Who: Himeka, Nebula, Rocket...& you?? When: July Where: Tertiary Settlement What: QUESTIN'! And then an open seafood BBQ thread to others in Solvunn in the area Warnings: They're idiots, but they're doing their best
[ Yeah, Rocket's still not overly fond of gods, not unless he can count himself among them — and even then, it ain't about the godhood but the stuff he can do as a god. He can do without the added responsibility, and he can definitely do without the spawn that come from failing to do a good job as a god.
But after all the shit that happened and being stuck underground and overhearing the repeated chants of prayers from those trapped with them, and after the goddamned goats spouting out a whole lot of godly nonsense, he's equally as ready to start hitting something — and for a good cause too. ]
I got a whole ass bag full of 'em. I left the bigger ones out today, on account of ... you know, not wanting to blow the settlements up. But I still got a ton of leftover grenades from last mingle.
[ They're simple but effective, using all manner of resource that Solvunn has to offer, so they're certainly not to Rocket's usual craftsmanship. They're still damned good though.
He fishes a couple out and passes them over to Nebula. ]
[ The fact that the plan thus far is to lure the leviathans away from the harbor and then throw a bunch of explosives at them should be concerning, but it's really fairly par for the course. Besides, Himeka trusts Rocket and Nebula's aim to be true, which is why she suggests... ]
Okay, then I can hop in and act as live bait, then.
[ She stops at the edge of one dock, putting a hand up to her eye and scanning the horizon. ]
Let's see, any sign of a mass of fish or something dark looming beneath the surface...
[ She won't ever not be grateful for Rocket's preparedness - and pyrotechnics - even if it means he often carries an alarming amount of could be nuclear bombs at times. It's why the question is less a real do you and ascertaining it, giving a short nod as she wordlessly takes the offered items. In this way there is no need to speak - ]
[ - Her attention snaps to Himeka after a quick glance at what she now holds. Mouth twitching at the thought of going you're not bite, but maybe it does make the most sense. ]
Just make sure to move out of the way when someone says something.
[ Stiffly. She'd like to say she sounds less like she cares than she does, but she knows she does sound it. She tries not to mind. Fingers shifting to feel the weight of the spear instead as she considers: ]
Or any place the fishermen are too afraid to go now.
[ Mumbled. ] We still need a boat to get out there. Do they like one of you two enough to risk their livelihoods?
[ Do ... the locals like him enough? Well, they don't hate him, which is always a plus. And their offers of free meals and drink and sometimes the offer to mend his clothing and save some of the metal scraps they come across might maybe be a sign that they probably feel like they owe him for the times he's helped fix their farms or wrangle their livestock so ... like might be a strong word, but he's sure they'd be amenable to one thing at least. ]
We could always just take — uh, borrow — one of their boats on our own. We ain't need to put anyone else in danger.
