Futuristic ARK: Survival of the Fittest (Closed)

[Deadwood Deer]

"Yeah!", Anna cheered, "Let's get the rest of these done and do a test flight!"

Jack looked like a deer in the headlights when Vera actually opened the door, "I didn't think I'd get this far..."

 

[Silverwings]

Roan nodded, helping with the other saddles.

"Why are you here?" She asked quietly.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"I wanted to apologize, but," Jack scratched the back of his head, "I already did that, and I didn't have a plan afterwards." He looked down at the floor, "Can we just... pretend today didn't happen?"

 

[Silverwings]

Vera folded her arms a bit, "I guess..."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Jack nodded, "Thank you." He looked around, "I... you wanna go for a walk?" He took a step to the side as if to offer a hand down the stairs, but hit his head on the low rafters of the porch. "Ow, or a bigger house?"

 

[Silverwings]

"Not.." Vera started before stopping and taking a breath, "Sure."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Are you feeling okay?", Jack poked around for a bump and winced. "I can go if I'm bothering you."

 

[Silverwings]

"I just.. I dont feel well," She answered, "My head kind of hurts.."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Did you bump your head?", Jack looked at the rafters, "These are kinda low."

 

[Silverwings]

Vera shook her head, "no. Im not as tall as you."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Hmm," Jack stepped down off the porch and offered Vera his hand, "Let's go for a walk, talk this out."

 

[Silverwings]

Vera hesitated before taking his hand and stepping outside. The baby raptors joined them momentarily before running off to Cherry and Gaia.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Down the slope and along the beach Jack and Vera went walking. "I'm sorry about this morning, that fight was... stupid," Jack shook his head.

 

[Silverwings]

"A little bit.." Vera agreed.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Jack sighed, "If it'll make you happy, I'll concede that girls don't have assbones, you have pelvic bones." He wasn't quite sure what that would do, but his understanding of the issue seemed to have stemmed from his challenging Vera's claim that she didn't have any bones in her butt.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera shook her head, "Just.. forget it. I dont want to talk about it."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Okay," Jack shrugged a bit, "How's your head feeling?"

 

[Silverwings]

"Dizzy, I guess," She answered, "Its been a long day.."

 

[Deadwood Deer]

Jack nodded, "Have the baby raptors been behaving?"

 

[Silverwings]

"Oh, yea. They're basically just small raptors. " Vera replied.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"That's good," so Jack thought. He didn't really like raptors, but Vera knew that already. "I made an anky saddle earlier, if those things are good for metal we'll be able to drop one off at the volcano, keep harvesting the stuff." Smalltalk wasn't his thing,, either.

 

[Silverwings]

Vera nodded. She took a breath, "Well. That'll be the whole collection, right?"

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Yeah, I think," Jack nodded, "Metal, flint, stone, thatch, wood, and fiber, there's obsidian up there, too. All we need from there is a source of chitin."

 

[Silverwings]

"How do we get that?" She asked. Her voice was still lowered, giving hints that she was still not feeling great.

 

[Deadwood Deer]

"Bugs probably," Jack shrugged, "Maybe we can get a breeding pair of giant ants." He glanced over at Vera, "Are you sure you're okay?"
