Roxy: Still tanning
Serina: Alright, let's see here... Ok, the elixer is ready.
Deano: Guarding the bowl with his life, while tied up in rope
Serina: Hehe... I'd rather ensure that you didn't eat it, so... sorry about the ropes...
Deano: No, no it's fine... Probably was a good idea anyway...
Roxy: Mmmmm... This sun is so warm...

Serina: Yes, you will be able to continue...
Mundle: FINALLY...
Serina: It was nice to meet you all... I am sure we shall be re-aquainted in time...
Roxy: What do you mean ? Aren't you coming with us ?
Serina: I am not at this point, but I will likely join you once I meet you on the road once again.
Bob: Well, thanks for helping us...
Melissa: Yes, it's much appreciated.
Serina: Glad I could help you, but I must be off...
Serina: There are many more like you out there that may reequire similar assistance. I leave you now...
All: BYE !! Waving
Bob: Man, I can't believe we let fighting break out between us...
Melissa: Hmmm... Nodds
Mary: Well, let's at least try and get along, with as little fighting as possible.
Morice: Indeed...
Bob: Alrighty then ! Let's get back on the road !
All: YEAH !!
They start down the road once more
Iggy: Woah... What is that ?
Bob: What the hell are you talkin' about ? And how can you see halfway decent anyway ? I thought you said you were goin' blind !
Iggy: Yeah, I know... I am going blind. But I swear... There was a huge frikin'
spider-lookin' thing, that kinda looked like a bulborb er somethin' !!
Morice: Oh come now, that's highly unlikely...
Iggy: I'm serious man !! It walked across the road, like maybe a mile away !
Deano: Maybe you oughtta eat somethin' or rest... I'm thinkin' you're going crazy...
Iggy: I AM NOT JOKING GUYS !! LOOK, IT'S CROSSING THE ROAD !!

Deano: Grabs Iggy All right, Iggy... You need to chill.
Drags him away, towards a waterfall and stream not too far away
Melissa: Man... Iggy's actin' just a bit nuts huh ?
All: nodding
Bob: We'll be at the stream. Meet us there... We'll be able to relax a bit.
Melissa: Alright. I'll be there shortly... I think I'll just take my time...
Bob: Ok.
The rest of the group walks off
Melissa: Sigh... Well... at least the fighting has stopped... I wonder if Bob even realizes it. Probably not... Oh well... She starts walking down the road
about 2-3 of walking
Melissa: Humming with her eyes closed, while walking
?: Walking backwards while waving arms
Melissa & ?: OOMPH !!
Melissa: Jeez... Who or what did I hit ?
?: Well, this is an interesting start to my trip...
Melissa: Huh ?
?: Oh, hi there.
Melissa: Hi... I'm sorry, I had my eyes closed...
?: No, no... It's fine ma'm. I had my back turned, while walking.
Probably wasn't so smart...
Melissa: Let me help you with your things.
?: Thank you.
They pick up his stuff
Melissa: I'm afraid I don't know your name...
?: My name is Don. Don Sashimi... And you are ??
Melissa: I'm Melissa...
Don: Well, Miss Melissa, I'm very grateful for your help, but I'm burning daylight... I need to find a supply of water...
Melissa: Oh ! There's actually a stream up ahead. I'm meeting the group there.
Don: Group ? You mean there's others on the road ?
Melissa: Yes. I'm traveling with them. Maybe you could come along as well.
Don: Hmmm... Yes, I think that would be a good idea. It's always good to travel with a companion or two.
Melissa: Well, actually... It's more like 8 of us, including me...
Don: 8 !! Oh wow... That's more of a traveling Band ! hahah...
Melissa: Yeah, you could say that... Just wondering... Why is your last name Sashimi ?
Don: Oh, haha... Actually it's an alternative last name that my home town has given me. I guess you'd call it a nickname of sorts...
Melissa: I see, but why do they call you Sashimi ?
Don: Oh, right. Well, I actually used to be a martial arts instructor, but had decided to retire. One night, I wanted a fish dinner, and had accidentally read a different recepie than I was planning on. It happened to be a guide for making sushi... So, over a short period of time, I had been able to make it without the guide, and have found my new calling in life.
Melissa: Wow. You should chat with Morice and Mary; They're chefs too.
Don: Well then, let's meet up with the group shall we ?
Melissa: Yeah... It's getting dark out quick... Let's hurry...
They head towards the stream where the group has set up camp
End Part 11
Extra Info:
Storyline-
Thanks to Serina's help, the group has officially been able to start the trip up once again. What will await them on the long road ahead ? Will Don be accepted into the group ? Will they really meet up with Serina again ? And if a tree falls in a forest, will someone actually hear it from far away ?? Hell if I know.
These questions, and more will be answered in :
The Road Less Traveled Part 12 !! (Except for the one about the tree falling... You'll have to look elsewhere for that one...)

Character Bio:
Don is a retired martial arts instructor who accidentally learned to make sushi. (Oddly enough, his nickname isn't actually sushi...) He's a gentleman towards many others, and is a kindhearted guy. He carries a ton of cooking implements, including pots, pans, and blades of various sizes. He hates conflict, and will not take sides when fighting occurs. He will try to break it up, however and will also take the time to listen to both sides, or help both of them see where they're right and wrong...
