"I did not get the sense that it would be necessary. The beach had most of the danger and is pretty far from us," Though they have a decent view of it from their higher up vantage point.

"Okay." She puts her sock back on her foot - she has been going around wearing one sock all day just in case she was going to have to put it in her mouth again - and she cuddles up for warmth.

Permalink

She continues to be really hot and Lucien continues to be happy for her to arrange him as desired.

Permalink

It's been a long day and she didn't take a near-nap. She's asleep and mumbling into his neck pretty quick.

Permalink

Lucien is also pretty tired it turns out. 

When they wake up the sun is rising and what looks like brown amphibious sharks are crawling all from the woods towards the sea, a safe distance away from them.

"Huh, I wonder if those were what we heard the first night."

Permalink

"They definitely look like they could be - that one has blood on it's snout I think? Which makes sense if they hunt on land."

Permalink

 

"Man they're weird looking. Land sharks."

Permalink

"I guess it's not as unusual as the sunrise."

Permalink

"The sunrise looks like a painting and the land sharks look like a cartoon, they stick out more to me."

Permalink

"Ah, the land sharks seem more plausible to me than the way the sunrise doing repeating colors like that."

Permalink

"Oh, I agree they're plausible. There they are being plaused. But there too is the sunrise! Somehow!"

Permalink

"Yeah I really have no idea what could be causing it to repeat like that - different colors I'd buy but this feels like it's against the rules."

Permalink

"Maybe it's in the genre of an aurora."

Permalink

"Oh that would... make at least some physical sense. I guess."

Permalink

"Maybe when we are rescued you will be able to spare the calories to divine its nature. For now we should probably try to diversify beyond bananishses and catfish. Maybe check those berries, or try to identify and stalk a creature similar to us and see what it eats."

Permalink

"I can check the berries now if you'd like?"

Permalink

"Is it cheaper closer to an example?"

Permalink

"Not really, unless they only grow in a very specific area."

Permalink

"There's more bananishes, than berries, by volume, but variety's probably good if we're gonna be here a while, go ahead and check the berries."

Permalink

"Yes ma'am."

 

"The things most similar to use tend to eat the berries at most once."

Permalink

"Well that's ominous. No berries. Do you get any sense of what creatures it's referencing for similarity here?"

Permalink

"Not without further use - I can check different sorts of similarities individually?"

Permalink

"Maybe we should put out some bananish and some fish as bait and see what if anything comes and eats it."

Permalink

"We'd need to stay hidden somewhere with a decent view, probably?"
