A huntin' we will go~

[hellpyre]

Who: "Team 1" for the Sword Materials expeditions (Rin, Maka, Kuro, Alucard and Lady Duke)
When: Day 65
Where: Starting at the Bastion and heading out to the Skyway
What: Rin needs a new sword, but supplies are required for that first
Format: action
Warnings: none yet, will change if needed

[Rin had come to a decision after the last search for a Core, that things needed to be tweaked a little for her to be an effective teammate. Her flames were powerful, but not every situation called for them, and wasting them - or alternately, not using them at all and having nothing to fight with - just wasn't acceptable to her. Not at a point in her life when she knew she could be better than that.

So Stuart had given her a list of things to search for in order to make her a new, non-demon slaying blade. That required venturing on the Skyway, which was a task she had finally come to realize needed collective effort as well, so she had gone to a few people and asked conversationally if they wanted to join her out there the next day.

She had gathered Maka, Kuro, Alucard and Duke for this trip, and some time after "dawn" and breakfast, she could be found packing a small bag with a few provisions.]

There. That should be good!

[It doesn't take long for Alucard to arrive. He doesn't appear to have anything more with him than usual, save for a small pouch of dried meat.]

...We are prepared to set out then?

[silvervine]

[ Ready!

Kuro had the easiest way of preparing, just hopping up to a comfortable perch on Rin's shoulder. His two tails are twitching back and forth, and his expression is particularly intent.

They were going to go find a cow!

And maybe also things for Rin's new sword. ]

[notduchess]

[ And here's the knight as well. Duke fiddles with a tonic, before sighing and sticking it in a pocket with what looks like wrapped sandwiches. ]

After you. [ With a slight indication to Rin, as the girl probably has some general idea of where they mean to go. ]

[hellpyre]

One more! Then we can get goin'.

[Rin looked up from her pack at the gathered group so far, smiling faintly. She was still getting to know a lot of these people, but it was nice to know she could trust them to have her back in something like this.]

[unflattering]

--Sorry, I'm here!

[Guh, getting out of bed was hard this morning, what's up with that? BECAUSE A CAT WAS SLEEPING ON HIM AND WOULDN'T MOVE, THAT'S WHY. Well at least he's all packed and ready beforehand.]

All ready.

[hellpyre]

Alright, that's everyone!

[Maka, Rin feels your pain. Kuro does this to her every morning.]

So I kinda explained this to everyone individually, but basically I wanna get a new weapon made, and I need supplies for it. But I figured I'd drag a few people out with me to help look, and maybe score some other supplies along the way.

So if everyone is ready--

[Rin stands at this, slinging her bag over her shoulders]

Let's go!

[silvervine]

[ And if we find meat, it's mine!

That was important to establish. ]

[notduchess]

Even if it isn't worth eating?

[ Duke shifts, making sure that the sword wouldn't be hard to draw if needed, and steps out to follow Rin. ]

[hellpyre]

[Duke... can understand Kuro. Oh. Okay. That was news to her.

... this is kind of awkward.]

Kuro is uhm... wantin' to find meat. I told him we'll do our best but my priority is the supplies for my sword. If we find anythin' else and can haul it back though, we should.

So. Yeah. That's it. We should move out before it gets too late.

[silvervine]

[ Rin can cook it, and it'll be delicious.

He had such faith. ]

[hellpyre]

Kuro, shush.

[even though no one except Duke can hear the feline, Rin puts a hand over his mouth in a silencing gesture.]

Let's go.

[And they're off! To the skyway where... something awaits them. Be it monsters or supplies, that has yet to be seen.]

[unflattering]

[He's just amused at Kuro's insistence on finding food--meat of all things.]

I don't think I've ever met a cat that craves meat so much, Night and--well--Blair back at home, they both seem quite content with fish.

[superdrowningskills]

I hardly find it strange. If a cat does not live near an abundant source of fish, it only seems logical that they would have a preference for meat.

[Not that Alucard actually knows many domestic cats. Most of the ones he's met are bigger than he is.]

[silvervine]

[ Kuro sits up on Rin's head, alert and watching out for anything, though his tail is starting to lash back and forth.

It's just good taste in food. ]

[hellpyre]

[Rin had to laugh at that as they walked, shaking her head a little.]

Kuro claims it's "just good taste in food". I think he's just a glutton and misses my Sukiyaki.

[Rin paused and narrowed her eyes, pointing ahead. They were nearing the Wharf District, where some intact crates could be seen.]

Hey, there's a place to start!

[notduchess]

I'll start over here.

[ With this spot give the knight a chance to see the other crates easily? Very likely. ]
