My hands and wrists are cramping extremely badly from all the typing this morning, so I'm gonna keep this one short.
We didn't wake up until late, exhausted from our long excursion. We had fallen asleep with our clothes on, but the first thing we did when we woke up was strip and take a bath together. I admit, there was a moment of awkwardness in getting naked around VV and Tinks, but neither of them so much as batted an eye and didn't seem to think it was weird. It's not much different from getting changed in front of a dog or cat.
Levy gave them a 'tour' of the island(with the whopping six interesting things on it) and explained things to them while I wrote my journal entry. Then she played with them a bit as I continued to write the journal entry. Then we ate lunch as I still kept writing.
The last entry was really fucking long is what I'm saying.
But you just read it, so you know what. Today was marked as a day of rest anyway, so it wasn't like it was getting in the way of anything important, I just wanted to make it clear that half the things I did today was just writing.
Lunch was nice though. Most of our perishable ingredients would keep for a while in the 'ICE' filled cooler we bought, but the bread would go stale fast, so we had some sandwiches. They were amazing, and I appreciated that I could eat it with one hand while writing with the other.
After that, me and Levy settled in with some of the books we got and enjoyed a nice evening of reading until the sun went down. Levy opted to read some of her fiction books while I read up on the berries we purchased. Fun fact, berries aren't normal, at least not by my standards. The saplings we have will grow into full bushes in just a week, and once they do they'll produce a few berries a day. And, pretty similar to our blapple tree, it'll keep the berries fresh until they're plucked and then start making new ones.
And unlike our blapple tree, picked berries should remain good for a few weeks before going bad, which meant we could keep a supply of them. We're gonna need a lot of clay jars for that though.
VV and Tinks kept each other entertained by playing games. Mostly tag, though Tinks wasn't as good at it. I restricted them from using their moves after all, because we couldn't risk the place getting torn up. I wasn't too concerned about them falling off though. The recall function of their pokeballs would bring them back no matter where they were, so we'd be able to save them.
After that we had dinner, because now that we were eating normal food and not blapples we had to eat more than once a day. Levy attempted to make spaghetti, but the noodles took forever to cook and when they did they were one big clump that was burned on the edges and was utterly inedible, so we tossed it over the edge.
I then tried to make hamburgers but those were messed up too. I don't know if we had too much heat or too little or what, but despite the outside being crispy, the inside was still raw and even cold to the touch. And when I tried to cook it some more, the outside just became charcoal and the inside was still raw. So we tossed those as well.
We have all these ingredients, but neither of us can be trusted in a kitchen. Levy says she knows how to bake, but she needs to follow a recipe and doesn't have any memorized.
Guess we'll be sticking with sandwiches for now. Makes me almost want to buy a cheap cook companion, but we're all too likely to find one that it seems like a waste.
Though speaking of purchases, I did get Sexual Calibration from the catalog. I'm still waiting for the Stamps to finish their thing to get the majority of the credits, but capturing VV and Tinks gave me twelve credits total immediately, and I didn't see a reason to hesitate getting such an important perk.
And, after Levy and I gave it a thorough test run, I gotta say it was worth it. No waiting for me to recharge, no aches and pains, no smells, no messes except the ones I want. It's also dangerous, because it's going to be a lot harder to not just be having sex all the time now that I don't have to worry about those kinds of things.
Though on days like today, where we've set it aside for resting, we can go nuts. And speaking of which… I think that just about covers today, so I'm going to end it here. See you tomorrow.
AN: Nice and short. Starting next in-story week I'll probably skip over days like this.
