Brrrr, hunting food down here is rather hard work!!! ｡゜(｀Д´)゜｡
When you're watching someone do it, it seems pretty easy, doesn't it... but when you try it yourself...
It's nice that we got a bunch of crops to harvest, but a guy's got to have some good jerky once in a while (*｡_｡)
I wasn't prepared at all for coming down here... hey, there's a lot of people in the same boat as I am, am I right??
Since we have so many stupendous warriors amongst our midst, it wouldn't hurt for us to share tips. At the very least, drawing up a map of where we're all staying would be useful if any of us need any help (or food lol) ( ﾉ^ω^)ﾉ
It wouldn't be good if any of us freeze to death from our own ineptitude (｀・ω・´) Maybe we could even put together a survival guidebook of sorts!
Well, well?? What do you think, everyone?

[He'll manage to answer some replies before all goes silent on his end for a few minutes or so.

...

Still on Kano's tablet and under his name, the entry gets a video tacked onto it. Some green hair can be seen but only for a moment as Kido turns the video on a certain idiot sitting in the snow, putting pressure on his leg. An irritated sigh is heard.]

Tch, I'll give a lesson: Don't let an idiot handle a gun. He's fine by the way. It's just a graze.

[She's still fretting anyway.] We came this far out looking for something like small game or whatever. We were trying to assess the resources of this place outside of getting in good with the villagers and doing mission runs...

Anyway, I guess what Kano says still holds. [Fumbling with the tablet, it points down at the snow.]

Hey, let me look at it... [The gentle voice gets cut off as she shuts off the video.]

Comments

[veratrum]

....uh.


Did he just shoot himself.

[Regardless of what Kido's going to say, Kano'll be shouting his reply!!]

It was an accident, no big deal! It's not that bad, Kido's just a mother hen--

[concealingeyes]

He can't even do that right. He missed for the most part.

[paraleyes]

Is he okay? Did he hurt his leg?

[concealingeyes]

remember how shintaro got grazed and fainted from it? it's like that minus the fainting.

[duplicitoussight]

[Later, when he gets his tablet back:]

It's fine. Only my toe's gone.

[maskmaker]

[Kano you're such an idiot Monica can't even be bothered.

She looks absolutely exasperated and she doesn't have the usual Monimoni tone.]

... I'll hunt for you.

[concealingeyes]

[She can't help brightening up at that. Though she feels her exasperation and gives a soft laugh.]

Thanks. You know how to do stuff like that, Monica? That's impressive.

[duplicitoussight]

[He perks up at that.]

Would you? Ehh, Monica's so nice~ She's probably saving me the trouble of shooting my foot for real.

[ACTION: RESCUE DOG]

[inhumanity]

[The crunch of snow announced Christopher's approach, easy and calm, hands in his pockets.]

I love the way that blood spreads over snow, don't you? From one perspective, it's the warmth of life reaching into the coldness of a dead land. But it also stands out magnificently, and the differences in temperatures makes for even more exciting patterns.

[He comes to a stop.] My, is this the sort of charming disaster that's the perfect opportunity for young lovers to act out scenarios of hurt and comfort? The chemicals released will only strengthen the bond between you. Wait, don't tell me Kano set up this situation on purpose to strengthen his bond with Kido? Ack, what deviousness!

[Not the best rescue dog.]

[concealingeyes]

[Kido glances up from wiping and pressing at the bloody line with her shirt. Initially she smiles seeing him. And then he talks. Her face turns from exasperation - what the hell is he saying again - to a shade of red bright as the blood.]

O-Oi! Shut up! You think I'm glad he's hurt or something?! Anyway it was an accident! Kano isn't that reckless to try something to get my attention!

i'm good. kano wanted to try.

[duplicitoussight]

[A couple minutes after Kido's response:]

Well, we didn't really need it until now

[affectate]

It's very important to use firearms in a more careful manner... Although it is certainly wonderful that he was only grazed! It could have become lodged within his foot, instead.

[duplicitoussight]

[Interrupting before Kido can say anything with a very helpful statement.] Kido thought I took off my leg or something. Aah, she really freaked out!

[concealingeyes]

Seriously. I'm glad we're lucky. Anyway it's better to learn from a mistake like this than one that would really hurt.

[...........]

i don't think kano should have a gun anymore. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ

[A FEW MINUTES LATE:]

I was trying to get Momo and the others some nice moose!!!

[gevurah]

[ With an air of urgency: ]

What are you [ and with relocation making communication spotty at times ] —ing with a gun?

audio

[duplicitoussight]

[Ah, so it's worried someone. That means he should answer as cheerfully as he can.]

Eh, are you outside right now? Don't fret about it, it's nothing at all! We gotta get food one way or another by ourselves.

[substitutable]

... Aaah.

I've got some more first aid stuff and a sled to carry him on. I'm a few minutes away. I'll be there in a bit.

[duplicitoussight]

Please make sure that you pad it nicely, Shinta~ro! Could you bring some drinks, too?

[reassures]

[OH MY GOD KANO]

Who gave him a gun without teaching him to use it?

[Seriously someone needs to chew that person out.]

Is he okay?

[ text ]

[concealingeyes]

[Guiiiiilt.]

sorry. i didn't mention enough. i should have said things better. he's okay though. it's just a scratch.

[concealingeyes]

[Kido sighs, occasionally stealing his table to put in a reply to someone and otherwise sitting in the snow in front of him with her hoodie pulled up a bit. It's just to make it easier to press the bottom of her shirt against the gash. She doesn't want to get blood on her hoodie.]

We didn't majorly screw up but we sure came close, huh?

[duplicitoussight]

[Kano lets her take the tablet whenever she reaches for it, staying still as she presses down. Despite the carefree attitude he's been putting on, it does hurt. The cold isn't helping in making it more comfortable either, but he smiles when she asks.]

You're talking about me, right? Leader's being a great nurse so far.

[nosebleeds]

Oh, good. I thought we were suddenly dealing with a thirteen-year old Japanese school girl.

[duplicitoussight]

[Kano lifts the end of his hoodie and does a mock bow the best he can sitting down.]

I'm definitely as cute as one, though, Leader can attest to that!

[redsea]

[ Kano... Well, she's still worried, but if Kido says he's fine... ]

Wait.

How did he do that?

[ Do what!? ]

[duplicitoussight]

[INTERRUPTING KANO because he's wrest control of his tablet back.]

Eh? Shoot myself? It's really simple. You have to aim carefully at the part you want to shoot.

[showmeyourwreath]

You're really okay? [She knows Kido would handle it immediately if things went seriously wrong, she just can't help asking. Worried!!]

[duplicitoussight]

[Thumbs-up!!!!]

I don't look dead.
