WHO: anyone
WHERE: anywhere
WHEN: Day 9, morning through to late afternoon

[well there's still new landmarks to explore, new teammates (and new ragged individuals) to meet. occasional gunfire's been resounding through the woods sometimes, scaring birds up into the air and sending wandering pygmidillos in the meadow askitter.

what are you up to this fine day?]

[he cannot define monsters because he's very focused on the spaceships sorry]

--Ships as in spaceships? From outer space?

... yeah. Some kinda colonizin' thing that ended up going to hell for one reason or another.

[we are not talking about Knives because fuck that. fuck him.]

'Bout a century and a half ago.

[spaceships and a desert planet...its like Star Wars]

A century and a half isn't too long ago, all things considered. The information to create more plants would probably be on one of the ships somewhere...but I'm sure everyone already knows that. I hope it works out?

[the way he goes back to just smoking like it's giving him oxygen to live for a minute there probably gives away how bad it is.]

... dunno if y'know how much damage can happen to a ship crashin' through atmosphere it's not prepared for--I sure as hell don't.

They say someone managed to put the fleet on an emergency course, but who knows. Maybe they all just got lucky to get away with their lives and some plants instead of burnin' up. Most ships and tech too damaged and used for scrap. Some even just became settlements.

But plants die. Populations scatter. Overburden plants of other places... it's been the way of it since.

[it does. it does tell him how bad it is, a bit.]

...Yeah. When resources are limited, that's how it ends up. You might almost be better off with dungeons, even with the monsters.

Either way, only reason I'm sayin' anythin' is 'cause it can get annoyin' when Earth or Earth-like folk expect me to know things I can't possibly know.

Does that happen a lot? It's only been a week.

Literally surrounded by things I've never seen before.

So yeah. It happens a lot.

[YOU THINK WE GOT GRASS ON GUNSMOKE??? HA.]

Maybe you can just tell them you're an alien and they'll get it.

Just 'cause I'm from a different planet doesn't mean I'm less human.

Like I said, annoyin'. Just stickin' with "from a desert planet and it's rough".

Being an alien just means you're from a different world, it has nothing to do with whether or not you're human. You should watch Star Wars. I bet they have that movie in the theater, it's pretty popular.

[if they are For Reals looking for fishing poles then they're at lily's fence and Yoojin just. shamelessly hops the fence and heads for the barn]

[he's not looking for fishing poles. he's looking for crashing super hard. illusions helping him look not as exhausted as he feels, eeeey.]

Got Better things to do.

[styx have you slept yet,]

Like what? There isn't that much to do around here, is there?

[hell no. the nightmares as punishment are especially hellish, but hey, last day of that!]

Just got done with gettin' the stuff Red wanted, so gotta give Minuet back his gun, make sure Lily's situated. Thistle did laundry, so that's probably not an issue...

[mutter mutter he'd have lists but brain tired.]

[oh my god go to bed

that said, Yoojin is meandering around the barn until he spots a net and some fishing hooks. it's not a fishing pole but it'll do]

Lily's fine or they'd have called you. Why's Thistle doing your laundry?

Trade. Lily's also had limbs that vanish on 'em for a couple've days. Seems fixed now, but pile of bloody and hole-ridden white clothes was a pain to deal with like that.

D-do any of you have more clothes or. Not white clothes. In case that happens again.

We got other clothes, but color's pre-chosen for us. Browns n' grays are about as dark as it gets.

Got my old black suit, at least...

Black sounds better for this environment in general. Grass stains are terrible to get out of white clothes.

We deal with it.

Have fun fishin'.

[waits a beat to see if styx is coming with him, and scoops up all of the fishing stuff when he doesn't move]

Thanks. I'll return this later. Good luck with your list.

Yep.

[nah, he's gonna fucking crash and hopefully stay unconscious. probably won't, but whatever.]

--if ya see Bluebell's shepherd, tell him I'll get him his stuff back later. Consider it payment for borrowin' the fishin' gear.

[good, go to sleep young man

yoojin misses half a step, surprised at being addressed one last time; raises a hand and gives a wave of acknowledgement]

...I'll let him know. I doubt he minds the wait.

Nah, he'll get it.

[and now he's going to his room. bye.]

[you're coming fishing with me next time and that's a threat]
