October Intro: Aftermath Mingle

[lifeaftr_mods]

Who: All!
What: Now that you've all committed monkey genocide, it's time to clean up and go home.
When: Evening of the intro log- and onwards!
Where: The Monkey Compound, Islets, etc.
Warnings: Mark as you go!


Congratulations on effectively reversing the tables, adventurers. As the hunted become the hunters, the remaining simians begin to retreat into the jungle, disappearing from sight as the drumming dies down, before extinguishing entirely.

It appears that you have won.

Now it's time to clean up.

Those still in the Monkey Compound may wish to begin scavenging what they can, from multiple coconut guns to rudimentary spears. There's a flock of Bludroc happy to be herded to a new home, several stashes of fresh fruit to be found... and a rather large iron pot, for the particularly bold.

Others may be more concerned with returning to the islets and securing the personal belongings that were left behind. There are new people to settle in, as well; and undoubtedly, a few injuries yet to be healed.

Reunite, rejoice, recover. And perhaps, should you see the Storyteller about- ask a few questions.

This isn't the castle. Realistically, none of these people are their concern- and all the better that they aren't, really. The less people begin to rely upon them, the better.

But the killing is over. They've won. Aside from restlessly watching those they know from afar, there's little else for Chara to do. Instinct wins, if only so they have something to do, anything.
Anything that isn't watching the people they don't belong with, anymore.
"Are you well, sir?" A courteous inquiry; leaving it open to him as to whether or not he would like the assistance of a blood covered child.

...Hm.

Ginko looks up at them, uncertainty clear enough on his face, leaning closer to concern than fear. "I'm... yeah, I'm just a little scratched up. Are you okay?"

[achievementhunter]

"Perfectly fine, thank you." It's always possible that they've picked up a few scratches, here and there. But that would be due to their rush, rather than any enemy they've faced; and thus, unimportant.

"Ginko, correct? You were in Ardyn's party, when we ventured up the mountain."

lmk if this works to assume!

[onegreeneye]

“Uh… good to… to hear.” For about half a second, that brings up the question of where the blood DID come from, but. He can guess. Frankly, this would have been a lot more shocking two years ago.

He nods and presses his lips together, taking a moment to remind himself of the brief times he’s seen this kid around. “Aren't you the kid who got all that organized?”

[achievementhunter]

"Indeed. Nothing ventured, nothing gained- at the least, we found a rather interesting location." Alongside a pack of hallucinogenic plants, but details.

[onegreeneye]

"Right. Too bad it wouldn't be convenient to go look around there more often, huh?"

Sure, they may have gotten a pretty good look around the first time, but that didn't mean there couldn't be more to explore up there. But between the distance and the conditions... well, it just wasn't feasible. Especially for someone as sensitive to light as Ginko.

[achievementhunter]

"It would be too bad- if there were anything to see."

Maybe they'd missed a pile of gold. A valuable resource. Either way, would it even be worth it, if they have to haul it back down the mountain?

"For the time being, I think I'd prefer to take stock around here."

[onegreeneye]

Ginko, of course, would argue that there's always more to see, but that's neither here nor there since they can't go back easily to begin with. Sticking to the area they're in now seems reasonable enough to him.

"Seems like a plan. At least we can get something out of this mess, huh?"
