[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.

"Alright cooked up a skewer from the first one I butchered. If I survive, you'll know it's edible. But tough, but tastes good."

Probably be better to chop the thing up and stew it, but he was happy.

"There is a lot of fur though. Hell of a thing to deal with."

[tempredmental]

Keith nodded.

"More fur than substance? Or are they big enough to be worth the effort?"

Though........

"The fur could probably be useful, too, though... anyone good with like weaving and stuff might be able to use it."

[ziedrich_bearer]

"Definitely big enough," he says with a smile.

Though the idea of the fur being useful bemuses him.

"We just sold thst atuff back home."

[tempredmental]

"Well, yeah." Keith shrugged a little. "I mean, it's only useful to people who can use it. No point in keeping it if you can't use it. But there are people here who can, right? So, we could bring it back to town for them. Maybe herd a few of these, and like... cut the hair off seasonally or something. Like they do with sheep." Though, he looked at the herd down there again.

"If we can actually herd them..."

[ziedrich_bearer]

HUh, sounds interesting.

"You know anyone around here who does that? Works fiber craft or whatever?"

Still, herding them would be a thing. Hopefully there's someone around who is good at that. Little does Gladio know that's going to be him soon enough.

[tempredmental]

"Yeah... her name is Lark." Keith nodded. "She does some magic with it, too."

Oh, Gladio... looks like you've picked up a new job. Keith had no idea how to do any of that.

[ziedrich_bearer]

Huh, that sounds weird, but he'll shrug that off.

"I'll see if I can find it."

That said, he was never going to intend to take care of the things. No, he was going to get roped into it by his boyfriend.

[tempredmental]

Keith nodded.

"Alright. I can let her know, too, next time I see her... see if she's interested in working with it."

[ziedrich_bearer]

"Alright," Gladio says with a nod. It sounds like a plan actually. "We'll see about it. Maybe there will be clothes."

[tempredmental]

"Yeah. We could definitely use a stronger supply of that stuff around here... blankets, clothes, all that stuff."

Keith looked over the herd again. They seemed pretty docile for now.

"When do we want to consider trying to move them closer to town?"

[ziedrich_bearer]

"I intend to see about herding them to the livestock nursery once we get back to town. Will take some doing but we'll manage. Figure maybe they'll get on with the glownies. And I saw some space there for larger creatures."

HE doesn't know the herd broke out of there before.

[tempredmental]

Keith nodded.

"Alright. I'll help with the herding if you need it. Let me know."

The creatures were big, but Keith was pretty sure a large teleporting wolf could probably get them to move.

"Thanks man," Gladio says with a smile before pushing to his feet. "I should get back to the cockpit, to watch things a bit closer.
