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?]

[pUFFS UP SUCCESSFULLY THIS TIME]

I'm not scared of anything!
rootandbranch: (and people are singing; how 'bout that!)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-09-29 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone's scared of something--!
rootbound: (Default)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-09-29 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Geeeeir!

[plaintive wail]
rootandbranch: (won't let go)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-09-30 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, sorry. I guess you're not.

[he curls up more in the reeds and water, squishing some of the reeds flat, so he can look at the wing that hides Vern better. frogs jump around them in a ribbity storm, but Vern is SAFE BEHIND HIS BARRIER. Geir does not really care about splintering some of the reeds. they'll grow back.

he is DEEPLY AMUSED AND FOND.]

My brave Vern.
rootbound: (so peel away the bark.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-09-30 02:16 am (UTC)(link)
[he knows perfectly well Geir is humoring him, but that lets him unpuff a little, though he doesn't come out just yet. sulkily leans his cheek against one of the ribs of Geir's wings]

They're just so--damp.
rootandbranch: (and people are singing; how 'bout that!)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-09-30 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
You're damp too. You fell in the water! Come out and lay in the sun for a bit.

[wheedling, transparently]

It was so funny when you squeaked. Is it bad that I laughed at you? Veeeeernnnn...
rootbound: (so peel away the bark.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-09-30 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
You are a tease.

[allows himself to be coaxed out onto Geir's back again, though . . . he is extremely wet]
rootandbranch: (the sun will rise)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-09-30 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I like teasing! And you're so easy to tease. Don't be maaaad.

[he nuzzles Vern's shoulder, ignoring the dripping.]

Should we go back and get you dry clothes?
rootbound: (lost in the forest of this heart.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-09-30 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[makes a tiny face at him, but puts a wet hand on his nose]

Didn't you want to finish growing the reeds--?
rootandbranch: (press on; the light is on its way)

[personal profile] rootandbranch 2017-09-30 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
We can always come back, if you want to be dry. Or I can! It's fine...

[shoves his face into Vern's hand.]
rootbound: (so peel away the bark.)

[personal profile] rootbound 2017-09-30 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[strokes it, considering; under normal circumstances he'd just sun it off, but he doesn't actually have confidence he'd stay on Geir's back when both of them are now wet

and he's looked uncool enough for one day :(

affects to look neutral and not relieved, though!]

Okay, okay. Let's go dry off.
