Who: Sora
Broadcast: Open
Action: Planetside
When: During the day.


[Sora is an islander, and because of that he's not really equipped to deal with snow. He seems to have found a couple of jackets and a beanie that makes his hair stick out in odd ends and is tolerating it for now. Despite the cold, he seems pretty excited by being in this world, buzzing with a kind of pleasant energy.]


I found out we can go hunting here! Who wants to go with me to hunt a big animal? Oh, maybe a bear?! If they even have bears here.

Are bears a thing here?

I mean it, though! It would be a ton of fun, living off the land, seeking out a nice big haul for the people here, selling it and making everyone happy! I just....

Uh... I might need a bit of help making sure I don't freeze to death? So who wants to go??

[Aww, that's precious. She'd been planning on taking a hunting trip anyway, just to keep herself occupied for a while, so keeping a small child alive feels like a slightly more noble goal.]

Sure, I'll go. Ever gone hunting before?

[keythatconnects]

Mostly I've just hunted monsters. Never animals for food before.

I really want to try!

[necromanswers]

Well, if you want to hunt for food, bear might not be your best option. They can be kinda gamey and the flavour's not consistent when you cook it. Definitely more of a challenge than deer, though!

[keythatconnects]

I could probably start with a deer, if it would make people happier.

[necromanswers]

Is that your main motivation for the trip? Making people happy?

[Because it sort of sounded like he wanted to have fun, first and foremost, and the nature of the hunt can change depending on what he's after.]

[keythatconnects]

Sure, but it sounds like a lot of fun too, right?

[necromanswers]

Yeah, that's why I'm asking you, goofus. If you just want to be a people-pleaser then you'll probably have fun no matter what your target is. So sure, let's go bag a deer.

Where'd you like to meet?

[keythatconnects]

Town square sounds good to me.

I'll bring some snacks too!

[worn_wings]

...You ever hunt a bear before?

[ why does he feel like this is a disaster waiting to happen... ]

[keythatconnects]

To be honest? No...

Most of the stuff I've hunted are giant monsters. A bear can't be worse than that, can it?

[worn_wings]

Can't say. M

Bear's more of a trophy thing. Better things to eat,

[keythatconnects]

I heard!

Someone mentioned that deer is better. Do you think that would be better? Or should I try something else?

[worn_wings]

Deer's good eatin'. If they got 'em on this planet.

[keythatconnects]

Yeah that really is what it comes down to, right? There might be something totally different here! Who knows? That's one of the cool things about worlds like this.

Though... uh... I guess we could ask one of the locals?

[worn_wings]

Probably oughta. Make sure you don't hunt the locals by accident.

[keythatconnects]

Oh, that would be awful! If I get the info, will you help me with the hunt?

[tough_love]

Were this any other planet, I would be happy to accompany you. But I hate the ice and cold.

[There's been exactly one person she'd ever been willing to venture out into it for, and Sora's not him.

Curiously, rather than ask if he even knew what he was doing, Looma's just moving right along and giving Sora the benefit of the doubt. Mostly.]

Show me what you intend to hunt the beast with.

[She can at least make sure he's properly equipped. The weapon's her main concern for now though- being warm won't help him any if he picks a fight with a bear and lacks the ability to actually hurt it.]

[keythatconnects]

I get that, Captian. I'm from an island so the cold is really hard to get used to.

[He holds up a low powered weapon. Powerful enough to kill an animal, but less likely to backfire.] I bought this! One of the guys in town said it would be perfect for hunting.

[sandywolf]

Would it be alright to come in another form than human?

[Just checking first, let's not spook out the kids.]

[keythatconnects]

Oh yeah of course! I've been all kinds of forms, I wouldn't hold it against someone if they didn't want to be human for a bit.

[sandywolf]

That's a relief. I find it much easier to hunt as a wolf rather than as a human.

Where were you planning to start from?

[keythatconnects]

It's been a long time since I had four legs, but I know how much faster you can run with them, so I get it.

Meet you right outside of town? What kind of wolf should I look for?

[sandywolf]

Well, I am rather small and sandy-colored, with a white throat and black along my spine.

[So not only is the boy not scared, it seems he has some experience with changing forms. Interesting.]

You are not a werewolf yourself, are you?

[keythatconnects]

Oh, no. But I know a place that has a lot of werewolves!

I have changed my body a few times to fit into different worlds while I travel. One time, I was a lion so I could visit my friend Simba. He was also a lion.

[sandywolf]

You are not a werewolf, but you can change shapes?

... Are you a skin-stealer?

[It's kind of rude of him to ask that way, but he also isn't sure the kid is familiar with the term anyway.]
