Futuristic ARK: Survival of the Fittest (Closed)

"Mnng," Anna shifted around a bit so she was facing Roan, "You're a real pain to argue with, you know?"

Jack reached over Vera to put out the light, "I'm just glad you're okay." He settled down and drew the blankets up over them. "Good night," he said with a smile as he put an arm over Vera to hold her close, settling down to sleep.

 

[Silverwings]

Roan chuckled softly, "I'm not letting you win this arguement."

"Good night," She returned as she began to drift off into sleep.

 

[Darkling0096]

"Asshole," Anna grumbled, giving Roan a playful jab to the shoulder

 

[Silverwings]

"I can live with that." He said, kissing her head, "get some sleep."

 

[Darkling0096]

Anna grumbled, but eventually did go to sleep.

------------

Morning came, and with it the loud baying of parasaurs as the argies took matters into their own hands to get food dove down to grab the defenseless animals and dropped them from great heights.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera yawned and groaned as the commotion outside woke her up, "What now? Don't we ever get a break?"

Meanwhile, Roan did what he could to keep the noise from reaching Anna, covering her ears and holding her nice and close. This meant little sleep for him, but he didn't mind much. She needed the rest with her healing injury, so he would happily take the lake of sleep for her.

 

[Darkling0096]

"Dammit," Jack grumbled, "Can we get five minutes without shit going down?" He got up and grabbed his crossbow, walking out of the hut with no pants on to go shout at the birds. "HEY!" He whistled sharply at the birds to get their attention, but they only looked at him as if to dare him to do something as they stripped meat from their catches.

"I could have sworn there was meat in the trough," Jack grumbled as he went back inside. "Damn birds."

"Mmm," Anna murmured a bit as she snuggled into Roan. He was warm, and she liked the feeling of being held. "Five more minu...", she trailed off as she mumbled in her sleep.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera rubbed her eyes and moved to get their fire going again, as it had gone out in the night. The lingering drowsiness from her interrupted sleep made her actions slow and sloppy, "Its too early..."

Roan chuckled and kissed Anna's forehead, "Ok. Five more minutes."

 

[Darkling0096]

"It's always too early," Jack grumbled, finding pants before he joined Vera at the fire to warm up. "God, it's cold, it's like we're still up north," he shook his head and scooted close to Vera to warm up.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera nodded, "Bitter morning. Must be the air off the sea water keeping this place cool."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Probably," Jack shuddered a bit, "At least we've got each other to keep warm."

 

[Silverwings]

Vera smiled, "I'm glad. I wouldn't want it any other way."

 

[Darkling0096]

Jack chuckled as he put an arm around Vera. "We'll get it eventually." Another mammoth to get wood, a doedi for stone. Once they made saddles, they could take the argents up to the mountains to set up an area for refining metal. "Until then," he looked at Vera and patted her thigh, "We might as well enjoy what we do have."

 

[Silverwings]

Vera nodded, "May take a while but for now I'm just happy to be with you."

She closed her eyes, letting them rest a bit as she thought. They could focus on a house. Now that the boat house was ruled out as a bad idea, they could build something else. Something spacious enough with a kitchen and bathroom like they had planned.

 

[Darkling0096]

"Mm," Jack put a kiss on Vera while her eyes were closed, "Well, we can be happy inside, where it's warm." And where they could cuddle. There was food in the troughs, the animals would be fine. Nike spent most of the time curled up next to the hut, anyway, and the herbivores weren't as active as the carnivores.

"Sommin..." Anna sneezed in her sleep, the jolt waking her up, "Wha..."

 

[Silverwings]

"Since the boat house seems to be less of a good idea than we had hoped, maybe we can build something else?" Vera suggested tiredly.

"Morning," Roan said with a soft chuckle, "Your sneeze is cute."

 

[Darkling0096]

"We'll figure that out later," Jack promised, "Let's just rest, we can plan again when we're all woken up again."

"Nnn," Anna grumbled as she rubbed her nose, "Stop calling me cute..."

 

[Silverwings]

"Sounds goo..." She said as she drifted off into sleep.

Roan chuckled, "Sure.. when you stop being cute."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Oh dear," Jack sighed, she really was tired, huh? He smiled as he looped his other arm under her legs to pick her up bridal style, and carried her back to bed. "Sleep well, Kitty," he said as he drew the cover back over her.

Anna looked away, "Meanie." She looked down at the bandages her her leg, "Is it looking any better?" Under the bandages, the hole was closed over, but still looked red and swollen.

 

[Silverwings]

In her sleep, Vera cuddled close to Jack, using him as a pillow.

Roan took a look at the injury, "Better. It's a little swollen but otherwise it looks like it's better than it was."

 

[Darkling0096]

A bit of color rose to Anna's face as she felt Roan's hand probe the area around the injury, "That's good," Anna squeaked, "That means I can do stuff with that leg again."

 

[Silverwings]

"As long as it doesn't hurt.." Roan agreed, "Otherwise I think you should rest.. how come it's always your leg?"

He chuckled a bit, "It was your leg you broke last time too. Remember?"

 

[Darkling0096]

"I don't know," Anna shrugged, "Universe likes keeping me on my butt, I guess." At least there was no shortage of padding there to sit on, anyway.

 

[Silverwings]

"Maybe it's life telling you to take it easy," He joked, "But you're too stubborn to let thst happen. You're hard working and full of spanking. I like that about yoh."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Well life needs to stop trying to put me on my ass by hurting my butt," Anna grumbled, "I don't like it!"
