Chapter 16 Part A





Afternoon to Evening of first day in the new world;

We'd worked hard all day trying to clear small shelters for people. The rangers led the way trying to prove their stuff and being excited by the fact that they now had a real RPG job with real abilities and magic. That didn't mean they had a lot of magic though; they'd have to work for it like anyone else. And they weren't god-like in powers yet.

But it did feel a bit better that we were finding a way to survive here as we worked to unlock more jobs and abilities in other people.

They began to take pride in scouting the area, making everyone stay hidden and even appointed people to watch as lookouts over the river and in key points over looking the plains that had led us here. In all cases however, they tried to encourage people to stay behind the trees so no one was in visible sight where they could be spotted.

With the memory of the orc battle being fresh still, people had no trouble with the idea of hiding and not being seen. Then there's also caring for the wounded that need cover and shelter.

People...students mostly from our high school, had even gotten cleaned up after that too at the river, even with the threat of being discovered they didn't want to live one more day with filthy blood and guts stains on their clothes. They did of course make sure those other two groups were nowhere nearby first. All of us had to hurry though, because we didn't know when they would come back and we also didn't want to leave signs of tons of people having been here.

And it was painful knowing the risk could expose us all.

People are trying to make weapons and train with them also. While finding food, shelter, and anything else they need. But we tried to keep people from going too far out on their own since that wasn't safe.

People were still afraid of being made into raw materials for orcs and being carried off so most people also washed their clothes and bodies with their clothes on, scrubbing at the fabric while wearing it is doable I found out. Although a lot of the girls didn't realize their blouses being white, made their upper clothes partly see through if they didn't have the uniform jackets on.

Unfortunately this made some of them violent when they caught guys looking at them, for any length of time.

I also learned I had to keep our new "herbalist" friend away from Rina, because he was trying to give her "medicine" which consisted of strange homemade "Joints" that he'd created, without actually knowing anything about what she felt like or what she needed. He wasn't doing medicine but just experimenting. Rina didn't like him anyway. Obviously they didn't look like medicine of any kind and Rina was afraid of him too.

It also made me wondered what he thought most medicine was, and what his version of healthcare was. But then I thought it would be safer not to know, and so I didn't ask him that.

While trying not to be rude, we encouraged him to try to improve and learn his craft first. He actually didn't have all his abilities and skills unlocked, as a herbalist class. He had to unlock them one by one just like anyone else. So him experimenting on girls wasn't a good idea. Within an hour another girl was also discovered to be a herbalist, but we turned her down as well for something that looked like the same thing.
