(@Beowulf, @The J - You guys here?)

She looked at herself then at the plate of food.


"Well..I'm eating...and I'm excited for movie night!"


Caitlyn wouldn't give up until everyone knew about the movie night.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Yeah, we sure are." He served up some soup for Hunter and put it down in front of her alongside some sliced bread. He smiled and then sat next to Caitlyn after plating up some nuggets of his own. ".. So, in preparation, me and Cait are gonna' be getting an early night so we're ready for tomorrow. You gonna' join us on that, Hunt?" He asked with a smile. (@DryPunishment, @Soul OMU)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

Hunter sighs softly. "I don't know Alex.." she said softly while taking a small sip of soup while looking down, holding her stomach lightly with her free hand. (@DryPunishment)

 

[DrTrollinski]

Alex sighed a little as he set a hand down on Caitlyn's head while looking at Hunter. ".. Come on, honey... Just one movie night. Caitlyn wants you there with us." He smiled warmly at her. (@DryPunishment, @Soul OMU)


 
(@AvidElmV2 - You here?)


 

The next morning, surprisingly, Daniel was up first. The only reason he was up first was because he needed to pee, though. He disappeared behind a tree that was close to the camp and did what he needed to do - he made sure he had his bow with him, though. He saw that bugs had swarmed the remainder of the deer carcass, which was never a good sign. They really needed to go into town and get some cooler boxes to store meat in, at least that would help them preserve food for a little while longer. He frowned as he went up and drag the deer's carcass as far away from sigh as he could manage. It was a fair distance away, so at least they couldn't smell anything, and anything that came hunting for it would be lured away from the camp. While he was walking back, he saw a rabbit simply hopping a few feet and then stopping - awesome. This was his chance to catch breakfast for everyone. He slowly pulled out his bow, nocked an arrow, and then crouched down - he pulled the arrow back, took a deep breath, and then fired it.


He hit it.


It went straight through its body and went to the ground. Dead. He smiled proudly and ran over and picked it up, swiping the arrow from it and carrying it back to camp where he lit the fire himself, and then skinned and gutted it. The fur would make a nice hat, for sure. Once it was all gutted, he got a part of his mess kit - a frying pan - and started heating it on the fire. He prepared the rabbit for cooking, but decided that he'd wait for the others to get up before he started cooking it. (@Beowulf, @The J)

Caitlyn kept silent as Alex asked Hunter to participate in the movie night.


After moments of silence she said.


"You don't really need to be there if you don't want to. We can watch The Lord of The Rings just the two of us..."

Hunter sighs softly. "I'll see how i'm feeling alright?" she said softly while slowly eating her soup. (@DryPunishment)

 

[DrTrollinski]

Alex kept his smile up as best as he could as he ran his hand down onto Caitlyn's shoulder and gently squeezed it whilst running his thumb over the front of it. He really was hoping that she wouldn't be too upset by that - Hunter hadn't said no just yet, but you know what kids can be like. With a almost silent sigh he ate a little more of his food.


".. I can... Get some popcorn for tomorrow as well, Cait... How does that sound...?" He asked her, a little hesitantly. (@DryPunishment, @Soul OMU)

 

[DrCompton]

Tom smiled and rubbed Scarlet's shoulder again as they continued to the movie, popping some popcorn into his mouth.

A sudden and totally awesome idea jumped straight into Carl's head and he grinned in though. ".. Daddy, Scarlet... Can we have hot chocolate?" He asked with a hopeful look on his face as he shoved a few M&M's into his mouth. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)

 

[Aldur]

"Popcorn? For realsies?"


She couldn't believe her ears. It's been some time since she ate something like that.


Caitlyn seemed to brighten up a little. Many days have passed since she last had popcorn.

 

[DrTrollinski]

"You bet, but if you want extra popcorn, you need to get off to bed for an early night." He grinned at her and gently jabbed her side to tickle her. It wouldn't have hurt her, though. "You let me know when you're done eating and we'll get you off to bed." He said softly as he picked up his plate and walked over to the sink and placed it down in the basin. He'd wash up once Caitlyn was off to bed. (@Soul OMU, @DryPunishment)

 

[Aldur]

She immiediately put her dish in the sink and ran up upstairs to change.


"I'm gonna change!"


@DrTrollinski (I think this categorizes as my last post.)

 

[Soviet Panda]

(And I'm here. For about three hours anyway. @DrTrollinski )

 

[DrTrollinski]

(@Beowulf - Alright, I posted.)

At the smell of cooking meat, Connor was up and about in no time. When he saw Daniel cooking, he felt a bit prideful. He had hunted the hare and cooked it using what he had taught him. Maybe that was how teachers felt. "Morning. What you got me for berakfast?"


(@DrTrollinski )

 

[DrTrollinski]

".. I caught a rabbit for us all today." He looked over his shoulder and smiled at him as he flipped some of the meat that was in the pan. He knew that Conner was one of the people who got up earlier than the others, so so far he was cooking just enough for himself and him. ".. I skinned it and gutted it myself." He smiled again and took a deep breath in through his nose. It was a nice day again. (@Beowulf)

 

[Soviet Panda]

"I can see that much. I very much doubt it did it all for you." he said jokingly. Today was going to be a good day, perhaps that was a good sign. He planned to visit those "neighbors" of theirs.


(@DrTrollinski )

 

[DrTrollinski]

Daniel laughed a little and cooked the meat for a little while longer. It was by chance that he cooked it just right - not too burnt, not too raw. Just nice enough to have some succulence to it, as well as a air amount of flavor. He gave Conner a small metal plate that had one of the back legs on, and then he got his own plate with the second back leg. He sat down on the ground beside the fire and smiled at him after lifting the pan off of the heat.


".. It was nice to see my dad lookin' happier last night, right?" He said as he bit into the leg he'd made for himself. ".. We should tell funny stories like that more often at night. I know quite a lot." He smiled a little. (@Beowulf)

 

[Soviet Panda]

"And we might, we might." he said as he took a bite from the leg. "Good." he said through the mouthfull. 'Wonder who's going to watch after him?' he thought to himself. "You start thinking of a little something to say to us tonight. I expect to be laughing."


(@DrTrollinski )

 

[DrTrollinski]

"Yeah, I will." He smiled and looked around the forest. There were quite a lot of trees that seemed quite easy to climb, providing he didn't lose his footing and fall and break an arm or leg - that'd be bad. Dominic knew how to treat a broken bone if he had the right anesthesia and everything he needed to make a cast, but out here, they didn't have any of that. Breaking a bone would be bad news at any place like this, to be honest. The only way it could heal up would end up leaving it crooked regardless. ".. Am I gonna' be the one that stays here and watches the camp while you're gone?" He asked. "Is James going with you, too?" He asked in addition. (@Soul OMU, @Soul OMU, @DrCompton - In all seriousness, we're going to have to get things moving ASAP)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

(Sorry I was taking a nap darling. And DrC was away for a bit cuz he told me.)


Scarlet blinks. "Hot chocolate? Hm... I dunno buddy. It might keep you up all night." (@DrTrollinski)

 

[Soviet Panda]

"Perhaps. Probably." he amended. Guess his trust for that new kid had grown without him knowing it. But stll. "Make sure neither of you do anything stupid while we are gone."


(@DrTrollinski )

 

[DrTrollinski]

(Things would have been a lot easier if I had known that as well, guys @Soul OMU, @DrCompton)


"It won't, I promise... Let me have some, and then you can tuck me into bed after." He smiled at her. "Pleeeeeeaaaaase?" He asked as he leaned against her a little more. The movie was near enough over, anyway. (@Soul OMU, @DrCompton)

"Like what?" He asked cluelessly, eating some more of the rabbit. "What kinda stupid stuff could we do?" He asked. (@Beowulf)

 

[StarrySkyofLostSouls]

(Ehe, sorry.)
