[A drawn out yawn before...] What did I even miss... [Rin is up now, for the first time in... a while. He'd been sleeping a lot before then with intermittent periods of being awake for short hours. And now, for once, he doesn't want to sleep more. Not the lead because he's really hungry, having not really eaten for the past three days... or seen Shiemi or Skarmy in the house. Or anything. Really, the thing which immediately stood out when he finally got up and wasn't sleeping was that someone (probably Eleanor) had put a huge stack of homework by his bad.

That said, he's eating cereal now, and isn't feeling the need to nod off again despite being up almost an hour (he even showered) which is why he's using his journal]

Sorry, uh, work 'n school people and Wolverine. My bad - I guess I got really sick or something. Shiemi was takin' care of me most of the time too so sorry to any of her friends. [A pause as he chews his cereal and...] Who wants to do... anything? I've actually been sleeping way too much and I wanna stretch my legs.

[ And anyone can tell him what he missed, win-win.

Which of course means there's sidebar action as he goes to Seventh Heaven, next door, the Dome, the Item Shop and other assorted places to see what's what.]

[He nods, but stops for a moment.]

The cold bothers you?

[Ikki himself is just wearing a jacket more fitted for summer than for winter.]

....Yes?

[ like, cold water in the middle of winter is a problem for anyone. ]

[Ikki hums and then shrugs.]

I would have thought it didn't bother you. Anyway, do you have a fishing rod? I have to go get one at the store.

... Y-yeah I gotta get one at the store too, actually.

... Have you ever fished with a rod before?

Of course I have! A few times before now!

Just not here, then?

Y-yeah, just not here.

[ Or in several years ]

Okay, then. Need anything from home before we go to get the rods?

-- Actually yeah, I should bring a good knife.

[ To gut the fish. To the kitchen! And he'll be back short enough. He also put boots on ]

[He waits and ponders for a moment, so when Rin's back he's welcomed with a question.]

Are you going to gut them as we fish them? Or are we going to fish several of them and then decide which ones to keep and free the rest?

Well, I figure I might as well gut the ones which look good, then we can pack them up and haul them back to cook 'em later. Some fresh fish would look good for dinner, after all.

Edited 2013-12-17 22:15 (UTC)

I thought that too, but I meant if you are going to gut the ones that look good the moment they are fished or wait to see if we get something even better.

Oh, good point. We probably need a bucket and a cooler too.

We should decide what type of bait use as well. Though we should find everything at the store anyway.

Don't you just use worms for it?

You could also use insects, like flies. Not sure what's the difference, though.

Those'd seem like they're a little small to me. We're probably better off with worms.

I don't think that matters to the fish but worms is it then.

Course it matters! Anyone's gonna wanna eat something which looks more filling. But okay, let's get goin!

[ TO THE STORE to get stocked ]

[To the store then. Ikki doesn't know much about fishing with a rod so he looks for the less complex type.]

The rods I'm used to are far more simple than those.

Me too. I don't actually know how to use the big fancy ones. [ So where's a simple one ... ]

Maybe we should just build a simple one ourselves.

[Unless they can find a couple of simple one's that is... Ikki manages to find one as he says that, though.]

There's a simple rod here, take it.

Awesome. [ And he does take it, throwing it over his shoulder - and he finds a box of hooks here too - no wait, this is a whole tacklebox. Score. He holds it up for Ikki, grinning as he shakes it a little ]

[He finds a rod for himself not long after and smiles at the tacklebox.]

I think you got the jackpot. It's fully equipped, right?
