Who: People
Where: Near the lake!
When: Day 125, afternoon
What: BAMBOO INVESTIGATIONS. Can we use it? Can we eat it? Can we... poke each other with it?

[One (1) Cepheus and one (1) Delphinus are by the lake, trying to avoid the leeches.]

They're a little small... I'm not sure what we can do with them.

Do you think anyone else has done stuff with it?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure. I would have to ask around.

[pulls one from the ground and inspects it]

Does this look edible to you?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

... ... ...Maybe? It doesn't look like it would make us sick... though we should probably test it first.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[offers it to you]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[...........takes it and puts it aside]

...No, thank you.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Someone has to try it.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

Why me?

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Because there's a greater chance in the future that you'll eat it than I will.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

It's not even cooked!

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Okay... pick up a few more and we can boil it or something.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...Alright.

[goes to do so /o/]

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[picks up another one.. and tentatively pokes you with it]

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[startles--and stumbles right into leech waters :')]

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

I didn't poke you that hard!

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

S-sorry! I was surprised!

[scrambling back out]

[lends you a hand and... tugs at one of the leeches on your arm]

My fault.

But they're not really that stiff.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

[ow.]

No... so no good for weapons or tools.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

So maybe it is food.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

It doesn't mean we can't make other things from it.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Like?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

Ah... well... maybe if we tied it together, or wove it somehow, we could make something from that? Maybe something a little like armour... I'm not sure how brittle it is though.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

Would you feel safe wearing this?

. . . but maybe. Uhm.

More baskets?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

We would need to experiment a little. We could try eating it first though.

[type_0.insanejournal.com]

[nods]

Do... you mind if we test it out in my dorm then?
