Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen will show up at Emiko's place Friday after class. He has brought the supplies for their trip, it is more than most people would be taking on the trip, but with the extra food and some gadgets he is bringing with him, it will probably take him a couple trips, but it is Bart, thats a few minutes max.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko is at her apartment, her own supplies consisting of the clothes she's wearing, a small backpack with a bedroll on top, and her bow and arrows. When she sees the pile of things Bart has brought along, she laughs, "I take it we're 'glamping' after all? Or do you just not trust my ability to feed you for the next few days?" She winks at him and leans up to brush a kiss to his lips. "Hello, by the way."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen kisses her back, and says "I am not sure what dino will taste like, plus, I want to take some samples, and pictures, and such. He shows her a couple backpacks are full of science. Seems Bart wants to learn while they are there. He smiles and says "I got a solar charger for camera and such, but only high tech camping stuff, are a few things might try out for Tim.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Chuckling, Emiko laughs lightly, "Well, if it's for Tim's research and your science... alright." She squeezes his hand and glances at everything, "You might want to take me over there first, and I'll start setting camp while you bring everything else along."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and scoops her up in his arms, and then they are off, passing through Canada, and through a bit of cold, before he finds the pass and follows it down to the land of the lost the Savage land. He will find a clearing and sets her down here "Think this will do?" He asks her taking the pack he had on off to leave here while getting prepped to go get the rest.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko holds tight and enjoys the ride as they zoom out to the Savage Lands. When he sets her down, she looks around, giving a few nods. "For a weekend, this will be fine. If we were staying longer I would suggest we move up into the trees." She flashes him a grin and kisses his cheek, then goes about unpacking and setting up the tent on the flattest surface area she can find.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and will head back, and it takes him a few minutes, but soon all the gear is here, and he smiles over at her "We could do something in the trees, but if we did think we should try to make it so it might be there if we come back or someone else needs it

Emiko Queen has posed:
"I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to coming back, or to setting up something usable by others. Might be fun! And then we can keep all this expensive tech off the moist soil." Emiko turns a grin towards him. "And it might be fun to play Robin Hood for a bit. Living in the trees, only coming down to hunt or forage..."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen smiles and nods his head a bit to this and says "Ok, well what do we need to find to start making a place? Your Robinson Crusoe, I am your boy Friday." He offers to her with a smile and strikes a pose foot on one of the crates

Emiko Queen has posed:
Laughing delightedly, Emiko pull him down into a firm kiss, then grin, "Come on, Boy Friday. We'll need wood or bamboo to make platforms. If we don't have hammer and nail, then we'll want rope or hemp for binding and ladders. We'll want to start trying out moss and bark for tinder and try to find some smooth, flat stones that we can use to build a cooking surface from because lighting a fire on wood and rope is a bad idea."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit and will let her lead the way. He resists the urge to zoom around and get the stuff, but once she finds a bit of it, he does harvest it at speed, and takes it back to the campsite before returning smileing at her "Zug zug."

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko is more than happy to let Bart collect while she gets started on the 'making'. Once materials are gathered, she explains as she works, "So what I'm doing is trying to make half-planks, so the underside of the plank is still rounded and contoured and keeps it's bark. This hemp weaves pretty easy into rope, and we'll make a sort of... float. Pack any gaps or holes with this mixture of mud, sand, and moss so it helps keep everything in place. Then we have to get the platform into the tree. We can expand and build out from there."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this and he is pretty good with the weaving and such. "So we are starting off with making a raft to anchor into the tree, and then work from there, anchoring the rest as we make it?

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Exactly. This way it can become as large or as small as we want it. We never take on more than we're sure we can handle. So like.. after we anchor this into the tree, we might want to build a small hut on it. Or maybe we want to just keep using the tent. Maybe we want to bridge across to another tree that has a better vantage point." Emiko shrugs and smiles up at him as her hands continue working.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen hmms and nods his head a bit to this and says "Make sense, where did you learn this if I may ask." He smiles over to her. "Least you have your own power saw here with you." He offers her a smile

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Mmmmm, that DOES make this easier," Emiko smiles up at him, then looks back to what she's doing. "During my childhood. I had to be able to fend for myself, nobody was going to take care of me. That meant making my own shelter, learning how to make my own food, how to hunt for it... if they'd had the resources there, I'm pretty sure I would have had to weave and cut and sew my own clothes."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "You are enjoying this, not just doing it cause I wanted to come right hon?" He asks, concern that they might be bringing up hard memories for her

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko pauses, setting aside the hemp she's weaving into rope and stands up, pulling him into a tight hug, "I love you for asking. But no." She looks up at him with a smile, "Just because the childhood sucked, doesn't mean there weren't parts that I liked learning about. Learning self-sufficiency was.. nice. I got to take pride in having made my own shelter, cooked my own food."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and holds her close and says "ok, I just want to make sure hon, I know we were raised way different, and I don't want to miss something important, cause I have not experienced it or miss something important to you.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko squeezes him tight and gives a nod, "And I truly, deeply appreciate that. But I will let you know if something is triggering bad memories or feelings." Leaning up, she kisses him and smiles, "And I hope you will too, if that happens with you."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this and says "Will do, but most of my memories are good, long as we don't have to eat chive sandwiches" He grins over at her, and starts working on making all the boards the same size for her next.

Emiko Queen has posed:
Emiko blinks at him, "Chive... no. That doesn't even sound appetizing.." Letting out a small laugh, she smooches his cheek and goes back to making the ropes they'll need to haul everything up and keep it all together.

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this and says "Max grew a garden one year, and that was all he grew." He tells her, and hmmms "I might have to check something down the road, am curious if I can phase something into a tree and not hurt it

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Oof. That sounds pretty harsh," Emiko shakes her head and chuckles, then glances to him, to the planks, then up to the tree, "You mean like... could you anchor the platform -in- the tree without hurting it?" She purses up her lips and frowns, "I mean... I'm pretty sure you could, but we would want to cut a large enough opening in the platform where the tree would be able to grow through it so we weren't cutting off the top half of the tree from the bottom half. And we would still probably want to brace it with supports, just to be safe. But those could be phased in too, I imagine."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods, and says "Was thinking more to limbs and part of the trunk, not all of it, but yea, thinking might be able to do it and it work sorta like grafting plants."

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Well, there's definitely precedent for it. Trees have been... crafted.. to grow in ways and around objects that they wouldn't do without human intervention. My only concern is making sure that anything we 'phase' into place becomes part of the tree rather than cutting off part of the tree from the rest of the tree." Emiko gives a nod and looks up at the tree, frowning as she thinks it through, "We could probably use the branches and trunk to support the platform completely..."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this and says "Well, I say we start with the vines and such, I want to experiment with it on a smaller tree and object, have seen some in the past who have had problems with things exploding when phasing want to make sure that does not happen

Emiko Queen has posed:
"Sure, that makes sense." Emiko rises up and hands him a few lengths of rope, "You want to take some of these and a plank or two and see how things pan out? I'll keep working on getting stuff put together."

Bart Allen has posed:
Bart Allen nods his head a bit to this and heads out to find a smaller tree, something if things go wrong he aint hurting an older tree, and less potential damage. After a bit he will return, and says "You have to see this." Scooping her up and taking her back to where he was where they can see a momma and baby tritops in the distance "Look."
