[Walkabout] Evening of the first day

Okay, kids. Don't know how many of you know shit about livin' where there's no roads or pre-packaged dinners, but this is what I've been doin' half my life. So listen up.

First thing we need is water. Found that. It's south-east from where we landed, looks like this.

[And he gives them a livestream of the brook he's found trickling out to the ocean proper. It's not like your normal livestream, in that Riddick's vision is tinged bright violet, seems to focus mostly on heat and movement, and if you can parse through both of those things, you can tell it is completely unhampered by the darkness.]

Nobody come down here yet, though. There's predators on this island, or there were last time I was here, and most of 'em are nocturnal. So stay put and stay together until dawn, much as you can. Might even be smart if we did our sleeping in liminal space, until we find some sign there's still people here.

Second thing we need is food. There's animals here we can hunt, and probably some edible fruit and shit, but we've got liminal space, too. Anybody who can make food we can actually eat, do that. I'm gonna pop into liminal space to give it a shot myself, here, in a minute.

There used to be people on this island. Used to be, it was kept protected by a force field thing. I think that's probably still there, so don't go swimmin' out too far, or you'll hit it. Nasty shit happens when you do that. Ain't seen any sign of the people yet, but that don't mean they ain't here somewhere. Think that should probably be thing number three. Findin' out where the people went to, if they're still here somewhere. Might be a good idea to start searching this place in the morning.
failgoyle: (nope nope nope)

The predators are NOCTURNAL?!

[Of course that's what he fixates on out of everything Riddick's said...]

But that's when I'm most likely to be out doing things...
failgoyle: (wait wait wait)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-14 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
...at least I've had experience in the whole portal thing.

Nothing here's going to shoot me, right? Is there anyone here with guns? I really don't want to get shot again.

I mean, can't we ever go anywhere people are easily impressed and we could get mistaken for gods or something and have an easy time of things?
failgoyle: (wait wait wait)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-15 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I got shot last Jaunt! That is not a best case scenario!
failgoyle: (pursed lips)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-18 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, if I'm not concerned about me, no one else is gonna be concerned about me!

...I'm not sure being mistaken for gods would lead to an easy time.
failgoyle: (Default)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-15 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
What, having people start worshipping you has got to be better than having them try to kill you.
capital_asset: (Really?)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-15 09:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Until they start expecting things of their new gods, perhaps.

[Raidou's talked to gods before. Some of them are touchy about things like that.]

And that's assuming there aren't any native gods to take offense, like the dragons did last Jaunt.
failgoyle: (concerned)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-16 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I've got a lot of magic, I can...oh. Oh.

[No, he hadn't thought about existing gods taking offense...]

But look, if Ghostbusters taught me anything, it's that if someone asks you if you're a god, you tell them yes!
capital_asset: (Please be kidding.)

[personal profile] capital_asset 2016-05-16 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
...Ghostbusters.

[Raidou has no idea what that is, but it sounds appalling.]

Some gods might find that kind of subterfuge amusing. Others... don't.

Kivaara, my partner, is most active around the night as well, so maybe I can send her with you?
failgoyle: (huh)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-14 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
I don't need a babysitter!

[There's a pause.]

...can she fight or anything? Carry a bazooka, maybe?
summerorange: (Not Happy)

[personal profile] summerorange 2016-05-14 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
She's not the type to babysit! And no one said that any of us need a babysitter.

[Though Heavens know she sometimes feel like that to certain other Travelers]

And I'm pretty sure she can fight on her own, but she can also get me to help you out if you're in trouble.
failgoyle: (neutralish)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-14 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[You don't know Jules, Natsumi...]

I can still scream over the network if there's trouble. There's that!

[He's doing that regardless, pretty much.[
summerorange: (so not convinced)

[personal profile] summerorange 2016-05-14 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, she has yet to truly get to know the real him...]

Yes, there is that. But she and I...we two together can handle most potential threats without too much trouble.
failgoyle: (concerned)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-15 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
There are always a lot of threats on these things. So many threats. So many.

[personal profile] ofinspiration 2016-05-14 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
So don't wander off alone. [ You can almost hear the eye roll. ] If you don't have the firepower to handle whatever's out there, it can't be hard to find someone who does.
failgoyle: (looking down)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-14 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno, I've had really bad luck with everything lately. I got shot last time...
ofinspiration: (please stop you're scaring me)

[personal profile] ofinspiration 2016-05-14 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
We're all here, so how good can any of our luck be?
failgoyle: (pursed lips)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-14 03:17 am (UTC)(link)
This is the second time I've been kidnapped by insanely powerful beings with nebulous motivations and made to do strange crap; I have a special knack for getting into the absolute worst shit whether or not I want to.
ofinspiration: (I can't help this awful energy)

[personal profile] ofinspiration 2016-05-14 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Congratulations. Maybe you'll get eaten by something in the darkness after all.
failgoyle: (concerned)

[personal profile] failgoyle 2016-05-15 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm usually pretty at home in the darkness, at least...maybe...maybe they won't see me.
