When: Day 32, evening
Where: Apartment O
What: family dinner...?

[There is a stew bubbling happily over the fire; leaf "platters" and shish-kebabs(? something-chunks on sticks), salad, a somewhat overcooked stirfry, and a gourd filled with fruit chunks in milky liquid are arranged on the kitchen counter.]

Okay, guys, get it while it's hot!

[Let's hope you won't ask how the two of us defeated a nest of vineacondas. << ]

I would be very grateful.

[overclocking]

[What I don't know won't hurt me??]

We all benefit from a kitchen, after all. Food is a pretty good unifier, too.

[madasahero]

[That's right. :( ]

Those were my exact thoughts.

[overclocking]

How does the saying go? "Great minds think alike"?

[madasahero]

I guess it cannot be helped.

[overclocking]

The saying, or the truth of it?

[madasahero]

The truth of it.

[Not that he would consider himself a "great mind"]

[overclocking]

[DITTO]

Maybe... Or it could be coincidence.

What kind of work needs to be done? You cleared most of the wildlife, right?

[madasahero]

[A little awkward]

It is more precise to say we killed the wildlife. Now it needs to be removed.

[overclocking]

[But why, that's what you're supposed to do 8|a]

Ah...well that shouldn't be too hard.

[We have a whole nest of dead gigantic snakes waiting for us. The four-foot long snakelings have been electrocuted to death. The forty-foot long mom has been ripped apart from the inside. < <]

...Perhaps.

[overclocking]

[... Well... On the bright side I've seen... worse...]

There's probably quite a bit in there worth trading too... I don't suppose the kitchen had any supplies in it aside from basics?

[madasahero]

[I want to trade all things!]

Well, I am not the best person to judge what is a properly supplied kitchen in Thusia, but that one seemed very bare even to me.

[overclocking]

Haha...of course it wouldn't be that easy.

[madasahero]

At least we have time enough to spare.

[overclocking]

I don't really mind more chores to do. It sounds like you guys got the hard part out of the way, anyway.

[madasahero]

[S-smile]

Let's keep our fingers crossed.

[overclocking]

[AMUSED]

I tend not to rely on luck... That never really pans out.

[madasahero]

Sometimes there is not much else to rely on.

[overclocking]

Perseverance and skill.

[madasahero]

[Short laugh]

[overclocking]

You don't think so?

[madasahero]

I do, though I'm often proved to be wrong.

[overclocking]

Fair enough. But they're still relatively more reliable than luck, at least.

[madasahero]

I cannot argue with that.
