⇨ The Local Food (open)

[wuf]

[ Razor makes his daily runs to the cafe and bakeries early in the morning. He likes to do this for two reasons: the food is fresh and the stores are typically pretty quiet and newly opened for the day. Less people means less noise, and that's what he likes about this the most.

Regardless as to whether he is in a café or bakery, he shifts up to the case of treats, and he points at what appears to be a berry muffin. ]

What's this?

[ He doesn't eat a lot of baked goods, but he wants to try something new every day, and apparently today is the day for a muffin. ]

[actinggrandmaster]

[Jean was up early that day, and decided to check out to the shops before a bunch of people showed up. It was calming to her, at least. Getting to one of the cafe's, she pauses when she sees a familiar outfit.]

Razor?

well that was weird. please ignore.

[wuf]

[ He knows her because he's seen her around. Not just here, but also at home. Jean -- he remembers. His attention shifts up to her, then he brings his hand to his chest and nods. ]

Yes. Razor.

[concierto]

[Venti isn't always an early riser. He doesn't really have a set routine for these sorts of things. He usually just wakes up when his body feels like it's time to be up and he's on his way. But the mornings are nice, fresh and full of the morning songbirds. With fewer people around there are fewer eyes to peek at what Venti might be up to.

Maybe a treat at the bakery for the morning is wonderfully deserved.]

Why, good morning, Razor.

[Look at the good boy. Shopping all on his own? Well well.]

That looks like a berry muffin. Savoury yet sweet with a hint of berry tartness. Are you thinking of purchasing a few?

[wuf]

[ Oh - Venti! Razor's kind of surprised to see him. He tilts his head and looks towards the other. ]

Hi, Venti.

[ He likes the guy well enough, at least. As far as he's concerned, Venti has always been pretty kind to him. He glances back towards the muffin in question after the explanation that he truly appreciates. ]

Yes. Snack while hunt.

[ While he much prefers meat and potatoes, he's not a super picky eater as long as it doesn't have any greens in it. So, a berry muffin does sound pretty good to him. ]

A few.

[ He's always hungry so he'll need that. ]

[concierto]

Hm, what a good idea!

[But what is Razor's idea of hunting...? Still scampering outside in the woods??]

Why don't I pick out a few as well.

[He giggles softly under his breath. He might only be playing but--]

I hear there might be a five-fingered discount today.

[wuf]

What's that?

[ His reply to the suggestion is earnest, at least. He doesn't really understand the implication of a five-finger discount. ]

Very good here. Definitely should try.

⇨ In the Wild (open)

[wuf]

[ Even with the rain, Razor wanted to spend time out in the woods and exploring. He didn't mind the cool water hitting him even when it shifted to a heavy, pouring rain. He was hanging out at the edge of town and making his way to hit some trees where he'd be able to find some rabbits and squirrels to hunt.

Maybe you are passing him on the way back towards the city to get inside. Maybe you are making your way to the forest and trees because you have the same idea.

Regardless, when he hears someone passing, he turns, watching. ]

Hunting?

[lunarchain]

[ Mona misses her Hydromancy. When the fresh crisp rains plaster along her tiny frame. Collecting itself unto the shapes of her hat, slipping past its ribbons and finely woven shapes. The woman below it looks unto her clasped hands having collected bits of rain within. She pears into it, attempting to draw the power of her astrolabe into working. However, the magic of her world does not answer to her, and instead all that remains. Is of the water cupped within the palms of her hands.

She misses how simple it were, the fresh bits of rain were a wonderful choice for scry readings. No less were the fresh melted snows of Dragonspire. Yet the empty rain, that did not answer to her magics nor reflected the lines of the sky. Seemed to give into her yearning answers. A subtle sigh escapes her lips, and she is surprise to hear a voice come from behind her.

Adjusting, she turns allowing for the water held within her palms to fall unto the floor. ]

Oh - ? You are.... Razor no?

[ Mona questions, acknowledging that the other was someone she has heard of - if because of Lisa herself. ]

You are here as well..?

[wuf]

[ He nods in response to it. It's not surprising to him when people know him, especially those from home. Especially those where his experience or knowledge of them is in passing, and often without a name attached. He brings his hand to his chest as he looks around. ]

Yes.

[ His familiar appears at his side, a wolf, ghostly and large. Razor reaches over to place a hand on his head and then looks towards it, then back to her. ]

A little while.

[ Not very long. ]

Just got here?

[ He asks it because he understands that's the polite thing to ask. Plus, he hadn't seen her around out here. He glances behind him, back towards the city. The population, the noise, the energy of the place. It was not something he actively enjoyed. So, despite the weather, he was going to enjoy his time out here. ]

Woods best.

[ It's so matter of fact. ]

[lunarchain]

[ The wolf garners' a curious look from her - was this a representation of Andrius? She kept it in mind, and was glad that for whatever reason. The wolf itself was not exhibiting signs of aggression to her. The familiar that she had, rested beneath her hat. Flitting its tiny wings below it as it rested by her hairs bow. As if looking like a bow itself beside her pigtail.

She still did not know why a Lunar Moth, of all familiars. However, it did not talk to her and so she found no reason to question it. ]

Yes, I got here not that long ago. I am surprised to see more familiar faces as time passes too - but I suppose it makes sense. All of our fates are intertwined.

Hmm... Are you hunting... ? Or?

[ Mona herself came out here.. To look for food, she was use to living off the land when she were younger and during her time in Mondstat. Living off of the mushroom from her home. ]

[feralhumanity]

[Nanaki isn't against the food in the city; it's convenient, easy to get, and rather tasty depending on where he goes. And he doesn't mind getting his exercise by walking around or doing quests around town. But for as easy as it is to get food and as much exercise he can get around the city, he does long for the wilds from time to time. He's more than just a savage animal, but he's a being of the wilds at heart; he sometimes misses being able to run, and stalk, and hunt. So on occasion, he goes out into the woods to stretch his legs and hone his hunting skills.]

[The rain is a little unpleasant, but it's a good challenge to see if he can still track scents in the damp weather. He's considering following a trail he's caught scent of this morning when he pauses, his ears flicking as he catches the sound of something moving. And when he goes to investigate, he realizes it's not a something, but a someone.]

...yes, I am. I apologize if I startled you.

[wuf]

[ Razor looks at him, his attention shifting from the focus on the hunt to the focus on his new companion. Who talked to him. Which wasn't that weird considering he had animal magic, so the best he can assume is that an animal is talking to him. But, he's never seen one like this before.

He takes a couple of steps to approach and close the difference. ]

Not startled. I'm Razor.

[ He tilts his head. ]

You name?

So sorry for the delay, RL caught up to me

[feralhumanity]

[What a strange human... A cursory sniff tells him that the boy smells different from other humans. More wild, like the forest they're in, and... was that the faint scent of wolf on him? Hmm...]

I am Nanaki. I came out here to hunt. But if this is your territory, I can hunt elsewhere.

[tantailizing]

Huh?

[Zidane didn't know if he'd run into anyone this soon heading out into the woods, but turning his head, he sees a boy there and the question replays in his head. Once it does, he shakes his head.]

Nah, not today. I'm doing some exploring... getting to know the place since I got here a while back.

[wuf]

Oh.

[ He loves to be out early in the woods. It surprises him that others are up, too. It's not that he never encounters people out here, but usually he doesn't encounter many, and rarely earlier on. He especially didn't expect it considering the ongoing rain. ]

Adventure?

[tantailizing]

[Zidane nods with a smile.]

Pretty much! You wanna come with me?

⇨ Vital Venoms (open)

[wuf]

[ Spiders sounded like an interesting mission. He wanted to help and apparently that involved collecting venom. He slowed the moment he started noting spider webs. This was a type of mission he loved, mostly quiet and out here to enjoy the way he did. And he figured he might be able to find a way to bring the spiders in alive. He wasn't sure yet how, but he figured he could improvise.

He paused, turned and looked behind him, because he swore he heard someone else approaching. And, in a hushed voice he asked: ]

Here for spider?

[ After all, it can't hurt to work together. Maybe someone else will have an idea that he doesn't. ]

[silvergarden]

[Going out and about and actually fighting isn't really Rinea's idea of how to spend her time, but her hulking, terrifying familiar Adalhard had insisted-- very politely, and through a silent game of charades, but insisted-- that she practice. Plus, the venom would be useful on a personal study level!

So here she is, dressed in pants for easier movement, nervously clutching her tome of alchemy notes and blank pages.]

Oh... [Matching his quiet tone, Rinea curiously takes in the sight of the boy who addressed her. (Adalhard stands indifferently behind her, looking out at the webs ahead of them.) He looks so... familiar!]

Yes, I am. I was just contemplating how best to go about it, but... um.... [Oh, she remembers now.] I beg your pardon... are you Razor?

[wuf]

Razor.

[ He nods when she addresses him with the familiar name as he speaks. He doesn't know who she is, though. Which means she could be anyone. He's talked to a few strangers on the device-thingy that he doesn't fully understand, and there's also people from home who just know who he is because he's the boy who lives with wolves and is their family. ]

Need to --

[ Hmm - ]

Capture. Dunno yet. Still thinking.

[ For now, he's careful to not mess with their webs. He knows spider webs can be sticky and hard tog et rid of. ]

Maybe tie up!

[ No... ]

[silvergarden]

[Goodness, but he's very to the point, isn't he! Rinea wonders if she should even bother introducing herself... and then opts not to. Whatever, it's fine. Razor's one-track-mind seems to know what it's doing, and who is she to stop him?]

Well... Before I arrived, I did a little research. [Rinea crouches, using her knees as a surface to open her book upon.]

The spiders here are quite big, and resistant to physical attacks. They stay in the caves as much as possible, so...

[Rinea turns the page, passing carefully-practiced alchemy runes surrounded by scribbled notes.]

I'm still learning, but... I.. I may be able to incapacitate them for a time by changing the makeup of the air in the caves. Do you think... [SHYLY] Do you think that would be helpful?

⇨ The Librirynth (closed to Bennett)

[wuf]

[ Kill slimes and earn some pie? It sounds like a mission right up Razor's alley. Free food to fill his constantly hungry belly. This also seemed like a perfect mission to do with his best friend, so the two of them organized their efforts the best that the two of them can, and made their way to the start of that labyrinth.

Razor peeked inside and he took a few steps, looking back towards his friend, he added: ]

Maze?

[ He apparently doesn't know what a labyrinth is. ]

[rotacalamitas]

[Whereas Razor was easily motivated by food, Bennett was motivated by adventure, and just the mere mention of getting to dive into the unknown and chase danger all in the pursuit of whatever might be waiting for them at the end was enough to get his heart pumping.]

Yeah, it's a labyrinth! [He sounds really excited about this. Just smiling from ear to ear.] I heard about these before, they're like really big Domains!

[wuf]

Lab -- [ He stops because there's no point in pursuing the word and just nods his head aggressively. But when the other compares it to a big Domain, the whole thing is much more accessible to him. He nods. ]

Domain. Can do!

[ He reaches back, checking to make sure the claymore on his back is still as accessible as it was meant to be. ]

Let's go.

[ Alright - well, nothing better than to take a step in now. ]

[rotacalamitas]

[Bennett nods to Razor, before checking he's still got his stuff. Bag, check. Sword, check. Vision even though it's useless? Check. Goggles? Big check.

With that said, it's time to head further on in. but while they walk...]

...Lab-err-inth.

[He's not letting you off the hook here, Razor. Now that he knows you can't say it, he's making sure you learn it.]
