[Walkabout] Evening of the first day

Okay, kids. Don't know how many of you know shit about livin' where there's no roads or pre-packaged dinners, but this is what I've been doin' half my life. So listen up.

First thing we need is water. Found that. It's south-east from where we landed, looks like this.

[And he gives them a livestream of the brook he's found trickling out to the ocean proper. It's not like your normal livestream, in that Riddick's vision is tinged bright violet, seems to focus mostly on heat and movement, and if you can parse through both of those things, you can tell it is completely unhampered by the darkness.]

Nobody come down here yet, though. There's predators on this island, or there were last time I was here, and most of 'em are nocturnal. So stay put and stay together until dawn, much as you can. Might even be smart if we did our sleeping in liminal space, until we find some sign there's still people here.

Second thing we need is food. There's animals here we can hunt, and probably some edible fruit and shit, but we've got liminal space, too. Anybody who can make food we can actually eat, do that. I'm gonna pop into liminal space to give it a shot myself, here, in a minute.

There used to be people on this island. Used to be, it was kept protected by a force field thing. I think that's probably still there, so don't go swimmin' out too far, or you'll hit it. Nasty shit happens when you do that. Ain't seen any sign of the people yet, but that don't mean they ain't here somewhere. Think that should probably be thing number three. Findin' out where the people went to, if they're still here somewhere. Might be a good idea to start searching this place in the morning.

I got shot last Jaunt! That is not a best case scenario!

What, having people start worshipping you has got to be better than having them try to kill you.
capital_asset: (Really?)

Until they start expecting things of their new gods, perhaps.

[Raidou's talked to gods before. Some of them are touchy about things like that.]

And that's assuming there aren't any native gods to take offense, like the dragons did last Jaunt.

Alright, alright. Just let me know when you're going.
failgoyle: (concerned)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-16 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I've got a lot of magic, I can...oh. Oh.

[No, he hadn't thought about existing gods taking offense...]

But look, if Ghostbusters taught me anything, it's that if someone asks you if you're a god, you tell them yes!
capital_asset: (Please be kidding.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-16 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
...Ghostbusters.

[Raidou has no idea what that is, but it sounds appalling.]

Some gods might find that kind of subterfuge amusing. Others... don't.
failgoyle: (wait wait wait)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-16 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
And some might believe you and decide not to toast you, or if you tell them no, then they get pissy and everything is marshmallows!

...I can go synthetic, if we can't get enough food.

[That's...probably about the only thing she can contribute. She might be able to hunt, if she had a rifle, but she does not. So.]

Though I dunno how long I can keep that up without a power source.
capital_asset: (I just work here.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-16 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
...Marshmallows.

[Raidou is not even going to pretend he understands what Jules is talking about here.]
solvethepuzzle: (Look up)

[personal profile] solvethepuzzle 2016-05-16 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
[... Huh. That's interesting.] Was it without Infiltrators, to your knowledge?
capital_asset: (At rest)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-16 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps the forcefield is connected to whatever may have happened to any people in the city in some way.

I'll be careful. And I'll be sure to report on my findings.
ofinspiration: (please stop you're scaring me)

[personal profile] ofinspiration 2016-05-16 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
...I see. Did the locals happen to share any theories about what put it there? Or what brought them here?
failgoyle: (frysquint)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-17 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
Marshmallow men, no less!
capital_asset: (This seems dubious.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-17 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
[He assumes there's a reason Jules is using this specific example, but he has no idea what that might be.]

Why marshmallows?

[He's already half-dreading the answer.]
ringslinging: (i wish my penis had an off switch)

[personal profile] ringslinging 2016-05-17 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ Look, would you rather have a dozen of the guy who was freaking out about no wi-fi? ]

I'm pretty sure the last time someone felt the need to warn me not to put strange objects in my mouth I was like, two.
comebewe: (Neutral 3)

[personal profile] comebewe 2016-05-17 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Wonderful. Glad to know that we can quickly return to being eaten alive by tiny, tiny bugs.

[this nature business is not their thing, okay]
comebewe: (Annoyed 1)

[personal profile] comebewe 2016-05-17 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's either that or we see how many of them we can burn.

[shut up, we can't all be former prison hard men]
