So, uh. I feel ridiculous asking this, but I need some help. I...am kind of hopeless with weapons. But I have a knife. And the only thing I know how to do with a knife is cut meat or spread butter. Help?

I still haven't figured out what they're surviving.

Nothing worse than waiting to find out your fate as far as this Survivor thing goes.

Hey, how's your reading going?

That moment when you're feeling like some sort of Disney princess by having a ton of butterflies land and settle on you up until the point you realise that actually all they're interested in is in the fruit bag you've got open.

Way to make a guy feel special.

OOC: Fulfilling #prompt 11 of the Orange & Teal bingo card

So weird thing, I found this near the weight machine in the gym. Like it wasn't there the day before so I'm thinking somebody might have forgot it?

I mean granted it isn't something I'd expect somebody to take with them to the gym but it takes all sorts and each to their own.

Not sure what to do with except to keep it until somebody claims ownership.

Evan Buckley & Gretel After this The Firepit Rating/Warnings: Low | None Complete | Log

( You’re on backup in case I need to kick our way in )

Kinda wishing I had the hose off the fire truck from back home.

Literally caked head to foot in mud and it does not come off easy.

( The entrails in Gretel’s hands gleamed purple and red.... )

Do you have your grimoire with you now? I've got my ritual books here, on my end. Perhaps we can add some of mine to yours, to give you other spells to practice. Plus you'll want to add your own work to your grimoire too, to have record of it.

Anybody seen Lyra?

[FILTERED TO BLOCK ONE]

Team REDRUM

There, that's my contribution. Are we volunteering to get fed to a pit beast, now that's the fucking question.

I mean I'll probably do it anyway but still.

[FILTERED TO DECLAN LYNCH]

I need to tell you something and you're not gonna fucking like it. I don't even know what it mea I'm at least 70% sure it's not my fault.

[Richie]

Come sit on your person so he doesn't drown.

I'm stuck on the pirate ship of the golf course. It seemed a better place to take shelter than the palm tree when the water cut me off.

But I could use a way back inside.

See, what this place was really missing was ominous darkness. Now we're all fucking set.

[FILTERED TO GANGSEY]

I'm gonna dream a couple storm-proof lanterns just in case this freaky ass sky means we're about to get our shit rocked. We might wanna see if we can find some non-perishables to stash too.

( Most things that are worth doing aren’t necessarily easy - isn’t there some kind of anecdote about that? )

Okay, real talk - any one out there who does the whole 'magical healing' thing? Because I'm sure we're all aware that many of us got our asses kicked by goat demons in pseudo-Russia (what the fuck even was that anyway, I mean, I'm not surprised but what the fuck was that) and you don't have to respond publicly but. I could just really use the assist. Will pay in cocktails with umbrellas in them, or we'll figure something out.

Also that weird picture vomit on our phones spells out Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest, and you can't convince me otherwise.

[filtered to gretel + ronan's gang, whomever is in it]

I trapped a rabbit today and Gretel made stew just now. I know not having Ronan around must be weird but you've got other people to help, so, come by if you want to eat something hot and not sugary. Room 31.

What: These two decide that the best time to talk about feelings and relationships is when Gale is sick and Gretel is holding a knife. Because of course they do.

( Gretel had a knife, he probably shouldn’t test her - but he was stubborn, okay. )

Finn and I got two loaves between us. Anyone real stuck for food? I don’t have a lot but I’ll share what I got.
