[okay scorpio, it is time to be really sad.

and also it is time for us to try to pull ourselves back together.]

[pchaaair]

[yep :(]

If-- you don't need help, then, that's fine, but, I thought I might as well ask, anyway.

[byallmeans]

[...hands over some wood and some rock.]

No- you're right. It'll get done faster.

[pchaaair]

[takes it '^'a]

Thanks.

[g-gets to work, then, making sure to watch mitsuru so that he can do the same thing]

[byallmeans]

[He is actually pretty clumsy at it; he has seen someone do it and is trying it the first time, himself. He's chipping the rocks to points and testing for sharpness against the ball of his thumb.]

[He's a lot better with the wood, maybe having practiced carving before, but he's using the knife o shape a passable spear shaft. When he's done, he slices off some of the rope and unravels it a ways to take twine to bind it together.]

[pchaaair]

[:|a...

well, at least we can be newbies at this together or something. even if it's pretty clumsy with both the rocks and the wood on tavros's end.]

[byallmeans]

[And hopefully with some time and effort, we will have two fishing spears... even if they are not-so-great ones.]

[pchaaair]

[it's still something!]

I'd say, we could go test them, but... it's not safe to do that.

[byallmeans]

Probably not.

[But I am tempted to say let's go anyway. :|a]

[pchaaair]

[rubs his face. . .]

Maybe if, we just stay close to Scorpio, we could.

[byallmeans]

[Do we really want to risk leaving the two despondent people alone here, though? Choices, choices.]

...maybe we should all go.

[pchaaair]

... Maybe. The distraction... could be, kind of nice. For as much as nice can be, right now.

[byallmeans]

...I owe Cheer fishing lessons, anyway. Now's as good a time as any, I guess.

Let's make two more before we leave, though.

[pchaaair]

[nods, and gets to work on that again, then.]

[byallmeans]

[Badly-made fishing spears, part two!]

[pchaaair]

[yeah!!!]

There.

[byallmeans]

Mm. Are you ready?

[pchaaair]

I am. Let's go.

[byallmeans]

[Let's collect the others. :|b]

[pchaaair]

[Yep, let's do this. :|b]

[byallmeans]

[ONWARD. TO FISH!]

While we're out here, keep an eye out for spiny berries.

[pchaaair]

Spiny berries?

[byallmeans]

We had them in the east block. They put you to sleep if you ate them.

[pchaaair]

... We had something, kind of like that in Aather. If you see any grapefruit, that is floating, that could work, too.

[byallmeans]

Floating grapefruit?

...well, that shouldn't be hard to miss.

[pchaaair]

They're not. And, we have a lot of weird things, like that.
