Who: Hydracula
Where: On top of SKULL MOUNTAIN
When: Day 241, afternoon to evening
What: so about that undead judge-controlled zombie raptor and its friends

[Those out and about in the early afternoon may have seen the combined members of Hydra and Vulpecula (minus a few) coming home from the east, looking dusty, occasionally bloody, and more than a little haggard.

A few hours later, wounds are cleaned up, the unconscious have been put to bed, and the occasional figure in green or orange can be seen on the hat's rim. One, in fact, has been there almost consistently, sitting on the beams of the pulley and looking east.]

	Between his injury and transformation, that is not surprising. And yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm fine. Could have done a better job out there today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	How so? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You were capable of acting in time to save Boomer and protect Lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah. Lucky probably didn't need it but better safe than sorry. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was more worried about a stray spike impaling some portion of her circuitry than the effects of the overall weight, given her demonstrated durability thus far. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Nothing could hurt Lucky. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope you are right. I will not say that there are not areas in which you can improve; that much is true of all of us. But in my own estimation, you performed admirably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	grewuptootsun 2011-05-28 03:44 am UTC (link)
	...thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With the benefit of hindsight, what would you have done differently? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kept us from going at all for one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readbytwilight 2011-05-28 04:04 am UTC (link)
	Yes. It is easy enough to say that you and I do not have much in the way of hunting experience, but after this I think we are well within our rights to question the choices of those who do. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I love meat but maybe we should skip hunting for. Awhile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The judge spoke of a warning that was given. Assuming that it was passed on to the blanks of this iteration, rather than one previous, we should investigate what that was. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	This is going to suck... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Almost certainly, yes. There are at least fish to be caught nearby, and watch can be kept from the cliffs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hate fish but there's really no helping it.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	There are crustaceans as well. And the small river lizards. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I like those better. But a matter of taste isn't really important in this. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	readbytwilight 2011-05-28 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Lucky is as capable of catching one as the other. Or she was, previous to this change. Crustaceans may prove significantly easier now. From what was said, Beat's goal seems to be that of equality. Unfortunately, even from what little I know, our units have much to account for in that regard. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It's not like we're unfair! Those things are just as capable of killing us as we are them! We're just BETTER. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Agreed. Nor is there anything new to the animosity between our species. [Goes a bit more quiet, looking out into the cave.] Smoke wore a coat of raptor hide. It belonged to the same beast that took her eye. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So long as they are not possessed, your ability should be enough to hide you, if there is ever need. In a situation like today's, you could also attempt to place an empty box in their path. It may do little more than serve as a brief obstacle, but in such situations even a few seconds can be precious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
