catch-all open log!

Who: Anyone and everyone!
Where: On the beach, and various other places throughout the hub island
When: Day 80, and the next couple days after
Open/Closed: open log for hub shenanigans!

[This evening, someone has placed an old, rusted-over camp stove on the beach near the coven's row of huts--anyone examining it in detail will see that it's not operational at the moment, but that could potentially be changed, couldn't it? If someone was handy with mechanical things . . . .

Next to it is a crate (which, from the weight of it is empty) and pinned to that crate is a sheet of paper with a map on it, something like a much cruder, black-and-white version of this:



with the following key:

1 - crags. Contain snakes which may be poisonous. Watch out.
2 - ocean, going about one mile out from the coast.
3 - lagoon. Contains thick reeds (could be woven or shaped into tools) and frogs (edibility uncertain).
4 - abandoned campsite.
5 - orchard. Currently, trees are diseased and bare. Plant healer needed.
6 - abandoned house. A family used to live here, from the looks of it. Still contains some useful supplies.

And there should be a 7 north of base camp with the notation "graveyard. Graves unused." but the player forgot and is too lazy to go back and fix it right now. Observant individuals will note that the map looks like a more detailed version of one hanging on the door to a certain coven member's cabin, one that has a note on the bottom: "Have information? Ask for Jay."

Other than that, it's a quiet night on the hub island. We've been here for a couple days; maybe you're getting restless? Want to check out that ocean, or lagoon, or even those crags? Maybe just go door-to-door in the beach huts? Maybe you're sick of shrimp and looking for other things to eat . . . hopefully someone's got a fire going tonight, and thought to kill a boar . . . .

What are you doing tonight?]

Boars don't just attack people... do they?

[DO THEY?? They have, like, a dragon and Shiro's a big lion bot would they really dare??]

But, uh, can't have been here that long. I definitely would've noticed it before now.

They seem to be very territorial. Jay said it was their birthing season last time. It's possible that's still going on.

[He glances about and nods to himself.]

...there has to be a way to tell if time passes here while we're away. I'll look around later for a clock.

[Souda makes a small eeeeeeh, NONE TOO EXCITED about the possibility of boar attacks.]

I'm startin' to feel like I should just stay inside... [All the time. Hikikomori lifestyle, go.] Why wouldn't time pass, though?

There are a number of reasons why it might not. But it is, we'll need to use up supplies or take them with us and lock up each time we depart.

[A deep rumble comes from his direction.]

You don't need to stay inside. There's more than enough of us to help you if they get this close.

Guess a boar don't got a chance of beatin' a giant lion robot...

Still, what if I'm out here on my own and no-one else's around?

[Or if two of them normies get stuck out here... Now he's just worrying about it.]

[That is a very good question. He tips his metal head slightly to the side. It's true no one can be safe 100% of the time but,]

We'll have to work on it. It's not comforting but we can tackle this problem. It's just going to take some thinking about it. We're going to need to use them for food at some point. We could set traps to slow them down around the areas most frequented?

Like-- bear traps or somethin'? [Mumbling to himself:] I don't know anythin' about how you trap boars.

[Or any animal, to be honest. He's not an outdoorsy type, he's just been mooching off of whoever happens to have food and getting by.]
