**Tadoe Rasrer and his son were out for a stroll on the walltops, when Torin asked to go for a camp out. Of course, Tadoe always loves some time off and agreed.**
Now, Torin, go yell Camping trip! really loud. Got it?
Sure.... CAMPING TRIP!!!
Yeah, dat's good enough. Let's just sit here and wait for awhile...

Linx arrived solely due to how loudly Torin was yelling. "Camping trip," he repeated slowly. "Like the one last summer? I'll... Go get my stuff. And Archon." Mokwa he'd have to leave behind. Unfortunately for all parties involved and especially himself, the monitor lizard would be unable to tolerate the cold weather for so long. At least Archon could come, though.

"Like I was just saying, I'll go get who and what I'd like to bring now." With that, Linx promptly left. No sense in wasting any time, he knew where they'd gone last time and it was easy enough to prepare for it.
He reappeared a good fifteen minutes later with Archon at his side. Both of them were wearing heavy-looking packs and the latter spoke as he approached Tadoe and Torin. "Hey, you guys, I heard we're going camping. Overnight, I assume, packed the canvas and all..."

OOC: Had to do homework  BIC: Well, I don't really wanna have a HUGE party, so this is a good party, let's role. You remember how far away it was, right? Two leauges. **The party left out of the door and were set to the place where they were last Summer.** OOC: Just skip to when they're there? |

OOC: Will do.
BIC: The walk wasn't so long, but it was tiring nonetheless. Perhaps it was the packs' doing. Linx arrived at the clearing exhausted, and looked around it wearily. Everything was altered with the seasonal change, but the inherent traits shone through. "Looks pretty different from last summer... Man, I was 24 back then."
"Yeah, but you turned 25 two days ago," Archon reminded him in a playful manner. "Let's get set up?" The mouse looked around the budding trees and then up at the sky. It was late afternoon already and they'd need to get the tents set up and the fire going pretty quickly. "Yeah, let's..."

**Torin noticed it was getting dark and never really knew anything about camping. Tadoe started setting up their tent. Since Torin didn't really do anything but stare, he decided to help his dad.**
Torin, stab this here pole into the ground here.... No, no, not there. Here! OK, got that.
**After what seemed ages, the two finally sat down for a rest, for it was very complicating to get a tent up!**
Dad, what do we do now? We set up the tent.
**Tadoe just shrugged.**
Eat? Long journey or so. I'm thirsty!

"Right..." Linx had finished setting up his tent with Archon's assistance some time before. It was roomy as tents went, and would easily accommodate for them if not more. It formed the bulk of their packs when worn, so it had to be rather large. Now he was fishing materials for a fire out of his pack. "Let's get some heat going..."
Archon gestured to where there was still a ring of stones from the summer before. It was a safe distance from the tent and still had the logs around it. "Check that out. We still have those stones. And some ash."

Hmmmm, interesting. I guess we'll just use dat one! Anyways...
**Soon, Tadoe had started a fire and started cooking some trout he caught the other day.**
Torin, what we got to eat or drink?
Errrr, we got some oatcakes, preserve berries, scones, blueberry cakes, some bread, some pudding, October Ale, fresh water, your fish, dandolien cordial, and that's pretty much it! What you guys want?

Archon said nothing for a few seconds, giving Torin an incredulous look. "So you've got what, six ounces of each of those? So you can fit all of that in your pack?... That is so much food it sounds like we'd be out here for a week! I swear, you guys come out here just so you can cook in a green kitchen without painting the walls!"

Well, I need to keep the ole stomach fit! Me ole mother used to think I was a hare. Yeah, we eat a lot, plus we thought other beasts would be hungry.
**At that point, Tadoe grabs for some oatcakes to toast. He also grabbed the berry preserve.**
Nothing like some oatcake with berry preserve, aye?

"Well, I did pack food... And a lot more compact than that, I'm not just out here for food, you know..." Archon looked around the clearing, then at Tadoe's food. "You do that, I'll be doing dinner for myself and Linx."
"And you didn't do a tomato this time, kudos. A lot more tropical stuff, right?" Linx was mildly interested in what he'd be eating but for the moment was content to sit back and relax on one of the logs, just... Rest his legs for a bit.
"Yeah, and I brought a pot that we can suspend over the fire, too. Do some nice cod." Archon had one cleaned, scaled and ready to go. First, though, he started to set up the metal rods with which he'd be suspending the pot.

You do dat! Ok, let's see, we need that oatcake with berry preserve, water, and more trout.... And a bit o' that cake.
**After all of that was finished, Tadoe started squirting water onto the trout while it was cooking.**
Dad, why you do that?
To make it sizzle, thus spicier!
**After that ordeal, Tadoe grabbed two stone slabs, for plates, and laid a trout and a half on each. He put some of the oatcakes on it and added one slice of cake each.**
There you go son, eat up! You'll enjoy it! How you guys comin' along?

OOC: Could you not progress in IC time so quickly?
BIC: Archon had gotten the pot over the flame, filled it with a reasonable amount of water and put in the cod when he heard Tadoe's voice. "Doing fine, while that's going I'm gonna go get the other stuff..." The 'other stuff' consisted of a small, short iron collapsible table which had a circular surface just large enough to hold a single, large, ovoid plate, two glasses which Archon filled with something pink and fizzy before setting down next to the table which was by the log, and an assortment of fresh fruits, including a selection of apples, pears, oranges, and a mango which Archon sliced neatly in two with a knife before setting on the plate. "There's a healthy appetizer, huh?"
Linx sat down next to his mate and sampled the fruit. An explosion of flavor filled his mouth and he was barely able to speak around it. "This stuff... Is delicious! Thank you, imports!"
