Characters: Presea Combatir, Yosuke Hanamura & anyone else who wants in.
Setting: Floor Six
Format: Action
Summary: Presea gather's material for wood work in the forest. She does this by cutting them down.
Warnings: None.


[Without a job to occupy her, a grave to visit, nor even the opportunity to visit the place she once called home, Presea had been harboring a feeling that can only be described as "emptiness." Her time, which had finally begun to move forward again, feels as though it has once more been brought to a halt.

She's taken to working on wood carvings again. It's not quite the same as it might have been back home, but it's a steady routine that she enjoys. Today she's harvesting wood from the forest, cutting down trees with just a couple swings of an axe which certainly weighs more than she does.

The tree falls to the ground with a heavy crash. Then another. Her first project will likely be a cart to make moving them easier.]

Comments

[Sephiran would visit the floor six forest every once in a while for a small dose of nature that his hand wouldn't pass through. However, the aggressiveness of the animals would quickly remind him that the floor was as dangerous as any other. He watched Presea cut down the second tree and temporarily decided to suspend his disbelief that a little girl was cutting down trees with a huge axe.]

Careful, child. The animals here... they can be very territorial.

Animals?

[A frown tugs at her lips. It is simple luck that has kept her from running into them thus far.]

Are you referring to the Tower's monsters?

[thelordsage]

Not just the tower's monsters, but the animals on this floor as well. I've gotten into minor scuffles with a few of them.

[Which, for someone who relies on magic, isn't good.]

[Growing up in a forest, she's familiar with most of the more common forest critters--birds, deer, rabbits, but none of those things should be dangerous.]

It is unusual for forest creatures to attack humans. Are you referring to predatory animals?

[Although even then, they will only very rarely approach humans, preferring to prey on smaller game.]

[thelordsage]

[Sephiran knows quite a bit about forest life as well... though Sephiran's forest is probably different from Presea's.]

It is unusual indeed... but the animals themselves aren't quite usual, if you look closely. Some of them seem a bit strange, like there's... some distortion to their bodies.

[...ah. She thinks she understands.]

I see. Then they've modified the wildlife...the monsters here seem strange as well.
