Re: ooc: volume 2
Well, for an expedition into the interior, we'd need weapons, several weeks' food, tents, tools, machetes, medical supplies, a team of porters and native guides, plus an elephant. :)
Apart from our weapons and usual equipment, I can't think what we might need, not knowing what we might run into. Maybe some money minted at around the time, and 1863 British almanac, and a history book or newspaper for the time. It could be useful to know the weather, events, etc. in advance, or we can just cheat on horse-races. :D
This could be awkward when we find out who Penny's mother is... ;)
Unfortunately, Penny and Simon aren't yet back to the level of being able to share stuff easily. I've suggested before that they speak on some matters, like Castiel, but the nature of the campaign at this point means we don't get much of a chance. TBH, brooding privately on our issues until they become major problems is something of a theme in the Supernatural series. :)
