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

The long walk (for Chara)


[ 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.

Combing the area


[ 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!

Counting chickens


[ 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...

Cultivating your strengths


[ 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...?

"You know, food, soap, housewares. I've got some ideas about nets." He can pick up on her skepticism, but that's not even a thing. "We're just trying to make this place a little less, hmm." He seems to think for a second, taps his lips, "Completely terrible. It's a lot of work, but somebody has to do it, and I don't see any other wizards stepping up to the plate." Not a burn, she's obviously been busy. "But we're still getting off the ground, in terms of materials. 'S why I asked if you found anything good." He grins brightly, to show he is a friendly and trustworthy wizard and this isn't a preamble to a mugging.
ohshitsweetflips: (technically that's on me)

Really, she doesn't need anything? Look at this good Elf Scout. Whatever, her loss. "Are they dumb? They sound dumb." Maybe he can make traps..."They gotta lay eggs, right? Maybe I can get that pie off the ground..."
