What a marvellous place

[Charlie]

For a fire! Just a small one of course

I love surviving in the wilderness, and more than that, I love rubbing sticks together to generate enough heat to make some kindling burn!! Mm deliciously warm!!

[bsam]

I make the fire a little bigger, and use it to bake the mud i brought from the pond into a crude bowl shape



this i then use to boil water from the pond, to purify it for those who don't have charlies koi affinity.

HEY GUYS! Look what I found.


Turns out there are perfectly normal beasts roaming this forest, I managed to take down one with my sharp axe, this should feed us for a while.

starts slicing meat and preparing it for cooking.

[Charlie]

I love perfectly normal beast, mmm delicious!

I suppose these perfectly normal nuts and berries I've gathered throughout the day couldn't tempt you, could they?

[renuoquisby]

If I can cook some of my food on your fire that would be great and I will share some of M

[Charlie]

I'm fine with normal beast, tyvm, pls keep ur barbarianism to urself. Having said that, can't go wrong with more around the fire!!

Hello! If you don't mind me joining you, I've gathered a whole load of plants for us to eat -- some early blackberries, wild strawberries and blueberries, which will make a delicious fruit salad. I've also picked some nettles which we can make into nettle soup.


(Don't worry, I only picked the black ones)














I found a friendly cow who lives in a glade in the forest and she's agreed to donate some milk to us so long as we're kind and sing her songs when we go to visit her, so I'm going to gather some clay and make a jug we can collect milk in.

[renuoquisby]

I'm going to sing the cow this song (because the lyrics are easy to remember)

[violetbunfortunate]

Don't forget to take the jug for the milk! I just finished making it. 



I hope the cow likes your song. Incidentally, I am naming the cow Jeremiah Obadiah Jackanory Jones after a great book character. I asked her, and she is very happy with her new name. 

[violetbunfortunate]

Oh no! I've just come back to find that the fire has been left unattended and is spreading quickly! We need to put it out as fast as possible. If we had some enormous leaves to act as fire blankets, or if we had a helpful pile of sand to throw on the fire that would be great.
As it is, I'm going to run to collect more water from the spring and hope that helps.

[Charlie]

After kicking a bunch of the convenientlu loamy soil over some of the fire, I notice our beautiful cow friend has wondered over. Pew pew pew, after asking her permission I use her udder like a little gun to put out a few of the peripheral fires. PHEW. Now all that's needed is some water to assuage the remaining flames. No fire will be able to cross this milky circle however, so we are for the moment quite safe!

[violetbunfortunate]

Phew, what quick thinking (and milking) on Charlie and Jeremiah Obadiah Jackanory Jones's parts! I arrive back with some water just in time to put out the last of the flames. Disaster has been safely averted.

[Charlie]

THANK GOODNESS

[him]

the big brothers don't have to make things harder for us we can do our own pretending that OMG ALL OUR STUFF IS ABOUT TO BURN DOWN

[violetbunfortunate]

What do you mean, 'pretending'? That fire was a very real crisis.
