The Field

Another chilly night of wild Laugher antics bathes the forest in blood once again. With temperatures dipping as low as 14C (57F) in the forest and 12C (53F) at the island, people must be beginning to wonder if a serious change in the seasons is about to occur. It doesn't help that the sun stays hidden for most of the day, with a damp and muffled feeling on the ground. It breaks through and bathes the land in it's fierce white light just as it's gaining momentum (or so it seems) on it's downward arc.

Kenneth made a point of getting everyone's attention to announce that Helena and Cross had not returned in the time that he'd expected them to. Since his carts were completed and functional he felt that it was time to pack up and head northeast to the island on their own. His announcement made it perfectly clear that he was going, whether everyone was with him or not. He left it up to everyone to decide if they would be coming or staying. If they are coming along though, he encourages everyone to harvest as much of the useful items that they can - yarnball fruit, ying yang beans stored in water in one of Ryan's successful clay pots, milk melons, cages of pesks, heaps of fragrant bloodfruit, shocklate, Bazzer's skins and pelts, yards of grassrope and clay jars of resin, make one last round to look for found items in pesk nests and grassmats as well as coils of climber vines with the hope that they'll still be pliable by the time they get where they are going. Spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch, people. It's time to be making ready to leave.
