lifeaftr | Islander meeting!

Who: Everyone!
What: An information gathering meeting, mingle log style!
When: 13th as advertised Here!
Where: Big tent, islet 4 (sorry Ardyn!)
Warnings: Keep an eye on subject lines for warnings!

[The tent is a good place to have this. It's sheltered at least. Shion has collected strawberries and also water. He hopes that people will turn up, there's a lot to discuss. About this place, how they are here and how to leave. But also surviving here. Helping each other make the most of being here.

They had done such things in the Tower and it was a good way to get things organised. He knows he has questions and he thinks other people probably do as well. If it's anything like the Tower then people all have different bits of information that will fit together eventually.

He greats people as they enter and will encourage anyone who looks less than certain to enter and offer them strawberries.]

((OOC: So I'll put up a subthread for mingling before the meeting, then discussion points can be posted as a reply to this main thread. I'll do a few for things Shion will bring up but feel free to post your own points as well! Tag around, do breakout threads, discuss all the things. Don't worry if things go off topic. Have fun!)

The smell might be coming from a nest of them. [A smell that permeates the whole area can't come from just one creature, there might be more of these vines. But as Ignis said there was a lot of maybes.] We will have to be vigilant for it when we next go exploring. I'll try and pay more mind to the smell and note where I smell it stronger.

[He has to hold back a shiver at the thought of a nest of malboros. One is bad enough!]

Thank you. I appreciate assistance. I'm going to be heading back myself to do more looking. Perhaps we can collect our findings on the rock for others to see?

That's a good idea. I can come and look with you as well... If you want [The offer is made but trails off into uncertainty. Shion has been okay exploring so far, even though his leg is still healing. But he still worries about slowing people down, especially as they explore further into the centre of the island, a longer distance from the mana pool.]

Soma has already agreed to go with me on my next trip. Lets see what that trip turns up and we can discuss further ones after that. The island is large and I have a feeling we're going to have plenty of trips in our future.

[He has no issue heading out with Shion at some point if need be. After all, if people can be patient enough to go out with a blind man, he can be patient enough to go out with someone whose leg isn't 100%.]

I think it will take a lot for us to explore all of it. [He nodded] I think me and Hinata are going to go on a trip too, he knows medical plants as well. [There's enthusiasm there, Shion is quite excited to have found someone whose knowledge of plants is similar to his, Aster happily lets him babble but he's aware that he probably bores her half the time]

That's good to hear. We need more people with medical backgrounds. I always fear missing a plant that could be extremely useful to us just because the right person wasn't there to see it. If you find something, will you let me know? I would like to add it to my garden if I may.

I wouldn't wish anyone here [Even if they were needed. This place was definitely not the worst place to be stolen to but no one should be stolen from their world at all.] But I understand what you mean. Hopefully as more people know who can identify plants and things they will let us know what they find.

[A smile] What do you grow in your garden at the moment?

[Ignis chuckles, looking embarrassed for a moment, before answering.]

Right now? Mostly coffee and witch hazel. I was just given some herbs, though, so they are soon to be added.

[And a few days after this log, he will be very busy trying to figure out how to bring apricots over to his little islet. Fun fun!]

[Both were good, witch hazel was especially useful. It was more of a garden than Shion had. Though he was planning on starting one. There were plants that could be moved over to Enso and though Shion had never grown anything before he knew the theory, it couldn't be that hard]

Hinata and I were thinking of trading stories for some material to build a greenhouse, that way we can grow different plants and protect them a bit more from the weather.

Do either of you know Mira? She's the one who just gave me the herbs. I believe she asked for something similar from the Storyteller and they could only do so much on the greenhouse itself. Materials would be easier than asking for the full building, though.

[It's actually a good detail to keep in mind. What the Storyteller can't give directly, they may still be able to give parts for.]

You can also make sure you don't duplicate plants accidentally should you decide to ask for plants as well.

I don't know her [But he will make an effort to find her, if she is someone else who knows about herbs and planting things. Working together was the best way to survive. Always.]

I'll make sure to talk to her, it will be best to work together on things [Not least because if any of them disappear their work will not be lost if someone else knows about it and how to continue it]

She lives on the same islet as I do if you wish an introduction or a place to start looking for her.

[Not that Ignis doesn't think Shion is perfectly capable of meeting her on his own, but well, his voice might sound just a little bit like that of a proud father right now. Mira's his girl.]

That would be kind of you [Shion isn't exactly shy, but having someone who knows them both introduce them would be less awkward then him seeking her out randomly]

The pleasure is all mine.
