Llama 22, Evening, Voice

[fivemilesdeep]

[Ryo gets on the ICPs the evening of the visit to the Nexus with a warning - better to share what he's learned than to let someone get hurt, even if the implications are...a little embarrassing.]

Be careful with the nectar pods if you eat them - the glowing liquid doesn't come off without a few good washes, and evidently it attracts one of the really big fish out there. Don't get any on you if you don't want to get...well, eaten.

Though if anyone wants to try to snare one of those fish, I...have bait you can use.

[Guess who painted glow in the dark designs on his hoodie because he was having fun. Guess who was lucky enough to get a warning before anything had the chance to snap him up. Guess.]

I do plan on going out and gathering more of the plants tomorrow to help with our food stores, if anyone with an arms band or another means of storage wants to join me.

Did you get to touch one? I want to touch one.

They're so majestic. I understand they attempt to murder and devour but they're big and adorable.

[fivemilesdeep]

...no? The way the people here talked about it, most people don't survive running into them. I wouldn't recommend it.

[sciencegirl]

Most people....

I wonder I someone incredibly strong could.

[Need to ask Trunks if he can get her horrible monstrous animal petting data.]

Okay I need to go back out there and take scans of the giant fish.

[fivemilesdeep]

[He's long since realized that some people on the train will get themselves into trouble regardless of what he does, and the best he can do is adequately prepare them.]

Don't go out there on your own, and if you want to get close to one, try baiting a snare trap with something covered in the glowing just don't get it on yourself.

And be careful.

[katzenpfote]

I can help with gathering food. As long as you are not allergic to cats?

[fivemilesdeep]

Thank you. And I'm not - is one of the cats on board yours?

[katzenpfote]

Sort of. I just summoned him again when we got here.

[fivemilesdeep]

...you summoned a cat.

I KNEW IT! I KNEW THOSE THINGS WERE EVIL! NOTHING GOOD CAN EVER COME FROM THE OCEAN!

[ della plz. ]

[fivemilesdeep]

[...UM]

I don't think they're evil, just...hungry.

Are you okay?

[sos_pilot]

What? I'm fine. I'm totally fine... We're in a gross world, surrounded by gross things, twenty-four seven, THIS IS FINE.

[fivemilesdeep]

[...yeah she's not fine.]

It's only for a few days.

Can you find something you like about it in the meantime? Maybe focus on that?

[sirentologist]

Oooo could we use it to lure one in for study? I wonder if the pods could be used for other things? Oh, could they be weaponized?

[SO MUCH SCIENCE]

[fivemilesdeep]

[Boy that is a lot all at once.]

Maybe, possibly, and they're edible and taste like apple pie, so they're probably better off as food instead of weapons?

[sirentologist]

If the fish eat things coated in that nectar, that can be incredibly useful. As a weapon. [Do keep up.]

[fivemilesdeep]

...a weapon we can't take with us on a world with nothing to fight.

They're better off as food.

[morganizedchaos]

Bring whatever you catch back on board and I'll get something figured out with it. I'm sitting this one out, the weird water-air thing isn't treating me well.

[So he's got a lot of downtime in the kitchen, is what he's saying.]

[fivemilesdeep]

Okay. I'll spread the word.

Are you feeling alright?

[morganizedchaos]

Oh, I'm fine, it's just that swimming and I don't mix, and this place isn't that far off.

[Ghost shrugs on the video.]

It's not anything anyone can do anything about, so don't add it to your list of worries.

[jingyeets]

What about hunting down the tasty big ones?

( why someone from a vegetarian sect is asking about hunting GIANT FISH from the sky has more to do with supplies and his own enjoyment of meat than anything else, but shh. he did ask for permission! )

[fivemilesdeep]

Like I said, I have bait. Just be careful.

[jingyeets]

Right, right, bait isn't what I'm worried about but—wait, which big fish does your bait work on? I heard mention of the uh... uh.................... Pollums? Pollens. Pollams? Polearms?

[calmness]

I have an expanding pouch and can assist with gathering food.

And how many washes are adequate? [Whoops.]

[fivemilesdeep]

That would be great - thank you!

And a few - the monks did give me a recipe to help, though I think we'd need to gather more ingredients. Is it on your clothes or on your skin?

[calmness]

I am happy to assist.

I will gladly search for the ingredients as well. It would be good to have in case others get this on them. Fortunately, on my clothes. [but when he checks again-- ] And a small amount on my ankle.
