week one

[wagons]

ON THE TRAIL week one 25 characters remaining. It's May, 1842, and the trail ahead stretches as far as you can see. Your destination still seems like an even farther off dream with as slowly as the wagons go, but at least you have good company... Right? You're traveling through Missouri this week, and it seems like it will be a quiet trip. WEATHER Sunday: Hot Monday: Pleasant Tuesday: Pleasant Wednesday: Pleasant Thursday: Rain Friday: Rain Saturday: Fog This week, suggested activities include Hunting, Wagon Maintenance, and Cooking. On Tuesday, there will also be a chance to ford the Blue River. The river is shallow, and conditions are good. Good luck and safe travels! weekly rng graveyard RNG selections are due at 5PM EST on October 21st.

Hey, thanks!

[Kuranosuke shoots Arthur a smile and gladly lets him help figure out how to start the fire, because yeah, this whole "roughing it" thing really isn't part of his skill set. It's a good thing he's not a Fire Emblem character because he'd pass on some really crappy stats.]

You know how to do a lot of really useful things, huh.

[It's okay, Kuranosuke, stay fabulous and that's good enough, that is an important skill. Regardless, Arthur's quick to sort the fire out, dashing a rock neatly against another, creating a spark and lighting the fire rather neatly. Having to do it every single evening when he was with Fee, and then again with the FE Army Trekking Across the World makes him pretty practiced at it.

Though he rubs the back of his head at that.]

Ha ha, I'm not so sure about that... [He hasn't been all that useful, especially sans magic.] But at least I'm used to camping out like this.

[Hmm.]

What do we have to cook, anyway?

[boyprincess]

...

[This is the face of someone who doesn't actually know.]

I dunno, but step one of cooking out on the trail is building a campfire, yeah?

[how has no one in this wagon died yet... I will be astonished if they make it to week 3 without someone dying]

[offspring]

[... ... ... why did he even expect otherwise.]

Well... has anyone caught any fresh game? I suppose we could make a vegetable stew if we can find some fresh produce too...

[Who's been hunting and gathering anyway...]

[boyprincess]

I think a couple of people were going out to hunt.

[yEAH AND THEY. DIED. shit that's next week disregard that]

Maybe there's a rabbit somewhere nearby?

[offspring]

[THE PERILS OF HUNTING TRIPS]

A rabbit, huh...

[hmmm.]

Probably not right around here, since we've been making so much noise. [BUT MAYBE???] We might be able to find something, though.

...You really aren't used to this sort of thing, are you?

[boyprincess]

If I wanted meat back home, I'd just go to the supermarket. [More like he'd send someone to go to the supermarket...] Or go out to eat.

I've never had to cook it before. It's actually kind of... [...] Interesting.

[offspring]

[...Super...market...]

I've never heard of that.

[???]

But I suppose it is. We usually traded shifts on the march, but I don't mind trading off with Canute, since it seems like he knows what he's doing too.
