Where two rivers meet

[Chambers]

This Scene was started on discord during site down time, the first few posts are ported over.

Usually he just let his fishing gear hook the occasionally fish on its own off the back of his boat, using what ever bones he needed stripped of flesh for bait, but fish get slower in the winter so a more active approach was needed.


Discovery park was a great place for fishing as it was where the Sacramento and American rivers met offering the best of both to the fishermen brave enough to brace the cold which today looked to be just him, well along the little stretch he had set up on anyway.


And the more professional fishermen might have had the right of it as the Moros seems to be having no luck if the empty ice bucket is any indication.

The cold added a good incentive for the days training session. Move or be freeze in the cold air. The Discovery park made for a decent change in scenery, opposed to the loud and dreary sights of the city as a whole. He took in the welcoming sights of the picnic tables and beautiful trees that had since shed their leaves. During his run, he was unsure of how warm or cold he would get, thus he jogged in tracksuit bottoms and a tank top with a jumper over the top. On his back he wore a backpack which consisted of water and snacks to keep him going through out the run, and was a continent place to store his jumper should he over heat.


With his goal to see the sights of the joining rivers he made his way over with a simple yet consistent pace of run. He did wonder if anyone would be able to stomach fishing in such weather, because as far as he knew fishing required stillness and patience. With the cold chill in the air, he wanted to do anything but stand still unless he had to. Expectedly he saw a lack of attendance by the river as he made his way round, but then one did come into view, a lone man with a rod and ice bucket. He felt that he had earn a break to rest a little and what better way then to strike up a conversation, as he made his way closer the fisherman came into more detail and soon recognisable.
He smiled to himself and toil with the idea of interrupting a tranquil moment by the waters but ultimately decided to stop by and say hello. In a tone that could be audible but was not shouting or loud, he spoke his greeting. “It's quite a cold day I was almost surprised to see someone out here sat by the river. How goes the fishing? any biters yet?” He could see the ice bucket empty but he simply assumed that a specific fish was being hunted.

Bundled up against the cold, standing on the shore the Moros has many small and inconsequential things on his mind, watching the bobber, regret at not bringing a seat of some kind, the cold. And consequently does not notice the arrow until the other man is upon him and talking.


Looking around sharply when addressed his expression relaxes a little as the person who has joined him is recognized. Speaking in hushed tones, something about not spooking the fish he had heard once."So far my skill as a fisherman leaves a lot to be desired lets put it that way." There were easier, more convenient ways to acquire what e was after. "And its the cold that's dragged me out here, dead baiting hooks doesn't work so well in the Winter." Fish tended to nibble more , that might just because they were smaller. "What has you bracing the cold today?" He could guess or assume but why when he could also just ask.

[Skye]

Out skating through the city on one of her many random explorations, mask covering her dark clothed self, along with a pair of proper gloves upon her hands. It was far to cold to skate through the city without some kind of cover especially when the night hours would arrive. Having taken the recent words to heart, making certain to have opened her eyes in advance, wanting to be able to tell if any differences or fluctuations would start to appear in the city overall. They were short numbered as it were, not interested in adding anything unexpected to their list.

Moving through the park at a slow pace, eyes carefully looking around, glad that she had sprung for the terrain model as she sees the two men by the water. A bit curious as she stops her board at a respectable distance and begins to move towards them with the board placed on her back. A bit surprised to see fishing to be on the agenda, but hey that was a marvelous pastime.

Softly waving as she approaches, kneeling down by the water and looking at the boober whilst playing with her poison bottle necklace. Taking a moment before speaking in a soft tone just loud enough to be heard should no one speak over her.
”What kind of bait are you using?”

[Asclepius]

Keeping the tone low to match Chambers level, he responded with a light laugh. “ We all can't be good at everything, not without time or practice. Shall I take it that this is where you developed your cooking skills from? Grilling the catches of the day?” He rubbed his hands together to keep them warm as he continued with conversation. “Multiple reasons really... Using the cold as motivation to keep moving while exercising, keeping an ear to the ground, taking in some new sights. However bumping into you is a pleasant surprise.” Who doesn't enjoy a little company.

He heard to presence of another approaching figure and turned his gaze to witness who it was. The face being covered held a worry in his mind, but with the combined details of fashion sense and the friendly wave, he could somewhat deduce who it was. The person approached and kneeled down and the soft toned voice sealed the deal on who it was. “You out here freezing as well?” He said with a smile and his gaze out on the water.

[Chambers]

The chuckle is restrained but a gentle smile indicates he had found the statement amusing. After all many mages could it fact become skilful in many areas without training, all be it temporarily. "This among other reasons yes." As some many thing in life even something mundane as cooking was layered with meaning and purpose. "Although supposedly you can get fish from both rivers at this spot, so you would think it to be one of the best, but alas it seems I will have to make other dinner plans." So the arrow was out training? searching? "It's good to be aware of your surroundings, although I think many might use the cold as reason to avoid going out." Meant as a veiled compliment, an encouragement to keep doing as he was.

His sixth sense goes off, a sharp look to the arrow next to him, but no glyphs appear and if it had been cloaked he wouldn't have sensed something. Standing with purpose, disturbing the fishing rod as he does the Moros looks around. The answer is quickly discovered the recognisable figure of, Skye a golden glyph burning in her pattern seen thanks to his mage sight approaches. Settling back into his seat, still on alert. A deep steadying breath is taken, exhaling slowly. "Maggots, spam and bread dough, seeing what takes." Which so far had been of course nothing.

[Skye]

Letting go of her paths of powers spell, it was one thing to check for things herself like this on rare occasions but when being around fellow awakened it might lead to something bad.

Patting her board whilst slowly rising back up, having noticed the more hushed voices, intent on keeping it up as she answers her fellow arrow.
”Can΄t let a little cold stop me, besides the sun is much calmer this time of the year.” Creaking her neck. ”And need something to cool down with after the gym.” Watching his outfit with an impressed look. ”Running on time or just for the exercise?” Not being one who enjoyed timing it herself despite seeing the point of such endeavors.

Looking back to the bobber and watching over the rod, trying to determine what kind it is but quickly giving up, all these brands were just to much to even begin and keep track of. Shifting her attention to the empty bucket with a shake of the head.
”Spam?” Looking a bit surprised, not what she was used to, then again she tended to have more simplistic fishing routines with less access to things, meaning reusing fish. ”Is it free fishing here or is it a license needed for it?” One of the most stupid things but oh well it had a purpose, like it or not.
