Lost Harbor
atlantis-mission
Rise and shine on the morning of the sixth day! Hopefully, everyone found a place to sleep — the big bed was first come, first serve for as many that wanted to pile in, along with two smaller beds in the children’s room and various couches and chairs in the living room. As we wake up, we must first attend to the day’s business of survival, then determine how to approach solving the mystery of this place.

It's nice to be warm and not be outside, though, with sturdy protective walls around us!

::stretches her legs out in her sleep, hitting the end of the bed and subsquently shoving her head into the headboard:: Self: Ow.. ::opens her eyes, remembering where she is.

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 21:44:10

::Gets out of bed finally, smoothing down the borrowed clothes she's slept in, and pads out of the room, looking for everyone else:: All: Morning, everyone.

:: chuckles at that, very much needing a shower herself ::
CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 21:49:53

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 21:50:55
Second, I did not wash the larger clothes yesterday, but they are quite wearable, only musty. Please find something that you can stay warm and dry in. The fabric is quite good at shedding water.

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 21:52:55
MED: Doctor, you brought a fishing net with you, I believe?
XO Cdr Kuari 29-Jan-2020 21:53:27
:: sits on the floor next to Harper, smiling and looking to Acacia ::
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 21:54:07
:: nods, pausing to look at the Captains as she was addressed :: CO: It's stowed in the child's bedroom to be out of the way. I need a few vines to repair it, then we can use it again.
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 29-Jan-2020 21:54:12
::Uses his powers to listen in to the conversation from outside; more liberally using his abilities feeling like being able to move an atrophied muscle again.::
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 21:55:09
CO: Or.. rope? :: she's hopeful ::
CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 21:55:25
MED: Wonderful! Please do so and set it up, since those fish were quite delicious! I have yet to find any rope, though.
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 21:55:54
:: nods, shaking her slimy hands :: All: Anyone wanna take over cleaning the bones for broth?
CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 21:55:58
All: That does bring me to my next idea, though: An inventory of what we do have. Any volunteers?
CSO Cdr Wright 29-Jan-2020 21:56:25
MED: You'll need help with the net, right?
NAV Lt Navarro 29-Jan-2020 21:56:32

XO Cdr Kuari 29-Jan-2020 21:56:57

MED: I suppose I can spare her. :: grins, but is still loathe to let Lexy out of her sight despite her cheerful presentation::
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 21:58:03

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 29-Jan-2020 22:00:39
::Appears in the room; still naked, but sporting his cane instead of a stick.:: CO: Is there anything I can assist with? ::His voice strangely muffled.::

CSO Cdr Wright 29-Jan-2020 22:01:39
MED: I'm ready. Let's go and get the net fixed before we run out of morning.
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 29-Jan-2020 22:01:42
::Disappears. Then walks into the room, with the stick in hand again. Smiles, expectantly.::
SCI LtJG Jude 29-Jan-2020 22:01:47

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:01:53
:: claps her hands, Ilaihr's nakedness not even registering :: CEO: Of course! This house had power once. I would like you to figure out how it did, and if we could potentially get anything working again.

TAC2 1Lt Grey 29-Jan-2020 22:02:11

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:02:52

TAC2 1Lt Grey 29-Jan-2020 22:03:37

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:04:33

NAV Lt Navarro 29-Jan-2020 22:04:53

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 29-Jan-2020 22:05:00
::Rifles through his robe's pockets, before pulling out a small case, revealing his spectacles, which he proceeds to put on.:: CO: I should be able to do that.
XO Cdr Kuari 29-Jan-2020 22:05:11
:: begins separating the rabbit bones from its hide, having to look down cross-eyed at the small corpse in front of her. She's had to use her claws more the last few days than ever in her life, probably, and thinks she's getting better at the task by repetition ::

CEO: Lovely, thank you.
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:05:18
:: looks around, pulling the longest, healthiest vines she can find :: CSO: Three major repairs, six minor. I estimate 20 vines will do.
SCI LtJG Jude 29-Jan-2020 22:05:32
:: nods :: CO: Yep. Plain water in the morning is always a bit boring. It's better when it is either bean juice or leaf juice.
CSO Cdr Wright 29-Jan-2020 22:06:18
:: moves to an adjacent tree and starts pulling down long, quality vines and cutting lengths of them with her a knife she borrowed from the kitchen :: MED: Maybe with everyone working together, we'll have time to get beyond survival and start thinking about how to get home.
CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:06:18
SCI: Bean juice, preferably, but it will have to do. Would you mind aiding in cooking what we do have, or is there something you believe yourself better suited for?
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 29-Jan-2020 22:07:22
CO: What of this place? Is there a basement? An attic? ::Looks around.:: I would imagine a junction box around, somewhere.
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:07:48

CO: I could do fishing or trapping.
CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:08:40
:: nods to Jude :: SCI: Go see if Acacia and Wright need another set of hands, then.
CEO: I have not found a basement, and it does not look like there is space for an attic with that high ceiling. That said, I have not fully explored every corner for hidden compartments.

MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:26:34

SCI LtJG Jude 29-Jan-2020 22:34:18

MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:34:49

NAV Lt Navarro 29-Jan-2020 22:35:23
CEO: I don't think your cane will break this wall. Maybe there is a hidden release?
CSO Cdr Wright 29-Jan-2020 22:36:04
:: blushes a little bit :: MED: Only because I have a good teacher!
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:37:00
:: beams, thriving. She tosses one of the nets ropes over the tree and leaves Wright to tie it up, taking the other and carefully beginning to wade across the river ::
CEO LCdr Ilaihr 29-Jan-2020 22:37:34
::Hums.:: NAV: Perhaps.
TAC2 1Lt Grey 29-Jan-2020 22:37:35

XO Cdr Kuari 29-Jan-2020 22:37:35
:: gets to the side of the river, finding Acacia halfway across :: MED: Acacia! What do you want me to do with the bones, put them on the fire?
CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:38:05
: leaving the pile of clothes by the sink, she spies the now unoccupied bathroom ::
CSO Cdr Wright 29-Jan-2020 22:38:09

CEO LCdr Ilaihr 29-Jan-2020 22:40:00
::Looks around the room, studying the furniture and the light fixtures.::

:: selects from fresh clothing from the clean pile and heads into the bathroom ::
MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:40:52
:: can't help but laugh out loud at her situation for a moment. She gathers herself together afterwards, tying up her side of the net. She slides it down the tree, letting the net sit in the water. ::

XO Cdr Kuari 29-Jan-2020 22:42:17

MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:43:20
:: hands the pull string up to Wright before wading back across to grab her own :: CSO: Oh, no, I'm fine! I just think it's funny.. how many weird little things are coming up.

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:43:51

MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:45:33

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:47:47
:: she dries off, noticing that she will need to wash some towels soon, and then dons a fresh set of clothes, finding it fortunate that the lady of this house was so close to her size and build ::

:: makes sure the pot is secure, then picks up her backpack and eagerly leaves the house, not because she wants to, but she yearns to come back later having accomplished a lot.

MED Lt Acacia 29-Jan-2020 22:48:59
:: nods thoughtfully, looking around for rocks or logs that might have bugs under them for some bait, leaving her pull vine under a heavy rock so it won't go anywhere.

CO Capt Harper 29-Jan-2020 22:49:17

CSO Cdr Wright 29-Jan-2020 22:50:02

CSO: But yeah, its frustrating.
CMO Lt Tailor 29-Jan-2020 23:01:38
CO: I think we're all doing pretty well, considering. Jude also, she seems to be recovering well from the spider bite. If we stay here long term, we're going to have to find a better variety of food if we don't want to have malnutrition problems, but for now we're ok.
