A whole new world

There is a forest that likes to pretend that it's ordinary. It isn't, it's quite bizarre. Every night, in fact, zombies and other horrible monsters swarm this place, looking for people to kill. Not that they've found anyone, the forest itself is quite empty of residents. But they search anyway, during the night, shambling and groaning and occasionally leaving body parts lying around. Those disappear pretty quickly, but it still happens. Then the day comes, and they depart to who knows where, swearing (if mindless monsters could think, or in fact swear to anything in particular) that they'l be back the next night. Repeat ad nauseum.

It's currently in the day portion of this cycle of directionless attempts at violence. Maybe this day will be different from all of the others.

But then, probably not, it's a very boring island without anyone here.

...For her own amusement, Sable attempts to catch the goldfish in her critter net.

That is... actually sort of adorable.

She tries putting it back in the water.

How useful. Scoop! Now she has a little pocket goldfish.

Well then.

She seeks out little crawly things to catch with the net, next.

Scoop! Does it become a pocket grasshopper?

Excellent.

She also has to find an ocean. She tries a direction that she hasn't gone yet, scooping any crawlies she spots along the way.

Okay. So... time to fish?

[personal profile] greatestgift 2015-04-01 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
Travel trout! How charming. Also, as she half suspected, fished things don't seem to exist until caught. She'll keep at it for a while, then, to see what else turns up.

That is an axe?

She stashes it in her bag for Dylan to explain later and goes back to fishing.
greatestgift: (c. doubt)

[personal profile] greatestgift 2015-04-01 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
So many pocket-sized fish!

Time to go back and ask her guide what in the wide green world is up with that fish-saw.

She returns to Dylan's house, and gets the sawtooth shark out of her bag, and holds it up, and says "What."

"It's a fish," she says. "A fish with saw teeth. And it thinks it's an axe."
