You sure know how to greet a guy and make him feel welcome.

[ the weasel chitters again and does a little lazy jump roll past the bucket and down the dock. she's enjoying herself. ]

So. Ocean. That's something new.

[malewife]

[ Niah watches, then rests his head back to sunbathing. ]

We've been anticipating it for two days now.

[ In the is it really new way. ]

[senjinrouha]

Anticipating's one thing. Actually having it's another. At least that's a weight off the mind when it comes to food supplies.

[ for now. ]

[malewife]

Have you tried making jerky?

[ Since they were talking about salt before. ]

[senjinrouha]

Personally? No. I have an idea of how you make it though.

[ ... ]

Also I found flour.

[malewife]

And?

[ What about flour? ]

[senjinrouha]

[ …


give him strength. ]

Like the kind you can make other foods with? The kind of foods that aren’t in the middle of rotting?

[malewife]

[ THAT ISN'T WANT HE MEANT BY AND? Also, Joonghyuk should be given strength. ]

Yes, I know what flour is. I meant what did you do with it.

[senjinrouha]

[ no, yuri asked for it first. ]

Bread.

[ naturally. ]

[malewife]

That's ambitious.

[ Bread is actually very difficult? He's aware of that. ]

[senjinrouha]

If it can be made, it’ll be a good source of food. And if it goes a bit wrong, or the yeast is old, well… flatbread it is.

[ he shrugs. ]

I don’t think it’s any more or less difficult than sitting around fishing for hours.

[malewife]

[ The wording... ]

So you haven't made it?

[senjinrouha]

[ i can't tell you if the bread was successful when the pc is ongoing... a mystery ]

If I'd said "nothing" I'm sure that would've been a great conversation piece.

[malewife]

[ okay i ask for updates on bread later ]

You're using bread as a conversation topic. [ Nothing isn't too far off, too. ] Did you keep the bag?

[ Any flour left? ]

[senjinrouha]

I sifted it to get rid of anything that could be lurking in it. We got pretty lucky with that bag though. There should still be some in the containers at the hotel.

[malewife]

There are plenty of other things that can be made with flour, too. Simpler recipes.

[ Though Joonghyuk would resift it if it's there in the hotel for everyone to pat.

Something tugs at his line and he pulls out..






Trash. ]

[senjinrouha]

[ there's a moment of excitement where the potential arrival of a FISH is heralded by the tug of the line, but--

no.

no feesh. ]

Sure. But bread's one of them, and it'll be filling if we can make it right.

[malewife]

[ Well, good luck with that. Joonghyuk isn't going to offer help outright.

Yuri... Why did your eyes light up. ]

Did you want to fish?

[senjinrouha]

Later, maybe.

[ it’s?? exciting when something happens in fishing? ]

How much trash have you hooked out of the ocean anyway? Compared to the fish.

[malewife]

You would need to work for it yourself. [ Not that he's offering his fish. ] ... The likelihood of reeling in trash has always been higher.

[ He's annoyed. ]

The children should have been taught not to litter.

[senjinrouha]

I’m not about to start simpering for fish, don’t worry. [ but it’s good to know there is actually a supply of fish for catching out there in the ocean. ]

It’s not like they have adults to keep reminding them.

[malewife]

... There are a number of boats along the dock.

[ Which makes him wonder. ]

But the sea isn't the only escape.

[senjinrouha]

Some people might’ve gone to sea. But… it takes time to sail a ship, and if you’re running from something—

[ idek man, he’d just run into the death forest. ]

[malewife]

Are you planning to investigate any location today?

[ While he doesn't quite trust everyone, people seem to have some semblance of stick together and suffer together. He might as well take advantage of shared information. ]

[senjinrouha]

Lighthouse, probably. That’s one of the things we definitely saw from our climb, so—

[ he shrugs. ]

Might as well start there and see what else peaks my interest as the week goes on.
