The Snack Den

[Derik Fray]

"luckily its so rare or I would be terrified"
*shifting my gaze over to vay and sherrie and then back to everyone else*
"so what shall we do next"

[Firox]

(Just getting up from sleep)

*Vay* "just making a tasty dish everyone loves - lasagna, well two different kinds, meat lasagna and a spinach veggie lasagna, have options"
*in making Vay to be mainly vegan*

*Arval* "Joseph and I are heading out for a walk up the mountains"

"I will probably watch another movie*

[Derik Fray]

*looks to arval and joeseph*
"sounds interesting I might join you two"

[Firox]

(was just waiting for my laptop to finish updating, takes long at times)


*Arval* "sure its a fun walk, den is halfway through the mountains, just outside are a few restaurants, Japanese/Korean, Chinese, Hispanic, Greek, American, a small bakery, and ice cream shop... days we don't feel like cooking we can just order something, its about 3 to 5 minutes.... close by is a small town with grocery store"


*Joseph* "the mountain trail is popular with hikers, with families, and nature lovers such as ourselves"


(any first person speaking is my current sona, the one you see on my profile, in this case Grace, in mid November and December will switch over to Vay)
"I'll be taking care of the 6 young ones, promised my younger sister I would take care of them, at least once a week - there are eight of us, one or two of us, once a week will look out for them"
*all 6 had fallen asleep watching cartoons*

[Derik Fray]

"Ok good luck grace, Anybody feel like eating some Chinese food I will buy some and bring home for us all"
*Pulls a pen and writing pad from my lab coat pocket*

[Firox]

*I smile* "thanks, will be tough, six aren't little kits anymore where it would be easier, not yet old enough for school, its tougher"
(what might imagine a 5 or so year old in 'human age' - its 2 girls and 4 boys)
"my usual favorite is the Mongolian Beef, not too spicy, full of flavor"


*rest usual in Chinese food:
Vay also likes Mongolian Beef
Joseph loves spicy food, mainly General Tsao
Firox, and Arval same as Joseph, spicy General Tsao
Jyo likes the sweeter Sesame Chicken, so does Linette
Sherrie is kind of in between also goe for General Tsao, has a spicy flavor at the same time not too spicy*
*of course the 6 small ones don't eat anything spicy yet, usually we just get them spring rolls or sesame chicken or those fortune cookies thats dessert*

[Derik Fray]

*writes down everything and puts the pen and pad back*
"Okay I will try my best on getting everything, see y'all soon"
*heads for the door*

[Firox]

*Arval and Joseph head out as well, they are going for a walk*
*Arval* "forgot to mention, the higher path up in the mountain also has a hidden trail, filled with thorns, but a path that leads to an abandon mansion, reported to be 'haunted', we tried going in once, something spooked us"




*at the same time, making sure that ? is cozy and away from the playing ones, I gets caught*


*before Derik heads out, Vay does inform* "the lasagna won't be ready today, still prepping for it, it will be the next day's meal"

[Derik Fray]

"ok vay thanks"
*I say as i head out the door*
"you guys want to try and take another look at the mansion you mentioning it got me curious"
*Looking towards the the higher path*

[Firox]

*both Arval and Joseph head in that direction*


*by now I'm getting played with as before - two girl Vees playing by nose and ears - four boys more of pouncing on back, lightly nipping back fur and long tail*


*Linette getting a break from the six, takes a nice big nap, Zoran joins in*

[Derik Fray]

*walking up the path careful not to step into thorns*
"So whats the story behind the mansion"

[Firox]

*Arval* "no one knows yet, only saying that who ever lived there was scared away by an unknown force or spirit... no one ever seen it, only rumor is that it was build over an ancient burial ground - ? and the rest too scared to come this way"
*Joseph also trying to be careful - path is an unmarked trail covered by moss and grass so its a bit harder to see path*




*back in den*
*getting attacked by four from behind - two from front*
*Vay puts away prep work, heads out to town*

[Derik Fray]

*looking to Arval*
"so more or less somebody lived here and was spooked away that could have been anything like a shadow on the wall or something I don't think there is much to worry about"

[Firox]

*Arval* "could be, no one knows"
*approaching from outside, does look abandon, but still in good shape, could use lots of work to make it liveable again, lots of water and snow damage, broken windows*




*I roll on side trying to keep the young ones happy and entertained*

[Derik Fray]

"looks kinda beat up but if its clean as in nothing in there ghost wise or anything I think I found a new place to stay"
*thinks about how nice it would be and walks up the steps and to the door*
