Arrival at the beach, Koh Kood
In high spirits the group step off the speed boat. The wood worker and
rope maker meet with waiting kittahs. The wood worker is directed to several trees up the sides of the steep cliff that need to come down (or will on their own) and will be used for building materials. Several of them will make good fishing skiffs and canoes. The rope maker is guided to several overgrown vines of various types that make good long lasting lines for everything they need, even ones that are very sal****er resistant to rot. She sets to work and many younger kittahs join in to learn from her, as she only comes once a year and is a highly prized expert. Daisy-Chan checks the temple out, to see what they may want to bring. She sees a lot of very nice pillows and some low divans that will work well for tables. She jots some notes down on where things are. Cash sniffs out the beach and notes some spots that need digging out and footsteps replaced. It is normal weather related since they just finished their rainy season. Some are underway. He introduces himself and helps with some particularily heavy stone footsteps. His bigger paws come in pretty handy and his big soft gentle brown eyes and floppy ears had them at ease right away. They've not checked the kitchen cave or the other ones the locals use for businesses. He's mostly checking the ramps and footstones to them so far. Just as he starts to get hungry, he sees a slightly plump Siamese setting up a table on the sand. Kittahs who are working, smile after a glance, and others who are at a good stopping point, go over to help. |

Kittahs who are working, smile after a glance, and others who are at a good stopping point, go over to help. As Cash checks ramps and helps with footstones then snags a quick munch, Iowna wanders with Princess Malee to see if she can get around well enough. She notes there is little to the touch of her feet to tell her where she is when at the edge of things. "Princess, do you think the rope maker will mind if wez want some ob the smaller vines? I kin teach how to weave them to make pretty borders so when yur feets feels dem, you know you are near the edge. It will help elder kittahs who don't see to well enymore". Princess Malee smiles a both happy and sad smile. Truth be told, the King uses a royal escort for this reason. He's not a kitten anymore and his vision is no longer sharp. "Yes, Iowna, this sounds like a fine idea!" Shortly she is teaching many littles, how to braid and weave. They have many adults who can do that well, but for now, she's keeping them occupied and teaching them. Quite a few act like it's yarn and play in it, but that's ok. She has endless patience and they slowly turn out quite a bit from the local materials. |

She has endless patience and they slowly turn out quite a bit from the local materials. [A orange kitty dude and a silver striped tabby girl with some calico coloring teleport ver to the beach and look around The Princess approaches to offer assistance.] "Good morning! Are you hear with the Community to help prepare for the Jellicle Ball?" "We are indeed! I'z Sammy Redcat, and this is mine sisfur Francesca da Fierce. We'z are part of a Community catering bizness called FluffyKitz, and we was wanting to look around at food preparation and serving areas." "Welcome, Sammy and Francesca! We have a cave right over here dedicated to cooking. It has excellent airflow and is recessed into the cliff face so that it remains comfortable even when many kitties are cooking. Our local kitties would be honored to provide many of our local dishes for the Community.." "That would be furry kind! We can also bring along some of our standard banquet foods and deserts for those Community kitties with picky systems, and maybe we can provide the local kitties with some new treats." Francesca looks around at structures and furnishings. "Princess, it looks like you have a covered area near the beach. I assume dat is fur da party? Would you like fur us to plan on kitties eating under dere as well, or should we bring a tent just fur serving?" "I see no reason why guests could not eat at their seats. Our cooking cave should be adequate for foor preparation, but you might want to bring along a tent for serving. It does sometimes rain here!" [Princess] |

She doesn't say anything because she's holding a complex set of vines in her mouth as she weaves 2 of them with her paws, then swaps with 2 others. She turns back to a young male tabby (one of the few not Siamese here) and shows him how to make the next step in the flat french braid. He studies hard. He is in the running with several girl kittahs who caught on fast, to make the safety braid on the actual ramp sides to the Temple of Bast! Iowna had decided that should be made by a local and the best offerings will be judged by the King. Princess Malee said it matches their traditions that the younger kittahs hand make special offerings at this time for the ceremony. It's his last year with the kittens. Next year he takes an official trade. He dreams of being a master weaver. |

It's obvious from the various ramps and lifts, that they are well used. An elderly siamese bluepoint Named Xu comes up with a shy smile. 'You would like to see some of our history perhaps? On our first level above the main kitchen is the Cave of History. Part of who you are, is where you came from. We honor all legends, even if some are a bit whimsical and show we like to have fun. Here is my favorite. It's just over the vent from the kitchens below, so you can smell all the lovely cooking. He points to a small alcove with a button that says 'push me for fun'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AWCk7HlG4o Daisy-chan pushes the button then starts laughing as she sings along. |

After a bit they wander off and see lots of little alcoves with bits of the story of siamese cats. Daisy-chan loves this one! http://muppet.wikia.com/wiki/File:Se... e_Siamese_Cat So thats how the feets and such got so perfectly colored! |

Sammy Princess Malee ushers in the ones that are there that like to cook and works out arrangements. There is plenty of room for all and even a little sort of gallery above used normally for teaching younger kittahs how to cook, by watching from a bit above. "Yes Sammy, wez simple here in enjoyments but wez not at all backwardz as you see! Da lites if you wonderz, are powered by the waterfall to the left of the temple." She looks to the beach and sees some of the earlier arrivals from the island start to debark from various craft. THey are here to sweep out various caves used for camping as well as clear brush from cabins under the trees. |

She has many outfits but a little Local lady wants to get a ball gown and she knows just the place! They have loaded all the supplies at the beach for the rescue and have an hour or 2 to spare before more arrives. They take off for the Boutique to look about. Iowna catches up with paw-tired kittahs who need a break from weaving and form a line to go to the boutique. |
