What: Party
Rating: G, with potential to change depending on language
Jasper had built herself a nice little nest with a roof-like thing just before sunset the day before, but just before dawn a lot of the "roof" had been torn away. She had debated for a while whether or not to fix it, then decided no and hung up her sleeping bag upside down so the water couldn't get in - luckily the rest of it was waterproof. Then she got a long vine, put a noose in one end, and got a dead branch with her other hand. She stripped it of all the little twigs and things, and broke it so that it had a good, sharp end.
Then she went down the tree, with one foot in the vine so that she wouldn't fall into the water where those big sharp-toothed fish were. That way, instead of them eating her? It was the other way around. Merrily, as she got one and pinned it against her tree so it wouldn't flop away. It didn't really occur to her that she might have to cook it first. At the moment, Jasper wanted to catch as many fish as this bounty would allow. Loudly, without thinking about it, she started singing 'Living Dead Girl' by Rob Zombie
