First Full Day

HOKAY-AY!

Well I survived my first full day as a Monster Hunter journal! It was easily in the top 45 most badass things I've done. 

So first thing was to go back outside and get to know the townsfolk personally.

The chief and his son.

Who I found out is named Junio!

There's also a little Gnome-like smithy, a Goblin-ish farmer with a buncha cat friends, a stalker shopkeeper, a totally cool outfitter who really gets me, and the Guild Employee who this whole village is obsessed with. They all call her "Sweetheart." It's kinda creepy. 

Speaking of creepy, while Junio is really nice and helpful, I think the village chief thinks I'm a man...he kept telling me to get presents or to bring back animal carcasses to try and "Woo" the "Guild Sweetheart." I kinda just pretended I didn't hear him.

ANYWAY!

After meeting everyone, I was given a map of the island and told where to find the local Hunter's Camp. Wanting to start right away, I grabbed my trust Hammer and set out into the wilds. 

...yeah, jounral, I use a hammer. I know that might seem like a strange choice, but in actuality I have a LOT of practice with hammers! No, really! My last job required me to be an expert with them! It was actually seeing how much damage they could do that gave me the idea to be a Monster Hunter in the first place...see...the last job actually had a few monsters itself...

-and I seriously wanted to bash in their heads.

So I set out on my journey. This island is absolutely gorgeous - colossal mountains, sheer cliffs, constant waterfalls, lush vegetation growing all around - this is paradise! The view is always enough to give you a second wind; which is good since you need it to cross the distances and deal with the threats you face!

About halfway to the camp I met my first pack of large creatures. This was it - my first Hunt. 

My Grandma told me there is NOTHING more dangerous than a hungry Herbivore

I crouched down and slowly approached. My pulse raced as I neared slowly - cooing like a bird to disquise myself as some other animal. My cunning plan obviously worked as when they looked over at me they simply had looks of confusion on their faces and went back to their own business. I grinned madly and then struck with the fury of nine gods! SMASH! KAPOW! KERSMUNSH! 

VICTORY FOR RIVET SKY! 

RAW MEAT~!

Fully satisfied with my prowess; I hurried on to camp. There I got to see what sort of place the other Hunters and I would be sharing as our base of operations on the island. 

I think I'm going to Love it here.
