Redhawk Caldera Hippos Can't Ice-Fish

I've already told you two about my plans on Somnia getting hypothermia. Well, I'm impatient, and I also wanted to get another thread up with @Ashton soon. I also said that @Elwood could be a part of if it if Kim wants. If you don't want Elwood in it Kim, you can just not post anything, it's fine by me. Otherwise, jump right in! As for Ashton, you can't escape this if you wanted to Xandir. :)

Yesterday, I realized I found a comical goldmine with this plot thing. I already did Ashton's doctor job pretty much, and researched hypothermia and all that. I'll elaborate more on that later in thread, closer to the crisis. And Elwood, whether he be present in the thread or not, is going to get the short end of the stick with Somnia when she becomes delirious from hypothermia. That, you'll have to wait for though. Can't give all my secrets away. ;)

Where did all good ideas grab a hold of you? Maybe not all, but at least most happened when you were trying to accomplish something else, something completely unrelated to the idea. A good deal of good ideas happened when you were trying to take a shit, but trying to accomplish other things sounded more... pleasant. Plus, it also included other things, and that made a larger percentage.

So, do-do do do-do, Somnia was trying to accomplish something. That something was trying to get a squirrel to leave the safety of its tree by making threats at it and calling it very bad names. Yes, even Somnia raged at times.

So squirrel this, squirrel that, squirrels are *beeeeeeeep* bad, so on, so forth. But then, out of seemingly nowhere, fish! What if instead of barking at a squirrel in fury, Somnia tried some ice-fishing? After all, the fish couldn't climb trees to escape her. If they somehow ended up being able to, she would be pretty damn impressed at their dedication to escape her.

Wait, one problem; Somnia didn't know how to fish. It came with an easy fix though. Ashton had fish the last time she had been there, so he must know how to fish. Plus, it gave her an excuse to visit the golden hippie, can't pass that up.

The walk to the nearby infirmary was short, and in that short time Somnia also established that Elwood's scent was fresh. He must've been around the area earlier today, and maybe she would even encounter him later on.

That quickly got pushed out of Somnia's mind as she came across Ashton's den. Taking a few steps down the dirt steps, she announced her presence, not even sure if anyone was home yet. "Hey! Ashton! You here?!" The loud barks echoed through the dirt maze.
