thusia | That's it for now!

Who: Everyone
When: Day 112, late morning and on
Where: Headed Northward
What: A bit of normalcy

[Having switched routes from the preset course that was previously taking everyone southwest, the HQ now drifts steadily northward on manual navigation.

If one sticks their heads out onto the balcony and looks back, they can see the shape of a great feathered beast, her blue, green, and red feathers gleaming along a strangely serpentine body as she glides down on wings that dwarf the HQ. A few blasts of wind and a deep rumbling sound buffet the building, vibrating it a bit as she lands in the distance, followed by a haze of red shapes that rise off her and spread out over the area that the HQ once occupied.

There may be a tense moment while one waits to see if any of those red spots in the distance change course to pursue, but after maybe about half an hour of watching it becomes clear that for the time being none of those particular lizagons are interested.

The HQ drifts on, the jungle moving by below like a sea of green. It seems for now the HQ can finally have some peace. What will you do with the rest of the day?]

((ooc: A MINGLE TO BRING US BACK TO NORMAL PLAY. The HQ will be traveling at about 20-25 mph and take at least 4 or 5 IC days to clear the jungle, so in that time everyone is free to go back to regular posting! We'll be doing a more thorough summary and announcement stuff later on to catch everyone up to where we're at. Thanks to everyone who participated!))

Come now, I have no doubt you could perform such calculations while juggling. You are Yakumo Ran, are you not?

Talking with people, or for that matter juggling, would interfere with calculating the mass of passing trees for fun.

"Fun."

That is, in fact, what I said.

And yet.

You've always known I keep odd hobbies. 4,321 kilograms. A grand old specimen, that.

When we arrive at the plains, whatever will you do with yourself?

I suppose I'll have to estimate the number of grains within a given perimeter.

Oooh, we could calculate how fast the grass grows.

If you're trying to make fun of my hobbies, Yukari-sama, it won't work. That does sound like an interesting diversion.

I would never make fun of your hobbies. It sounds like it could make a good drinking game.

Take a shot for every different species of grass you can identify. Good stuff.

It would necessarily be a game played over a wider period of time. In plains the grass species tend to be rather homogeneous.

You'd just have to move fast. That's part of the challenge! Find the grasses in time to maintain drunkenness.

In time to maintain your drunkenness, you mean.

[IGNORED]

Oooh, also: bigger shot glasses. That would definitely help.

I believe those are referred to as regular glasses, Yukari-sama.

Not the way I use them.

How else would you use them? They are glasses designed to hold a greater amount of fluid, whether alcoholic or not.

Holding is not their only purpose. They are also made for transferring liquids into ones mouth. This is most commonly done through a process called "sipping," but I have developed an alternative technique.

Might this method be referred to as "gulping"?

How crude. The preferred term nowadays is "chugging."

Ah, of course. How wise you are to correct me thusly.

But my point still stands. One may in fact chug from a normal glass or cup.

One cannot limit a shot glass based on something as arbitrary as size. Rather, any glass can be a shot glass if one believes hard enough!

Very well. Then how would you wish me to acquire you a suitable drinking vessel?

2371 kilograms.

Oh dear, we'll have to do good deeds for more glass, won't we.
