[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.

[divinityfrompain]

I'm in! I can also teach people some protection and battle spells if they need to learn any. It requires no High Magic whatsoever (so no worshipping required).

[ This response is very verbose: ]

I'll help so long as you don't question if I'm good in a fight.

[familysucks]

I didn't take you for the social type.

Consider me available if you have need of another body. Bring our own weapons, I assume?

[nomnoms]

WHAT HELP THIS?

[ what is everyone doing? ]

[durge]

I'd be more than happy to offer any help I can.

[lightkeeping]

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

[lightkeeping]

It might not be a bad idea for you to learn how to use a bow.

[lightkeeping]

You realize that’s just going to make me question whether you’re good in a fight?

[lightkeeping]

It’s only a social activity if you make it one. I might be able to negotiate with the villagers for more access to weapons, but it’s easier if you bring your own.

[because she doesn’t want to talk to anyone!]

[lightkeeping]

Sure. I’ll share some of my patrol routes. We can cover more ground with a few more bodies.

[alive bodies.]

[lightkeeping]

Hunting help. You want in?

[lightkeeping]

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

[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.

[furibund]

Sounds like a personal problem.

[respiting]

Yeah, sure, I've been meaning to test something out anyway.

And I still ain't seen you in action yet either.

[ Look, he remembers all of those pretty, shiny weapons he'd come across randomly traipsing in the woods to Aloy's place, Way Back When okay. ]

[hairington]

count me in

[aquaveiled]

I'm showing up for duty, Captain!

[ There's a poorly drawn salute accompanying this. ]

[sketchycharacter]

I'm in.

You don't require monster-hunting experience right? I only did it a couple times before getting yanked here.

[inthenameofhades]

I know you don't think much of me. But regardless, I'd like to assist.

[nomnoms]

ME HUNT HELP

GO NOW?

[lightkeeping]

I just need to know that you're not going to get someone else killed.

[furibund]

If I wanted someone dead, it wouldn't be an accident.
