Calm Before the Cold - OTA
WHO: Steve McGarrett
WHERE: McGarrett House, Both Villages, The Inn, River
WHEN: November 21 - 30th
OPEN TO: All
WARNINGS: None to start
7I – Woods around House 114
Since the ice storm passed Steve had been working to rebuild their supplies at the house. With three of them there now, and winter coming in, he wanted to be as prepared as possible. Being a SEAL he’d learned how to live off the land in various conditions, winter included. Part of him even enjoyed the challenge of doing so, being out in nature… There was a certain peace to it.
For a couple hours every day, Steve can be found in the woods behind their house. He’s got a few traps set out there that need to be check on. None too close together, and nothing large enough to seriously hurt an adult human, but from time to time he catches something that they can eat - whether that something is enough to feed the three of them or not though is often a different story.
While out there he'll also collect things that can be burnt in the fireplace. At first he limited himself to things he could breakdown on his own, but after he found out about borrowing an ax from the Inn, he'll haul out bigger branches that have broken off from the trees to be chopped.
Both Villages - Path from House 114 to Main Village
When they’d moved into the house in the ‘new’ village, Steve had been happy it was so close to the open body of water. He had intentions of going swimming there regularly as well as possibly honing his spear fishing skills and various other open water activities. With the cold weather, however, that would all need to wait till the spring. Instead he had a long hike back to the main village daily. Not that he minded, Steve enjoyed the exercise and often traveled in a steady jog.
Inn – Borrowing Tools
Finding out that he could borrow certain tools from the Inn had been a huge relief, especially when he heard there was an ax. Steve had been gathering what he could to burn from the debris around their house but there was the need to chop some larger pieces as well. A couple days while he was in town he made his way to the Inn to sign out the ax, only to return home, chop some wood and then return back the ax back to the Inn.
Fishing by the River
The other location Steve could be found regularly was sitting on a rock near the river. His fishing pool was a long stick with a woven vine hanging down from the end of it into the water. It didn’t look like much, but Steve was often successful with it. Beside the rock he’d dug a small hole where he kept his catch as he tried for more.
Everywhere… Including Above.
Regardless of where he was, if there were others around he’d smile and nod in greeting. Anyone looking like they wanted to talk he’d easily engage in conversation.
All the while, he also kept his eyes open for others who either appeared to be gathering supplies or those who may be interested in making a trade. This winter was going to be harder on them than he liked, not having as much time to prepare as he'd prefer. They’d make due of course and he’d help others where he could, but he anticipating that trading what they could would help them the most.
