The Hidden Village: Passing the Time

[wanderingkin]

The crew had made it to the village where the Tapestry was supposedly hidden, but for now, they had to wait. According to the Rom, the path to where the Tapestry was hidden would only open once night fell.

That left them with a fairly good chunk of time on their hands, as well as a rather large Rom settlement to explore in the meantime.

It was rather

To say the least? Sasami was relieved. Their little excursion proved to be slightly eventless - no fights, thus no need to utterly worry Hoshi and Aqua to death. She pocketed her hair tie, having no need for its staff mode and began looking around out of curiosity.

"Wow... it's surprising..."

"Celena, I believe an appraisal of the environment would serve us well," the wizard said to the dragon-in-elf-form, thoughtfully. "Afterwards we should give consideration to inquiring of the potential 'worthiness' we will be called upon to display."

And lest anyone thing they were intending to be anything less than professional about it, he glanced around. "Would anyone else care to participate? My interest is primarily magical, so having other disciplines might be of use."

"If you'd like, I can give you a brief demonstration of Double's and Seraphiel's power," Hoshi offered to Aibghalien, giving the wizard a smile.

"Perhaps, if it's needed, we can coordinate attacks based on strengths and what would be most compatible, as well?"

[curiousredsoul]

"It would do well to have a better look of the village and its surrounds," She replied easily, "Indeed, if this place was built solely to protect the tapestry I am sure that some of the inhabitants would know more of it, and just what 'worthiness' may yet mean,"

She gave an easy smile across to Hoshi, "Just bear in mind, they may not intend a test of 'worthiness' to be offensive power alone," She commented as she swept her gaze through the village, after all, to be worthy had many possible meanings.

[for_magic]

"Of course I'd like to see, though the question is, can you do it while flying? And either way, did you intend to come scouting as well?"

He rather suspected this test of 'worthiness' would be brutal at best. Given the circumstances, if the crew was expected to prove 'worthy' in any sense of being able to alter the very destiny of the multiverse itself, at this point...

Namira decided that she very much liked the Rom, and stood somewhat apart from the rest of the group. Hakkar stood at attention, waiting for his mistress to direct him. His stub of a tail still wagged back and forth excitedly, though.

"Down, Hakkar, I think it may be alright."

The Doctor made himself right at home with some good, old-fashioned exploring and snooping about.

It was just one of those things one did when one had to sit through linear time and while he wouldn't call himself necessarily bored, he had to admit he was looking for something to do. The Doctor shrugged out of his jacket as he snooped his way around one of the walls, looking about two seconds (maybe less) from giving the surface a good lick and seeing what that could tell him. Tempting...

All in all, he just hoped this mission would go a lot more smoothly than the last one. The Rom seemed polite and well-adjusted. So had the Oryans, not that he necessarily faulted them for what happened back there. Put would-be goddesses, a big planet sized ego and a firepit that was a poor excuse for a volcano and of course you'd get...well, that mess. The Doctor moved further down the wall and stopped to run his hand along the seams...or almost lack of, they were that smooth and flush up against one another that it almost felt like one piece if

Having learned her lesson from the meat-apple pie she'd made, Aqua was taking care to ask thoroughly about the flavors and cooking techniques for the various fruits and vegetables she'd come across. Already, she'd bought some citrus fruit plants similar to lemons and blood oranges, a basket of small eggplant-like vegetables and a packet of seeds, and some root vegetables similar to potatoes and yuca, along with seeds for them as well.

"Let's see," she noted. "What else do we need?" The plants were good to help continually replentish supplies, but what else could she get to extend their food's shelf life?

"I think we need to get some more herbs. And maybe some salt." Ron said.

[rainfell_aqua]

Aqua smiled at Ron's suggestion. "I guess so. My sister's the cook in the house, so I'm still guessing at this."

[potentialmonkey]

Ron grinned "Well then. you're in luck. I know exactly what I'm doing"
