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! ]

Nope too late </3 forever

[onemanstrash]

Would you believe that I just woke up and it wasn't there? I didn't have to do a thing... Thinking about it so much probably helped!

[Just so it sounds like he actually did something to help the process along.

Keaton is more than happy to go into detail about everything, humming thoughtfully as he turns away again and prepares to head off. They can walk and talk, adventure and info at the same time.]

So! Us wolfskin are a proud bunch, always got our heads up high. We all live in packs up on Mount Garou and I'm the leader of my pack. Of course I am, I'm real leader quality. [Humour him. Please.]

D8! B-but... ;o; ;o; Q_Q *sobs forever* weeeeeeeeeeeeeh

[esper_magic]

R..really...?

[ ..be happy for him. Be happy for him. What kind of a monster was she if she couldn't do that for someone who finally remembered something so important? After all, he actually knew what he lost. Terra didn't know what she lost so... it's a good thing Keaton is so chatty and eager to talk about his tribe and things, because Terra is very quiet at this point. Just listening as they walk, she didn't really need to provide any input until he finished talking. ]

There are a lot of packs on the mountains where you live? And you're leader of all of them?

[ ... At least her questions were genuinely curious and she didn't sound resentful or unhappy that he recovered his memories and she hadn't. She honestly felt bad for not being as happy as she should have been! ]

... <3

[onemanstrash]

Yup, that's me... Okay I'm just the leader of my pack, but we all get along great. There's no bad blood between us wolfskin you know?

[They're all united against a common enemy after all, namely the humans that come to kill them for their pelts.]

There's bones and stuff lying all over the place, you can really tell the mountain is ours as soon as you set foot on it. What a home.

[There's a wistful sigh as thoughts of home come to mind. Rather than continue on though Keaton pauses for a moment before giving Terra an odd look.]

You okay? You're kinda, I dunno... Quieter than before. Which hey, if you're really that interested in all I gotta say that's great! [But if she's not then that's no good.]

.. <33

[esper_magic]

I'm glad to hear that. It's no good if you're fighting with your own kind. [ What awful people - who even does that, hunting another sentient species for its skin. Humans were jerks. ]

It sounds ...nice. [ It must be, as fondly as he speaks about it. Would she ever talk like that about her home? About anything? She startles a bit at the question, glancing at Keaton with a small smile. ]

I'm fine... I'm just listening. I like hearing you talk about your home. [ Which is true! She DOES like hearing about it. But she has that odd feeling the more she hears about it at the same time. Maybe she ate something weird... ]

How long have you all lived there?

[onemanstrash]

Hmm... If you're sure. Thanks for letting me talk so much about it! [He won't push that subject anymore if that's what she's saying about it.] We've all been there for... How long has it been?

[He starts counting on his fingers as though tallying up the years. Keaton ends up shrugging after a second or two though.]

As long as I can remember. The wolfskin have always lived on Mount Garou in Nohr.

[esper_magic]

Yeah.. I'm sure. [ She smiles, shaking her head. ] I don't mind, you seem so happy when you talk about it.

[ She fell into a thoughtful silence. ] Were you always the leader of the Wolfskin..?

[ Even wee baby KeatKeat!? ]

[onemanstrash]

Always? No way! It's the guys who contribute the most and hold their heads highest that get to be leader, you know? I wasn't just leader one day like that.

[There's a brief pause for a moment as Keaton wonders how best to put this, but then decides on just being blunt. There's no point in fretting over talking anyway.]

I killed a bunch of humans. The kind that threaten our home and the wolfskin. All they cared about was getting their hands on our pelts so the jerks deserved it. Anyone who messes with my pack gets messed up themselves.

[esper_magic]

...... [ He killed people to be leader? Well it was self defense so .. that was okay. Only.. ]

I've heard of people like that.. what if... what if they did it without meaning to? If someone made them do it? [ What's HIS opinion on people forced to do bad things? ]

[onemanstrash]

Mm, that's tough. [At least he seems to be putting a little thought into his response though.] If someone was being made to hunt us? Unless I knew that somehow I'd probably kill 'em anyway. It's not like people are gonna be walking around with a big sign saying "I didn't mean to kill you" though...

[If it concerns the lives of his pack then sorry, you might have to die.]

[esper_magic]

[ It's nice that he gives thought to it t hough. And... to be honest, she would probably make the same decision. Maybe. ]

... I think that a lot of people would decide the same. Would you still blame them for what they did? [ She's just full of odd questions lately. ]

[onemanstrash]

You're really going in with the hard hitting questions...

[Not that he minds answering. He does end up sighing however, it's not exactly an easy answer.] I guess I can't pin all the blame on them if they're being made to do it. Even if I'd want to see their blood for what they did. Kinda depends on how things go.

[esper_magic]

I'm sorry.

[ She tends to do that! How else is she to figure things out in terms of herself as well. ]

So ... what would you do if you ran into one of those people here? [ She's actually just plain curious at this point. Oh hey look, the path is opening up into a small field with a few bludrocs milling about. CHASE THEM No, don't, there's a mama bludroc nearby and it'll probably go after you too]

[onemanstrash]

It's fine, I don't mind. If you're so curious you wanna ask this stuff then I've gotta answer.

[Or such is his justification for answering all about killing people and pinning blame on them. He genuinely doesn't mind answering.]

Let's get this clear for just a sec. One day some guy washes up, and I know they've killed wolfskin before. But they are really determined in making me believe it wasn't their fault. [There's a pause as he lets that sink in.] The answer is pretty obvious to me.

[In this case? He would kill them.

On a brighter note, Keaton does perk up when he notices the bludrocs. Do you know how tempting it is to run through a bunch of birds and make them fly or and stress them out? Very. But he doesn't want to piss off the mother and get them chased off... For now anyway.]

[esper_magic]

Even if they apologized? [ Apologies don't mean a lot when they've killed someone from his pack she'd suppose though. Fortunately that'll be the last question she asks on THAT particular topic, so the heavy conversation will have passed. Also, good on you for resisting the urge to chase the birds. ]

That's a lot of birds... [ Terra notes as she passes them by - the mana bludroc sort of gives them the stink eye in warning, fluffing up the feathers and everything, but settles down again when they pass. ]

Some people here have them on their farm. I've seen. I don't think I'd be very good at raising animals though. But then again, I've never tried either. [ Oh, actually.. ]

You must have done so for your tribe before, though? [ Cuz sure, wolfskins are farmers right? ]
