Yeah. I put in an order. It's... It'll probably be fine.

I know YOU'RE gonna be super assed about this, but I can't tell you much else. :/ That's part of me calling in this favor.

[.....???]

Assed?
I was worried merely because the regular supply of food and items wouldn't arrive with the Ferry. That's how the Town keeps going. My order is hardly important.

I am not sure whether you eat up there or no, but decent food keeps your mind from falling into insanity. A lot of us aren't used to live without food yet. And here, we can't afford /not/ to eat.

[The lantern gets dim, remember?]

[beaconkeeper]

I get my own supplies off the ferry, you know. If you guys don't eat, I don't, either. We're literally in the same boat.

You totally CAN go without food here, though. Has anyone told you that? Generally, yeah, you'll feel best if you eat, sleep, and drink, but you don't need to do all three. You can get by on two just fine, so as long as you guys are all sleeping and drinking, TECHNICALLY we don't need to bring in food at all.

It would save me a lot of trouble if I just didn't bother with the food orders, but the thing is, I agree with you! Not having food would totally suck, even if eating isn't strictly necessary.

TL;DR - I've got it handled as much as it's gonna be handled. We'll just... see what happens on ferry day. At WORST, we'll fish out the newcomers' lanterns and see about reviving them...

[reigniter]

Yes I am aware of that. I tested it out the first week we got here. But not eating weakens our lantern light and I don't want to put people around me in unnecessary danger of having to take care of me when it could've been prevented.

Besides, decently prepared food helps with morale in general, which this place needs, especially after the hallucinations we went through.

Fishing is the last thing I want to do, even though I like it.

[He saw a guy fish his own body out of the lake and he did not like it.]

[beaconkeeper]

As long as you keep up with sleeping and drinking regularly, not eating won't be an issue. Trust me, I've been here long enough to have experimented. I only eat when I feel like it.

Eh, you wouldn't fish up much, anyway. You miiiiight be able to find some edible plants in the forest, but carnivores don't do well around here. Forest spirits die weird.

[reigniter]

I have found some wild berries before. I managed to make some tarts out of them. You've seen the pictures.

Are you certain there is nothing in the lake? I am not sure if you saw the footage on the network, but a man fished out his own dead body.

Die weird? Do forest spirits hunt each other?

[beaconkeeper]

Well, I never said there was NOTHING in the lake... Just, like, probably nothing edible and fishing stuff up is pretty rare. Idk what was up with that thing Rosinante found...

Hm. I don't know, actually. I know they fight sometimes and they've killed each other - it's not like they all get along all the time - but hunting specifically? Couldn't say.

When I say "die weird" I mean they're not like... meat. They kind of dissolve or something, I think. Someone in town was experimenting with it. Rosalind? Talk to her.
