Where's the Elf Help Section?

WARNINGS: None, will edit if that changes

[Closed to the Crew of the Bishop] Queen Takes Bishop
Upon being informed that she's been assigned to the Bishop, the ship becomes one of Moonshine's first places to explore. The larger rooms make her height look even more ridiculous against the proportions of the ship, but she still makes a point of poking her head into as many of the rooms as possible. At one point, she even picks one of the exposed cords in the wall, following its length to see where it leads. It's as useful as anything, as any signs indicating what's where on the ship are useless to her.

One particular place to find her poking around is the Galley, where the refrigerator and freezer seem to confuse her more than anything else she's seen. "What's the use of a big box of cold?"

[OTA] Nyoom!
It's a bright day in the city center, when suddenly a grey wolf with a small purple-clad woman riding on his back bolt across from somewhere near the livestock nursery, around the fountain toward the Whale Come Sent Her. Someone's excited to stretch his legs, it seems, though he alternates between zoomies and stopping to sniff around things. It is entirely possible that those who aren't paying attention to their surroundings may be half bowled-over by an overeager wolf and his apologetic rider.

[OTA] The Wild Hunt
Eventually, Steadypaw catches the scent of a nest of piglet-squirrels toward the south end of the Town Center, tracking their scent down toward the flood plain. Those within earshot may hear a loud "AYOOOOOOAH!" from Moonshade as the pair harry their prey. If anyone's interested in a delicious breakfast of fresh piglet-squirrel meat, feel free to join the pair as they hunt. After all, Moonshade's without the knife or bow and arrows she'd normally be packing for such a hunt. She has, however, fashioned herself a slingshot and gathered some rocks, but more firepower would obviously be appreciated.

[OTA] Wildcard
Feel free to reach out on Plurk ([plurk.com profile] darkersolstice) or Discord (darkersolstice#9463), but honestly if you just want to throw something random at me, I will roll with the punches!

The skinning part he did carefully and slowly, but he was definitely a quick learner. As for the rest of the field dressing of the meat in preparation for making food, that he seemed to have some basic experience on and learned quicker. While he'd never learned a formal way of doing it, picking it up on the fly for survival through real life experience had been a pretty decent teacher in his past.

As for the items to discard, Kosmo had already begun digging a hole to dispose of everything discreetly.

"It's a holiday where I'm from," Keith said, as he set things up for them to be able to more easily carry the meat back to town. "We exchange gifts with people we care about... friends and family. We get together with them, have parties, big dinners... just enjoy each other's company."

"It is," Keith said. "It's not something I always had, but it's nice when I do." He dumped the entrails and waste into the hole and began to bury it. "It's been a while for me, too, having everyone together. I miss them sometimes, when holidays like that come up. But I do have some people here. So I celebrate what I can with the people I do have. It's important to have that time together."

Keith had spent a lot of his life alone, so having people who were important to him nearby where he could be with them was a big deal. He loved his friends like family, and having gotten a second chance with his mother after losing his dad at such a young ate meant the universe to him. He considered himself lucky for that, despite everything else he'd been through.

"Yeah." Keith straightened up once they had finished, making sure they had everything set and ready to go for the trip back to town. "I understand. I've been alone before. It can be hard." He gave Kosmo a gentle pet on top of his head, the wolf giving a soft wag of his tail in response. "Perhaps you can share some of your holidays and traditions with some of the people here."
