Applesauce Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 As they sit under the tree, a dangerous scent lurker beyond the grasses. Maybe best not to go that way. Leo lies next to Baba near the tree. It's almost exactly like the one at home. But was that home? This pace is nice. In fact, it feels almost natural. Maybe he has some tropical ancestry in him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 16, 2021 Author Share Posted February 16, 2021 Nina scouts around a bit, being careful to avoid that smell from earlier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Pitter patter. Rainy day. As are pair of four wake up they have a choice to make. Go farther into the island and risk getting eaten or find a way out of here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 But, they can't make a clear decision. Leo especially wants to go in farther. In the end they decide to spilt into groups. The number 1 thing not to do in a horror movie. However, this is not a horror movie so no need to stress. Daisy and Nina will try to find the coast, Baba and Leo will go deeper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Cafeful not to touch the plant with no sense of morals. Daisy, with her big ears, can already hear the beach. While she walks in the rain with Nina, a question sturs in her head. 'Nina, if it's ok that I ask, how did you get lost?' Anyone would be curious, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 'I just did!' She giggles, jumping ahead. 'But... how? Don't you have parents?' 'Yeah.' 'So how did you lost them?' 'Am I being too much?' Daisy thinks. 'Well, if I'm remembering correctly I went to get clams, or something tasty, and when I came back they was gone!' '"If I'm remembering correctly?"' Daisy thinks, 'How can she not remember?' Then it clicks. The fact she doesn't remember, the fact she seems so ok. 'You've been lost for a while, haven't you?' 'Almost my whole life.' Her smile droops a tad. Then she lights up again. 'Hey whats that smell!' How did this pass her? 'Guess it's just natural to think everyone's like me.' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ah, the jungle. The true, raw jungle. Not like the rest of the island. This is the real deal. In they go when.. oh? Mud?? Baba stares at the goop on her large paw. And her first reaction, same as any sane persons reaction, is to roll in it. She don't know, just feels right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 When she's done with it she steps out to let Leo take a roll. The jungle's making them do weird stuff already. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 The morning brings hope hope of sun. Still wet. Drenched in mud and rain, Baba and Leo fight through the thick grasses making a path in their way. Leo parts the grass with his fingers. 'Hey... hey! I think I see something through that brush!' He says eagerly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Baba steps in front and drop kicks the grass standing in their way. ooo what could this be? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 'It's one of them demonish plants! But it's not doing anything?' Daisy observes. 'I'M GONNA PUNCH IT.' 'NINA WAIT!' too late. Nina rams her horns into the plants side, making a strange mushy sound. Immeditly it opens up to reveal an irresistible fruity aroma and seven large stems. 'Sweet!' Nina says concussionusly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Daisy picks a stem from inside the plant. 'These smell...' She sniff. 'Really good actually!' She bites it. 'How's it taste!?' Nina asks. 'Sweet! Sweeter than anything I've ever had!' 'Let me try!' Nina takes a couple stems. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 'Oh! Look at that! I think we've found the coast!' Daisy comes to investigate. Not just the coast. A port to another island. They must tell the others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applesauce Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Way back in the heart of the island the rain has stopped. Leo steps forward. It's a clearing! Out of all the weeds and bush on the island it's a relief to see. It must be, or have been, home to a tribe. Who could resist a place like this? Dew lies on the soft grass from the recent days of rain. A colorful tree splat in the middle with large, low hanging fruits. A smell radiates off the strange tree carpeting the whole place in a sweet aroma. No smell of nichelings though. If this ever was a home it would have had to been a long long time ago. And it goes all the way to the beach! DANG this some good restate. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Back over with Daisy and Nina a tiny plants sprouts in the place of the one they ate. Nice Nina gets hungry. The plant from yesterday was not enough to fill her up. 'Hey Daisy! Hear any rabbils??' Daisy is not in the mood to hunt 'Nope.' Secretly she always felt she looked to close to a rabbil to enjoy watching one getting eaten. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Meanwhile, at the clearing, Leo gets excited. He's never found an anciet tribal home before. 'Those nest must be where they raised their young! And this tree, so centered. Maybe part of an ancient ceremony! And this stump must beAHHHHHHH' Just as Leo jumps onto the stump he is greeted with a big-eyed, unblinking face. The ape stares at him with a desire to num num. mmmmmm I have come for my nicheling nuggies 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Leo leaps off the stump immediately. 'HOLY HERMIT WHAT IS THAT.' Baba knows they're out of luck. 'Run!' 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 As they run Baba says 'One of the apes. There's three types.' 'That was an ape? A lot more yellower than I imagined.' Soon they reach a safe distance and rest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Oh jeez While making their way back to the meeting area Daisy and Nina play another game of avoid-that-flesh-eating-plant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Baba and Leo can neither see nor smell the ape so they relax But while they walk back Baba notices something off. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applesauce Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Suddenly the bushes give a little rustle and out pops a man! A very old one too. 'Who are you?' Baba asks. 'Huh? Who are you, lady?' 'I'm Baba. Why are you eating the sunplants?' 'Hmmmmm never heard them called that before. I'm Pig.' 'Pig?' 'Yeah. Don't ask me.' Baba looks this pig man up and down. He looks fruzzy, a little crazied. She can't help but notice that he kinda looks like Nina... She decides to take him home. 'Everyone this is Pig. Pig, everyone.' Pig scratches himself on the neck and little black flees spray everywhere. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applesauce Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 'What the heck is a pig?' Daisy saids, confused. 'I dunno.' Nina looks at the new comer carefully. She, like Baba, sees the resemblance as well. She allows herself for a second to feel a rush of hope. 'Could this be a long lost family member?' By now, she had forgoten almost all emotional attachment to what used to be her family, but talking about it the other day with Daisy resurfaced an old dream she never knew she had. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
