Welcome to Gaia! ::

Despite some rough waters and the recent event, they were near the shore of the island as they station their raft in the white sands. Jeriel took a deep breath, feeling relief as the outcomes so far was worth it. The beach was as beautiful when he saw it from afar. With plenty of decorated sea shells, crystal clear sands, and a landmark of a rock with a hollow below big enough to walk through. From a far, they could see the extensive jungle covered in palm threes and vines, telling you that it's a tropical island.

"It must be paradise no doubt." Jeriel said, while a tear of joy escape his eye lip. He hugged Moonfire as his happiness was all over the place, knowing that they made it. As Moonfire point out the roundish coconunt, Jariel was rather puzzled. "Um, let's find out." they then approach the palm tree to see a closer look at the coconut. "What are you fellas lookig at?" Laure asked' not amused by their curiosity. "You don't happen to wonder what are those things, right?" Jeriel replied with another question. "If you can eat it, grab it." Laure stated, as she climb up the palm tree.

(Yep, though he probably wouldn't know what they were from a long distance. So I'm making fun of this part for the sake of curiosity.)

Laure was close enough to try to pick it up, though realize how thick the root holding it and the hard shell, it proves to be a little challenging "If they were, their one stubborn fruit." Laure replied, knocking the coconut. "Can you at least pull it off?" Jeriel asked. "From this angle, no." Laure then replied frowning, gesturing for a sharp knife. Nodding in acknowledge, Jeriel search for a knife in one of the bags and carefully gave it to Laure.

Without hesitation, she cuts the root of several coconuts, as they violently falls to the soft ground. The two watching back off a little when they fall, but soon after approach it for inspection. Something in Jeriel's head remind him of something, but couldn't a finger of what it was. Have I seen this fruit before? he thought, his hand placed in the back of his head. Laure jump of the palm tree amused saying "There. Simple as that."

Jeriel observe the coconut, as he feel it with is left hand. He then retracted, it felt weird trying to rubbing in. "Uhh... I may have seen it before, but I don't know where... hmmm..."

"Oh! It's like a giant Nut but juicy inside? It might be tasty inside!" Laure was excited, now peering as what's inside. Suddenly a thought past through Jeriel head and said "Wait here.". He went to pick of a rock as big as the palm of his hand. Maybe this could work? "Good thinking." Laure said "Slam that rock into this fruit so we can see what's inside!" Laure then placed a coconut on top of a rock nearby.

Jeriel nodded, holding the coconut with his left hand. He smash the coconut as hard as he could, but it wasn't enough. Fortunately, if one hit wasn't enough maybe countless hits will do till the shell opens. Swiftly hitting the coconut several times, he heard crack from it's surface.

Sure enough, the coconut's liquid was somewhat transparent. And just to make sure if it was any good, he took a sip. The juice was smooth and refreshing, as it cool him down from inside. It was soo delicious, he look at Moonfire smiling "Wow! It's refreshing! You should try it Moonfire!"

"For what it is, it's worth tasting." Jeriel said, rubbing his face "Ahhh... I may have heard of the name. Was it Cuco... Coco... what's it called." He scratches his head, something so simple was hard to remember. It's no surprise, since it's not a common fruit in the Forrest, and a share of words didn't inform well on this matter.

Laure was eager to try it out, and was somewhat enjoying the taste. More than that, she loves it. She drank the coconut try in seconds, and couldn't help but lick the white interior of the coconut as if she couldn't get enough of the thing. Jeriel was shocked to see her in this state, as he tried to get her attention "Laure? What are you doing?"

"Huh?" Laure soon snapped out of whatever was happening to her. "Sorry. I just lost control... It never happens to... huh?" her sentence was interrupted as she realize the white stuff actually taste good. She ponder and decided to scratch the surface, receiving the white 'meat' of the coconut. "Look! It must be edible!" Laure then chew on the meat, and her mouth was watering of the amazing taste. "I love this thing! Want to try it?"

"Let see." Jeriel scratch the white stuff from his coconut, and devour it. He likes it, not as much of as the liquid, but it was good nonetheless. "Hmmm, not bad."

"I can't get enough of theese sweet, tasty cuco what's it called." Laure shows a big smile on her face, hugging the coconut. "I think it's called Coconut now that I remember." Jeriel replied. "And I agree, these are a valuable resource, now that were staying heref for a while. We should set up a camp near the beach, and later scout the rest of the area."
