Fishing. I love it. Just laying out in the sun, doing nothing but casting out a line and waiting to see what you're going to catch. That's the best part: not knowing what you'll catch. Sometimes you'll reel in a little tiny minnow, and the next time you'll catch a giant swordfish. And it's a great way to pass the time.

Every time I pass by a large body of water, all I want to do is go fishing, so that's what I'm doing. I'm sitting on a stump of driftwood, holding onto the solid piece of stick that was my fishing pole. It was a makeshift one, so nothing fancy, but oh well. When you know how to fish, you don't have to have anything spiffy. You make the fishing pole look good, not the other way around.

((Oh goodness, this horrid post. -eyes bleed- Working out his kinks, being his first post and all. xDx ))

Nestle Ditzy Fall

How had she ended up here. The girl swings her head back and forth in disbelief. She had known this forest for a very long time, but for her to get lost? That was rare, and most horible of all she had no clue on what the hell she was staring at. The water expanded in front of her, it rippled slightly against the breath of breeze that blew along the surface. It was so light that the breeze barely moved her hair. It was hot and stuffy, Nestle let out a long breath, releasin some of the heat she felt, although it was quickly replaced as she took in another one. Her eyes scanned the water, and she whatched mesmorised as the light danced of the surface of it sparkling. It looked amazing, and magically. Something Nestle had never seent before.

She eyes the water and how it rolls onto the sand, than as if magic it is dragged back into the water, than only to be pulled out again. it sounded amazing and it reminded Nestl of just how thirsty she was. Cautiously she moved closer to it. The sand wrapped itself around her feet as she moved closer, but she kept going dragging herself forward to the water. It looked amazing all different shades of blues and greens. Nestle wondered what it would taste like. Did it taste as good as it looked? She moved closer and slowly got down on to her kness. She scooped up a bit of the water, water that went on for ages. Water thatcould keep her alive for a long time. She took a sip.

It burned, it tasted horrible, Nesltes eyes bulge and she spits out the water as fast as she can, her mouth is all dry and her throat stings and burns like crazy. It tasted horrible. It was worse than anything she had ever drank or eaten before. "What the hell is this!?"

Still nothing. Not even a tug on the line. I let out a sigh and pull the line back it, check the bait, and then cast it out again. There has to be something swimming under the lapping waves; trout, carp, swordfish, anything. And yet, as I continue to sit there, there's still not even a nip. Eh, the fish are probably just avoiding me. This could be a good fishing area that people fish all the time, but if that's the case, then there'd be plenty of 'em here... oh well. Patience is a virtue.

It doesn't take long before some girl decides to come down to the shore, but she does the weirdest thing: she drinks the saltwater. I can't help but laugh as she recoils back and shrieks, asking what the water was. "That there's saltwater," I say, turning on my stump seat to see her. "You don't drink it. Saltwater dehydrates you faster if you drink it 'cause of the salt." Really, what was she thinking? Can't she smell how different the water is from fresh water? Or maybe I've just been spending too much time by the ocean. Probably the latter.

Nestle scowls at the man, na duhhh. What else would it be? But she can't help feeling the heat rise to her cheeks as she realises what it was. She might not have seen an osean before, but the smell... she took a depp breath in and almost choked from the stinging in her throat. She coughs hacking up water. Which is than followed by vomit. Embarrassed she wipes her face on her dirty shirt. The air was tinged with the smell of salt as well as the foul smell of her vomit. She glares down at her feet embarassed with her display. Her eyes widen in shock, as she glances at her spew. CRAP! More of her body water gone.

Nestle groans in fustration moving away from the mess. Her head pounded with the lack of water and she knew that if she didn't get any she would be in trouble. Plus as the man had said the salt water would make her dehydrated fas- Man. Nestles head snaps up and she quicklt takes in the man, assessing if he was dangerous. He didn't look like he was, but looks could be decieveing. Nestle let her shoulders relax though, he hadn't made a move towards her or attacked her, he had done the opposite, he had tried to help her. She coughs slightly, swollowing hard. Her throat begged for water. "Wate- Water?" She croaked out through the sandpaper in her throat.

She looked hopefully at the man, hoping he would give her some. She wondered how her family was. Would they be missing her? She was due back to visit the district... She jumps in alarm, she was susposed to have visited her twin two days ago. She looks down at her fingers and counts off the days. SHIT. She looks back up at the guy, he hadn't moved. His moustache was lined with white, it showed that the man was older, for a guess she would think he was fifty maybe sixty, but then again Nestle was wrong an awful lot of the time.

I pull the line back in and wrap it around the stick pole. I'd have to try catching some fish later because they're just not biting now. Shame, really. I was looking forward to eating some fish for dinner. I guess dinner will have to wait, then.

I don't get up from my seat; I just turn my head to see this girl doing a whirlwind of stunts: coughing up a lung and then spewing her lunch everywhere. Poor girl. I can't remember the last time I threw up, but I know it was very unpleasant, so I feel for her. She then whirls around to face me so I look at her, waiting for her to do something. Or am I supposed to say something? "Jolly good vomit, there, dear." No, just no. I couldn't say anything. "... are you alright?" I finally manage to ask something, but she asks for water, so I search my pockets until I find my little flask of water. I stand up and set my fishing pole down on the stump and go over to her, handing her the flask. "You alright?" I ask her again, and also figuring that I should introduce myself. "I'm Catfish."

Nestle doesn't think, she grabs the bottle straight from his hands desperate for the respite she hoped it would offer. She swallowed half the bottle before she realised it could easily be poison, and yet she still drains the rest of the botttle, she sticks her finger in fishing for any drops left. Her burning throat now just throbbed painfully. She hands the empty bottle back to the man, wiping her face with her arm. She takes a step back realising just how close she had come to the guy.

Her back foot slips into the dry sand, she fails her arms briefly before she falls onto her back. The air leaves her with a whoosh, and she gasps for a second. Oh man, how many times was I going to embarass myself? she thought sarcastically. She stares up at the sky and lets out one of those why me sighs/ This was turning out to be a very bad day. With a grunt she gets up to her feet. The sand she had to admit looked very soft, but when you landed on it, it felt as hard as rock. She stares at her feet, she felt uncomfortable still standing here. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't. The guy had helped her after all.

"Erm.... So hi.... " She manages to choke out.

She just downs my water like there's no tomorrow. I'm going to have to find another source of clean water, but eh, I can find some. She needs it more than I do right now, anyway. I shrug it off.

She then falls over a second time and I just can't help but just gape at her. How many times is she going to tip over like a flailing tree? I'm about to stand up and help her, but she's already up on her feet by the time I even start to move. Well then. I put a warm smile back on my face as she says hello and I nod my head. "So, you know my name, but what's yours, if you don't mind me asking?" She's a pretty young girl, and I feel like I'm old enough to be either her father or grandfather. Sheesh, that's a horrid thought.

Nestle smiles at the man, he seemed friendly enough, but sometimes you justcouldn’t trust these people. Oh well, if she was stuck here, she would take er chances, after all to live out here you had to take chances if you wanted to survive, but then those chances also killed a lot of wanderers. Nestle looks out again towards the water, it still looked really good to drink. The way the sun would sparkle of the top, but as she took in a deep breathshe realised that it smelled different here. She wasn’t sure if Catfish had farted or something, but it smelled bad. She wrinkles her nose at the rotten kind of smell. She really didn’t like it.

She turns her eyes back to the forest, she wanted to og home, but she had no clue where she was. Besaides the man had told her his name- if Catfish even was it, since it is a pretty stupid name- it was only fair to tell him hers. But she also wanted to know if he knew the way back, that would mena telling him where her family lived. That was dangerous. But to survive you had to take chances, even if they killed you.

"Hi, I'm Nestle!" She says offering her hand to Catfish. "I was just wandering, do you know how I might find my way back?" She asks, she didn't want to tell him just yet to where, but she still had to ask.Her feet dig into the sand, ashe was really anxious to leave, but she couldn't just yet.
