Remember this? We've gone ahead and sorted people into four groups based on their signups: hunting, fishing, gathering, and farming. You can check the assignments out right over here! Everyone who signed up should be placed into two groups, with a role (teacher, regular member, learner) commensurate with their level of experience! Let us know if this isn't the case.

You can find information about what each group is doing, and their duties, at the above link. Each group also has an IC leader--further questions can be directed to them, since they're the ones deciding what goes on in the group day-to-day! The leaders may have further plans for logs, etc. based on these groups' activities, but if they don't (check first!) non-leader members of a group should also feel free to plan posts of that nature. And of course, smaller team-ups among the group / one-on-one lessons / day-to-day interactions between members and the like can be decided between the people in question.

This post is for plotting related to the co-op! Want to thread out a smaller hunting or fishing excursion with a couple people? Are you looking for students for your character to teach, or for your character to learn from someone? Or do you just want to float the idea of a post for a group excursion? Comment to this post with your characters in the co-op, their role (learner, member, teacher), and tell us how they're doing with their new responsibilities. Then feel free to tag around and plot ideas for how characters could or would interact with one another in this context!

Lastly, in the IC announcement post for the co-op, the idea of starting additional sewing and cooking (especially cooking-by-fire) groups also came up. I'll also be doing a potential interest check for those groups in the comments--be sure to specify whether your character would be teaching or learning!

Please indicate whether your character would be teaching or learning!

nazuna knows the basics of cooking so he can probably teach if there's no one else better around

i literally have an icon for this let dirk sew

(HE CAN TEACH since he's leading Hunting and in fishing I don't know if that's too much. But the boy does sew. He sews puppets.)

Anyway Jay is a teacher in the fishing group, and learning along with everyone else in the farming group! He will defer to other teachers in the fishing group since he's never had to fish as a necessity and he's not expert at it, but he's happy to show any newcomers the basics. I'm also happy to have him partner up with anyone day-to-day.

He and Nike are also kind of running this whole shebang, of course, although personally he's happy to say "okay, bring your food to x location at y time" and otherwise leave it up to the leaders. However, feel free to bring any conflicts, concerns, ideas, etc. to him (and to me OOC).

Tara-Fay is learning (with some help from time magic) in the hunting group and helping out as a regular member in the farming group (since she has a little experience with a subsistence garden her family had). She may also moonlight in the gathering group if they allow moonlighters. She's very . . . grudgingly studious about it all, since she doesn't like this type of work, but she recognizes the utility in learning these skills and becoming independent. And she wants to be independent! So! I'm also open to any kind of team-ups for her and would love for her to get to know the hunting/farming group members a little better.

Thanks for doing this!

so Gaelio is a big, useless space aristocrat who has essentially zero practical, outdoorsy survival skills. The closest he ever got to proper Earth nature was vacation proximity.

Thus, he's firmly a learner in both the FISHING and FARMING groups. He is doing his Best, which is very not good. However, his illusion magic does actually work on fish, and Noctis began from the start helping him to learn with a rod (fish can smell????). Said magic's totally useless in farming, but he's no longer too proud to get in the dirt, so I figure he just... follows instructions???

Uh, probably don't let him and McGillis farm near each other though. Just saying. Otherwise, while he won't volunteer himself for teams, I AM HEARTILY VOLUNTEERING HIM and he won't protest. He needs all the instruction he can get and then some, and he might find below all the Issues(TM) he likes working with his hands.

also good for taste testing he doesn't care. use his body as you will.

Dirk will be leading HUNTING. Leading is awkward and weird for him, please help. Basically he'll split people into groups that include at least one teacher each and try to distribute learners and participants evenly between them so there's a good support group. That's math, right??? math is how to fix this??? (s e n d h e l p). If anyone wants to do anything with that, let me know? I figured it'd be easy to match up people according to whims of players as excuses to plot together but if there is anything else!

also he'll be fishing because he likes fishing but since he isn't a leader here mostly he'll chill.

nazuna is in the gathering and fishing groups as a learner. the closest he's been to nature is school camping trips so he doesn't know much about what's edible in the wild so please teach him so he doesn't die... as for fishing, currently he uses his magic to fish but he would like to learn how to fish the normal way too. one can never have too many skills. he's more than willing to work in groups!! the more the merrier so hmu if you want to do something together

ALSO he's up for joining the hunting group. his magic isn't strong enough to control boars yet so he'll need to practice with that first. he talked with jay about having someone who can fight be around just to make sure he doesn't get trampled while he practices so, looking for anyone who'd like to help with this
