[amber; 001]

[ Amber entry is the name of the game today, even if it's one that has kind of a slow start to it. Namely two solid palm-down pats from one of Steven's hands, because he's still solidly convinced that this setup is cool as heck. Plus it never hurts to make sure your equipment's on the up-and-up.

With that taken care of, he'll be offering a friendly smile. That's kind of his M.O. ]

Hey there! My name's Steven, first of all. If you already met me, you probably know that. Annnd if you haven't met me, now you can meet me! I don't bite; I just live here.

Anyway, I actually wanted to talk about the spiders. Because I know they were pretty awful. And that they tried to web everyone and drag them away to get eaten. And that they were poisonous. Which got people poisoned. But I still kind of feel bad that they ended up getting destroyed. I mean, if they hadn't been awful, they could have been really great! And if their boss wasn't telling them to take us to get eaten, maybe they wouldn't have been awful in the first place? It's weird. It just seems like the Servant was trapped in the big spider, and the spider was trapped in the tree, and we're all kind of trapped in the tree, too. People do a lot of crazy stuff when they've been stuck in one place for a long time. It's too bad we couldn't work things out for everyone, you know?

Sooo, I've been thinking about it, and I figured if anyone wants to help me find a nice rock or something to make a memorial with, that would be pretty cool! We could carve something into it, or write a song... I don't know about painting portraits of them, though. That would take a lot more paper than we probably have. If you think you're interested, just give a call to this guy! [ He sticks his tongue out and points at himself with both thumbs, like a cool dude. ] And if you're not interested, I can respect that! Since a lot of us did almost get eaten.

[ Or if anyone would like to take a more traditional action route, he'll be doing a lot of poking around anyway. It's a combination of memorial-rock searching, attempted animal investigation, and probably more than his fair share of leaning over the edge of a branch in a reckless fashion because he's trying to look at stuff. Basically anything's open. ]

[ A life without risks is a life... without risks. Something like that. Steven takes the logical course of action and drapes himself over the branch to look at her upside-down, initially. ]

Hey, you found a good rock! That's great! And you even came to find me! That was probably a little easier than finding the rock, but I still like it!

Well, you can't tell if it'll work if I don't show you, after all.

[She flutters a little closer so he doesn't have to crane his neck or anything. Hikaru would like this boy, Fuu thinks. He's a little bit like her small and idealistic and cute so Fuu likes him too.]

I think we'll be able to write something suitable on it, once we find something we can use for ink and brushes.

I'm glad. Everybody's been so willing to work things out together! It's like we're a real team. [ He'll right himself again with that, taking a closer look at the stone. ] And painting would be easier than carving. That was a good call. Do people make ink with berries?

Re: action

Yes, to carve we would have to find some stone or metal that was harder than whatever type of rock this is. [She smiles.] It does seem like we've all been able to get along and help each other so far, even though we're from such different places. I like that.

[She hopes it will continue that way, too, but she doesn't know how likely it is. Cautious optimism!]

I think that's how ink was made originally... certain flowers, too, because they have such strong pigments. I'd rather keep the berries for eating, myself.
