[ Islet 1 ]

[ The most troublesome thing of having no memories, is not knowing what she should be doing, exactly. She wasn't back on her own world anymore, so she didn't have to worry about anyone dragging her back to the Empire. On the other hand, ... no, that wasn't something to think about. Besides, her head was bothering her too much and her dreams certainly didn't help. Fresh air did, though, and for a large part of the morning, she sat outside her shack, looking around her surroundings. Finding food would also be a priority. At one point it occurred to her to check out that strange helmet in her bag. She pulled out the molehat, turning it over in her hands, tapping the light - until her fingers managed to find the trigger to turn it on and nearly blind herself as the light flashed in her eyes. ]

Eep!

[ She yelped in surprise, dropping the molehat and letting it bounce off to the ground, rolling away. She squinted, rubbing her eyes as she got to her feet - now where did she drop that thing..! And also, hopefully no one saw that. That was embarrassing. ]

[ Exploring other areas - Enso, Mana Pool, other islets, etc! ]

[ Thankfully she eventually did find her molehat. After that she was tired of lingering in the same spot, so she had mustered up her nerve to start exploring the islets and the area around them properly. She had her sword with her, checking it for damage. Although since she had her sword out, she had to mentally remind herself that some of the people here weren't... people. Reacting the way she normally would back home would be frowned upon. She'd emptied her pack of most of its items, leaving them back at her shack, mainly to make room for the things she came upon that she thought were interesting - or edible, soon coming to rest by one of the mana pools again. Anyone that popped through them would get a shy greeting from the half-esper ... provided she didn't get the bejeezus scared out of her. Again. ]

[ Terra glanced behind her at the shack she had claimed. ]

It is a relief to have some kind of shelter. But I worry a little that I might be takeing someone else's home from them. [ She pauses slightly. ]

Although it seems like no one has been in it in a long time.

[ It's true, humans do have fewer eyes than a spider. Terra isn't sure that blindspots are the reason she was reluctant to put the helmet on though. ]

Also it someone won't be able to steal your things if you have them safely in your house. [ ... well there's robbers... ]

That is a concern, but I believe that most places have a legal limit for how long a dwelling can be entirely abandoned before it's no longer someone's property- and judging by the state of things, I suspect we're well past it.

Still, if someone with a prior claim turns up, we can always speak politely with them and sort it out like reasonable people.

[In other words, finders keepers.]

Yes, everybody's been quite pleasant so far, but it will still be nice to have a proper door to close again. Besides, some of the wildlife can be quite... mischievous.

[She remembers taking Marcille's comb back from the pterax with a little pang of worry. It's been worryingly long since she's seen her around...]

[ Hopefully they wouldn't be angry, but Terra nods, agreeing with the sentiment. ]

The one I found there [ A nod back towards the shack she had been standing outside of ] doesn't look like it's in very good condition, but it'll do at least. I can't really complain about that.

[ And she supposed she could figure out how to fix the holes if she asked around. ]

Mischievous? What do you mean?

I've picked out one that I'd like to work on, myself. It could certainly be better, but it's not too bad.

Oh, one of my friends had some trouble with this flock of what looked like feathered lizards, once- they stole a comb from her.

How bad is it? It's still all right for you to stay in for the time being, isn't it? While you're fixing it up?

Feathered lizards? ..what a strange thing for them to steal.

Oh, it's fine- but thank you for your concern, dearie.

And I admit I don't know what a creature without hair would want with a comb, but perhaps they're just fond of shiny objects.

[ She shook her head, dismissing the thanks. No thanks necessary. ]

Um... well if you ever need any help or anything... I ...actually don't know how much help I'd be, but you helped me when I first arrived here.

I appreciate the thought, nevertheless. And by the same token, do feel free to ask me if you ever need help with something.

[As ridiculous as this island is, helping each other out is probably the only way they're all going to make it out okay.]

[ Terra nods. And boy would she be full of questions - it was kind of embarrassing how much she couldn't remember or know. ]

Ah.. I'll do that.

I ..guess I should get back myself. [ And try to figure out what she needed to do. ]

[Muffet smiles warmly, and nods.]

Good luck with your efforts, dearie.

[ Terra nodded with a half-smile. ]

You too. Take care, Muffet!
