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?]

[He nods, giving the lantern an assessing glance before he sets it on a nearby tree stump, alongside some other supplies he's managed to collect. It's not very much, but then, their resources are incredibly few. The limitations only seem to stack up]

Maybe something hands-free. Who knows when we'll encounter enemies in the dark?

[And what are they going to do if they have to juggle a light source along with their weapons? 9S might be able to manage, given the unconventional nature of his melee weapon use, but he does wave his hands around, and that wouldn't do very much for visibility if he were responsible for whatever light they have]

Not to mention, the others probably can't see any better than we do.

[She nods in agreement. Just as she'd expect, 9S comes to the same conclusion regarding having to hold the lantern. They really do make good partners, when it comes down to it.]

We're all on equal footing here. [Which is... a little strange. Different. Of course, humanity is always above them in every important aspect, but she's grown used to the fact that when it comes to physical matters, they're leagues ahead of them. They were built to, after all.] Making something hands-free would be beneficial for them as well.
