Open Log
Who: Thrawn and You
What: Exploring and scavenging
When: Right after his arrival
Where The square, around the settlement, the forest
Warnings: None anticipated
The square
Thrawn was dressed in ceremonial white mixed with a makeshift bow strapped across his back, an equally makeshift canteen hanging from one shoulder, and a wicked-looking though also makeshift spear. All of that is juxtaposed with blue skin and glowing red eyes. He had not cut the sleeves off of his jacket yet but if the climate stayed humid he may be forced to.
At the moment that canteen strap was still hanging off one shoulder but instead, Thrawn held it as he bent over the fountain refilling it. It seemed to be the only source of water right now, so the first task would be finding another. Preferably one that wasn't also a common landmark. He also intended to find fruit in the forest and by its nature, it was more likely to be near a water source.
Around the settlement
Thrawn stopped to consider a sign with arrows pointing in many directions with symbols etched into it. Obviously, they are meant to be markers of some sort. But for what? They have arrived recently around the settlement so they are meant to aid. But who put them here and why such a varied group has been brought here in the first place is still mysterious to him. It's a good thing Thrawn enjoys solving mysteries.
Eventually, Thrawn left off puzzling over the sign and crossed what appeared to be a lot that was adjacent to an overgrown storefront. There had been several useful things inside of abandoned stores like these so Thrawn intended to look in all of them.
The forest
Focusing on the fruits and tubers that had been offered in the initial buffet proved to be a tall order. There was a great deal of vegetation - which helped to indicate local weather patterns - but the bag Altair had made only had a few of the rootlike vegetables in it. The sun was setting, but Thrawn seemed to be having no difficulty with the lengthening shadows.
He was charmed by plants that became more luminous as night fell. Some were glowing in different colors but the ones shaded a vibrant blue drew his attention. Following a tendril that was reaching up a different wide stem to where the tendril began and the plant it started with, led to some sort of natural well. Unfortunately, it was so choked with plants it wasn't accessible. But the glowing plant did lead to another plant with several hanging fruits, some ripe enough to pick.

Tommy had forgotten he'd been holding this. He frowns at it and then looks back at Thrawn, with a shrug.
"I mean, I meant to do it as long as was needed to fill the leaf. So, like, a second and then go back to water things."
no subject
"They must be close by if you are using that to water plants. Where then are you taking it?"
no subject
no subject
"I see. Well, you will find yourself making many trips to the fountain. Allow me to use this instead."
Thrawn held up the canteen by its strap.
no subject
"I don't know, I mean, unless that's like a canteen of holding, I think I've got this with my leaf. And Katara waterbends stuff there a lot. Though if you know how to repair plumbing..."
That would be super useful.
no subject
"In what way is it broken?"
Thrawn certainly wasn't a plumber, but the mechanics of pipeworks were certainly no mystery to him. If there was already an irrigation system in place it would so much easier to repair and use it. All of this meant he was going to have to be a plumber for a while.
no subject
"Sorry, I'm not smart with stuff like that. It just doesn't work. It's supposed to be automated or something. It doesn't run at all."
Could it be that there was FINALLY someone who could fix the irrigation? Tommy couldn't help how excited he was getting.
no subject
Thrawn was certainly not a plumber but one of the first tasks (which is really a chore and a filthy one at that) he was given to 'oversee' was the cleaning and inspection of the latrine pipes on the Blood Crow. He was not aware it was the end result of xenophobia run rampant through the Empire until Eli was outraged on his behalf because of it. It wasn't difficult to find the blueprints for the ship and locate the problem areas then fix them. Water flow for things like cooking and washing was part of that task, so he had at least a nominal understanding of pipeworks.
"Does the water come out as a trickle when it's first turned on or does it not come at all?"
no subject
"Doesn't come out at all, so far as I've noticed," Tommy admits with a brief shrug. "I mean, I know the day is super fucking insanely long, but I've been so busy working with the plants and carrying water that it's hard to say where the problem is. There's only certain sections we can manage, so..."
He doesn't know if the problem is in another section.
no subject
Thrawn looped the strap of the canteen over one shoulder again and gestured for Tommy to lead.
(( OOC: Since this now directly relates to this I'm not sure what to do? ))
