[center][h1][color=chocolate]Edward Marsh[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] Ed quietly let the System notification ping off in his mind, he actually had time to enjoy and savor the taste of his meal. [color=chocolate]"As gross as this bug thing looks, its really damn delicious. I mean it really tastes like shrimp with a little lemon with it."[/color] Ed admitted while picking out more of the strange blue meat to snarf down his throat. [color=chocolate]"Kinda feels a little greasy though."[/color] He observed where joints broke off easy and where the most meat was contained. A random thought intruded in his mind. What would it taste like if he cooked it proper? Would it be like a grilled shrimp? Or maybe like lobster but already marinated with lemon juice? Must be heavenly. Goddamn he loved the taste. Seafood was in fact, Ed's favorite food when he was still human. In turn the seafood tasting like bug loved him and gave him enough points to bump up [Monster Analysis] to it's first rank. The ratman then noticed a familiar feeling of fur and saw Mother Rat beside him and inspecting him. More amused than confused with her, as well as hiking she was being affectionate, he breaks off a chitinous plate and offers a chunk of blue meat to the elder dire rat. With a faux Russian accent, he speaks to her. [color=chocolate]"Eat. Grow big and strong, comrade babushka."[/color] While he left Mother Rat to eat her dinner, he tore off another plate and placed some meat on it as well. Moving out of the burrow to give some food to Asteria, he looks off to the village and sees that even though that most of the villagers had dispersed, there were still some that wandered about the area. Likely guards and protectors of the village. [color=chocolate]"Evening. I brought you some food."[/color] He lays the plate beside her and takes a seat on the grass while observing the village in the distance. [color=chocolate]"If we are going to investigate that village and see if they have something that we can, uhh, 'procure' for ourselves, we ought to do it in the early hours of the morning when most of the village will be asleep and those patrol people..."[/color] He points to where the figures moving about in the village. [color=chocolate]"Would be too tired to notice anything amiss when we are there."[/color] He turns his head to face his Dire Rat companion. [color=chocolate]"So what you say? If its a yes, go on ahead and rest. I'll go take first watch. If not, I'm open to suggestions."[/color] [hider=Stats] LVL: 6 HP: [color=yellow]Injured[/color] SP: [color=green]Full[/color] MP: [color=orangered]Near Empty[/color] Effect/s: [b]SKILLS:[/b] Unspent Skill Points: [color=red]0[/color] Current Skills: Alert I (1.0) [color=green](PASSIVE)[/color] Beast Sense II (2.4) Dynamic Eye I (1.0) Rabid Fit I (1.2) Smash I (1.0) Harder I (1.0) Faster I (1.0) Stronger I (1.05) [color=green](PASSIVE)[/color] Muffle II (2.0) [color=green](PASSIVE)[/color] Use Light Equipment (--) Dexterous I (1.0) Monster Analysis (1.0) __________________________________ SKILL PROGRESS: Material Analysis (0.4) Magic Analysis (0.65) Warcry (0.4) Tremor Sense (0.025) Mental Resistance (0.9) Telepathy (0.075) Mana Shape (0.7) Focus (0.8) Shield (0.5) Mana Shell (0.4) Soil Manipulation (0.7) Overwork (0.9) Crafting (0.25) First Aid (0.1) Meditate (0.4) People Sense (0.2) Plant Analysis (0.1) Swift Swimmer (0.4) Charm (0.025) Repel (0.025) Stealth Kill (0.3) Blunt Resistance (0.1) Prehensile Tail (0.3) Mana Strike (0.2) Minor Heal (0.05) [b]Inventory:[/b] - Vine Belt (Shoddy Quality) - Healing Herbs x 4 - Bundle of Sticks - Flame touched crystals x 2 - Tainted Crystal x 1 - Gnarled Stick (Unknown Quality) [/hider] [hider=Action Summary] -Thoroughly enjoys his meal. -Wishes that they had a fire so he could know what it tasted like cooked. -Noticed Mama Rat inspecting him, thinks she was being affectionate and gave her some food. -Goes out of the burrow to give Asteria some food to eat and notices the village people dispersing, save a few. -Ed takes a seat beside her and suggests that they move at the wee hours of the morning as it would be more easy to sneak then. -Asks her if she agrees. -If so, he would take first watch while she rests. -If not, he was open to suggestions.
