New netbook, who this?
Who: Dark Cacao Cookie and YOU
What: exploring town
When: late-March
Where: netbook and around the Grove
Warnings: will update if needed!
[ so if you happen to glance at your notebook at some point you might catch some writing, very very NICE writing (like someone that probably practices calligraphy, though it's slightly shaky) popping up.
First are a series of numbers that might be recognizable as measurements? Size-wise it's a decent sized space. In fact, it's a very estimated yard-age of the Grove. Then: ]
12 buildings + 1 across the river
various states of repair
no apparent defenses outside the fog wall/forest itself
river seems to be clean enough as a water source. various washed up debris?
[And here, have the beginnings of a map forming! Looks like someone doesn't realize this is a communication device, oops]

[ He's going to watch, tail wagging away, before carefully opening his packet of seeds. Last one! He has to use his teeth to do so. ]

How long you been wearin' it? I think that's good 'nuff.
[ Beat upends the seeds into the hole and then happily and very dog-like buries them, grinning ear to ear. Hole hole hole! ]
no subject
[Said fondly. He stops digging and dusts off his hands]

Seems right, yo. I'm only uh... what month is it. 20? Ye. It's not August yet, I think. You look like yer old.
[ The rudest boy. He moves to sit on his butt while he waits for the sunflowers to grow, pulling a gold ribbon from his pocket and handing it to Dark Cacao. ]
When it finishes sproutin' can you tie this around it in a bow? My paws too big fer it.
no subject
[he takes the ribbon, eyeing it]
Is this a ritual of some sort?
no subject
Nods. ]
Yea. I ain't always look like this, so I asked Yiddler how I can turn back to human, 'cuz the sun's fake as fuck so I can't sun change. So she said sunflowers, gold ribbon 'round them an' the amulet! An' I needed help wid it, to spread cheer an' stuff. Sun stuff, you know?
[ He pulls said amulet out of his shirt to show it off, the sun charm obvious. ]

YEA! Whatchu wanna know!? I aint know much yet myself, I'm still learnin', but I can try an' fill ya in!

[ Silence for a moment as he stares at the spot, waiting for the sunflower to grow. It's already beginning to peek, little green shoot slowly crawling upwards. ]
Well, one. She ain't so strong no more. Her brother, the bitch that brought us here, struck her down. Dunno why, but who cares. Dude's a dick. She survived, but she's really weak, yo. She can't talk widchu, but if you show her kindness, she can make you warm.
[ He looks around and points towards her statue by the well. ]
Doin' things like calling her the true Sun God, remembering her name: Beiwe, an' jus' worshipping her will make her stronger. Uh... shit we had a meetin' wid stuff...
[ His face screws up as he thinks and stares at the sprouting sunflower. ]
no subject
[That's growing faster than he expected!]
no subject
Oh! So like, Zahliya - he the gargoyle dude you might see ontoppa the church - got one of her shards an' can use it to purify the corruption shit some people got. That's the flowers and plants growin' outta 'em. So I figure if we power Beiwe up? She can purge that shit hella good!
no subject
[Ponder ponder. Yes, that should be their top priority.]
Thank you, this will give me a place to start.
no subject
[ The sunflower is making it's speedy way into the air, a little bud on the end. ]
no subject
[Gonna caarefully start tying the bow, making it loose so the stalk can grow into it]
no subject
[ He watches him tie the bow, tail wagging. And with Dark Cacao, that makes three. And at least he's used to it but Dark Cacao may be surprised by how the sunflower just... keeps growing.
That thing is gonna be several feet when it's done. ]
