"Oh my god! Babe, are you sure?"

"It's cool. We're cool."

"We can take a rain check if you want; I mean, it is literally raining—"

"I'm good. Now's good."

"We're good, man. 'Sko."

"Alrighty!"

[whyeverr]

"Hey, man! I think it's actually just going to be the two of us."

"Oh, for real? That's too bad, I was—"

"Who's ready to catch some fish?!"

"Alicia, hey!"

[whyeverr]

Summer is just around the corner, and we've been enjoying beautiful weather all rotation. So naturally the one morning Dawson makes plans for an outdoor adventure first thing in the morning he of course wakes up to rain. And a good 10 degree drop overnight in temperature.

That's spring for ya!

Oh well, at least the fish should be biting.

[whyeverr]

It's all fun and games until you're back home alone and all caught up on your to do list...

But tomorrow, we fish!

[whyeverr]

Punishment fits the crime I guess 😤

[whyeverr]

"Hey you know you still have a whole 'nother section to spray, right?"

"Oh my god, look! What's that over there????"

....

"Nice try!"

"Gyaaah!"

[cackling]

There's no out-pranking the prank master. But it was worth a shot. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[whyeverr]

"Oh! Does she like fishing?"

''Uh..."

"Let's go fishing tomorrow! Just the three of us."

"O—Okay! I'll see if she's up for it!"

[whyeverr]

"How are things with Alicia? I haven't seen her in a minute.''

"Things are good, yeah! ...She's just, uhh... nervous around big groups, I guess?"

"I mean, we are pretty intimidating."

"Right? [laughs] It's tough because I want her to get to know everybody, but when we get together it's always, like, all of us, you know?"

[whyeverr]

Tincture brewing will have to wait! ...At least for the time being. A deal has been struck to trade some pest control work for a hot meal and a few packed lunches to go. Nice!

(And thank goodness, he was getting pretty burnt out on quick meals!)

Right. Back to our regularly scheduled programming.

Dawson is up and at 'em early still in yesterday's clothes oops to dig into a productive day of herbalism — starting with a venture to the train depot to check in on the new fireleaf shrubs. It's finally established enough to harvest a couple sprigs from, to use in tinctures or maybe even propagate another plant.

"Cherry! Ahhhhhh. [deep inhale] Beautiful spring morning, isn't it?"

"I guess. If you ignore the aphids currently taking over our garden."

[whyeverr]

The lack of (non-dumpster) woohoo locations in New Promise has once again reared its ugly head...

But don't worry, guys. Dawson is nothing if not resourceful. They just pitched a tent real quick. 😉

[whyeverr]

Spending time together indoors isn't so bad. There's still all the privacy and darkness you might expect from the dumpster, plus a little more space to move around, plus music:

Jock Rock 2000, just to set the mood. 😌

"There you are! Let's get in this fuckin' dumpster, man—"

"You know it doesn't always have to be in a dumpster for me, right?"

"Uh..."

"Do you... want to come upstairs?"

"...I guess..."

[whyeverr]

Plans to make it an early night were derailed when Dawson's 'friend' decided to show up...

[whistling]

"Heyyyyy, Blondie! You up?"

"Biiiiiiig Red."

[whyeverr]

I made a lot of progress with Dawson's fishing aspiration early on and don't want to abandon it entirely (or rob him of this hobby) but with 2 unused CAS points in the bank from completing Octavia's aspiration I'm not exactly in a huge hurry over it either...?

Fresh fish is always a big win, though. Especially if Dawson can get someone else to cook it.

if anyone knows of a mod that i could use to transfer ownership (for lack of a better word — so it's not just dragged out somewhere on their lot) of fresh fish to another household without sitting and gifting them one by one lmk

Herbalism is slow, grindy work.

Seriously so slow I think I might die.

Dawson's outdoorsy lifestyle was calling for a break and who am I to deny a man a fishing trip?
