With everyone settled back in, I think it's time we go on a hunting trip together.

Anyone who's interested, let me know. I'm thinking we can move out in the next couple of days or so.

[ He'll also be gathering seeds to plant... but he doesn't want anyone to think they might have to stay here through the spring. ]

[ OoC: Will be affected by hallucinations, drop me a line on PM if you want to set something up and we haven't already discussed it! ]

Hunting? Uh, yeah. Sure. Let me just—I'm in.

[pursuitofcappiness]

...

[ For a second, he can't recognize Tony's voice as belonging to Tony. That's ridiculous. When he looks at Tony's image on the feed and when he plays that clip back in his head, it sounds just like him. ]

Of course. Should I get your candlestick ready?

[manofiron]

Candle—What? No. No, I don't need that. I'll—

[ His eyes track to the side, like he's looking at someone else. ]

JARVIS, prep the—Yeah, that's the—No. No, never mind. I'll get it. Steve.

[ Attention snapping back to the camera, he looks at it for a second. ]

When are we going?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Depends how many people sign up to go, but we should be ready in the next few days.

[ That's weird. The more Tony talks, the less like Tony he sounds. But Steve's watch has been futzing about for a couple days now, so that might be it. ]

We'll need a lot of food, or we'll have to make multiple trips. I've got something written out in the sketchbook. You can look at it whenever you come home.

[shesamarshmallow]

I'll just clutch my hankie to my chest and wait for you boys to come home.

But you have fun walking in the nature and stuff.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Sure you wouldn't rather come with us?

[shesamarshmallow]

Bum leg. If only I could!

Seriously, though, I really did screw myself over via gravity. Bruce can confirm.

If he has to, I mean.

[Because Bruce still isn't her favorite subject. But he is her doctor.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Maybe next trip. He's a good doctor; he'll have you back into shape in no time.

I'm Steve, by the way. Steve Rogers. I don't think we've met.

Hunting?

Re: video:

[pursuitofcappiness]

Yes, hunting. You interested?

Re: video:

[charring]

I can probably help some. My grandfather's taught me a thing or two about hunting.

Re: video:

[pursuitofcappiness]

Good. We can take all the help we can get. But there are gonna be some things in the forest... You got a weapon?

[thelittlestbub]

I'd like to join in. If you don't mind someone else.

Do we have weapons? Can't shoot a bow and arrow, but I can at least sometimes hit a target with a rifle.

[Thanks Logan!]

Re: [Video]

[pursuitofcappiness]

I'm afraid you've gotta bring your own weapon, but we could probably fashion some things together.

[thelittlestbub]

I'll ask Wolvie then. He'll know where stuff is. Thanks.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Uh, sure! I'll let you know when and where we decide to meet. Can I get your name? I'm Steve.

[thezerothlaw]

Is your intention to hunt for food?

[If he knew how to look suspicious, he would, but he can't, so Daneel just looks evenly at him. Food is necessary. At least some of the people here are human, and he must care for those ones at any cost.]

[pursuitofcappiness]

Food, mostly. We're kinda running low.

Why, did you have something else in mind?

[thezerothlaw]

[In mind? No, nothing. He just doesn't know who he can trust, who he can believe. Lying is something that, in the past, he's had trouble wrapping his mind around. He knows abstractly that humans do it, but it's near to impossible to disbelieve something a human tells him. Now, though, everything seems to have the potential of a lie.]

I'm merely making sure of your intentions. I would like to assist.

[villainized]

What are you hunting?

[pursuitofcappiness]

Hopefully something edible and bigger than squirrel. Other than that, I'm not too picky.

[villainized]

Bigger than a squirrel and edible... Well, if you're really not that picky, there's always the townspeople. There's what, forty of them? Fifty?

[plaidsamurai]

So yer planning on crashin' through the woods with a large group of inexperienced people and hopin' you, by some miracle, will be able to kill a deer or rabbit? You'll be lucky to catch a glimpse of anything doin' that.

[pursuitofcappiness]

Can't say none of them are inexperienced, but I'm not turning down a helping hand or an extra set of eyes.

[plaidsamurai]

You ain't listenin', bub. Even experienced, the only thing you could go traipsing through the woods huntin' is grouse, 'cause you want to scare those.

You should set up groups. Two people, three at most. Go at dawn or dusk, that's when stuff'll be out.

Or stick to yer bullheaded plan and catch nothin'.
