Action: HECK YEAH PLANET MINGLE
When: 10/7 until plot update or recaptcha

It's a deep, deep forest filled to the brim with fungi, mysterious life forms, and pitch black darkness. Explore if you dare and discover all these things and more! Just don't get lost...

No no no. We've got enough pets on the Huntress. I don't know why he feels the need to adopt every animal he sees like some kind of empty nester. [okay but, more pressing is the question of whether or not sorey can eat these]

I didn't mean for a pet. We definitely have enough of those.

[He doesn't even know how many of those slugs Sora bought, he just knows that "too many" is accurate.]

...You're not planning on hunting them, are you?

I'm almost out of jerky! And all the deer and normal game animals here are like the size of elephants!
nerdeology: (and she was really annoying)

video

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-17 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
So put together a proper party, hunt an elephant-sized animal, and share like you did with the dinosaurs. That sounds a lot better to me than giving yourself viral hemorrhagic fever.
monolike: (so quit my whining cause)

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-19 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[mikleo do not say such scary things] I didn't hunt those dinosaurs! If anything, they were hunting me.
nerdeology: (...anyway)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-20 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[how else is he supposed to deter you]

Oh, is that why you were handing out hundreds of pounds of jerky to everyone you knew? Because you were being hunted?

[uh-huh.]
monolike: (nobody tells ME no)

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-20 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That jerky was all mammalian! I don't like reptile jerky, it smokes weird.

Look, I won't hunt the mice, okay? Even if it is perfectly safe.

Good.

[The attitude leaves him unruffled. He would rather have a huffy Sorey
than a diseased one, thank you very much.]


Isn't there something else you can hunt that isn't unreasonably sized? I'd have thought rodent meat would be kind of gamey.

[Even if he was capable of eating these days he'd find the idea unappealing.]
monolike: (why you always lyin)

video

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-21 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
If there're any rabbits here, I guess. They'd probably be the size of a prickleboar though.

Maybe closer to the edge of the forest? I think I saw some normal animals there, but it's hard to hunt so close to the edge. They're always ready to bolt.
nerdeology: (there are traces of discarded fur in--)

video

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-22 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you could ask around, see if there's anyone who might have a bow you could borrow. The ability to attack long-range would help.

[Technically they'd have a bow if they armatized, but yeah.

...Yeah.]
monolike: (why you always lyin)

video

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-23 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah...]

Mm, I have a bow, it's arrows I'm worried about. I did a lot of hunting before and I couldn't recover that many, so I'm running low. I don't think I'm gonna be able to offer anybody jerky this time around. [Seriously depressed about that, too.]
nerdeology: (so much black stuff.....)

video

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-23 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Can you make more? I know it would be time-consuming, but maybe if you found a tree with small enough branches...

[It's probably a long shot, considering how huge the trees are, but he's not sure what else to do.]
monolike: (hm but do you think that's true)

video

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-24 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
I should at least gather materials while I'm here, at the very least. It can't hurt to have more arrows.

But to get the fletching I'll need to bring down a few birds...arrowheads might be an issue, unless that rock in the cliffs is less porous than it looks...
nerdeology: (what? I didn't say anything)

video

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-24 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
I can talk to Dezel about that. He probably knows how to get up to where the nests are, and he wouldn't object if we gather molted feathers.

[Provided they don't tell him the feathers are for hunting other animals, presumably.]
monolike: (okay but where the fuck is it)

video

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-25 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I would feel really bad, getting Dezel to find feathers for me when I'm just gonna use them for arrows to kill all his little woodland friends.
nerdeology: (you're born of mistakes)

video

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-25 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[you're so inconveniently honest, good grief.]

Careful you don't run out of arrows trying to take down the birds.

[They're harder to catch than prickleboars, even if they're giants.]
monolike: (MY DUBIOUS HERITAGE)

video

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-25 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
An alternative: I hunt down these mice, right here, and risk a very mild case of dysentery. [it probably won't even happen]
nerdeology: (i said no)

video

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-25 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[sOREY]

Forget it. Just because I'm no longer sick doesn't mean you have to go looking for an excuse to catch a disease.
monolike: (learning is so dope)

video

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-25 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
You are making this so much harder than it needs to be...

All right, all right. I'm gonna come back, then. My bow's in my quarters. [Enjoy this closeup of treebark as Sorey shoves his comm into his breast pocket to shimmy back down the tree he's currently in.]
nerdeology: (i didn't flail around like a fool either)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-25 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[When Sorey reaches the ship, he won't have to go all the way to his quarters, or Mikleo's; instead he'll find Mikleo seated cross-legged on the ramp leading up to the Huntress cargo bay, the bow across his lap, quietly fine-tuning the string while he waits. There's a quiver with the last of Sorey's arrow supply beside him.]
monolike: (ayyyy lookin atchu)

action

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-26 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Sorey's face changes when he sees Mikleo on the ramp, picking up his pace to jog over a little faster.] I didn't expect to see you out here! Are you feeling better?

nerdeology: (of course you'd make a hat.)

[personal profile] nerdeology 2016-10-26 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
Much better, actually.

[And he's not all talk, either; during Sorey's absence out in the wild, the change in Mikleo is both significant and measurable. Thanks to passing the two-week mark since his return and the fresh air of the planet itself, the colour's returned to his skin, his eyes are brighter and more alert than they've been since the month before, and he looks more stable, sitting up straight without anything to support himself.]

It might just be the cabin fever talking, but I was thinking of finally getting out there to explore, myself.
monolike: (it all keeps adding up)

[personal profile] monolike 2016-10-26 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorey's approaching trot slows and he takes in the glow of Mikleo's face, the shine of life and intellectual focus in his eyes. He's as breathtaking as he ever was before.]

...well then. [Sorey takes the offered bow and pats his chest. It's been a while, and the last time Mikleo entered his body was-

Well. They'll have to face it some time. And now, with his heart swelling with affection and his spirit braver than it's been in months, Sorey thinks it's safe to try.]
Coming?
