[Using the pipe system is pretty interesting. Quickly travelling from place to place isn't unlike traveling the Hedge back home. And he's getting an inkling that he could use this in combination with the fact his Hedge Gates here only go between places he already knows to get even more benefit.
That's part of why he's signed up to help map their paths. But also, it's one of the few jobs he feels that he can do and other people will need the information.
Popping out of a pipe, feet still soggy from a few pipes back, he frowns at the sight of three little fire-breathing dinosaurs as they stare him down.]
Great.
Panda Picking Season
[He had to take this one as soon as he saw it. Not because pandas are cute, but because the thought of any child becoming lost away from a parent is still too close to home. Paid or not, it's important to him that he help prevent that.
The nice thing is that this is a mostly chill jub, which is good because he's been a little tired lately. It also gives him time to think. About this world, about home, about his friends...about his parents. About the fact that even if he wasn't here, none of it really matters anymore. That part of his life is over and done, and as long as most of them stay safe that's what matters. He needs to focus on himself for now...which is easy to say, isn't it?]
Migrating Foes
[The nice thing about being Lost is having a potentially varied way of interreacting with threats. Cole turns his attention away from the Gem Biter, leaving it quaking and unresponsive where it sits. The only other things immediately around are slimes, but he's not sure quite how to get them out of the area without killing anything. Violence is almost never his first instinct where there are other answer, so this is a problem.]
Silent Streams
[Despite the unnatural silence, he actually feels a little at home here. Autumn is his element back home and he can clear his mind except for the task at hand. He's only got three containers with him, physical strength being an area that he's seriously lacking in. He might do this a few times though, just to enjoy the peace.]
