Futuristic ARK: Survival of the Fittest (Closed)

[Silverwings]

"Sure," He answered, getting up to make a few more of the combs, "Here. If you do it slower it hurts less."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Thank you," Anna smiled and looked at the comb, giving that a shot. She paused halfway through a stroke, "I think this is the weirdest way we've spent a night."

 

[Silverwings]

"Really? Even weirder than under a dinosaur?" Vera giggled as she worked on her own hair, "Its not so bad. Though I kind of wish I could wash it."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Hey, we tame stuff all the time," Anna gestured to the growing number of dinos in the camp, "That's normal. This..." She gestured to the comb, "I'm not even sure we're supposed to be able to do to this."

"As opposed to what?", Jack asked, returning with a rough but not uneven trim. "Also I've gotta build pens for the dinos tomorrow." He wasn't sure what he was gonna do for the birds, but he knew the raptor stable and para pen, at least.

 

[Silverwings]

"I cant imagine our hair would grow this long if we weren't meant to care for it." Vera pointed out.

 

[Darkling0096]

"But with what?", Anna asked, "Sure these combs work for untangling it, but you complained about not being able to wash it. You can take a bath, there's water, and that you didn't think that counted as washing your hair proves that it's not something we're normally supposed to do."

"Define normal," Jack shrugged.

 

[Silverwings]

"Normal isn't interchangeable with Natural," Roan said as he continued to comb his hair, Just doing it now to feel his hair.

 

[Darkling0096]

"Yeah," Jack nodded at Roan, "I mean, nothing else makes tools, I haven't seen these things just lying around, they can't be natural, but we can do that."

"You were just refusing to comb your hair because it would be more work than hacking it off," Anna shook her head.

"And you're over here complaining about- you know what? Never mind." Jack shook his head and stood up, "Get some rest, tomorrow you three are going hunting and I'm still building, so we've got stuff to prepare for."

 

[Silverwings]

"Good night," Vera called as Jack went into his tent. Roan shook his head, "Maybe we can make a concoction to clean out hair."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Or just... comb it through while you're in water?", Anna asked. They could probably make something to help clean hair, but that was something they didn't have and didn't know how to make.

 

[Silverwings]

"Maybe," Roan shrugged, "Guess we will see."

 

[Darkling0096]

Anna nodded, then got up, "I guess I'll see you guys in the morning." She left her plate by the fire and went to the women's hut to go to bed.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera nodded, joining the other woman, "Night Roan!"

"Good night," He replied and made his way to bed.

 

[Darkling0096]

Morning came with the buzzing of implants, all around levels were happening. Jack groaned as he woke, apparently taking a hatchet to your hair wasn't as easy as he'd made it seem, the thunking against the smithy had made him wake up with a headache. "God-dammit," He opened his implant to make it shut up and then tried to roll back over and go back to sleep.

Anna, when she woke, immediately started putting points into Fortitude, and unlocking engrams before she even got out of bed.

 

[Silverwings]

Roan woke to the sound of his implant and groaned, wanting more sleep of his own. Glancing at the implant, the man rolled over, going back to sleep. He would assign points later.

Vera yawned and looked at her implant, assigning points to fortitude, "Morning!"

 

[Darkling0096]

"Mornin'," Anna nodded and got up out of bed. Once straightened, her bedhead was a disaster. "Is hair supposed to do that?"

 

[Silverwings]

"Maybe you should comb it." Vera suggested, doing the same to her own hair.

 

[Darkling0096]

"Yeah," Anna sighed and fished out her comb, "Normally one of the guys is trying to wake us up by now."

 

[Silverwings]

"Maybe they're just tired, " Vera shrugged, "Or they're letting us sleep. "

 

[Darkling0096]

Anna rolled her eyes, "I'll start working on breakfast." She headed out of the hut to get to work on that, trying not to wake up Meatloaf. Over by the raptors, there were a pair of eggs sitting near Gaia and Cherry's sleeping place.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera finished combing her hair and followed the other outside. With a quick look around, she took notice of the eggs and looked at Anna, "Hey, Whats the raptors got?"

 

[Darkling0096]

"I dunno," Anna looked over at the raptors, "It doesn't look like poop." That was the usual product to appear in the mornings, "See what the implant tells you it is."

 

[Silverwings]

Vera walked over and read the tag, "Raptor eggs?"

 

[Darkling0096]

"Raptor eggs?" Anna looked just as confused for a moment before realization dawned on her face, "Oh! Roan and I were talking about breeding the raptors back at the fort! but we decided not to, cuz we didn't have the resources." Then she frowned, "But the raptors did it anyway."

 

[Silverwings]

"I guess its only natural," Vera shrugged, "But hey, were gonna have baby raptors!"
