"Action"

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

[Today, now that the snow has somewhat cleared up in the Orchards, people out there looking for food might stumble across Signum apparently taking an uncharacteristic nap under a tree.]

[If you look closer, she has a fishing pole propped up nearby where she can hear any movement of the line by a fish - she decided to provide some fish for dinner tonight. Trout, if she can catch it, since you don't really get those in Japan or Midchilda.]

[That's not the whole story behind her closed eyes and unusually relaxed posture, though. She's meditating, in a sense, trying to feel the magic that's being used to maintain and continue to create this place. She's no expert on the mystical side of the arts she uses, but lacking anything further in this place to give mere visual reconnaissance, she's decided to attempt focusing more on different places in particular, feeling the flow of mana and leylines, with the vague fuzziness of living things with Linker Cores wandering around her, including the almost nonexistant little phantoms of the dumb fish that were ignoring her bait.]

[Naturally, anyone concentrating this much is just asking to be bothered.]

I have a couple of extra senses, but I could hear where you were standing and guessed you were either trying to be helpful, or steal my fishing pole. And you walk far too loud to be a thief.

A-ah...

*that's a relief, she's not sure what kind of stuff a mind reader would pick up from her and she wouldn't want to find out*

Though, who'd want to steal a fishing pole in this place?

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

People who didn't think ahead or don't know how to make one, I suppose.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I guess so.

... I don't really know how to make one, either, but it's easier to just use the room service instead of trying to catch something.

Aside from being something to do, I don't entirely trust the familiars here. And at any rate, Hayate cooks better than whomever they get their food from.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

I guess that's a good point. I can cook, but... the only fishing and hunting I know how to do is in a video game, s-so... yeah.

... though, the people in charge seem nice enough that they wouldn't want to do anything weird with our food. Even if they brought us here against our will...

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Nice in the same way that a stalker is nice to her victim.

...there are video games of hunting and fishing?

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

A-ah... I guess you have a point there...

Yeah. I usually don't play games that are just about that, though. But there are a few games that have them as mini-games.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Never quite understood why you'd play a game about something menial rather than just doing it and actually accomplishing something.

Now, games about fantastic violence or impossible puzzles or whatever, wasting time on those makes some small amount of sense.

[yakuza-otaku.livejournal.com]

There are games about farming, even.

I-it may not sound that great, but they're surprisingly fun, actually.
