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!

[... ... ... 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...]

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?

[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: ([♀] prepped and ready)

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.

[...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.
