I want to see mountains again, Gandalf, mountains! [Open]
Who: Marcille and OTA
What: Marcille and Chara decide to explore the mountains, find lizardchickens.
When: 8/16 and beyond
Where: Enso F4, the mountains near the beach
Warnings: N/A
[ Marcille climbed ever higher, relying on her staff at times to give her that extra boost up. At length, she stopped for a brief swig of water. She shaded her eyes and looked back down at the terrain down below, past the rockiness of the cliff. ]
I liked going down steep paths a lot better.
[ Though little signs of life were about for those who were on the lookout for them, Marcille was more focused on finding landmarks and food than the local wildlife. It therefore came as a complete surprise when a swooping, crow-sized, lizard-tailed creature stole her comb right out of her hand. ]
Why, you...! Give that back!
[ More cries like the one from the pterax that had taken her comb could now be heard in the distance. Goddammit. ]
I need that, you scaly pigeon!
[ Of course, after the initial ordeal was over, Marcille ended up with a few trussed 'birds' and a number of eggs carefully stowed in her pack for the trip back. ]
Ha! If I had some extra rice, I could make some oyakodon. Oh, well! Let's see... roast bird? Hard-boiled eggs? Both at the same time?
[ She was practically drooling at the thought. Shellfish were well and good, but sometimes you just needed some solid fat and protein in your diet. ]
Maybe I should save the eggs for Muffet and see if they'll do for baking...
[ Over the past weeks, Marcille had stumbled upon some strange seeds -- and a few root vegetables in foraging. She couldn't do much with the carrots but eat them outright, but potatoes, now -- those she could handle! With her knife, she busily began cutting into a potato that had begun to sprout, separating out the eyes to plant later.
It was honest work, and her recent experiences had made this sort of work easier. Maybe her garden would even rival Senshi's... one day. ]
Let's see, where should I put these...?

The long walk (for Chara)

Combing the area

Counting chickens

Cultivating your strengths

[It would have been hot anyway. They've spent every night, waiting for the heat to leave- this place barely cools down. Ever.]
No point in complaining about it now. The sooner we scale the mountain, the sooner we can turn back.
no subject
What's up with this place, anyway? Did everyone here die out?
no subject
[That's gods for you. Chara smiles thinly, cheeks a more fervent red than usual. They can feel hair sticking to the nap of their neck.]
All of the buildings certainly seemed aged though. I take it we're the first sentient beings to occupy this island in some time.
no subject
What I want to know is what really happened to them...
no subject
[They say it so cheerfully, picking their way across the rocky terrain.]
Explore too far, and we'll wake it up. Ready to feast on our flesh, as well.
no subject
If that sort of creature is on this island, I'm sure it'll have to be dealt with whether we explore sooner or later.
no subject
I would hope so. It would make this far more interesting.
