Truly, Borkus was the villian here all along.

YES! THIS!
--- Springwood Forest, outskirts ---

Time of Day: Late Morning (10:00 AM~)
People of Interest: @Zeroth Yasunami Akitsugu, [@Dragonydas} Myrravel Velasien, @Remram Brom Stronghammer,

Those who took to the road and left the village behind in search of firewood would travel eastward, towards the Springwood Forest. While the trip there would msot likely be uneventful and mundane, with little to stop and gawk at along the way, the trip would give those walking there a peaceful and pleasant stroll, and a moment to talk amongst themselves and get to know one another a little better - if they so chose. The walk itself would take about half an hour, if they kept a steady, regular pace and didn't stop or take any detours along the road. Speakng of, there weren't any actual roads or paths leading to the forest per se. Instead, those travelling there would have to rely on not but choosing a general direction and heading that way.

Upon arriiving on the outskirts of the forest though, they'd be greeted by the fresh scent of woodlands. Bark, leaves, moss, grass and dew all mixed together in the air to form a familir and well-known smell to all, or well at least those who frequented the outdoors. As one looked around, it became clear that the forest divided into layers of a kind, with the outer-most one at which they were now was home to mostly thin trunked trees. But the deeper you wandered into the acual woods, the thicker and larger the trees started to get. Additionally, one's who knew where, how and what to look for, would soon realize that there were more useful plants, bushes and resources further in.

In the outer-most section of the forest there seemed to be mostly thin trees and basic ferns or other leafy plants, but if one kept going, they'd soon stumble upon things like wild vegetables and berry bushes, further still and you may come across nut or fruit-bearing trees. But, as with all things, the deeper one went, the more potential danger may appear. While the forest would certainly offer plenty of dry branches, fallen logs and ingiting sources, it also held the residents of the woods - and some of them may not be too friendly... Or they might just be hungry.

But it was still midday and fairly early. The sun was high and there was plenty of light. The green and brown of the forest beckoned, inviting the travellers in to forage and explore.

What would they do next? Where would they go? What, or who, would they find?

@Lupusintus Rinn Arniman, @BunniesOfDoom Adrila Jaaxa

Sheryl only glanced up momentarily from her work when she heard the elf's voice. She cocked ehr head sideways when the other woman flashed her an pologetic smile and then quickly dumped the string-spinning fop at her doorstep. Only when the man opened his mouth and began to babble did she realize why.

"Ah... ha.... Very, uh, nice to meet you too, young man." She said, a streined smile on her face.

Fortunately, her ox of a husband came barging into the stone house soon after, placing down a big crate full of tools and utilities. When he spotted Rinn and heard the lad ask what he could do, the big oaf laughed heartily and wandered himself on over to the yuonger man. With a firm, repetetive thumps on the youth's shoulder, the man spoke in a friendly tone.

"Perfect! It was gonna take a while to unload the cart all by myself, but with you here we'll get it done in no time! Wahaha!" Daryl said in an excited tone, completely missing the fact that the bard's physique wasn't exactly... Otpimized... For carrying large and heavy containers with who-knows-what inside of them.

"Let him carry the lighter things, dear." Fortunately, the red-headed woman had a good head on her shoulders.

Laughing again, the big carpenter clasped onto Rinn's shoulder and pulled him along out to the couple's wagon. Upon arriving, the bard would find that there was no small stock of things in the cart left. Many barrels and large, heavy-looking boxes were still there, but there were also smaller sacks and less burdensome-appearing crates and containers too.

"Well, you heard the wife! You take the small stuff and leave the heavy things to me, alright boy?" Daryl said with a big old goofy grin, before leaning over the side of the wagon and grabbing a barrel, which he then proceeded to hoist onto his own shoulder and start carrying off, as if it were not but a wee child playfully getting a ride on the big man's broad, muscular shoulders.

Rinn would find that Daryl was a chatty fellow, happy to share tales of how he and Sheryl had first met, where they used to live, where they'd come from and what road they'd traveled. All while moving back and forth between the cart and the building, never stopping to rest of take a breather. The man was a machine!

Meanwhile, a certain administrative-focused elf would find herself with a quickly diminishing roster of people to boss around as people set off to take care of whatever tasks or personal matters they had decided upon. Alone in the town square now, she'd find herself sandwiched between the wooden lopg house, the stone building where Sheryl, Daryl and Rinn were pre-occupied with, and the strange, star-like statue at the very central-most point of the village.

What would she do next?


--- Northeastern Part of the Vullage ---

@ERode MacKinnon

The little scamp would come into the northeast part of the ruined settlement and find... More of the same. Like, really, there wasn't any actual difference between the ruined buildings here and the ones she'd just scoured back at the heart of the town. Sure, some of the structures may have looked different or been of varying shapes and sizes, but all in all they were just more abandoned, rickety, falling-apart-dye-to-lack-of-maintenance buildings.

But, these were also places she hadn't explored and pillaged yet! Who knew what kind of treasures, trinkets or other items were left behind? Maybe none? Maybe a ton!? Maybe there was a diamoned-encrusted flagon that'd been enchanted to always keep its contents cool? OR perhaps a bear-skin rug? What about a complete collection of some ancient scolar's enyclopedias on various sciences and topics? ... Well... Maybe none of that, but you never knew! The ruins were, as they say, her proverbial oyster, ready to be violently pried open to see what was inside!

@CitrusArms Niara Rootwick, @Rune_Alchemist Yingmei Okudaira

Those who left for the south-west of the village would find a small dirt path leading out of the town. Of course, not long after you exited the settlement, the 'road' was gone, completely swallowed and overgrown by nature that had reclaimed it. But, it didn't take long to spot something interesting.

In the distance, a small ways away, were the remnants of a fence, or perhaps a low wall? Bits of it was made of wood, and other bits of stone, but all of it either crumbling or ruined by now, thanks to age and weather. But, beyond this sad display of a barrier, lay what was truly intriguing. The remains of... A field? A crop field?!

Yes, although largely grown over and reclaimed, it was clear as day to anyone with any sort of knowledge about agricultrure that this was, or at least had been, a field for growing food in at some point. And while indeed most of it had been consumed by nature, there were still bits and pieces that looked as if it could be worked right away, with only a little bit of effort involved in clearing and fixing it up! Moreover, there seemed to be some sort of shack or small building at the very far end on the opposite side of the village.

... And, there was something... Small... And white... Leisurely waddling about in the field-area...
Welp, guess I'll go make a post then, since the vast majority seem to be in favor of that.

EDIT:


There we go. Hopefully that'll help you guys have a little something to do and respond to.

If you need further details or specifics or want to cause a scene, lemme know. :)
@BunniesOfDoom, @CitrusArms, @Dragonydas, @Lupusintus, @Remram, @Rune_alchemist, @Zeroth

Wha'bout the rest of you? Ya'll want a GM post now, or would some of you like to post something yourselves first?
Silly post of non-advancing is silly.
Seeing as Miyuki isn't particularly interested in the Gremlin Hunt (because she doesn't even know it's going on), she'll probably just sit in the cafeteria, eat and then go back to her room, all while in the foulest of moods.

Thanks A LOT, Velvet. D<
Miyuki no Suzuyami


Locationn: Umbra Rose Condos, Bldg #1, Miyuki & Yumeiko's apartment, Miyuki's room -> Bldg #1 Cafeteria
Time of Day: Late Afternoon
Relevant Cast: @CitrusArms Yumeiko, @Lemons Velvet, @Expendable Qaymu, @Dragonydas Porky Borkus


Miyuki's ears twitched and flitted a bit when her companion suddenly decided to take on her purely human form. Such a waste... And her face soured a bit further after the golden one turned to speak with the tiny trollop. It soured even further when Yumeiko apologized and acted cordial towards the other woman. What? like she hadn't attacked me earlier this morning? A bunch of empty words doesn't fix things like that.

She then watched in utmost disdain as the short little miscreant began to act all casual and comfortable again, doing silly things like stretching and plopping herself down on her chair without a care in the world, looking over at Miyuki with that 'Eh, I tried'-look in their eyes. As I thought. Just a bunch of empty words from a vapid human. How typical. She was used to it, of course. Back in the days of the Imperial Court, there'd been no shortage of supplicants and people who bowed, scraped, begged, pleaded and apoligized or asked for forgiveness. All empty and hollow platitudes in order to save their own face and skin, of course. But things were different now. She could no longer punish offenders even when they deserved it. She couldn't reject apologies of insincere self-preservation even when she knew they were fraudulent. Now, she had to just sit and play nice with everyone... It sucked. Perhaps that wws one of the very few things she actually missed about interacting a lot and directly with humans. Having the authority to decide over them, or at least influence their fate by proxy of another.

She sighed to herself, lost in thought. Eyes having drifted off to stare into the vacant abyss of nothingness. A pass-time that had become more frequent with age, and more frequent than she'd care to admit.

But, the voice of the pint-sized pest piped up again, and she was brought back from her stroll down memory lane. This time the creature asked a rather rude and offensive querry. What's up with me? What's wrong with you is the question here, shrimp. Although she heard the question, although she could have answered it herself, she didn't. The conversation was between Yumeiko and this... Thing... There was no need for ger to get involved or partake in their little exchange. Although, she would need to have a few choice words with Yumeiko later tonight...

The black fox let her eyes move past the miscreant and instead landed on the gentleman who'd the aforementioned one had been playing that board game with. He seemed more interested in their little match than in engaging in any sort of way with this little pow-wow. A reasonable choice. Why step into a hornet's nest when you didn't need to, or had no business there in the first place? She could appreciate that. ALthough, if he was a friend of this one... Chances were it wouldn't be long before he jammed his foot into his mouth as well. Miyuki sighed again.

Her attention then fell towards the kitchen-area, her eyes narrowed.

"Is that little piggy going to bring us that food anytime soon I wonder...?" She said with an exhausted exhale. Her stomach was still growling and protesting at the lack of nourishment it had received during today.
