[The handwriting on the network might be familiar to some, but a rare occurrence on the network nonetheless. The beginning of the message does not actually do anything to clear things up.]

I’m putting together a crew.

[Very helpful, thanks. She seems to realize that more elaboration is necessary, so the rest of the information follows a moment later.]

With the weather the way it is, it’s more dangerous than ever for the villagers to be out in the woods. We need to organize if we want to make sure no one gets hurt. I'm already on regular patrols between the settlements, but I think it might help if we can split up the work between a few of us. Escorts, clearing out some of the...wildlife. Send me a message or stop by the compound if you want in--just know that I'm looking for people who can hold their own in a fight.

Right. It’s Aloy.

[ooc: details about the monster hunting crew are here! to join, just confirm via this post and then feel free to use this loosely-organized guild for a hook or cr or whatever you need! For additional plotting/convergence of plots, hit me up on plurk at whitticus or on discord at whitticus.]

Sounds like a decent way to pass the time. I'm in. Pretty sure holding my own won't be much of a problem.

[outwear]

But.
Could you use a partner?
I have some experience.

[wwrench]

I wouldn't say no to having someone out there watching my back from time to time. You don't know where to get a gun in Solvunn, do you? I've never seen one around here.

[outwear]

They're hard to come by.
I can definitely ask around.
Do you have a preference?
I wouldn't get too picky.

[wwrench]

In that case, one that shoots bullets should do fine.

Maybe not a musket.

[outwear]

I assume if it's
all that I can get
it would still serve
your intended purpose?

[wwrench]

Beggars can't be choosers. If you can get me firepower, any kind should do.

You know a gun guy or something?

[outwear]

Not many in this part of town,
but I have some other connections.
For a while I was in Free Cities.
I have family there I can reach.

[lightkeeping]

I'm not going to mandate a buddy system. But it might be a good idea.

[outwear]

Yeah, no, I wholly agree.
No one should go out alone.
Maybe we can implement
some kind of routine check-in.

[lightkeeping]

Sure. You want to be in charge of that?

[outwear]

As one of the people
least likely to check in,
it's probably best in
more responsible hands.

[lightkeeping]

Noted.

[lightkeeping]

Sure. You probably know the woods pretty well at this point, huh?

[wwrench]

Starting to get there, I think. Though I still haven’t run across that house with chicken legs so I think some of the weirdness is still lost on me.

[lightkeeping]

Keep at it. It has to be out there somewhere.

[wwrench]

See, now I'm confused. Am I supposed to be keeping my distance from it, or trying to track it down?

Probably not a bad quality for your hunting party: someone who runs towards the shit people say to avoid.

[lightkeeping]

I guess it's not a threat right now...but if we can find it, and keep tabs on it, that might be a good idea.

[wwrench]

I'll keep my eyes open for it. Anything else in particular out there you hoping to see a little less of? I've mostly stuck to hunting the normal stuff. Don't want to accidentally create an international incident with any of the other territories.

[lightkeeping]

The normal stuff is good for now--and there are a lot of villagers who need help getting around, in weather like this. Not sure if you want to do escort runs, though.

[wwrench]

As long as they’d rather get there safely than have a conversation. I don’t mind travel for the sake of travel, but I think I’ve scared one too many newcomers with the introductory lessons on sparkle-text.

[lightkeeping]

That sounds like a “them” problem.
