The next day it rains and rain so it becomes a day for chores in Sherwood. Tuck is working on the stew and doing some mending.

John, Allan and Robin are fletching arrows as Will hones their blades.

Daiki sighs slowly.

"When do you think the rain is going to stop?"

[will_scarlett]

Tuck is closest to the entrance of the cave and says,

"Looks to be lightenin' up. Ye know aught 'bout findin' mushrooms, Daiki?"

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"Not a huge amount, I'm afraid," Daiki answers honestly.

[will_scarlett]

"Ye wish to learn. After a rain like this, should find some good eatin'. Dinna wish ye to think all we do is chores,"

Tuck grins at Daiki, the young man seems rather bored.

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"Sure." Daiki is, in all honesty, grateful to have something to do.

[will_scarlett]

Tuck stands up and tosses him a cloak as the other men wave to them, mushrooms means a good dinner tonight,

"This way an ye can see more of Sherwood."

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

Daiki strongly suspects that most of Sherwood looks the same.

He doesn't say that. Instead, he puts on the cloak and follows.

[will_scarlett]

Sherwood does look rather the same depending on how you look at it. Tuck nods and starts out into the now drizzling rain,

"Ye e'er do any cookin'?"

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"Yes," beat. "Just not usually with mushrooms."

[will_scarlett]

"What do ye cook? This way an dinna step on that plant."

Tuck points to one that looks rather like all the others.

"Why not?"

[will_scarlett]

"Will give ye a rash that'll itch for days."

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"Ah."

Daiki carefully avoids it.

[will_scarlett]

"Aught ye've been wonderin' 'bout since ye've been 'ere?"

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"How do you mean?"

[will_scarlett]

"Ye mentioned that ye move among worlds. Seems a dangerous thing to be learnin' all ye 'ave to when ye arrive."

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"The DaiShocker database has information about most worlds in it. Including this one," Daiki says airily.

[will_scarlett]

"Oh aye an 'ow does it get that information?"

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"Well-disguised scouts, probably."

[will_scarlett]

"Would 'ave to be an why are they collectin' all that information?"

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"They want to take over every world that exists."

Beat.

"I'm not part of them, I just use their database." After all, doing mercenary work for them doesn't mean he's a part of them.

[will_scarlett]

"Ye must be very clever then to be able to manage that."

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

Brightly: "I know, I am!"

:D?

[will_scarlett]

"What do ye get out o'trickin' 'em? Did they do somethin' to anger ye?"

[treasure-sniper.livejournal.com]

"I found out a little while back that they used their portals to let Fourteen into my world. He'd take it over and run it, and answer to them."

Shrug.

"They've done it to a lot of worlds. The Demon with Ten Faces for the World of Amazon, Dark Kiva for the World of Negatives - whenever they conquer a world, they just leave somebody in charge to do as they like with it."
