(brb need drink!)
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:26:53 PM)
*He grabbed some big bushel basket on the way* We'll probably need quite a bit. Gathering - easy. weaving... takes time and just the right parts
Kaia Skaare (Nov 8, 2011 11:27:10 PM)
What are we gathering, Keenan?
Race-the-Storm (Nov 8, 2011 11:27:22 PM)
"Yeah.. that was my question.."
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:28:54 PM)
knotweed. *looking to Kaia* Got a smartphone?
Kaia Skaare (Nov 8, 2011 11:29:33 PM)
::holds up her iPhone 4:: Yup.
Kaia Skaare (Nov 8, 2011 11:30:01 PM)
::and starts typing in 'knotweed'::
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:31:08 PM)
It's got big green leaves and little white flowers. a picture
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:31:10 PM)

Kaia Skaare (Nov 8, 2011 11:31:48 PM)
::has a picture on her phone in a few to share with others::

Kit just blinks once or twice, and tilts his head at it.. "Gotcha."
Jay Montroy (Nov 8, 2011 11:33:00 PM)
*He drove along seemingly easy as can be..*
Kaia Skaare (Nov 8, 2011 11:34:16 PM)
(afk for a few)
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:34:36 PM)
*looking over to kit* Oh... so my grandfather says, you also can;t wear shows when using this weed for speed. Think that will be an issue for anyone?
Jay Montroy (Nov 8, 2011 11:35:03 PM)
*He continued to the town of bela rose.. And it would take them a good 35 to 45 minute drive the place was like a small farming community barely anyone in it and along the long strip of highway they could see growing wild was yes knott weed all along the highway*

"Only if we -have- to be in Homid.. might look a little weird being shoeless. "
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:40:37 PM)
Don't think so, unless the mission demands it.
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:41:22 PM)
*looking out* Yes, that stuff. Thank you, Jay, this is perfect! *Hopping out, he took a knife from his satchel, headed into the ditch and started cutting stalks, piling them into the bushel basket*
Jay Montroy (Nov 8, 2011 11:41:44 PM)
*He parked on a side road.. then slipped out of the truck.. motioning to all the knott weed.. He then waited for the others.. The kinfolk seemed utterly silent on the entire drive there..*
Jay Montroy (Nov 8, 2011 11:42:10 PM)
*Allthough races and keenan where both garou he seemed much less intimidated by them then kaia*
Race-the-Storm (Nov 8, 2011 11:44:33 PM)
Race hopped out just a little more leisurely, and went to help Keenan start collecting the stuff, using the knife out of his jacket pocket and humming quietly. "I really got to start paying attention to this stuff."
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:44:55 PM)
What stuff? Herbs?
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:45:15 PM)
I can give you a crash course. Though most of my tribemates claim far greater knowledge.
Jay Montroy (Nov 8, 2011 11:46:34 PM)
*Jay pulled out some sheers from the back of his truck..*
Race-the-Storm (Nov 8, 2011 11:46:39 PM)
"Yeah.. I mean.. supposed to be my tribal thing.. Healing.. and I never payed attention to it till the change."
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:47:24 PM)
Andy's quite good at it. *he pulled the weeds up at an agle and sliced them with deft movements, showing Kit how (and Kaia if she was close*
Race-the-Storm (Nov 8, 2011 11:47:58 PM)
"....Andy kinda scares me sometimes.."
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:49:23 PM)
Why? *Headcant*
Race-the-Storm (Nov 8, 2011 11:50:09 PM)
".......I don't know... he just does. I'll get over it, I suppose."
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:53:08 PM)
Well, in the meantime I can teach you. *Venturing deeper into the weeds, pulling some out by the roots, dusting off the dirt* In specific I need the stalks, but the roots have both toxic and medical properties
Race-the-Storm (Nov 8, 2011 11:53:26 PM)
He seemed uncomfortable answering that question, glancing at t he kin a bit.. then focusing on his work. "What are you making with them?"
Jay Montroy (Nov 8, 2011 11:54:31 PM)
*He followed and listening to keenan he heard about the roots being useful as well.. So he used the strength of his arms and began pulling them out by the roots.. The man moved quite quickly at the job he spent his entire life on a farm and this sort of work was second nature to him*
Keenan Murphy (Nov 8, 2011 11:55:52 PM)
You can eat the stalks when it's young, a bit like you eat rhubarb, and according to my grandfather the roots, ground up are an herbal laxative. He also noted that you can make moonshine with them. But I think grandpa could make moonshine out of anything.
Race-the-Storm (Nov 8, 2011 11:57:20 PM)
A snort from Kit.. "Really now... Well I bow to your expertise on that one."
