Lost Harbor
atlantis-mission
We return to the fourth night of survival in wherever we are, with most of the party reunited at camp. Jude is sick from a spider bite, and some of us are tending to her as best we can with limited medical supplies. For the rest, your preparations to see the night through must be in order as the hour grows late.

MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 21:32:36
:: glances over and shifts, putting Jude between them. She holds Navarro's hand, her arm still wrapped around Jude. She offers a warm smile, showing only a bit of worry--it'd be fine if no one was sick. ::

:: dusts herself off, still cursing in irritation at Iliahr's screech that dislodged her from her previous position. :: CMO/CSO/NAV: I'm fine.

:: trots in behind Kate, shutting the solid, weather-tight door behind them ::
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 08-Jan-2020 21:50:11

CEO: Can you get us there? ...As soon as Linxi is well enough to travel?
CMO Lt Tailor 08-Jan-2020 21:50:23

::Awakens from his upright sleeping position, reaching for his stick and finding his feet. Idly scratches his wrinkled body, with no shame, as he plods along.:: All: Good Morning, young ones.
CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:21:39
:: slips out of her pants again to keep them from getting wet when she wades across the river, quickly turning them into a head wrap instead to keep her hair out of her face ::
MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 22:22:32
:: comes upon the fishing site and starts stretching. She does something like a quick sun salutation before she reaches for the net so as not to pull anything. She tosses Wright one end of the net, as before, and tosses Grey the other before swinging back down from the tree. ::

CTO LtC Wolfe 08-Jan-2020 22:24:50

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 08-Jan-2020 22:25:14

CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:27:51

::Nods.:: CMO: I'm not used to normal sleep, I prefer to meditate. But searching for others, has taxed me somewhat. I believe I dreamt. ::Chuckles.::
NAV Lt Navarro 08-Jan-2020 22:30:11

CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:31:15

CMO Lt Tailor 08-Jan-2020 22:31:17

MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 22:38:38

XO Cdr Kuari 08-Jan-2020 22:39:31
ACTION> While dawn is a great time for fishing, over the course of the morning the net only manages to catch two fish by the time the sun has risen substantially.
NAV Lt Navarro 08-Jan-2020 22:40:28
CMO: That's good news.
CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:41:24
:: is supremely disappointed by their fishing haul :: MED: Well... it's enough for everyone to have half a filet, I suppose.
CO Capt Harper 08-Jan-2020 22:41:43

MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 22:41:55

:: wading back across the river with her end of the net :: MED: I imagine we should gut and cook them before we go.
MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 22:45:05
:: nods, waving as she keeps tugging at knots, huffing :: CSO: Yep! You can head back if you want, I'll be right behind you.
SCI LtJG Jude 08-Jan-2020 22:45:08
:: grunts as she sits up and stretches ::
NAV Lt Navarro 08-Jan-2020 22:45:14
:: chuckles :: SCI: Feeling better then, I take it?
CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:45:14
:: thirsty, gulps down another couple leaves of rainwater, trying to hydrate well for the journey knowing there is plenty for everyone and they can't take it with them.
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 08-Jan-2020 22:45:14
::Begins to follow the river downstream, listening to the various animals calls, and etheral echoes of their chaotic thoughts.

SCI LtJG Jude 08-Jan-2020 22:45:49
NAV: Lets say that I am not going to be fighting any alien spiders again.

NAV Lt Navarro 08-Jan-2020 22:46:04
SCI: That's good advice for anyone, really.

:: pushes herself up to her feet, limping after Ilaihr. ::
CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:48:21
:: begins quickly attempting to fashion some footwear out of some tree bark she found, some of the big leaves, and some leftover vines from the netmaking ::
CMO Lt Tailor 08-Jan-2020 22:49:46
::just chuckles, gathering up her things in preparation for the day's travel::
MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 22:50:13
:: comes back to camp with the net on her shoulder. She sets it down, going to check on Jude. She pulls Grey's slippers from where she hid them from the rain, offering them to Jude for the walk. ::
NAV Lt Navarro 08-Jan-2020 22:50:32

XO Cdr Kuari 08-Jan-2020 22:52:11

CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:57:57
:: takes a few steps in her makeshift shoes and growls in frustration when they almost immediately fall apart :: Self: Ugh!!
MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 22:58:05
:: offers to help Jude walk with an outstretched arm, wanting to keep an eye on her, but she seems to be doing much better. She bobs her head, heading back out of the crowded shelter :: All: We're getting going.
CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:58:59
:: abandons her shoes and collects her big rainwater collecting leaves, making sure at least one of the torches are lit before dousing the fire ::
MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 22:59:05
:: looks at Wright, sympathizing :: CSO: Try layering mud, :: she calls out, picking back up the net ::
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 08-Jan-2020 22:59:20
TAC2: I'm not going far Lieutenant. ::Notes her limping toward him.::
CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 22:59:35
MED: Wait up. We should all go together.
CO Capt Harper 08-Jan-2020 22:59:39
:: snuggles up tighter against Kuari, mumbling something about just five more minutes ::
MED Lt Acacia 08-Jan-2020 23:00:04
:: nods, looking around. She points at the woods where Ilaihr was :: CSO: I saw--...
CSO: Well, guess he wasn't in so much of a hurry after all.
SCI LtJG Jude 08-Jan-2020 23:00:29
CSO: Just leave your feet be. You'll eventually develop callouses.

All: Well, we should get going.
CSO Cdr Wright 08-Jan-2020 23:02:39
:: scowls at that, but ties her bundle of leaves together around the two fish with a vine, then ties the last few vines they have around her waist like a belt :: MED: I'm ready.
