Fantasy Cursed Island

"Alright," Adran smiled and gave Erina a peck on the cheek, "I'll see you when you finish." He turned to head back to the table.

"So how are projects looking now?", Joanne asked.

"I'm still booked until at least the day after tomorrow," Jerry shook her head.

 

[Fangs9090]

Erina smiled as she glanced him before looking to her work again.


Niudisa nodded. "I'm still working. Processing certain things takes a bit of time."

 

[Darkling0096]

"I've finished my arrows," Adran shook his head, "I'm ready to move on when you guys are."

"Aren't you still training Asta, anyway?", Emfa raised an eyebrow.

"Training can happen on the road."

 

[Fangs9090]

Asta nodded. “I suppose that’s true. All we really need to train is our weapons, so it can be done anywhere.”

 

[Darkling0096]

"Then I guess we're just waiting on Niudisa and Jerry." Adran shrugged, "What are you two doing, anyway?"

"Shuffle gave me some rainbow obsidian, so I'm working with that, I'm making my stylus not tear up my hand to use, and I've got an arrangement with Asta for tomorrow evening," Jerry shrugged, "And I'd also rather not the dragon turtle hatch and roll off the cart in the middle of a fight."

 

[Fangs9090]

Niudisa glanced towards her workstation. "I'm working on a regen potion. It should allow for extremely fast healing and possibly even growing back limbs. Feathers aren't exactly soluble though, so it's taking a bit to get the pure essence. And I don't think I'll be able to make a whole lot of this potion, so unless we have a spare bottomless flask, it'll have to be for emergencies only."

 

[Darkling0096]

"I think Veo's pseudo-bottomless for her healing potion would be pretty good for that," Jerry offered. Veo was nowhere to be seen, having vanished with Emil, so she couldn't comment on that. But considering the minotaur's fixation on keeping the group alive she'd probably jump at the chance to have at her disposal. "Actually... There were three we found, I've distributed two, Veo's potion and the translator potion for Raine and Lyak. There's one more left."

 

[Fangs9090]

Niudisa nodded. "That should do. If anyone knows where that one is, leave on my work table."

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry nodded, "I'll dig it out after dinner."

 

[Fangs9090]

"Good." Niudisa went quiet for a moment as she kept eating before looking around. "Some of you look different..."

 

[Darkling0096]

"Veo has been offering to do people's hair," Beri gave a cat shrug when he looked up from his bowl, "She has been making rounds."

 

[Fangs9090]

"Ah, that's what it is. It's a change from the usual dungeon look."

Shuffle smiled. "I like it! I think everyone should do it."

 

[Darkling0096]

"That's cute," Jerry smiled and reached over to ruffle Shuffle's hair, and opted instead to pat her on the back.

"I do not see how it will aid our-"

"Joanne, you've been outvoted," Adran chuckled.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle looked over at Adran. "You'll look good with a braid!"

Niudisa nearly choked on her food as she imagined that. Then she actually did choke when she imagined a tiny bit of braided hair on top of Beri's head.

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran shook his head, "My hair's too short for a good braid." Not that he'd be caught dead with one. He glanced over at Jerry's smiling mug, "What about you, dragon girl?" Jerry choked on her drink.

 

[Fangs9090]

Shuffle kept smiling. "Yeah, Jerry would look good, too!"

Raine spoke up. "I'm thinking Shuffle would think anyone would look good with a braid."

Niudisa, still recovering, managed to choke out Beri's name, to which Shuffle brightened at the idea.

 

[Darkling0096]

After almost spraying tea all over the table through her nose, Jerry managed to get control of herself, "That's not a good idea," she shook her head, "I- actually I did keep parts of my hair braided when I first got in here." She paused, "Maybe."

Beri, sensing something bad for him was about to happen, left the table.

 

[Fangs9090]

Corona spoke up. "Maybe just a touch up then. You could probably make a request."

Shuffle looked around, but she saw that neither Beri nor Veo were at the table, so she just kept on eating.

 

[Darkling0096]

Jerry nodded, "Maybe."

Inside Veo and Emil's tent, Veo had passed out alseep during the massage, and probably wouldn't be taking reuests for a bit.

 

[Fangs9090]

Emil kept the massage going a little longer after he noticed she was sleeping before he stopped. He quietly stepped out to fetch a plate for them both.

 

[Darkling0096]

"Oh, hey, Emil," Adran nodded to the bard as he appeared, "We were just discussing Veo's hair styling."

 

[Fangs9090]

Emil nodded. "I saw she was doing that. She's taking a nap now, so I came to get some food in case she wakes up soon."

 

[Darkling0096]

"There's plenty to go around," Jerry gestured to the spread, "Help yourselves."

 

[Fangs9090]

Emil nodded and got a plate of fruits and other non-meat items before excusing himself and heading back to his tent.

 

[Darkling0096]

Adran shook his head, "Anyway," he glanced around the table, "Erina's adopted a baby hydra."

"We know," most of the table knew, they weren't entirely out of the loop.
