LIGHT

Warmth, love and kindness.
The Life Stream glimmers and glitters with joy, swirls of shimmering dust dancing around the ray of life.
It was time for new ones to test their wings.



One by one, new adventurers now arrive in the Tree. As one gain wings and rises to the second floor, another light brings in the next person. Soon, a steady stream of people from all kinds of worlds, times and realities come to join the others. Whether confused, angry, excited or scared, your arrival is welcomed with nothing but joy as the fireflies and glow worms descend to greet their new friends.

The Tree offers no explanation and no reason, but the truth is undeniable.

As you will soon realize, it isn't easy to be tiny.

Last names, to Kuvira, belonged to those with fabulously wealthy families, like her mentor. She's a little put off by how common they are here.

"Investigate them. The food will be gone by tomorrow - our captors will either bring more then, or we'll be in trouble. I don't see any reason not to use the houses, but it's worth looking for other possibilities too. Why, do you feel differently?"

If Kaoru was the more imaginative sort, he might have mentioned that there were fairy stories in which eating food whilst one had been whisked away to parts unknown was kind of sort of a bad idea. But he wasn't, so he was mostly just worried about what would happen if they didn't get more of it the next day.

"We should secure our own sources of food. Relying on handouts is dangerous. If there's a cold snap and we're not prepared, we'll be in trouble. We don't know what's in the upper regions of this tree, either. Even healthy trees can be home to parasites and structural weaknesses. ...We might have to worry about birds looking for a meal."

After all, they could be considered insects infesting this particular tree. Why shouldn't a passing bird try to gobble them up?

"It's chilly as it is. I'm not sure anything can be grown in this kind of weather - inside, maybe." The light of the fireflies and glowworms is pretty clear and steady. She supposes it might work. "Sentries to look out for hostile wildlife should be feasible."

"You can still find some plants in the winter," he said. He'd had to do it before, after all.

"Animals, too. They're good protein." Something like a dormouse should be plenty of food! If he could find one and kill it, that was.

Hunting, another thing she hasn't had experience with. If she was inclined to do so she might have made a face. "Maybe they can be baited and trapped."

"Have you ever built any?" asked Kaoru. Kuvira didn't really look like a hunter or a trapper, but who knew?

"The materials will be different. Plant fibers, maybe."
betterthanwu: (more than what they've seen)

"I haven't," she admits solemnly. There's no reason to lie. "But if metal needs to be shaped, I will be of use."
survivorsyndrome: (Kaoru: it's hard and no one)

"No one knows how the first time," said Kaoru. "It's trial and error. I don't know how much metal we're going to find around here, though."

It seemed very... woody. Then again, they were so small that they probably didn't even need that much.
