Diminish frowned. She had been watching the colony's Nukaps for a while now, at the request of some of the ranchers. The boars had recently had nuklets, and the ranchers were extra busy trying to weigh them all to see if they were healthy. ((Maybe that was why they hadn't noticed that the adults had managed to dig up some odd-looking mushrooms from the muddy soil.)) "Are they supposed to have those?" Halt asked, having approached Diminish from behind. The Aquatic Tark'ee had been...

((Rust had been *sure* she had seen other Xunari across the golden field of wheat, and she had been so excited to go say hi to them.)) Unfortunately Quartz had taken one glance across the field and instantly denied Rust this simple pleasure. She huffed, annoyed at the restriction that had been set. Surely nothing bad would happen if she just- Quartz was distracted right now, cutting own the grain and putting it in baskets. Rust was supposed to be helping- but very much wasn't, way too ...

Reckon sighed, stretching out her sore limbs as she set out for another day of hunting Nukap. The colony had gotten reports of a golden-pelted Nukap roaming nearby, and Reckon had instantly taken it as a challenge. If it was anything like how it was described, it's pelt would fetch a pretty penny on the market. Reach, however, had rolled her eyes at the rumours. "Such Nukap don't exist." She said, her tone hinting that this might turn into a scolding. "You shouldn't believe just anythi...

Months had passed since Nose and Tail had left Daago's care, but their adjustment to life in Morgain's colony in L'hatzif had been slow. The whelps had spent their first days timidly exploring their new surroundings, clinging to each other for comfort. Morgain, though patient, was quickly growing concerned about the two. Neither had really opened up to him, to Cause, or to any of the other Xunari in the colony. Eventually, he had decided that maybe a trip back to Issiq would be good fo...

After they had properly noted down the Huldah nest they had found, Owe, Reckon, Reach, had walked down back to the road where they had left the bulk of their gear. ((There had been no need to lug everything around the sandy beaches, after all, especially when they had wandered into the tidepools, where everything would have gotten wet.)) Tsidal's Bani had followed, lured in by the promise of shared snacks. Reach rummaged trough the bags. "Hmmm that's odd- I can't seem to find any of th...

"So, you guys've been having issues with Huldah too?" Reach offered awkwardly. Bani had run into Reckon, Reach and Owe on the coast of Mireh- ((they had reached some tidepools, and were wading trough the shallow water.)) and seemed to have a similair mission, based on her apparel. Bani chuckled awkwardly in reply. "I think everyone is, around this time of year." Reckon nodded sagely. "She's got a point. With the cold weather they try to hide wherever is warm, which is often in h...

((Frostbite was in awe of the Issiq deserts. The colourful sand stretched as far as the eye could see, and while the Tark'ee had heard stories, he was still surprise to see the place in person.)) Wait chuckled, likely seeing Frost's in awe expression. "Wait until you see the mines!" Ah, right, that's why they were here. Bloo had gotten a report that one of the mines in Issiq had caved in, and that the locals would need help clearing it out. Finn and Crown were busy, still mining...

((After the mine was cleared out Wait and Frostbite were quick to climb back to the sandy surface. With the sand cleared out navigating the maze-like mines was luckily far less of a chore, and the two found their way back up fairly quickly. The day had been hot, and while the mines provided some well-appreciated cool air what the two really wanted was some nice, cool water.)) They were quite startled, though, when they got to the surface, only to be nearly ran over by a small group of ...

Rose was in no way pleased to have ended up at the Physician's office back in L'hatzif. She had always hated the place. ((The walls were painted a stark white, and the floor was covered in slightly reflective white tiles. The atmosphere felt sterile and cold, and she always hated every second of being in the building.)) At least the physicians themselves were kind, she supposed. Of course, she said that only ever having met Matter. Unfortunately for her, Matter wasn't in today. Instead...

Reckon sighed. Over in L'hatzif there was apparently a sudden rise in Nukap numbers. After a local rancher had passe, nobody had wanted to take over the care of the hogs, and eventually they had broken free and spread all throughout the region. Appearently this had happened earlier in the year, giving the animals plenty of time to reproduce. Colonies all over L'hatzif had been hunting them down, trying to prevent them from wrecking the ecosystem. Being one of the colony's few dedicated...

Quake squinted into the distance. ((It was hard to make things out in the murky waters of the swamp, even with the bright afternoon sun shining trough the surface of the wate. Still, she could swear she could see some oddly artificial shapes lodged in-between piles of dirt on the bottom of the river. She frowned- it didn't look like the rocks that were strewn about at all.)) She frowned, thinking deep about any buildings that might be close, but came up with nothing. She looked behind her to ...

Crown was not too happy with the job she had been given. Even with Hivoo, a tsabhua from another colony, and Frostbite nearby- she still wasn't (and never would be) a fan of the ocean. Unfortunately for her, Bloo had picked her to clean up some debris out of the ocean after a storm had hit the colony. Despite being warned beforehand, one of the Xunari working on construction had ignored all warnings they had been given and left a ton of materials sitting around outside, which had been picked ...

Woodland groaned in annoyance, picking up a spear that had laid besides the field she had been working on. "Get! Out!" she cursed at the small Nukap that had wandered into the field, and had been hapilly munching on some of the crops. ((Sadly, it was too late for the small plant, the Nukap having pulled off most of it leaves. What was left likely wouldn't regrow.)) Woodland frowned, as much as she hated to bring harm to living things, at this rate half her field would be gone. Koi had ...

Having grown up and lived in Issiq nearly his entire life, Carus knew far more about Jaebo that he would've like to. When he was but a whelp, his parents would constantly have to chase the Jaebo out of their vegetable garden, and over time that job got passed on to Carus. He spent a frankly embarrassing amount of his youth trying to figure out how to keep the damn critters away from his home- remaining mostly unsuccessful in his attempts. And because of that, when he heard that Jaebo w...

All in all, there was really no reason for Woodland to steal. Still, she had been sent on a mission to acquire some more Nukap meat, and honestly- she just didn't have it in her to actually hunt again. She had been giving quite the strange look when she had asked to bring Fero'heart and Peridot to come along with her hunting, as neither quite had the skills that one would usually look for in good hunting companions. Both of them were sneaky though, which happened to be just what was re...

As Rose had predicted, Carus' methods of getting rid of the Huldah in the field turned out to be impressively ineffective. They had, by pure luck, managed to catch a single Huldah in the traps, but the rest had known what was up and avoided the traps entirely. This had frustrated Carus immensely, as he had been so confident that his plans would work. Reach and Rose had listened to him complain to Morgain (trough one of the tablets that allowed the headquarters and outpost to stay conne...

As it turns out, Hojenst pelts fetched quite a nice price. To Morgain's suprise, the merchant he had met up with to sell the ones that the colonists had hunted near the Mireh outpost had complimented the quality of them, claiming that rarely did he find pelts this pristine.   After hearing this, the leaders of the colony had seen an opportunity. Especially since the Xunari at the outpost had noticed an overpopulation of the nearby Hojenst. Having birthed their young e...

It was on their way back to L'hatzif that the group stumbled onto yet another animal related problem. Woodland wasn't sure if she should be surprised at this point. ((Apparently, the well-travelled path the colonists had decided to utilize was chosen by a lonesome Nukap as the perfect napping spot. Woodland could hardly blame the creature, since the spot it had chosen was bathed in warm afternoon sunlight.)) Woodland almost felt like joining it- but ultimately decided that she would be juge...

"Damn it!" Carus swore, dropping one of his tools in surprise as he felt something small skitter past him. Reach glanced over, shooting him an odd look. Rose had noticed too, but she had simple snickered to herself and quickly gone back to work.   The colonists were surveying one of the Mireh fields- which to Reach and Rose was boring, dull and tedious work. Carus had claimed that it was important, and that the colony should be responsible with their environment and r...

Woodland certainly hadn't felt great about killing the Hojenst. Still, what had to be done had to be done, she supposed. She felt less guilty after Snap and Quartz had turned the carcasses into a wonderful soup later that week, after carefully harvesting the pelts and other useful parts off of the animals. She felt at peace knowing that, at the very least, the animal's death had purpose.   It was the day after they had the stew that Snap approached the three, wringing...
