⬢ action: home is where the heart attack is
[Niki isn't in the mood to rest, but it doesn't hurt to take a look at the place they'll be calling home for now. He doesn't get very far in his exploration of the apartments before a phuji crosses his path, presumably being chased out of someone's room. Maybe it's yours?

Niki has no idea what it is, but his eyes light up when he sees it anyway.]

Do you think it's edible?

[Is he drooling? He might be drooling.]

⬢ action: work like the rent is due tomorrow
[Niki isn't good at a lot of things, but if there's one thing he can do, it's foraging, so when the bakers ask for help, Niki is almost too enthusiastic to sign up. If anyone is nearby considering a job, Niki turns to them with enthusiasm:]

Are you thinking of heading to the ruins, too? I'll do anything when I'm hungry, but I'd like it a lot better if I didn't have to go alone!

⬢ network: sometime after...
(username: hungrybee)
[A few days have passed since their arrival and nothing has changed. They're still stuck here. Niki feels sick, and it's probably the lack of food, but it's not just that.]

Hi, hi~! If anyone can hear me, please reply! I've got a really huge favor to ask. I think food probably isn't going to be really easy to get here, so... If anyone is into hunting, could you maybe consider bringing me along? I don't like doing unnecessary things, but I think it might be important for me to learn. [...] Um, see, I'm a chef, so I think this might be the best way for me to help out around here.

[That isn't the only reason, but...]

I'll do literally anything! Well, I'm also an idol, so I'd really prefer not to sell my body if I don't have to, but I'm really desperate here!

⬢ obligatory wildcard
(ooc: anything else! feel free to hit me up with a random dream scenario or find niki anywhere where there might be food. if you wanna plot something, feel free to PM me! you can also hit me up on discord @ unblessedly)

You should start by learning how to catch insects. Even a kid can do that.

[ delicious! 😋 ]

[beepositive]

Oh, I already know how to do that. It wouldn't be the first time I've eaten bugs. I don't know if I can catch them at the rate I need to eat them, though.

[The bug population would die right out, and Niki still wouldn't be full.]

[seespotshield]

[ oh. as gruff as spot had sounded, that had been his attempt at friendly advice. ]

Good. You know how to fish or trap? You might want to try tackling a fishing line before taking on a monster.

[beepositive]

Nope, not really! But that doesn't sound like a bad idea. That's probably much more my speed. ♪

Do you know about stuff like that?

[seespotshield]

Yeah. I've caught a fin or two in my time. I'd rather take on a scalebass than a fangbeast when it comes to getting food on my plate. Even more than that, I'd like to never have to catch my own food, but here we are.

[beepositive]

Tell me about it. I was promised that I'd never have to work for my food ever again! But if it's not one thing, it's another.

[Like heroic self-sacrifices and lost memories and things like that. You know, the usual.]

That's just life, though, I guess. Anyway, if you've got any pointers, I'd totally appreciate them! ♪

[seespotshield]

If you're trying to catch something in the water out here, make sure you've got shade. Once you've got the basics down, it's all a bunch of waiting. It helps to have a comic book or three to flip through to pass the time.

The rest is all physical. You're better off finding someone to show you.

[beepositive]

Oh, that's a good point. Fishing takes time, and there's not exactly a lot to do around here, huh...

[He's broke, the internet here sucks, and his closest friend doesn't remember who he is...]

If you're not doing anything, would you be up for it? It's okay if you'd rather not, though~.
