[Open/Mingle] Wanna Be A Cowboy

[ziedrich_bearer]

WHO: Gladiolus, Open
WHERE: Network, Starduck, Sh'Ka, Where You Want
WHAT: A hunt arranged and executed
WHEN: Sometime In March
WARNINGS: N/A
NOTES: This is a Mingle Log, that means you can put your own TL posts up here, in fact, even Gladio's getting one. Use this space to interact with anyone else going on the trip (because large numbers of players at once in one thread is hard)

[Enjoy a video shot of Gladio as he's entering one of the ships, in full uniform, and with a stuffed pack over his shoulder. That will be the visual as Gladio walks through the ship to the cockpit. It is interesting to look at, though, given the beautiful wood-like paneling of the Starkduck.]

Hey. Just got back, more or less, from a train trip to Sh'Ka. Saw the weirdest shit there. There were these huge creatures, look a bit like Garulas from back home. Reason I'm mentioning it is because I haven't seen anything like them in Sh'Ka before.

Anyway, they look smaller, easier to take down than the Bunnyboars. And we need to restock the meat supplies, get all curing and drying and all that. And steaks. So, I'm going to take and pick out some of the herd. Definitely going hunting, but if they seem placid enough, maybe I'm going to try and bring some back too.

Could use some help. Anyone up for some wrangling like some proper Chocobros, help me herd some onto the Starduck to bring them in for easier handling, let me know. I'm going to be setting up the hold here for my aims for a few hours, so if you make it to the Starduck in the next two hours and you're equipped for a hunt and herding, you're welcome to join.

See you then.

Link looks over at Gladio, and blinks.

"You want to?" It's not an offer Link's used to getting. He's used to patching himself up - though, usually there isn't anyone else around to help in the first place.

[ziedrich_bearer]

"I'm used to doing it for people," Gladio says with a smile. "Grew up helping people with things like this too."

[newmemorywhodis]

Link hesitates for a moment, and it's not clear whether he'll accept. But then he lets the bandages he'd started wrapping go, and sticks out his leg so Gladio can have a go.

(He remembers Mipha healing him, once. Although that was with her power, and a very, very long time ago.)

[ziedrich_bearer]

Good to see the guy is trusting him. Gladio summons a rag from the Arminger to clean his hands before reaching out to take the bandages up so he could wrap that ankle.

"So you fought solo in the past."

[newmemorywhodis]

"Yes," Link says. Which is a hell of an understatement, really. Link presumes there might have been a time where he did fight alongside others - but that's a time he doesn't remember.

But other than the simple answer, Link doesn't elaborate. Just watches what Gladio does - especially with the Arminger. That looks interesting, and reminds him a bit of his sadly missing korok-enchanted pack...

[ziedrich_bearer]

"Well, here you've got backup if you need it."

And experienced at that, with how quickly and perfectly he gets that ankle wrapped.

"You need help getting the shoes back on?"

[newmemorywhodis]

Link shakes his head, before pulling his shoes back on, and tying up the laces. It's not hard to do at all - not now that Gladio's wrapped his ankle up properly.

"Thank you," he says, before standing up. Testing it out a bit. And then looking back at the herd of Bantha.

Maybe now can go run after one, and try to ride them...

[ziedrich_bearer]

Good. He smiles and rises before turning back to his own task.

"Go do what you're going to do. And remember, any progress you can get in making the herd head for the hangar is appreciated for our later work."

[newmemorywhodis]

Link nods, before saying, "Bye." And running off towards the herd, where he will indeed launch himself into to the back of one of the Bantha.

Will riding around on one for a while make it easier to herd them towards the hangar? Who knows. Link's gonna find out, either way.
