Brutal Boot Camp - Day 3

[disciplines]

Who: Alleyne and anyone/everyone going to boot camp
What: Day 3 in a week of rainbows and sunshine and kittens
When: May 13th
Where: A forest right on the border of the Dead Zone
Rating: S for Shenanigans (Shouldn't be more than PG13 at most)

The dawn of the third day. By now, you all should be pretty accustomed to your makeshift beds and tents, your stomachs either empty or angry at you for eating something bad or not enough, a bit sunburned, covered in bites, and not ready to get up at all.

Which means time to wake up, of course. Today covers some more survival essentials. This is what you came out here to learn, isn't it? They don't call it the hard way for nothing. Rise and shine, soldiers, it's time to wake up and move out!

Spearfishing

[disciplines]

[Come lunchtime, Alleyne makes her way over to the creek nearby, wielding a sharp stick and eying the movements of the fish in it closely. She points to other sticks like it on the ground along with some sharp rocks, encouraging you to make a spear point on your own.

Hope you like seafood.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Picking up a spear, and...]

This seems a little dangerous.

[psych0p0mps]

[Ooh this looks fun! Aradia gets a stick too.]

Sure, for the fish.

[her_mouse_jesty]

[Gulp.]

I suppose it doesn't matter if I say I'm a vegetarian...?

[psych0p0mps]

[Aradia gives her an odd look.] Then what are you going fishing for?

[her_mouse_jesty]

Telling Miss Alleyne 'no thanks' is a lot harder than one would think.

[a.k.a SCARY ELF SAYS I HAVE TO.]

[psych0p0mps]

Just tell her you don't eat fish. I'm sure she'll understand.

[aka teacher's pet sees no problem with this situation]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Still, I'd hate to disappoint her...

[She looks up at her new friend.]

Have you known her long?

[psych0p0mps]

[Nods] Yeah, ever since I got here. About fourteen months now.

[her_mouse_jesty]

Then you surely do know her better than I. I've lost track of just how long I've been here, though... time seems to work different between these worlds.

[psych0p0mps]

[Hehe. Aradia could tell you how long she's been here down to the second, but she'll be nice and not show off.]

Did you want me to ask her for you?

[her_mouse_jesty]

... Hm, no, I suppose I should do the mature thing and ask her myself. It's unbecoming of me not to try.

[psych0p0mps]

Okay. Let me know how that goes, all right? [She sits down and pulls off her boots in preparation for wading.]

[her_mouse_jesty]

Thank you.

Have we formally introduced ourselves yet?

[Curtsy.]

My name is Minnie Mouse.

[psych0p0mps]

Hehe, I think we've been introduced a bunch of times, actually. We live in the same tower. But I'm Aradia.

[Tim doesn't make his spear hastily, putting some time and effort into making it nice and sharp. Then he goes over to the river and stands there for quite awhile, watching the fish swim by. He can almost hear Bruce's voice telling him this isn't about how fast you can stab the fish (unless you have super speed or some other way superhuman way of getting them), it's mostly about patience and waiting for the right moment to strike. Wait for the prey to come to you. So he stands there as still as he possibly can for a few long minutes until one fish comes right in front of him. With a quick jab, he spears it and grins triumphantly as he holds it up.]
