Hungry like the wolf~

[wolfwithagoat]

● WHO: Eskel wolfwithagoat + various
● WHAT: Eskel's catch-all log for the June event
● WHEN: June
● WHERE: His residence and various other parts of the island
● WARNINGS: Event-centric smut and violence against robots - will add anything particular as it comes up.

((Hit up my event planning thread and we can figure out a starter! For reference sake, Eskel's "house" is the remnants of a wee corner cafe with a covered patio. The latter has become a makeshift stable for Lil Bleater and Scorpion. Most of the patio fence is degraded; he's shored up its holes and weak points with large pieces of debris.))

Well, it shouldn't be that hard to adjust a recipe to the amount of milk available - you just might end up with only a couple of servings.

[Zoe sat down next to him and took a sip of her own beer. It wasn't exactly her preferred alcoholic beverage, but it was nice to sit with a friend and share something.]

Well, we do have some more artificial ways of making food, but farming plants and animals is still a fairly efficient use of resources, particularly since we have much better tools for farming than your world probably has. And farmers sell their products for money and use that to buy whatever they need. I guess barter would be more common than using money where you're from?

[OOC: Heh, fun. Maybe they can make some sometime. :^)]

[Eskel begins in regard to the bartering comment.] Mm, sometimes. Mostly in villages out in the bush, now. Us witchers ask for coin first for our work.

[He seems pleasantly surprised that what sounds like old, traditional farming practices are still happening in the future. Can't replace everything with a machine, right? But the conversation soon carries on. They talk of their worlds; Eskel tells her about a particularly difficult month-long hunt of a monstrous vampire called a katakan. (Zoe may get a bit of info dumping about katakan physiology, such as how their claws keep growing their whole life which reveals their approximate age.) After the story, he's struck by a particular thought about Erku.]

Strange as Erku is, it's fascinating to hear about all sorts of other worlds. Even other monster hunters have it different. Playing this...weird sex game ain't so much of a trade-off for that. Hell, at least I'm getting laid at all.

[He remembers Zoe's situation after making the comment and shifts in his seat, failing to come up with an appropriate addendum.]
