[h2][color=007236]The Orc-Grave Swamp Enclave[/color][/h2] "Meeb!... Meeb!... Meeb!" While it wasn't the most dignified of things to say, it was all Gredy could bring himself to say with his finger in his ear, turning it as he waited for wall of white noise that had consumed his hearing to fade away. His only solace was that those around him seemed to have been stuck doing similar things, so it wasn't like he was going to take a hit to his pride or anything. However, this still brooded the question "What the absolute hell was that?!" No answers were worth coming... even if the rain itself started to pour down. Those living in the mountain took to shoring up the entrances in order to ensure that none of the water poured down into the tunnels and risked flooding while those caught outside in the swamp sort shelter up high, favoring high ground if not actually climbing up into the trees. The idea of making a connecting path was a good one; however, as the sudden storm quickly proved, flooding in swamps was just a way of life that needed to be planned around. There was also the question of housing in the swamp itself... which after some thought Gredy gave an idea to. The path itself could instead be a walkway of sorts, set up in the treeline and suspended from the branches so that it wasn't on the ground and would (hopefully) be safer to travel on then going by foot, since there was less risk of predators or bumping into the poisonous and dangerous plants. As for housing... boats. House boats; Building a solid boat that was big and stable enough to support a hut or house like structure on it. Poles would have to be set up so that they could be tied to in order to keep them from floating away, but in the event of flooding they would just float. It also provided an alternative way of moving around the swamp; boats and rafts. .............................. As Gredy looked at the various gifts that he had been offered, he couldn't help but frown a little to himself in thought. He... wasn't used to all the attention. Not that he didn't mind it; Far from it in fact, but a part of him felt... conflicted. Not for the moral implications of having multiple partners at once (Slavery didn't exactly encourage the idea of being committed to one person forever after all because things could change in a hurry), but the more practical side of things. Could he reasonably take several partners at once and not only provide them with the time and affection they each required, but also continue to run the Enclave effectively? It was a tough question to be sure. For now through, he accepted the gifts and compliments humbly while giving polite compliments back, but for the time being was keeping his options open. [hider=Summery] Gredy keeps an open mind about relationships, but is giving it plenty of thought and not jumping in stupidly or worse... attempting to abuse his position of power for personal gain. Several ideas about how to connect up locations in the swamp/ travel the swamp are raised and are tested out to see how viable they are in practice. [/hider]
