Nothing like the smell of rotting ape corpse in the morning

Who: Newt and Everyone Who Either Commented or Is Listed in This Post
What: Searching that Monkey Compound
When: 10/7
Where: Everyone's on a D8
Warnings: Rotting monkey corpses? IDK, tag ur stuff, friendos


"Picking over the remnants of that bloody battle will prove quite advantageous, as long as you don't mind the smell. Not only did the monkeys fashion several abodes mounted in the branches of the trees in the compound, but they had quite a supply of various items on hand. For those who may have been concerned about islet over-crowding, it seems they need not worry; most of the homes remain undamaged, and aside from the strong smell of monkey, are completely habitable."

"Investigating the back of the compound will reveal a very small plot of farmland, where several rows of plants with dark green leaves can be seen growing. Anyone with a knack for identifying useful plants - or anyone who's simply willing to take one for the team and give them a taste - will soon discover that these leaves are the plants from which the monkeys drew their sedative. It makes quite a useful anesthetic in a pinch!"

"The sigil etched deeply onto the door itself will, as the Storyteller warned, be quite effective in keeping people out. The door repels any and all efforts to break through it; those sensitive to magic may note that it does indeed exude a very powerful and dense aura that makes its origins difficult to discern. One thing is clear, however: it will take a great deal more than teamwork between mortals to get through it." ( x )

[Welcome to the Mingle Log, Fam. Around you are the rotting corpses of many dead apes. There's also many items for you to lay claim to. Or you might feel like checking out those sweet sweet monkey nests. Or checking out that door. Whatever you feel like doing, leave a top level for people to pester you with. Or pester other people with top levels. The Mingle Log is your Oyster.]

Seems like the powers that be really just want tall tales.

[Or maybe that was just a dream. Either way, that was the song and dance McCree remembers.

Though he can't rightly say he believes it. It's all too abstract, so while McCree can't exactly refute the Storyteller's honesty...]


You think you could do me a favor of pointing those folk out to me? [Though if they were still surprised to end up here, they might not be all that useful...] Not that I don't value your information, ma'am, but neither of us are exactly experts in this, now.

No offense taken- I've spoken to them both about the situation often, for precisely the same reasons.

And I'm willing to send you their way, of course, although I do have to add that it's up to them to decide whether or not they wish to speak of their experiences to you. It's their lives, after all. Both are human men, as far as I'm aware- Newt is a rather energetic man with light brown hair and interesting tattoos, Tim is dark haired and tends to be more soft-spoken. I believe both of them live on the islets, although I don't recall exactly which houses they've chosen.

[She deliberately doesn't mention Sans, for his own sake- she can still remember their conversation, and that he seemed more reluctant to say anything about what he went through than any of the other more... unfortunately experienced castaways. She suspects it's better not to push him.]
