JUNE OPEN LOG

[sailmods]

[but, hey: you shouldn't be left out of the camping fun just because you didn't think to sign up, or you only got here yesterday, or actually you only got here today and you have no idea what's going on! because the camp can come to YOU!

meaning, shortly after seeing the others off, Friday returns to the atrium and begins setting up a few items she's brought from... somewhere, one assumes? a pup tent. two sleeping bags. a tent stove. s'mores accoutrements. there's a fake potted plant that she decided looked enough like a tree. all pushed together in the middle of the atrium.

at her spot behind the desk, she looks visibly pleased with herself. she's doing her best.]

"Camping?" Camping isn't really a thing where Hythlodaeus is from, so he's just as lost- if not more. But he's happy enough, having found the marshmallows. "I assumed this was some strange picnic. Is it not?"

Oh, does that not mean the marshmallows are free to take? Oops... he's already eaten a fair few.

"Oh hello! I'm Tendi! And I'm not completely sure, I think it's a picnic that lasts for a few days. Like, you go out in the woods, experience nature, all of that. As for the marshmallows, I think you roast them over the fire, and they get brown and melty, you then put it on the crackers, and eat them, it's a kinda dessert."

Tendi takes one of the sticks and pokes a marshmallow, holding it over the camp stove. "It's a bit weird to be doing this indoors, but well, I guess techanlly that's all we do when we're in the holodeck! This is just a basic version of that."

"Well met, Tendi. I am Hythlodaeus."

He eyes what she's doing, and takes a stick to poke through the marshmallow as well. "I see, I see! Nature... heh."

He didn't get to see much of nature in its full glory back home. He lived in the city, and rarely did he leave it. Besides, with his job being to approve or deny the various flora and fauna that people wanted to let free into the world... he thinks he saw enough of 'nature' just fine.

"I admit, I cannot see the appeal of sleeping in the woods. But perhaps it would be safer where you are from." He can take care of himself just fine, but why have to when he could simply stay in the city? Much easier.

"Well, it's nice to get in touch with nature sometimes, get away from the noise and light, and just kinda relax. I work on a spaceship, so you can imagine that I'd be more interested in feeling real ground beneath my feet every now and then."

Tendi takes her roasted marshmallow and puts it on the cracker with the chocolate, taking a bite. "So where are you from? You said your woods were really dangerous, how do you mean? Animals, or like, environmental issues?"

[ktizo]

"A spaceship! Intriguing- I have never been inside one." Though he's seen one... from his spot in the Underworld, watching his new old friend continue their arduous journey from beyond.

"I am from a star called Etheirys, and as for the woods- well, yes, various flora and fauna that would inevitably try to eat me."

He chuckles, roasting his marshmallow carefully. He's never done this before, so it's kind of exciting. "And I would have naught but myself to blame in many cases! 'Tis my job to approve or deny the creations to be placed in the world, after all. If I got eaten by, say, a Malboro- that would be entirely my fault for approving it."
