[Action]

[This city make Fenris uneasy- he knows he's not the only one, not by a long shot. Anything abandoned that quickly has to have something unfortunate underlying it all. The fact that everything resets itself is only more cause for concern. Is it some kind of time loop? Were he in Exsilium, that would have been his first thought.

He can be found on the days while they're here, wandering around the system tense- muscles coiled and ready for a fight at every turn. He doesn't indulge in the free offerings, and gives heavy glares to anyone who does so in his presence. He avoids the movie theatre and carnival on principle, but he might be tempted over there, if the right person were to ask.]

[Network]

[Fenris can't remember the last time he actually made a post on the network. It's not something he tends to do, he rarely uses the blighted thing at all, if he can help it. He's never been one for drawing too much attention to himself.]

Has anyone else observed the changeover yet? I attempted it last night, but it went by far too quickly.

[And that's it, no hello, no goodbye. Brief and to the point as always.]

Action

[apurrstate]

[It wasn't so much that they were exploring the area together so much as they'd left separately and happened upon each other about a block back. Now they were in one of the stores that seemed to host everything from clothing materials to food to tools and Anders had picked up one of the pears. Much to Fenris' apparent discontent?? Not that Fenris disapproving of something Anders randomly does is at all strange still, despite everything. Anders turns as he catches the look and shrugs, brow raised.]

What? It's a piece of fruit.

Action forever!

[wolfuncaged]

A piece of fruit that has been cultivated by no one- that seemingly appears from nothing. Isn't that even a little suspicious to you?

[Not like their Fleet food comes from nowhere, either, of course.]

[apurrstate]

[He scoffed.]

Absolutely.

But, also, it's a pear. And not protein paste.

[Do you know how long it's been since he's had a pear? Don't take this from him with your logic, Fenris.]

[wolfuncaged]

There are apples on the Iskaulit, are those not enough?

[They're not the same thing, Fenris, come on. ]

[apurrstate]

Have you had a pear? They're hardly the same.

[He stubbornly held to the fruit and looked around at the other goods offered by the abandoned store.]

I'll admit, perfectly good food left out for seemingly no reason screams trap to me as well, but we've been here more than an hour and nothing's tried to kill us, so I'd say that's a mark in the creepy abandoned town's favor.

[wolfuncaged]

They're basically the same, Anders.

[He has chosen this hill and he will die on it, rather than agree with Anders on this.]

It might be poisoned. Or have trackers in them. Or hallucinogens. There are many ways to lay a trap with food. It doesn't have to be obvious.

[apurrstate]

[Right...

He didn't respond. No, he'd take the high ground now that the line had been proverbial drawn.

The mature reaction.


He looked Fenris in the eye and took a big bite out of the pear.]

[wolfuncaged]

[He hates you. He hates you so much. You're the worst.

He stares at Anders for a moment, clearly deciding if he wants to punch him or not. ]

Fine. But if you drop, I'm not dragging you back to the ship.

[apurrstate]

[He turned away again, clearly far too pleased with himself as he went to inspect some of the other foods on the shelves.]

Fine with me. You'd probably drag me through the sand. And rocks.

[He picked up a box of what looked like colorful cereal of some kind, inspecting it.]

What do you suggest, then? Glaring at everything suspiciously until it caves to your intimidation?

[wolfuncaged]

Yes, that would be exactly where I would drag you.

I would rather not eat it at all, and try and uncover what is actually happening here.

[apurrstate]

[He put the box back and turned back to the elf, pear nearly finished now.]

First glance, I would say magic of some sort, which I'm sure would thrill you, but knowing the places we've been running into, it's probably something more science or machine based. I admit, I couldn't begin to speculate what.

[He shrugged.]

But, so far, everywhere has looked like this: a whole bunch of nothing to go on.

[wolfuncaged]

[He really means it, Anders- if you die you're staying here. He glares at the pear for a moment, before letting out a haughty sniff. ]

Just because nothing has happened yet, doesn't mean that it won't.
