"Oh right, zebra." >All I have is some bizarre tribal swirlies. >Guess it could be worse. >Like some barbed wire muscle dude tattoo.   >I'm hungry now. >Willing to munch on the grass and daisies, I prepare myself for the bitterness of chlorophyll. >... >It's shockingly decent and now I can see why they've made these into sandwiches. >Now to figure out how to harvest wheat and make bread. >If only real life worked like minecraft and I could punch or buck everything into what I want. >Which gives me a grand idea. >Become an alchemist. >I have a decent idea of cooking and what plants are safe or which ones are poisonous. >The plants of Equestria aren't too staggeringly different, either. >I'm going to go beyond our established borders and see if the plants vary at all. >And probably nibble on some more daisies. >Luck would have it that a patch of clovers and some other purple flowers lie beyond the town in great quantities. >I should probably inform the cooks of these things. >I don't really know any of the others by name or profession yet, I'm just going with the flow. >Asking around, I meet with Bacon Grease and let him know of the plant quarry. >He seems well aware and tells me of other locations to begin looking. >The farmers seem to be well aware of these things, also. >Time to explore even further, I guess. >After some rest.   >Day 3 >Zebrewster. >I met another zigger named Zen and realized the naming conventions for zebras should be consistent. >So I chose Zebrewster. >If I'm to mix up plants and make potions, I need a name to match. >I wonder how the shit I'm going to get a cauldron now. >Hopefully there are some Anons into metallurgy and smithing. >Zen happens to be someone I knew from the previous life. >Not surprising since I chatted with many of the Anons frequently. >He's glad someone will be around to make elixirs and salves, since he's going to be a medic. >I ask if there's anything he knows he'll need right away, but can't think at the moment. >Guess I'll take this opportunity to do the greater length exploring I wanted to do. >My body seems like it can handle trotting more than my previously out of shape form could, so off I go.   >I make it some mile or so out of the group, trying to keep a straight line and spotting landmarks since I have nothing with which to breadcrumb. >Nothing of interest really. >I head back and choose another direction, using the sun this time so I can pretend I know what I'm doing. >I stop for lunch a mile out in what is north of the location. >I can see the shape of some hills or mountains in the distance and decide it may be smarter to gather a crew for that. >I come across a few different flowers and herbs on the way back so I gather them in my mouth and carry them back to work with later.
