day 26 late afternoon

[fishfearme]

[The relentless passage of time continues which means it's time to fish.

Chronos can be found standing in the shallows of the lake, his trousers rolled up to his knees and his cloak... um... pulled over his head with his hands gripping it to keep it in place, looking like some weird, mysterious creature under the glare of the setting sun - or a black heron.

The reason why he was doing this will become clear enough, because after standing very still for several long moments, he'll suddenly explode into motion! One unlucky fish that decided to use the shade his cloak cast will be abruptly scooped up and flung out towards the shore, much like how the bears smack salmon out of the water!

If you're standing on the shore, uh, watch out?]

[what if she CATCHES THE FISH IN HER TEETH]

[fishfearme]

[EXCUSE??? THAT'S HIS?!?!?]

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[wants_the_phd]

[Chewing, holding up the fish that has a nice clean bite taken out of it like an apple]

Sorry, is this yours?

[ melody is watching in interest and then!! fish!!! ]

My, you're quite talented!

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[fishfearme]

Oh.

[He lowered his cloak, realising he had company. He began wading over.]

Thank you, but that's nothing special. Shade-hunting is an easy way to catch fish.

[If you had quick reflexes akin to a predator, that is.]

[axingnicely]

[ melody gently herd the fish away from the water because it's still flopping. she does not seem to mind getting fishy hands ]

Truly? I've only ever seen something like that on televisoin...

[ His mistake was stopping to pause and watch. He is really unsure what he is doing. But suddenly, he moves. And when he moves a fish goes flying toward the shoreline--

--And smacks him straight in the face, knocking him over.]

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[fishfearme]

[KO!!!!]

Ah-! I'm sorry...!

[Quickly wading over to see if he accidentally killed a man via fish]

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Just. Lying there on the bank as the fish flops nearby. ]

I just saw my life flash before my eyes... and it smells like fish.

[ It's okay, he was standing by the shore but also had an idea that something like this would happen. Crois takes a step back as the fish lands on the shore, then claps his hands. ]

Nice one, amigo!

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[fishfearme]

[He startles a little, having not noticed an observer, but wades back to shore towards Crois - and his fish.]

Oh, um, thank you. One moment-

[Just, stooping down to snatch that fish up before it flops back to freedom.]

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[afineknight]

[ listen, sometimes u gotta sneak around zombies—

He laughs softly, nodding. ]

Of course. You wouldn't want it to get away after all your hard work.

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[What is that weird mysterious creature, is it a new horrible maneater for the list of things to watch out fo- WHOOPS NOPE THAT'S JUST SOME DUDE AND. AND THIS IS A FISH.

It is a fish that Cacophonie is now holding gingerly at arm's length because what else is one supposed to do after a fish comes flying at u but catch it.]

[fishfearme]

[Chronos wades back to shore, a little surprised to see that someone has caught his fish but appreciative, regardless. Made sure it didn't flop back to freedom while Chronos tried to catch up to it.]

Ah, thank you for catching that. You have good reflex.

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[electricflock]

Chp? Chrp?

[a dog-sized gryphon is watching him... then folding its wings over its head to copy the TECHNIQUE]

Re: day 26 late afternoon

[fishfearme]

[Chronos lowered his arms at hearing the chirp, and spotting some... bird creature mimicking him. Oh, huh.]

Are you trying to learn shade-fishing? Here.

[Again, he lifted up his arms, using his cloak to make the perfect umbrella shade for fish to gather under, and to eliminate the distorting effect that light had upon a water's surface. He's trying to demonstrate for the bird-creature!]

[if you are near Lily you can probably catch Charon fucking around near the firepit outside in the morning of day 27, with some leftover cleaned gator bone, a scister beak and bones, leather, a bucket of water at a low boil, and a crude cloth sieve.

if your name is Lethe specifically he's catching you somewhere indoors in the barn, though]

[mykidisthebest]

[Lethe can be found: in the kitchen! he's been making vegetable oil on and off, just to give them a big supply to last a while. he stops when Charon walks in, though]

Morning, Charon.

[endsjustified]

Good morning, Lethe. May I steal you from that task awhile?

[it's at least not incoming disaster vibes this time. they both know the incoming disasters are on schedule...for now]

[fishfearme]

[He senses a Lily Doing Something so has come to investigate.]

Shepherd, do you require assistance?

[endsjustified]

Hm? Oh, no, it's fine; good morning, Chronos. I'm just putting together a better knife, while I've the time.

[wants_the_phd]

[A small creature is watching you curiously from outside the Lily fence, trying not to draw any attention to itself.]

[endsjustified]

[living with multiple cryptids who like to watch people sleep has given him an extremely honed sense of picking up when he might be being Observed

he doesn't immediately let on when he notices, though! it looks like he is boiling the hell out of some of those metal bones in the strainer, and then fishing them out of the water to spread out and mold like clay once they've cooled a bit, with the air of someone who isn't quite sure what they're doing but is determined to figure it out]

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[Cacophonie can be found in the library in the evening~ungodly hours of the night, reading... sheep books. There's unsheeped books in this library now, but he's still reading the sheep books. They're relevant, okok. And maybe they're actually pretty interesting since he seems... fairly absorbed?]
