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?]

Maybe. Is that an issue?

Sorry to pique your interest.

[That's all she has to say. The fire under the meat has died down some, but it should be well cooked now. Rather violently, Velvet stabs into the boar and cuts off good-sized piece. She has a plate and some utensils on hand, and she puts a fair effort into the presentation before offering him the plate.]

Here.

[It's been lightly seasoned with whatever she could find around – nothing fancy, naturally, but it should add a slight kick to the flavor.]

What do you have to apologize for?

[ but jude is smart enough to realize that she's shutting down the conversation right here, and he has no intent to protest. instead, he accepts the offered food with a strained, but grateful, smile. ]

... Thank you. Like I said earlier, I can already tell you're a much better cook than I am.
allconsumed: (♦ in the shadow's long)

[personal profile] allconsumed 2017-12-09 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
[That was meant to be more of a "sorry, not sorry" but whatever. He can interpret it how he wants.]

It's nothing special. All it takes is some practice.

[personal profile] talim 2017-12-09 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ don't mind his missed social cues...... ]

Then I guess I need more practice. Next time, I'll cook something for you.

[ he has no idea whether velvet would ever actually sign up for that (rather, he doubts it) but. ]
allconsumed: (♦ but no baby not today)

[There isn't much chance of it going terribly wrong, considering she has no sense of taste when it comes to normal food.]

Oh really. [She only sounds kind of skeptical.]

I suppose that's a fair trade. I wouldn't try anything too tricky, though.

[Basically in case he offers it to somebody other than her.]
talim: do not take (pic#10683780)

[personal profile] talim 2017-12-11 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Really?

[ jude looks rather delighted by this. he remembers what she said about taste, but that's not the point. it's the principle of things. ]

Then it's a promise.
allconsumed: (♦ you followed me)

[personal profile] allconsumed 2017-12-11 07:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Tch. Why does he have to look so pleased? Her expression is quite grumpy in contrast.]

Why shouldn't I let you pay me back? You still owe me from before, too.
talim: (Default)

[personal profile] talim 2017-12-12 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ his smile doesn't waver. ]

What can I do to make it up to you, then?
allconsumed: (♦ saw you sneaking)

[personal profile] allconsumed 2017-12-13 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Right, well, if he has to.]

I'll let you know. Hopefully you actually turn out to be dependable.

Also you should shut up and eat before it gets cold.
talim: (pic#9332489)

[personal profile] talim 2017-12-13 12:21 pm (UTC)(link)
... Right. I guess I'll just have to prove myself, huh?

[ a helpless little shrug before he does what velvet says and digs in. ]
allconsumed: (♦ saw you weeping)

[personal profile] allconsumed 2017-12-14 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Why does he have to be so agreeable? Damn. She actually feels kind of bad.]

It'll be something you should be able to handle. I won't set you up to fail.

You know, you're a lot kinder than you seem to think you are. At least... that's the impression I get.
allconsumed: (♦ thought that i would drown)

[personal profile] allconsumed 2017-12-14 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
Keep your impressions to yourself.

[Grumble, grumble.]

There's no point in collecting on the favor if you screw it up. That's all.

[personal profile] talim 2017-12-14 09:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, ma'am.

[ salutes. ]
