Who: Mitsuru, Syaoran, Lizard McDeadcarcass, anyone
Where: Outside the cave entrance
When: Day 145, late morning
What: science experiments and meat! a winning combo!

[Two (slightly bloodied up) boys coming out of the caves after having snuck off at ridiculous o'clock in the morning today -- victorious! They've got themselves a nice little fatty lizard which is floating on home behind them courtesy of some wind magic. Which creates a mini hurricane of wind for anyone nearby when it's released. WHHHOOOOOSH.]

How many strips will we need?

Let me clean this up- [Nods toward the bowl and bloody water and cloth.] -and we can get started. I'll bring a knife for you, too.

[Heads inside to clean up, then. \o\]

[ I am just going to flex that injured arm and explore those bruised ribs while you're gone. ]

[Back! With two knives.]

Here.

Thanks.

[ takes the knife, is very comfortable with it. ]

[Wwwwwatching that. :|a]

...have you considered the possibility that you might have been able to fight before you woke up here?

Three direct hits on the eyes of a moving target while on the run, using nothing more than rocks... that's not a simple thing.

. . . it's too easy. I wonder if it means that I've done something really awful. . . before. . .

[ shakes her head ]

I don't know.

[identity profile] byallmeans.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
You don't know what counts as "really awful?" Or you don't know what you did?

[identity profile] ambidexterity.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
. . . if it had been a person, and not a bird, it would have been really easy . . . to just . . . [ she trails off. ] And when I could have run, I didn't.

But I don't know, maybe . . . I'll remember why.

...not running isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you have the power to protect yourself, you should. Especially against something like that.

[identity profile] ambidexterity.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
And it wasn't enough, in the end.

[identity profile] byallmeans.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
If it comes back, we'll deal with it then.

[identity profile] ambidexterity.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . It might. Mm, we will have to.

[identity profile] byallmeans.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
If it comes to that, though, remember that you have a team.

Nebula can fight, and so can I. You don't have to handle it on your own.

[identity profile] ambidexterity.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . I will. And I'll be better prepared. . .

[identity profile] byallmeans.insanejournal.com 2010-07-04 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
...mm. That might not be a bad idea.

You should take one of the knives and practice throwing with it. With that kind of aim, you might be able to take down the smaller lizards that live near the lake.

[ nods ]

I'll try, and maybe it will work out well. . .
