And the lights go out...

[bostonhowler]

Who: Brigid and open
When: Days 100-102
Where: Everywhere
What: Wolves have no trouble seeing in the dark, so, Brigid is only put out by not being able to cook.
Note: I know it's way late, and I so, so apologize. I fail.

OOC: Brigid is going to be everywhere at some point. She's not involved in the sea monster plot, but she is fishing, and she will still be hunting after dark sometimes, since darkness doesn't bother her.

I had tentative plans with Magneto, Derek, Dilandau? Everyone else is welcome to smack into her.

"It is an unfortunate reality," Daneel agrees. "I do wish there was something more I could do. Unfortunately, I, like everyone else here, am without that ability. I am glad I don't consume limited resources that can help others, at least."

If he did have to eat, and things became that desperate, well... he doesn't like to think about that possibility, and what he might have to choose to do.

She sighs. "My metabolism means I should eat more than I am, but there isn't enough food to go around, unfortunately. I'm hoping once the gardens start producing that will be alleviated some, but it doesn't look all that promising."

Her fingers shove her hair back, watching the waves roll in. "Like I told Derek, this is all just basic psychological warfare. I wonder if they're trying to see which world cracks first."

He frowns, his attention caught. "You have a higher than average food requirement?" There must be a reason for that, or perhaps it's only a personal quirk. "Then you are not eating enough to satiate you. This is... unfortunate."

Daneel doesn't really know what the best solution is. If one individual has a higher-than-normal need for food -- say, for example, half again as much -- then what is the fair thing to do? Force that one person to go hungry? Take a share from everyone else so that they do not? Neither is a good situation.

"I have good hopes for the gardens." He has to. He doesn't like the alternative. "In the meantime, are you suffering from a lack of food?"

[bostonhowler]

"A bit? It's not too bad, unless I'm injured, or doing a lot of... extra things?" Shifting, fighting, running. She's being careful, though. "I'm eating enough, since I'm not feeling any ill effects of nutritional lack, I'm just used to eating, well, more."

It's a difficult thing to explain to someone who doesn't understand how wolves work. She's not even sure of the biology.

"There has to be more here, that we're just not harvesting. I realize we can't harvest everything, but we're either missing some things, or the scientists really didn't think this through." She's hoping it's the former, or that they'll get regular food drops again.

[thezerothlaw]

"I'm certain there must be. Plants, wild animals, fish are available to us, although perhaps it's no longer safe to fish."

That's troubling, for Daneel. They don't need any more problems than they already have.

"Everything must be cooked rather than eaten raw; more nutrients can be absorbed through cooked food. If you are ever going short, then please let me know. Perhaps I might be able to help in some way."

Brigid smiles and puts her hand on Daneel's arm. "Thank you. That means a lot. But between Derek and I, we're doing alright." Because two werewolves are better than one.

She glances back towards the lighthouse. "I should go. Derek will be wondering where I am. It was very nice to meet you, Daneel." Brigid offers her hand.

[thezerothlaw]

Daneel takes and shakes her hand gladly, grateful for the gesture.

"Thank you, Brigid. It has been very interesting making your acquaintance, to be certain. I am glad to have met you. Please do be careful."

[bostonhowler]

"It was nice meeting you too, Daneel." She shakes his hand and turns for the lighthouse. She's been out long enough. Derek will worry.
