Key: 'Text' = Thoughts of character "Text" = Dialouge (Spoken out loud) Song: Pliocene - Cosmo Sheldrake (Hit the flag and listen while you read!) Mint/Minty is Jinxie's slugpup by the way, I don't think I clarified that. (Yes I named my actual in-game pup Minty, after this one)
Ep2- Monk yawned and forced his eyes open. He jolted back. Minty sat inches away from him, she must have been watching him sleep. Monk smiled and sat up, "Morning sunshine." He said, rubbing his eyes. Jinxie was scowling suspiciously at him from the other side of the shelter. "Oh come on now, don't be so distant. Talk to me." Monk said, stepping towards her. She tensed and narrowed her eyes. "Not like there's any other Scugs around here, and the little one can only make noises." Monk bopped Minty on the nose. "Fine." Jinxie said, straighting up and glowering at him. "How did you sleep?" She asked, rolling her eyes. Monk scoffed "Women." He rolled his eyes, paused a moment, and opened one eye. Jinxie wasn't laughing. He held his paws up "Okay, not funny. Not funny." He paused, "I slept fine." He said. Jinxie rolled her eyes again, "I've got some bats outside" She said, "Have some. You look hungry." It's true. He was hungry. He laughed, "Don't mind if I do." He strolled outside and popped a bat into his mouth. He caught Jinxie staring at him, still looking VERY suspicious, like he was going to lunge at her or Mint at any second. "Stop looking at me like I'm a 'maybe'll kill you, maybe not' skavenger!" He said., tossing her a bat, "I promise I'm friendly." He joked. Jinxie grabbed the bat and reluctantly ate it. 'Trust me now?' He picked Minty up and spun her around in the air. Minty squealed with delight, Jinxie didn't move. "Come on!" Monk said, putting Minty down, "That was completely harmless! Stop acting like I've got spears for hands" He joked. Jinxie sighed and smiled. "Heh. That's a good one." She said, letting out a breath of a chuckle. Monk smiled, Jinxie led him through a couple more pipes to a small, unlit campfire. "What's this?" Monk asked, poking the stone base with a spear he'd picked up on the way. "It's a campfire." Jinxie said, raising her eyebrows. "What does it do?" Monk asked, walking circles around the base. "It makes heat and light." Jinxie said. "I've never met a Slugcat who doesn't know what fire is" she laughed. "Well now you have." Monk said brightly, "How does it work?" He asked. Jinxie grabbed two rocks, "You just-" she smacked the rocks together until sparks flew out and set fire to the twigs below. "Do that." She finished and backed away. Monk, astounded, reached out and touched the flame. "OW!" He yelped and leaped backwards. "Oh by the way, it burns." Jinxie smirked. "Good one." Monk laughed. They caught some bats and roasted them over the fire. "By the ancients!" Monk said, "This is DELICIOUS!" He gobbled down his share of the bats. Jinxie smiled, "Glad you like em', Minty knows just the right way to roast em'." She nudged Minty with her elbow and Minty exploded into giggles. They headed home and fell quickly asleep.
