The Warped (2nd Party)

[Shinzuu Katame: Her Tolfy]

Moon noticed Max returning and went over to the deer that she had brought over and picked it up with her neck, laying it in front of Max. She snorted and walked away, the look on her face saying, "Eat this one, idiot." Moon headed back over to the rotting behemoth and ate the rest of it, sighing in relief, but not in the way someone who ate too much would.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance just smiled warmly when Macid was being sympathetic to her. When he suggested to go to the others she nodded. "Okay." she said softly. When he got up and offered his hand to help him up she took it to get to her feet. "Thanks." she said. After standing up she put and arm around his shoulder for support and started walking with him to the others. She saw Moon give a strange looking deer to Max and go back to eating the behemoth. "Is that thing even safe to eat? I'm sure it's rotten by now..." she thought to herself.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid walked slow with Constance as they made their way towards the others. He put his arm around her waist to try and help support her as they did so. When they finally arrived, he noticed Moon eating the Behemoth, while Mortis and Max were sitting down watching. He gently let go of Constance, letting her sit as he looked at the flowered deer that had appeared, and then the patch of dead grass. "What happened there? And where did this deer come from? Is it ok to eat? Max, did you try some already?" Gosh, we're alone for 5 minutes and all this happens. His curiosity got the better of him and he made his way over to the purple spot of grass to inspect it. He wasn't so curious, nor stupid, to touch it, but merely looked from a close safe distance, momentarily forgetting about his hunger.

max looked back at moon blankly, wanting to ague with her moon about the way she acted but wasn't feeling well enough to bother. he heard macid and constance walk over and looked up at them with a slight green tint to his scales from the light. he smirked weakly as macid asked about the food. "looks like the deer's good, the behemoth is fine to eat if you have constipation....otherwise i wouldn't recommend eating it." he sat there still feeling like his stomach was eating itself.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis looked up from her book momentarily and crammed it into her bag when the others returned. "They're both from Moon. Don't touch the grass or that tree, though. Its poisonous." She moved over to the deer when they began to talk about it. "I think it should be alright to eat. Max, you should cut it up and we should cook what we can and eat before we get going. I feel like I'm going to starve." The chameleon patted her belly as she thought about eating the deer. "Though we should probably do it quickly. Who knows when someone might pass by."

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance sat down after Macid let go of her and look at the the purple stuff Macid was looking at. When Mortis mentioned it was poisonous she grew curious. Though her hunger pushed her curiosity aside when Mortis mentioned food. "Food does sound nice...I know I'm hungry. And Macid has been trying to hide it. Do you know how to smoke meat, Max? Maybe we can get some for the road." she said. She looked at Mortis afterwards, there was no change in her facial expression but she felt a little irked deep down that she was giving orders.

Upon hearing that the grass was poisonous and came from Moon, Macid backed away and headed back towards the group, his stomach growling very loudly. When he made his way over to the group, he sat down next to Constance, just in time to hear her ask Max aboust smoking meat. He said nothing and looked at the deer. The flowers on his antlers reminded him of a book Filadius once had him read on mythical creatures. Dryads were supposed to be protectors of the forest, with dominance over nature and able to call on the animals of the wild to assist them in battle or other dutys. While the picture in the book was of a 2 legged creature, it did say that often times they would disguise themselves as woodland animals to hide from would be hunters. He looked over at Moon, still eating at the behemoth, to try and make himself feel safe from the possible wrath of other dryads and made a mental note to ask Filadius about them next time he appeared.

max looked up at the others blankly. feeling the urge to tell them where to shove their dear. "Ramsey's over their, knock yourselves out." he fell onto his side and looking in his reflection on Ramsey's side " if you cut it up I'll tell you about how to smoke it." he sighed forcing himself back up, "if you bring Ramsey over here i'll try to cut it up, but no promises." he Lent against the tree feeling his stomach settle to the point where he made it to his feet, still uneasy and like he was still going to vomit.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis sighed and walked over to Ramsey, looking at it. "I dunno. I don't feel right using your weapon, even if it's not from combat. It would be like you using my book." Nevertheless, she pulled it out of the ground and brought it over to Max. "But that's just me. If the others want to use it, by all means, don't let me stop you." She said looking over her shoulder. She still wanted to get moving. She wasn't entirely sure why, she just had that urge. When she made sure Max had the sword, she wandered away from the group. She was within the line of sight of them, but she was scanning the area and pacing.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance stood up and went over to Ramsey when Mortis set it down. "I'll do it." she said grabbing it. She went over and got on her knees next to the deer and looked at it holding Ramsey. Her right hand, with Ramsey in it, started to shake as she stared at the deer. "Oh man...I can't cut this little guy up. He's so cute! AUGH WHY DID I SAY ANYTHING!? Come on...You can do this...It's dead...It's only purpose now is to nourish our bodies...Ugh...It's probably gonna smell. No. No one else is going to do it. So I have to, otherwise we'll starve. It's simple as that." she thought. She took a deep breath and looked over her shoulders to the others. "Macid, get the fire going again. Max, get over here and make sure I'm doing this right." she said a bit commandingly. "Please." She added in at the end. She turned back to the deer and pulled her robe over up over her nose and mouth. After that she started skinning the it. She was doing it sloppily since she wasn't used to handling Max's weapon.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid raised his eyebrow at Constance when she asked him to start the fire. The last time didn't go so well so he didn't know why he had to do it again. He got Anon out of his bag and set it down on the grass, got up and went to gather some sticks, not wanting to say anything to make her feel bad. He began to pick up sticks and put them in his bag until he had a nice amount and made his way back to the group. He noticed Mortis pacing by herself away from everyone else. "I hope she's allright. Maybe I told her too much. I'll leave her alone for now and ask her later." Back with the others, he saw how Constance was skinning the deer, quite sloppily at that. He wasn't quite used to seeing such actions and turned away quickly so he wouldn't hurl at the sight. He dumped the sticks out of the bag and picked the stragglers clinging to the inside before piling them up for a small fire. He knew he wouldn't be able to get it started so he asked for Max without turning around. "Hey, uhm, Max? When you have a second, can you show me how you start a fire? I don't know how."

[serpington]

max smiled and thanked mortis as she walked away, turning back to Ramsey when constance picked him up. he saw her expression and sat down on the other side of the deer. "this is why i wasn't going to get you to help. it's a gross job if your not used to it." he gently grabbed back of the blade too steady it. "try putting your other hand here to help guide the cutting edge." he stood up and walked over to macid once he had set up the wood and pulled out the flint. he started to use it, showing macid how to do it before stopping and handing him the flint. "just watch your fingers, that thing hurts."

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance nodded when Max instructed her. "Yeah...Someone has to do it though..." Her cuts became slightly better as she used both hands. She soon skinned the whole side of the deer and started cutting off strips of the meat. After she had a few she stopped and looked at Max. "Now what? Do we have to skewer them or something?" she asked. She figured it had to be something, because she wasn't going to cook with her hands.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid watched and listened intently to Max as he showed him how to use the flint to start a fire. When Max gave it to him, he thanked him and began working on the pile of sticks. Several minutes went by as he struck the flint, sending red hot sparks flying away from him. He missed once and struck his thumb, dropping the flint and sputtering in pain. "Aughfffffffffffffffffff. Gah, jesus." His thumb was throbbing, but he picked up the flint and carefully continued. Finally, he was able to get the small pile to light and smiled as he watched the flame slowly grow. As the fire grew bigger and bigger, he quickly realized that he did not bring nearly enough sticks to cook with and ran to go find some more, dropping the flint next to Max and Constance before he left. "WatchthefireIneedmorewoodberightback!"

[serpington]

"hmm. if we wanted to just cook the meat we could posibly yes Ramsey as an improvised hotplate, and your dagger could skewer some but come to think about it i don't know how we would go about smoking it Indra these conditions." max smiled lightly when macid hurt himself, just knowing that he wasn't the only one to hurt himself starting a fire, when macid ran passed he picked up the flint and putt it away till it was needed again.
