Who: Terra, ~~Trashw~~ Keaton and OPEN
What: Out and about on the main island now that the flooding has stopped
When: 11/10
Where: NONE OF YOUR BEESWA- er. Enso and the Islets (..sounds like a band name). Allll over.

[1: Wandering Around, Surveying the Damage]
[ The flooding did quite a number on the island, and Terra had been curious about what the effects it would have, personally - plus, she hadn't been sleeping well, so some fresh air usually helped. Usually- the air was anything but fresh and clean on the mainland. Especially near the water - it smelled like dead fish. She paused on the beach for a little bit, just observing the area, her stomach turning at the sheer stench, before she rather suddenly pivoted to walk away, shuddering. The plantlife wasn't doing much better on that front for that matter. So far into her thoughts was she that she couldn't even muster her usual energy as she made her way along the beach. ]

[2: Closed for Keaton and Terra's Adventurin' Hijinx]
[ With all the dead fish and plants from the flooding, Terra had sauntered down to the beach to look for Keaton - figuring from their conversation, it was the most likely place he'd be right now thanks to his love of disgustingly smelly things. Ick. Well, to each their own, although she had to admit Keaton was the first person..wolf..person that she's ever met who actually LIKED the smell of dead things. But thinking about that lead her mind to a darker thought she shied away from. Her walk earlier did successfully wake her up enough that she could feign her usual cheer at least, and that was a good thing - she already accidentally worried Keaton once. She'd rather not do so again. ]

[3: Wildcard]
[ Terra can be found in various parts of the island and on any of the islets today. Normally her walks only take her from Islet #1 to the mainland where she'll explore a bit, but today she's getting in a little extra wandering time and visiting other islets for what is probably the first time in the last month or so. She might be perched up in a tree chilling out with the birds, hanging out by a mana pool or even checking out other things - anything can happen! ]

[ Terra nods down at him. ]

I was looking around earlier too. The flood did quite a bit of damage - there were a lot of plants and fishes that were unsalvageable. But Keaton and I found some blue animals that might be edible. I brought a few of them to Roy's farm earlier this morning.

But as far as food.. I'm fine for a while. I don't eat much. If someone needs food though, I can lend them some of mine.

[A thumbs-up!]

I'll keep that in mind! Glad to hear it worked out for you and Keaton! He seemed like a nice fella.

[Weird, but nice. ... which describes 99% of the island to him really]

[ Terra nods a little hesitantly. ]

He is very nice. It's .. a little strange that he likes things like.... trash and dead animals, though. He gets very excited, just talking about them.

... Don't tell him I said this, but he kind of reminds me of my pet dog, Pluto.

Why is that? [ SHe shifted a little on the branch, and aw'd softly when the birds that were gathered around scuttled off immediately. ]

... does Pluto like trash and dead animals..?

Yep. And he does the tail-wagging thing a lot.

[... so does mickey, but he's oblivious to that.]

[ It's okay Mickey, it's not really as obvious as Keaton's. ]

Then it must be a dog thing..? [ Pause. ] Although ... Keaton isn't a dog. [ Hm. He does have ears kind of like a wolf though.. ]

Maybe where he is, he's that place's version of a dog!

I... don't think we should ask him that, though. [ She murmured. ] I think it would be like asking if you were some world's version of a mouse.

But I am a mouse!

[Pause.]

... Oh, you mean like the little ones. Yeah, good idea.

[ Okay yeah he is a mouse, but not a MOUSE. When he got her meaning, she nodded with a faint smile - and then thought for a moment. ]

Does Pluto speak like you do too?

Oh no, Pluto's a pet dog, not a Dog dog like I'm a Mouse mouse.

[... that make sense, right?]

... [ Not a... wait what? ]

A... mouse-mouse? [ And dog-dog? What? ]

... Well, you know the little squeaky mice that you're used to, smaller than me?

The cute little ones? Yes, I know them. Are they called mouse-mouses where you're from?

No, we just call 'em mice. I guess back home, we just... kinda know, when we talk about 'em.

Oh. [ That would make sense, she supposes. ]

So Pluto, your dog ... he brings trash and things to you often? Is he here? I don't think I've ever seen any dogs.. I've seen a wolf though.

No, he's not here... I tried askin' the Storyteller about him, but they said no. Funny enough, they gave me a toy version of him instead!

They said no, really? .. I didn't think it would be a problem for just a dog.. then again he said he wasn't responsible for our being here, right? Maybe .. his power doesn't extend to living beings...? [ A toy dog sounds adorable though. ]

Maybe so. But it might be for the best. Maybe we didn't need an extra mouth to feed.

[it's what he's told himself anyway, although he's still a little sad about it.]

It would be hard for him, I suppose, with the limited food we have here. Do you miss him a lot...?

... I do. I miss all my friends. But I know we'll see each other again. I just have to be patient.

[Aww, Mickey. Terra shifted to tilt her head, glancing down at him pensively, before she offers a small smile. ]

I believe that too. You're a good person.. mouse... Mickey, so you'll get good things too. [ She wants to believe that at least. ]

[Aww, Terra. He smiles right back at her.]

Right back at you, Terra. You're really swell!
