Ruins Mingle Log!

[ohnehalfte]

Who: Newt Geiszler ohnehalfte and EVERYONE
What: So a bunch of people headed up towards the ruins, so they've got to all run into each other and start to congregate, right???
When: Evening of the mingle log and onwardish.
Where: The Ruins
Warnings: Um...same as the mingle log?



The beach curves up a gentle slope until it meets forest, some manner of building visible through the trees. Further exploration of this area will reveal a dilapidated building of sorts; the architecture is indiscernible to even the most skilled eye. Despite looking as if it has seen better days, there are areas that offer some form of shelter...and who knows what else. Just because it appears uninhabited doesn’t mean you won’t wind up pleasantly, or unpleasantly, surprised.


[ooc: Hey y'all! I thought this might be a good place to start getting larger groups of characters together to do some exploring, settling down, banding together and figuring out rations, etc. Feel free to throw up any threads of your own for specific things like exploration groups, a gathering in the entrance hall, whatever strikes your fancy or that you think your character would organize. Have a party!

Edit: Additionally, there is now an OOC Post for those that want to handwave their character signing up for ruin exploration]

it's ok, i'm later /o\

[ At this point Clementine isn't surprised this kid's eyes go right to the gun in her hand, everyone else's has. Not everybody has a gun here, or even a weapon; it's not like back in Georgia at all. ]

I'm not twitchy. [ It's mostly true, she thinks. Clementine wants to be careful when it comes to shooting. It seems like there's a lot of good people here. ]

I have a hatchet too. In case it's better to be quiet. [ She's not yet convinced there's no walkers around here, and walkers like noise. ]

don't worry at all!

[achievementhunter]

Mm...

[They're not all that convinced, honestly. A hatchet is handy, but even so.

They prefer something a little more close quarters, personally. A moment of consideration, and they kneel, pulling a knife out from their boot. They turn it over in their hand, offering it to Clementine hilt first.]

It's best to have some variety.

[takeusback]

[ Clementine frowns, surprised. She's not sure what she expected from this kid, but it wasn't that.

A knife would probably be more useful than a hatchet. She hesitates, still unsure there isn't a catch. ] Don't you need it?

[achievementhunter]

[They shrug, smile inane and revealing nothing.]

I have another.

[-five. Another five.]

Besides- the little people need to look out for one another, do they not?

[takeusback]

Yeah - I guess so. [ She'll take the knife then, examining it for a moment before going to put it in her knapsack. ] Thanks.

[ She hesitates for a moment, then goes on, ] Let me know if you need anything... I have rice if you're hungry.

[achievementhunter]

[Her reluctance to take it is clear- more so, the hesitation involved when offering some of her food. They can understand; nothing says this food will last. Nothing says there'll be anything to replace it, either.]

My sibling and I appear to be well cared for, at the moment. But I'll keep the offer in mind, thank you.

[There. That's their good deed, for this life. No doubt it will come back to bite them eventually- but for the time being, that's one less child to worry about. If she can handle a gun, they're sure she'd be capable of handling a knife.]

You should see if any of the adults are willing to provide you something, too. Some of them are rather generous.

[takeusback]

I know. There's a lot of good people here - they already helped me cook stuff. [ She doesn't like to take too much from anyone else though, even the adults. They need stuff to survive here just as much as she does. ]

You have a brother or sister here? That's lucky. [ As far she knows, there aren't many people she's met yet who already know others on the island. ]

[achievementhunter]

Hm. [They can see Frisk settling down to do just that, actually. With Edward, of all people. They allow their gaze to stray for a moment; until Clementine asks her question.]

Just sibling. Neither of us are a boy or a girl. [She has far more reason to be caught off-guard by that than most.] Instead of 'he' or 'she', we use 'they'. But you can simply call us Kidwun and Kittu.

[takeusback]

Oh... [ Clementine pauses for a just a second, thinking that over. Then she nods. That makes sense. ] Okay. Are you Kidwun or Kittu?

[achievementhunter]

Kidwun. [One. It makes sense, that they would assume the insinuation of being the eldest.] And Kittu is over there.

We'd also be willing to assist you, should you ever require it.
