Gaster

As Gaster made it to the clearing, he was pleased to find that there was no more jungle beyond where beyond where he stood. He leaped out from the dense wall of greenery and took a look around. It was nice to see land that wasn't trees and vines after so long. He went to take a step forward when his foot bumped into something. He knelt down and picked up the object he bumped into. Carefully examining it, he found he had run into a well cut stone. He wondered where it had come from, but he decided he would ponder it more later. For now, he would get to a place where he could properly relax.

After a bit more walking through the jungle, Gaster could see a clearing in the jungle. The sight of a clearing made him a bit nervous, but it wasn't as dense as the others were, so he wasn't as deterred as he would have been if it were. He began a steady jog towards the clearing, ready to go around it the second he saw more jungle. If there was anything that would make him feel ill, he might seriously consider turning around and heading back into the jungle.

Gaster stopped to look up at the canopy for a moment. He noticed there were some monkeys fooling around with each other among the branches from where he could see them. It was entertaining for what it was. There was debris from their games falling to the floor bellow, which he made sure to be out of the way of, and lots of fruit cores, and several uneaten ones as well. It was a special little habitat for them, and it was refreshing for Gaster to see something so peaceful.

In the midst of Gaster's hurried trek toward the outside of the jungle, he heard another, startling noise which set him off running. However, a stroke of clumsiness caused him to trip over his own feet. When he feel to the ground, his head banged off of something metal. Cringing in pain, Gaster clasped his forehead and clenched his teeth. He looked back to see if there was anything behind him, since he hadn't been killed, and moved his eyes down, his heart sinking with relief. Behind him was a single pika staring up at him. The moment he turned to face it it scampered off into the underbrush of the jungle. Gaster sighed and returned to the metal that assaulted his forehead.

Rubbing his forehead, Gaster dug up the piece of metal from the earth. He found that it was a small piece of uncooked iron. What a lucky find. Pocketing it, Gaster stood and took his time the rest of the way out of the jungle. He wouldn't like to have any more injuries as a result of clumsiness.

Gaster's steps were more rushed now than they were before. Perhaps it was because he wished to leave as quickly as possibly. It may have also been, perchance, that he felt as though something was chasing. He wasn't quite sure whether or not something was or wasn't, as something had made a noise behind him and he had panicked too quickly to do any rational thinking. He felt that if he slowed down to do some rational thinking now, then whatever is chasing him will catch him if there is. Although, in and of itself that's not very rational, is it?

After once again recollecting himself, Gaster made doubly sure not to have anymore unfortunate encounters. He wasn't sure if his body, or his mind, could handle it. At this point, Gaster began looking for a way out of the jungle. He was about fed up with his time there, and he felt that he was expending to much energy. If he happened to find anything else of interest, then he'd bring it with him.

In the middle of some deep thought, Gaster was ripped back to reality by a pungent odor. He quickly covered his nose and began searching for the source of the smell. After a time of searching under rocks, in trees, and pilfering bushes, Gaster found the source of the smell hidden in a cluster of rocks. The smell permeated the air from the carcass of a tapir. Gaster hoped that it wasn't the same one he'd seen get carried away, but all the same, the sight of it made him feel ill. If anything would come of use from the tapir besides its meat, which was taken by a predator, it would be what was left of its hide, which Gaster squeamishly took, quickly fleeing before he actually threw up on himself.

Not long after Gaster had abandoned the clearing, he felt it necessary to make a quick rest by leaning against a tree. His mind kept returning to the jaguar that had attacked that tapir, and the thought of it simply made him ill. After a moment of resting, and a bit of dry heaving, Gaster recollected himself. He took lots of deep breaths and cleared his mind. Before moving on, he also made a quick mental note to stay away from any more clearings he came to.

He came to another clearing, and saw a few animals peacefully grazing. He saw a few tapir, some monkeys lounging in the canopy above, and even a pika scurry through. What a rare sight! Gaster hid behind a tree and watched this wonderful scene play out, smiling to himself at the wonder before him. Suddenly, a jaguar leaped out, striking out at one of the tapir. It caught the tapir's neck in its teeth and strangled it in a rather violent way. It trotted off victoriously, its prize hanging from its mouth, and Gaster cowering from behind the safety of his tree. He'd never seen something so terrifying in his life. He waited till he was sure the jaguar was gone before stepping out into the clearing, and very carefully went on his way.

Gaster had been on a trail for quite some time. Since he'd left that monster behind, he'd seen a great many things, all of them piquing his interest on some level or another. He would have liked to stop and watch some animals, but he had a feeling that sooner or later he'd have to leave the jungle, and he might as well get some more searching done before then. Just before he'd passed it, a small patch of flowers was laying, basking in the sun. They looked to be made of a fibrous material, thus worth taking along. He knelt down and picked them up hurrying along the trail.

Gaster's eyes drifted down to his side, where he found something wedged under the rock he was siting on. Promptly removing himself from the rock, he wedged his hands under the rock and lifted it up, with much effort, and pushed it over, away from the thing he had found. Under the rock was a small hammer. It looked like it was made from stone, some yucca, and a stick. It looked like a pretty primitive tool, so he didn't think anybody from any of the lower towns would have made this. Regardless, he took it with him.

Feeling a bit tired, Gaster took a break to gather some energy. He took a seat on a sizable rock that was on the path he was taking. He swept the tail of his coat out from under him and planted himself firmly on the rock. For a moment, he examined the flora and passing fauna with a careful eye. He made sure to keep quiet, careful not to disturb the serenity that surrounded him.

As Gaster walked through the jungle, he could hear the soft buzzes and chirps of insects as they sat on trees or flew past his ears. Occasionally he'd hear the distant roar of an animal being slain by some predator hidden by the undergrowth of the floor, and the fact that he heard it from a distance made him glad he wasn't there. Other times he'd hear people yelling, but he couldn't quite distinguish who they were. Really, the jungle was quite the peculiar place, but strangely quite relaxing all the same.

Not long after leaving the bindle behind, Gaster happened upon another interesting sight. Up on a tree not too far away from him, there was some bark that stood out from the rest on the particular tree he was examining. The tree itself was quite damp, but one spot on it was rather dry. The first thought that had occurred to him was that sun beams might have dried that particular spot of the tree, but after some closer examination, he found that that spot on the tree was heavily shaded. Gaster approached the tree and ripped the dry bark away, catching some of the damp parts as well.

Behind the damp mask was a hole in the tree. Inside the hole, however, was sap. It appeared that the sap went further up the tree. He estimated that the sap was some how warmed by the sunlight from above the tree tops, but he didn't he wish to find out how, nor have the time for it. He was an inventor, not a scientist. With some quick thinking, Gaster found a hollowed out nutshell nearby and scooped up some of the sap, sealing it in the shell with the other half. He would have liked to seal it back up with the bark, but he didn't think it would be staying very well, even with the sap seeping out. He carried on, further through the jungle.

As Gaster passed through the wall of the clearing, he happened upon a lost bindle. Perhaps it was dropped here or left on purpose for somebody to find. One way or another, he'd found it. He opened it up and examined the bindle's contents. The bindle contained Some food, a bit of drinking water, a few other uninteresting miscellaneous items, and a bit of rubbish scattered here and there. After a bit of rummaging, Gaster found a hilt, bare of a sword. Perhaps it could be melted down and turned into something new. Having found something of interest, he repacked the bindle and carefully put it back where he found it. He continued to look around, scanning from the jungle floor up to the jungle canopy.

Gaster's attention to the dojo was torn away for a brief moment as Husky had dealt a great amount of damage. He would have liked to explore the inside of the dojo, but he also didn't want to make this quest take to long. Feeling a bit anxious, he timidly made his way over to the rock. Hesitantly, Gaster raised his fist up to the stone that stood in front of him. Holding in a deep breath, he pulled his fist back and threw it forward as hard as he could, and looked at its health. To his surprise, he'd done more damage to it than he'd expected to. Smiling, he took a few steps back so Avilon could have a turn at the rock.

Gaster nodded at Husky and began heading towards the dojo. On his way, he looked around the area. Among the rocky terrain, there was still some vegetation to be seen among the stone. He mostly saw moss growing on rocks or some untamed shrubbery growing here and there, but it was more or less well populated for the vegetation that was in the area. After a bit of exploring, Gaster found the dojo. He stood outside its entrance and examined its outside carefully before entering.

Soon, Gaster came to a clearing. He took slow steps out to the center, looking around the great space in the opening. Sun beams were peaking through the gaps in the leaves of the jungle's canopy. Vines hung from branches that extended far over the clearing, but the branches weren't plentiful, nor were the vines long enough for him to reach. There were several types of flora to be seen in the clearing, none of which Gaster thought he should take along with him. Fining the clearing of little importance, he spent little time idling there, and went on his way.

Gaster watched Husky walk up the steps and turned to Avilon. "Well... He seems like a friendly fellow..." he said, searching for something nice to say about Avilon's friend. If anything, saying they were friendly seemed like a nice enough thing to say. Gaster fidgeted in place, twiddling his thumbs and sheepishly kicking up some dirt. "Um... I don't think we should keep him waiting for too long, yes? Perhaps we should make haste and head up." Gaster said, looking around sporadically.

At the appearance of a new person, Gaster suddenly became very timid. Taking a step back to instinctively put distance between the two of them, Gaster backed up into the tree he had put Avilon under. With nowhere to go, Gaster shrunk into himself. He began to unintentionally avoid eye contact with the person, although he tried his hardest to make it, and began to pick at the bark on the tree behind his bark to keep his hands, and his mind, busy. "Um... H-hello..." he said to the person, giving them a small wave. "M... My name is Gaster...
I-it's a pleasure to meet you." he said, giving the person a small, nervous bow.

Gaster shook his head. "Oh, but I did have to. I probably didn't have to travel this far, but I did have to look for as long as I did. I couldn't put you down jut anywhere, you know. You were sleeping so soundly that I had to look for such a long time for a place to put you down where your sleep wouldn't be disturbed." he said, looking up into the tree. He looked for anything that he might use to be able to distinguish it; fruit, nuts, the kinds of animals that might be living there, anything. But he found nothing, and got bored of the tree. Tearing his attention away from the tree, Gaster stood up and stretched out his back. "Anyways, I'm glad you're alright. Shall we continue with some questing?" he said, looking at Avilon with a hopeful smile.

After spending some time looking for a suitable place to set down Avilon, he decided to set her down under up against a tree with a nice enough looking shade. He couldn't find any benches to lay her down on, which he thought was unfortunate enough, but hopefully where he put her was fine. Letting out a small sigh, he stood straight and stretched out his back, taking a look around. He had definitely carried her a long way. Gaster was out of the town where he left the woman and was now at the bottom of a mountain range. He must have lost himself somewhere and lost track of time. "Oh well," he thought. "Nothing I can do now, I suppose." Gaster moved beside her and sat down against the tree beside her, pulling his knees to his chest. He leaned his head back, and closed his eyes, waiting for her to wake up.

I'm taking this with Avilon and husky

As more people began to show up, Gaster began to get more and more uncomfortable. He was at the point where he was unable to speak to anybody. Cracking under the pressure, he collected himself and went outside. He leaned against the outside wall and began taking deep breaths. He took one last look inside the cave then, disappointed with himself, left, leaving the others to do what they would with themselves.

[Gaster Leaves the thread]

Soon, they had exited the cave and stepped out into the light. Gaster looked to Avilon to ask her if she wanted to get down, but saw that she was already sound asleep on his back. He noticed that she was drooling and hoped that it wouldn't be too much of a problem for his clothes, but it didn't bother him that much. Making sure Avilon was secure on his back, Gaster escorted the little back home to her mother.

When they had arrived with the girl, the mother was in tears, but was quietly crying as to not wake Avilon from her slumber. Gaster turned the woman's daughter lose, and she ran into her arms crying. "Thank you so much for finding my daughter!" the women cried quietly. "I don't know what I would have done if I'd lost her!"

"Don't worry about it, ma'am. It was the least we could do." Gaster said, a wide smile on his face.

"Ah!" the woman reached into a small pouch that rested at her hip, and gave something to Gaster. "Please, take this. It isn't much, but I feel like I must do something to return the favor."

Gaster stared at what the woman had given him. After a moment of acceptance, he smiled at the woman. "Okay. I will accept it with gratitude." With that, the two of them said their goodbyes, and headed off on each others' way. It was then that Gaster began to look for a place to set Avilon down to see how she was doing. He didn't find one immediately, but he hoped he would find one soon.
