Main Cabin
"But there are girls here you can meet! Lots of them!" Lily says.
((Sorry for the delay. Muse packed up on me for a few days. >.<))
[Infirmary]
Quinn frowns, appling a Lay On Hands to the bumps and lumps...then frowns more.
"Do you have any idea who did this to you?"
===
"Not much. I've got a little brother now though!" Jamie grins. "What happened to your hoodie?"
Main Cabin
"Really? Little girls your age or grown up girls?" Justin asks.
[Infirmary]
Yuki frowns and shakes her head.
"I don't even remember it happening. I just remember walking through the woods."
Even waking up on the ground was a bit blurry. Frustrated her hands curl up into fists and she looks down at the ground.
Marty's Cabin
The rather shy young man finally pops out of his cabin. He hadn't really gone out much since his surgery and the discovery of more of those strange cuts across his wrist. Marty shyly walks out into the sunlight and heads over to the old picnic spot he had, overlooking the water.
Main Cabin
"Sophie and Kate, but Vidalia is mean. Got it." Justin sort of expected it. He knew she probably wouldn't have a list of girls his age. "Maybe I will ask one of them out, but let's put romantic plans on hold for a bit."
Main Cabin
Lily pouts. "That's no fun!"
Brand laughs. "Don't worry, punkin. Justin will find someone when he's ready. Do you need another sandwich?" He asks Justin.
"Can I have a sandwich?" Lily asks.
"You can go and make your own. You've been playing all morning," Pansy says. "And since Tito is working, you can make one for him too."
Lily starts to whine, but when she sees Tito perk up, she realizes that making two sandwiches really is the better end of the deal compared to peeling potatoes for an hour and slinks off to the kitchen.
[Infirmary - Jamie]
Alysha's eyes widen and her mouth forms one of the largest smiles she's had to date. She gives a squeal of glee and jumps in place.
Obviously, she excited about this new development.
A little brother? That's awesome! What's his name? How old is he? Is he here? Can I see him?
At the question, Alysha seems confused for a brief moment. She looks down at herself, thinks, then snaps her fingers as she remembers.
That's right! I rented a room in Trog's so Yuki could take a shower and I could try to wash her clothes, which didn't work out that well, and I must have left my hoodie there!
Main Cabin
"No, that one was plenty, and delicious. Thank you, both," Justin thanks Brand for asking and Pansy for making it. "That got a little sidetracked by Lily's love bug, but learning to cook isn't a bad idea. Would one of you be willing teach me?"
Main Cabin
All three halflings in the room answer at once - variants of 'Yes, of course'. "You can stop by any time. One of us is almost always in the kitchen," Brand says. Then after some consideration. "Did you ever find a place to stay? You know you're always welcome here."
Main Cabin
"Thank you. And yeah, I found a half-decent place in Inside. It's not a traditional home, but it has what I need. I just cleaned it up, actually."
Main Cabin
"Oh that's wonderful!" Pansy says. "Do you need any help getting set up? Is your larder stocked?"
Main Cabin
"Not unless one of you knows how to fix a floor buffer," Justin jokes. He stops for a second to guess the definition of larder. Larder, fat, grease. Stocked. Food stores, maybe? "I don't need much of a larder. It's just me, and I eat day by day anyway."
Main Cabin
"Until Lily finds you a girlfriend," Brand quips. "It's always good to have some food stores, in case there's a storm or something that keeps you from getting out. But I'm afraid I've never heard of a floor buffer. Is that like a mop? If you need cleaning up done, I've got a pair of little monkeys here who will do good work and take ice cream in wages."
"Sure! We can help out," Tito says. "It has to be the good ice cream though, with the nuts and bananas and stuff."
Main Cabin
"I've got an emergency stash for if I can't get food," Justin says patting his ever present yet seldom remembered dufflebag. Aside from the bags of various objects, treasure, and cash, he's got more than enough candy, chips and soda to last him. "A floor buffer is sort of like a mop, don't worry about it. I could use some helping hands, though. Does Dana's Place count as the good stuff?"
Lucy quickly shakes her head in response, clarifying with an apologetic tone.
"My apologies, my vernacular is much improper for these times. I was referring to the act of exploration, not to guided tours."
Smiling, again apologetic, Lucy's eyes brighten in realisation. Quizzically, the living-impaired nurse continues.
"The local coin is named Gold? Great heights, I did not even think of that. Luck be with me that I could pay at the Tavern with Dollars."
Main Cabin
"Day after tomorrow, sometime I won't make them miss too many meals." It's so much easier on the three meal system. "We'll see what we can get done, and then Dana's. Heh. It might involve ice cream, but I feel a little bad making plans behind Lily's back."
Rowan Cabin
A half gold dragon walks up to Rowan cabin and knocks on the door. The residents of the house don't know any gold dragons... or rather they didn't until about midnight last night when Kate was turned into one. Kate is here to see Julie and unwind after waking up a half-dragon and then hunting down the thing that did it and vaporizing it with a laser.
Copi is off somewhere else right now. Not sure where.
Main Cabin
"Don't worry, I'll pack meals for them. We can't expect you to feed our brood," Pansy says.
Lily returns with the sandwiches for her and her brother. "Plans for what behind my back?"
Tito takes a huge bite out of his sandwich and talks with his mouth full. "We're going to help Justin clean his new place and then he's going to take us to Dana's!"
Lily jumps up and down and claps. "Yay!"
Elsewhere
A plot clone of Brand is looking for Reelshka.
[Mushroom Cellar]
Brand can find Reelshka there, sitting inside and scribbling something on her notepad.
[Maple Cabin]
Valaira is kissed! Valaira is pleased about being kissed! And afterward Valaira is, last but not least, unresponsive. Totally unresponsive.
Valaira? Valaaaaira? Yoo-hoo? Anybody home? Yep! She's out of it! O-u-t out! Wait! She's trying to say something!
"So... We kissed. I'll answer your question and..."
"Then we're supposed to...kiss again? Wait..."
Valaria flips through a book on relationships that has materialized out of thin air and skims through a passage or two.
"..."
"Really? Huh! I wouldn't have guessed that!"
"Anywaaay, I purchased it from this guy at the docks. It doesn't do anything bad to the body, so we decided not to take the guy's suppliers down."
"That good enough? If that's good enough, the book says we need to kiss again now."
Valaira holds the book aloft, pointing to a section highlighted in yellow written about prolonged dating and reuniting after a long period of time.
Rowan Cabin
Julie opens the door, having been expecting Kate to show up, and half expecting some kind of Nexus weirdness to have followed her, but nothing this bad.
The glowing hair still gives it away as Kate though, and the fashion sense, "Right, so you're the chosen one of an ancient race of flying lizardpeople and must avenge them of their curse of undeath, somehow?" Her first guess, while horribly outlandish, is completely in line with what she knows about Kate's life so far. This has just gotten to the point of lunacy now.
Rowan Cabin
"Nope, while I was sleeping last night a Kami, some kind of spirit, manifested after drawing energy from all the madness that has happened to me and turned me into a half-dragon and my roommate into a Grig. On a completely unrelated angle, I have been notified that I'm a high priestess."
Now the question is, does this make more or less sense than what Julie guessed?
Rowan Cabin
"Well if it's unrelated then I suppose it's okay. Come on in Kate, I've got something for you that is exactly related to this crap." She heads straight for her bedroom, stopping for nothing along the way and expecting Kate to follow her.
Rowan Cabin
Julie will probably notice (or suspect) that Kate is wearing clothes changed to allow a tail and wings. Which implies that she got her hands on these somehow?
In any case, Kate follows with some confusion. She's not sure what Julie would have that fits the situation so well, but she isn't the sort to say that things are connected when they aren't.
Zero raises his eye brows at the book but attempts to kiss Valaria anyway.
I really missed you.
