I thought I saw frost across the river this morning, but I am not sure if it was just a trick of the mist. However, I do think I saw what looked like a deer behind the trees. I was beginning to think such animals did not exist here.

Which brings me to the question, do we have a hunting party? And if so, where are the weapons kept?

Many people seem to have their own weapons..but perhaps those at the forge could assist you?

[voice]

[oncefutureking]

No, I am more in search for a crossbow, or bow and arrow.

[voice]

[quiet_carpenter]

Most here don't seem to use those, sadly. But it could be made, if someone hasn't so far...

[voice]

[oncefutureking]

If there are none who use them, then how is game brought down for food?

[Voice]

[daughterofophur]

A hunting party? I don't know. But some of us are hunters.

[Voice]

[oncefutureking]

I would think it prudent to arrange one, as there would be more hands to carry back the kill.

[Voice]

[daughterofophur]

Oh? I've never needed more than mine.

[Voice]

[oncefutureking]

You hunt only for yourself, then.

[dragon_savior]

I'm fairly sure someone has a hunting party organized, but I don't know who it would be. I just tend to share what little I catch with Aaron, and keep my own storage in my home.

[voice]

[oncefutureking]

Hmn. I would like to know who it is. Having a number of us on rotation would probably prove more effective.

What do you use for storage?

[voice] He's referring to a refrigerator. |D;

[dragon_savior]

I cleaned out one of these white closets, used an ice spell, and that allows it to stay edible for a little while.

[voice] too high tech for arthur xD

[oncefutureking]

[a pause. even though magic is everywhere here, it still makes him uncomfortable]

Interesting.

[alias_saila]

You can eat the crazier looking critters, too, but they're a bit tougher on the stomach. Actually, a bit tougher in general.

[Voice]

[oncefutureking]

I would be alarmed if some of the.. beasts here were used for food. They don't look edible alive, nevermind dead.

[Voice]

[alias_saila]

It's better than us all starving to death. And rabbit-ram souffle isn't so bad. Just not a lot of meat per rambit.

[Voice]

[oncefutureking]

Yes, I have faced starvation before. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Has no one thought to bring down one of the direwolves?

[voice]

[ferretprince]

Hmph. Weapons are for neanderthals-

[He cuts himself off, reminded of the fact that Muggles use weapons, and Arthur is, in fact, a Muggle. When he speaks again, he keeps his voice forcibly neutral, though there's a hint of bitter disappointment apparent as well. He isn't too thrilled with the fact that someone who looked like he could potentially be a friend - Draco's first in World's End, truthfully - is a Muggle.]

If there are any deer here, they're rare. Most of them are probably eaten by those filthy half-breeds in the city.

[voice]

[oncefutureking]

[on the other side of the device, arthur arches an eyebrow at the strained tone. and it has him speaking carefully, though not without the drawl he had possessed before]

Half-breeds. Who exactly do you mean by that?

[voice]

[ferretprince]

The werewolves, of course. Those disgusting mongrels have practically overrun the city.

[While it's an exaggeration, Draco's voice sounds a bit more normal when he says that.]

[voice]

[oncefutureking]

Werewolves?

[this new information startles him greatly, he sounds rather disturbed]

The same as in legend?
