2 - 4 Anomalous Basin [MIX]

I don't know why, but just as I entered, I began to reminisce about the fishing trips I would go on with dad when I was little, and then on my own when I was 15. It was just the right size for a lake, clear water too. Not too big that you might get lost, but just big enough to house a decent number of fish. Along the edges and in some of the grassier areas there were small trees spread semi-evenly, though avoiding close proximity... And there it was, just as I remembered it. The only things missing were the regulars. It was completely devoid of any "normal" people.

*landimg on his feet, Nowe looks around, surprised*
Just like old times... Weird.

*She does a somersault out of the portal and lands right aside Nowe, then takes a good look around the place*

Well, a nice lake we got here. Was it something you thought of from back home? *She looks at him with a wondering expression*

*He nodded, glancing around one more time, then looking back to Jay*

Yeah, but why is it here? It's nice to see it again, but don't quite understand.

Apparently that machine can take our imagination and memories and put them into form of some sort. It's kinda cool, actually. I actually was able to make the place where I spent a lot of my childhood growing up: my dad's forge.
Pretty amazing place we've gotten ourselves stuck in, huh?

Yeah, I guess so, but I'm not sure how I feel about my memories becoming public... It's not so bad this time, but when if I remember a place less flattering? Are they gonna know it was me......? I'll just have to work on not thinking about it.

*He rubbed at the back of his neck, hesitating*

...Should we get a closer look, or is there a catch to all of this, Jay?

Usually only if you try to take things from the area. From what Isolte was rambling on about while trying to strangle me, fishing doesn't do anything though.
Just keep an ear open when you decide to grab something from this place.

Anyways, you can lead the way. I got your back.

Doesn't sound like this place likes to share... Ah, whatever, I'll show you around but there's not much to see here but what you see now. And this place being what it is and a lack of extra clothes, I don't know if going for a swim is a good idea.

*He made his way to the edge of the lake, sitting down and staring into the water just to make sure before daring to remove his shoes and inch his paws closer and closer*

You should be able to do some fishing here, though I don't believe I died with a rod and I'm no hand fisher.

Well we do have a couple rods to fish with. *She pulls a rod out of her mini-pack, despite it not physically being big enough to store the rod*

We can drop a few lines in after we see what we can get from here, aight? *Hands him the rod*


Though, honestly, I'm a pretty bad fisher...

Do you mind grabbing a couple stones and stuff?

Right..

*He stood up, shaking the water from his feet and searched around for stones and the like at her request*

What exactly do we need the stones for...?

Victory?

50 TE Earned

Errh...okay.

But that wasn't too bad for a first field test, excluding the fact that we ended up against 3 flying things, but whatevs. How are you holdin' up?

I'm fine for now.. But I don't think I'm too keen on the idea that I somehow seem to attract their attention.

*He brushed himself off and put his hands on his hips*

Er.. What were we doing again?

That can get kinda annoying. It helps to have frillybra here to provoke the enemies into attacking her, but she's not always available on a short notice.

BUT THEN AGAIN, we don't really need her yapping and stuff here.

We should grab a couple of herbs so I can have Kitty boy throw together a couple potions later on. Try looking for the green herbs, they're usually around the trees.

*She takes a couple seconds to find a nearby tree and starts looking for herbs*

The member 'Jadarice Braithrad' has done the following action : Roll Die

'Encounter S1' : 3

Frilly bra... Kitty boy? Sounds like I have more names to remember than I thought.

*he shrugged and moved just a little ways away form Jay to search for herbs as well, however unsure of what herbs to get*

The member 'Nowe Lund' has done the following action : Roll Die

'Encounter S1' : 4

Alright, I think that should do for now.

You said you like to fish, right? I was never good at fishing, but it always seemed like fun.

*Picks the fishing rod dropped from earlier and hands it back to him, wondering if he's up for some casts*

Yeah, if I wasn't asleep I was probably out on the water.

Maybe you'll get better at it?

*gives the rod a look over before going ahead and casting the line*

I'll see what I get...

Hmm...

*She pulls a tiny fish out of the water*

Well...it's something, I guess?

Pff, I suppose so. Maybe you need good bait or something.

*he casted the line again and waited*

The member 'Nowe Lund' has done the following action : Roll Die

'Fish Size Lv 10' : 19

Oh, that's pretty good!
I'm sure we could put that one to good use~

Let me try again. *she looks around for something to hook onto her line...a stone*

Well. It doesn't hurt to try. *Casts the stone*

The member 'Jadarice Braithrad' has done the following action : Roll Die

'Fish Size Lv1' : 14

*dumbfounded stare at the fish, then at Jay*

I'm not sure I'll ever understand what just happened.

*just keeps at it the way he's doing it*

The member 'Nowe Lund' has done the following action : Roll Die

'Fish Size Lv 10' : 14

I was surprised that worked! I mean, I didn't know fishies liked eating rocks.

Well, another good catch! This is actually kinda fun...

Woop! *fling*

'Fish Size Lv1' : 6

Bah. Maybe it was a once in a lifetime thing.

Maybe..... Ah, why not. Nothing else here makes any sense
