Fantasy Cursed Island

"Okay," Nyah nodded and pointed to the breakfast table, "Go sit down and get ready to eat, I've got something to take care of." She floated back towards Nuidisa's table tos ee what the fairy wanted.

Adran chuckled a bit, patting Erina's arm, "It's definitely a beautiful sight to wake up next to." He leaned over to give the arachne a kiss on the forehead before looking at his time rock and getting up. "I've gotta go feed everyone, you want anything special?"

"Good," Veo smiled and put an arm across Emil's shoulders, "Is your 'Muse' in the room with us?"

Jerry gave a happy little noise in her sleep and huddled up more curled into the crook of Asta's side and the bed, stirring a bit as her tail brushed across Asta's waist.

“Hey, I didn’t get a chance to tell you yesterday with Emil’s episode, but I think I figured out what’s up with Shuffle. She eats pretty much anything, including blood which makes her transform within moments. So her stomach processes food way faster than normal, and a side effect of that is that it basically makes the fruit ferment in her stomach.”

Erina shook her head as she sat up. “No, I’m not picky.”

Emil glanced around. “Hm, no, she’s not.”

Asta smiled at her, holding her close.

 

[Darkling0096]

Nyah frowned, "So she can't eat anything that can be fermented into alcohol?"

"Alright," Adran nodded, "There's a dial on the collar if you want to turn back, turn it till it clicks, same eight hour cooldown." He got dressed and left the tent to go feed everyone.

"Good," Veo nodded as she started to dress for the day. "I hope it stays that way."

 

[Fangs9090]

"She can. But if she eats too much of it, she'll get wasted again. So she can have an occasional fruit, just not a whole bunch. I think she prefers meat anyway."

Erina nodded, stretching out before she stood up. She made sure she had plenty of space before fiddling with the dial.

Emil stifled a sigh. He hoped they'd be able to get along eventually, even if they couldn't directly interact.

 

[Darkling0096]

Nyah nodded, "Very little fruit if any, anything that can become alcohol is to be avoided." She nodded, she could manage that, probably.

"Good morning everyone," Adran called as he exited the tent while Erina felt the drain on her mana and returned to to her true form. "Hope everyone's hungry!" He made his way to the table to start summoning breakfast.

"Something wrong?", Veo asked, her hearing wasn't as good as Emil's but it was definitely better than a human's, and even Joanne would have heard the stifle in this tent.

 

[Fangs9090]

"If you say so. I just figured you'd want to know, so now you know."

Shuffle looked over at Adran and raised her hand. "I am!"

Erina took a few moments to appreciate her true form before heading on after Adran.

Emil looked at her. "No... Well... I just hope you can come to trust her eventually. She didn't mean anyone harm, and she's definitely not going to get between us."

 

[Darkling0096]

Nyah nodded and returned to the table as Adran summoned a full spread for breakfast. "Good, because I'm in a good mood and that makes everything taste better," Adran nodded as the breakfast table filled up with hungry diners.

"Emil," Veo rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, "The first thing she did is make me think you'd died. I don't trust her, and I don't think I ever will."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle blinked. “Really?” She didn’t wait for an answer before digging in, grabbing whatever food was closest.

Emil nodded. “I know. I can still hope.” He got up out of bed and stretched before getting his vest.

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran smiled at Shuffles antics and started filling a plate for Erina, turning around to find she'd already joined them. "I didn't think you'd get up yet," he paused, "i was going to bring you breakfast in bed."

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina looked at the food in his hands. "Oh? I figured I shouldn't lay about too long. I can go back, if you prefer."

 

[Darkling0096]

"No, you're already up," Adran feigned sadness as he offered the plate to her, before giving her a peck on the cheek, "It's fine, just eat, didn't you say you had work today?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina smiled at him as she took the plate. "Yes, yes. Thank you, for the thought." She settled at her table and started eating.

Shuffle was watching.

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran smiled and filled his own plate. "So, who volunteers to go wake Jerry this morning?"

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle raised her hand, always eager. "I can do it!"

 

[Darkling0096]

"Okay," Adran pointed at Jerry's tent. "I need her to identify stuff when she gets woken up." The door to Jerry's tent was of course still bolted and locked, so Shuffle wouldn't have much luck getting in, but she might make a lot of noise inside doing so.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle nodded and took one more bite before hopping down and running over to the tent. It took her no time at all to figure out it was locked, but that didn't stop her from trying anyway.

 

[Darkling0096]

Inside the tent, Shuffle trying to get in was making some noise that Asta could hear easily. It was starting to wake Jerry up too, all the thudding and scrabbling at the door.

 

[Fangs9090]

Asta waited for a few moments in hopes it would stop, but when it was clear that Shuffle at the door, he sighed. "Jerry, I think it's time to get up..."

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry groaned as she woke up, stretching wings and arms and yawning before she sat up and rubbed her eyes sleepily, "What time is it?"

 

[Fangs9090]

“I don’t know, but it sounds like someone is trying to get in, so the others must be awake already.”

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry groaned and got up and out of bed, stretching and yawning again before going to undo the locks on the door and opening it. "What?", she did not sound happy.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle paused as Jerry opened up. She almost forgot why she was bothering them. “Time to eat! Oh, and Adran wants you to look at something.”

Asta got up after Jerry, stretching once he was on his feet.

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry groaned and reached down to pick up Poli, "I'll be out in a minute." She closed the door on Shuffle and turned back to Asta, "Breakfast," she gave a smile. "Poli, you know what to do."

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle tilted her head before heading back to the food table. She figured that was a success.

“Right.” Poli formed up the bodysuit around Jerry.

Asta put his hand on his collar, but he didn’t turn it just yet. “Mmm...”

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran congratulated Shuffle on a job well done and gave her a high-five when she returned to the table.

"What is it?", Jerry asked as she adjusted her hair. She'd kill for a hairbrush right now.
