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?]

[Madoka's first instinct is to ask what a Keyblade is, but — boar. she offers Roxas a smile that's caught somewhere between reassuring and sheepish.]

Well, this isn't my usual bow ... but I trust my aim. [it would likely be pretty concerning if this was her usual bow.]

We should probably leave if there's a chance we might not win this.

If you trust your aim, I trust it too. We can always run if the arrow doesn't take it down.

[ He gives her a fully reassuring smile. He's never known someone with confidence in their skills to let him down. ]

Worst case scenario, you run and I throw down with it.

[she opens her mouth slightly, not to argue, really, but to request that Roxas please not be reckless — her heart wouldn't be able to take it. but despite how many times she's already asked friends not to be reckless, and how her worry grows tenfold every time she does, she finds something easing in his smile, and she nods. Madoka trusts him.]

Okay. I can heal you if you get into trouble. [hopefully he won't get into trouble. she readies her bow, shifting to the side slightly so that she can take aim.]

I'm Madoka, by the way. Are you ready?

Roxas. [ He gets into... something resembling his normal fighting stance, albeit barehanded. ... That feels weird, so he reaches down and picks up two sticks, wielding them as he would Oathkeeper and Oblivion. ]

Ready as I'm gonna be. Let's take this thing down.
soulcomet: (human ◡ WHAT THE ACTUAL)

[personal profile] soulcomet 2017-09-29 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Roxas, those are sticks.]

... Are you sure you're going to be okay with those? [of course, she's too late with that question — some foliage straight ahead suddenly snaps as the boar that had been yelling threatening at them earlier crushes through them.]

[it's now or never. Madoka immediately draws her bow back, and, once the boar catches wind of them and starts charging, lets the arrow fly.]

[it's a direct hit! unfortunately, although they both were right to trust her aim, getting arrow'd doesn't seem to be actually stopping the boar — the two of them better scatter.]
358: (darker than dark)

[personal profile] 358 2017-09-29 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ Scattering would be ideal, but Roxas isn't much for rational planning. He gestures for her to move, and, well... dives towards the boar with his sticks.

He literally smashes it in the face so hard with both sticks that they shatter, and then turns to run. He's lucky he's so fast. ]


I have no idea if that did anything at all! I don't know where to go, either! This was a terrible plan!!

[WHAT IS IT WITH RECKLESS BLOND BOYS ON THIS ISLAND. Madoka nocks another arrow, backstepping as she does so she's at least a somewhat safe distance away from the boar.]

Just keep running! I'll try to slow it down — [she doesn't have that many arrows, but she should have enough to stop the boar long enough for them to escape maybe.]
