time is...fleeting....

Who: Mercy or Gobbet and YOU
What: Realizing that some time may have passed
When: Nov. 24th
Where: Islet 1, Islet 5, Storyteller's Temple.
Warnings: None!



i) gobbet

[Gobbet did not consider herself afraid of heights.]

[Therefor, upon awakening from a particularly peculiar dream, the feeling of fear that permeated her soul was foreign and unwelcome. She couldn't remember a great deal of the dream, or what exactly had frightened her so badly, but the feeling was so persistent that, after only a few minutes of trying to pretend wakefulness hadn't reached her, she gave up and got started on her day.]

[The ork girl was not one for routine, but the island had a way of warping her into whatever shape was necessary for survival. Lately, she'd taken the shape of a gardener of sorts. Quite frankly, she hadn't thought she'd been doing that poorly either. Just about every morning she got up, watered her garden, headed to the beach to pick through the latest debris, and then committed to whatever tasks struck her fancy for the rest of the day. So you can find her out in front of her shack on islet 1 with a large plastic jug, easing water into a lightly "tilled" (disheveled, more accurately) patch of land.]

[Or, if you aren't the early morning type, you can find her at the new message rock, squinting at the smudged writings of those before her and wondering how so much got written seemingly over night.]


ii) mercy

[The local doctor, on the other hand, is a big fan of routine.]

[Though her dreams unnerved her, she brushed them off as just dreams and returned to her daily schedule. Up before either of her companions, feeding herself just enough food to get her going, and preparing to perform the necessary tasks for survival.]

[Today, Mercy intends to look over the temple for signs of a specific plant she's been hoping to collect some of for her medicinal stores. You can find her in and around her cottage on islet 5 during the early morning as she prepares to head out, or at the storyteller's temple in the late morning and afternoon.]



prettypurpleparlor: For what you're pleased to say (You're witty and you're wise)

Probably getting close to wrapping.

Well, I'll take your expert word for it- that sounds like an experience I'd be just as happy not to learn from in person.

[They sort of are and sort of aren't, it turns out. At least they'll be consistently inconsistent?]

Gotcha!

[Strictly speaking the only direct interactions she's had with gods have been either fantastic or terrible with nothing in between. She's just assuming it's unpleasant since it doesn't fall under the category of "desirable traits" in her book.]

[Gobbet yawns, stretches absently.]


Well, I should probably stop holding you up and start getting ready to repair the damages. Gonna have to start searching for less perishable foods in the future. Thanks for the food, by the way. That's going to help a lot.
prettypurpleparlor: A subtle web (I'm sure you're very welcome)

Wrapped unless you have more to add.

[Muffet smiles, waving off the thanks with an airy gesture.]

Oh, it's no trouble, dearie. Best of luck with your repairs.
