The Warped (2nd Party)

[Srgntcuddles]

"I suppose it's just a big meal then. Hopefully it will hold us over." Constance said when Max said they couldn't smoke it. When Macid ran over dropping the flint she looked at him curiously. She was oblivious to him having hurt himself. "Uhm...I suppose we wait for him to get some more wood." she said resting her paws on her legs. "So...You're a chef then? How long have you been in that line of work?" she asked to pass the time.

Macid quickly picked up whatever wood he could carry and brought it back to his dwindling fire. His thumb was still throbbing, but was had numbed enough so that the pain wasn't as bad. He threw all he had on it and watched as it slowly grew again. He continued this for about 5 minutes before he had a nice supply of wood and the fire was going strong. His arms and legs hurt from doing so much running back and forth, and with his growling stomach, began to feel a churning sensation in his stomach. He lurched as he hunched over and threw up a small amount of bile. He panted heavily as he wiped his face clean and turned towards the others. "Can we eat now? Please?"

"to be honest i don't really know, from what i heard both my parents were high class chefs, but my dad stopped when my mother died....after that he lost all his passion for cooking, my brothers taught me what they could before....well everyone called it 'the April of blood and tears'. after that i just stuck to what was in my blood." he never looked up from the deer while speaking to constance, only looking up when he heard macid throw up."Can we eat now? Please?" "I'll start cooking. if i do it right it shouldn't take to long to have something for the two of you to eat." he gently took Ramsey back and sat a large stick under the far end of the blade and held him above the fire to heat up.

"I see..." said Constance acknowledging Max. "I'll go get Mortis." she said standing up. She decided to take the painkiller Max had given her before she started to hobble over there. As she went she looked at Moon. "I wonder if she would let me ride her now...? That would be so cool. Not to mention it would be a break from my dang foot...I should be less reckless. Why didn't we get a healer in our group or something?!" she thought as she got close enough for Mortis to hear her. "Hey, foods gonna start cooking. If you're hungry come on." she said, keeping it short. She didn't try and converse with her because she felt she didn't care to anyway.

Macid sat as patiently as he could while Max cooked the flanks of the deer Constance and him skinned. The aroma that emanated from the meat filled his nose and made his mouth water with anticipation. He began to fantasize about how good it would taste, to have hot food inside his stomach, and to be full once again. His stomach rumbling fiercely snapped him back to reality and whimpered softly as he held his stomach with his hands. He brought his eyes away from the meat for a second to look around the landscape. Nothing caught his attention, but a thought crept up into his mind. "What if someone or something sees our fire, or smells our cooking?" He looked around a bit more frantic this time, making sure no-one was around except them. Again, his stomach brought his attention to the meat. "*whining noise* Is it done yet? I feel like I'm going to collapse from hunger."

[serpington]

max started cooking the meat, looking around between checking the pieces and moving them with a Long stick which he would use to turn them every now and then to cook it through. he moved to more cooked pieces closer to the tip which was further from the fire and closer to macid. max looked over to constance and mortis  then back to macid when he spoke. " theres the thin piece on the end there is cooked for you. just be carefull getting it." he held Ramsey closer to macid so he could grab the piece.

Mortis ceased her pacing when Constance came up. She didn't respond to her verbally, she just nodded and followed. The smell of the food made her stomach remind her that she was indeed hungry. She came over by the fire and took a seat, her knees drawn up to her chest as she watched Max cook. She wondered how they were going to hold or eat the meat coming off the fire. It was going to be hot.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance went back with Mortis and sat down next to Macid Indian style watching Max cook. She sat there silently enjoying the smell of the meat. "Looks yummy...I wonder if he would teach me? Hmm...Well, I already learned to skin an animal..." she thought looking at her paws. "...I suppose I will just absorb what I've learned and ask him later..." she continued to think. Soon she stopped examining her paws and set them in her lap while she waited for the food.

Macid's mouth was watering as he eyed the piece of meat offered to him by Max. He used the pen of Anon to slip the piece of meat off and into his hand, promptly tossing it between both hands to try and cool it down. When it was cool enough, he bit into it and savored the flavor going down into his gullet. He ravashly ate the entire piece in a very short time, going at it like a wild animal would. He patted his stomach when he was finished and eyed the rest of the meat cooking. He wanted to take all the meat he could and devour it all, but knew the others had to eat as well. While he waited for his next piece, he took out Anon and flipped through the pages, wondering how to activate his new power.

[serpington]

max calmly kept tending to the meat, looking around he saw something that could be usefull. "hay macid, think i can trust you to hold Ramsey up and not eat everything for a sec?" he joked moving Ramsey so he wasn't over the fire but was still resting on the log, the meat almost completely cooked. once he handed Ramsey to one of the others he walked over to one of the trees and pulled off a large piece of the bark. he walked back over to the fire and started to burn the inside till it was all black, and started to move the meat onto it to cool. "OK guys, dig in, I'll be back in a sec i just need to put Ramsey aside to cool."

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance didn't wait to dig into the food, she was hungry, too. She bit one of the pieces of meat in half before devouring the rest. Her second piece was eaten with a bit more finesse, however. "Mmm. Delicious." she said savoring the flavor of this piece. "Could use a little salt though..." she thought. She was happy that they could have something in their stomachs for the road ahead.

[Ares the Ram]

Macid grabbed Ramsey and held it up as best he could while Max went to get his bark. When he got back and moved the rest of the meat on it, Macid handed Ramsey back to Max and took another piece of meat and chowed down. He ate with as much fervor as last time, still excited to have some good food to eat. He watched as Constance bit a piece in half and finish the rest. He finished chewing before he spoke to her. "Gee Constance, you're going at it like a wild animal." Macid began to smile from ear to ear as he ate and laughed slightly at Constance's appetite. The combination of letting out his emotions to Mortis and Constance and the feeling of being with friends and almost hanging out with them made him feel happier than he had ever been.

[serpington]

max walked over to what was left of the dead behemoth and stabbed Ramsey into it's head to cool, smirking as a form of revenge for making him sick after he killed it for attacking the group. he walked back to the group and sat down, grabbing a piece of meat and bit into it, ripping a chunk off and swallowing it. he grabbed another piece and held it up for mortis. "it's cool enough to eat, and i know you must be hungry." he took another bite of his piece, never looking up from the ground after sitting down.

[Goblin Cat 😸]

Mortis took the piece of meat from Max and ate it alongside the others. While it wasn't seasoned like things she had back at home, she still enjoyed it as it was like eating what she liked to call "real food." She kind of snickered to herself thinking about how when she got a cooked meal in college it was called "real food" as if everything else was a joke or something. "Thanks, Max." She said gratefully as she savored the flavor of the meat.

[Srgntcuddles]

Constance was half way through her second piece when Macid made his comment. She looked at him angrily blushing. "Look who's talking." she said back punching him in the shoulder playfully. She continued gnawing on her piece up until Mortis thanked Max. "Yeah, thanks, Max. It's good." she said. After that she gobbled up the rest of her piece, deciding against grabbing another. She just sat silently and stared into the fire.
