Making room for Marx (Princeton and Marx PLEASE!!!)

OOC: Hey Marx, if you would like to join in I think it would be a cool way for our characters to do something productive while getting to know each other better. You haven’t gotten to know Princeton well yet and Marx still thinks that Prince is nothing but a small childish dude, when in reality he is your strong leader

The sound of morning birds echoed through the dark burrow. Princeton’s eyes peeled open as light found its way into the cave. “Good morning Kazuki.” He said with a smile, the fox was lying at the edge of the bed, near his feat. The fox slowly stood up. His mouth opened great and wide as air forced its way out from between his lips. “Hey Princeton.”

Princeton looked around, he didn’t see Marx anywhere. “Hey where is Night? He isn’t usually away this early…” It had been a few days since Marx joined Prince, yet Princeton hadn’t really seen Marx that much as of late. He typically stayed to himself. “I’m not sure” The young fox said as he hopped off the bed. “I think he sleeps outside…”

Princeton pondered this over. Why would he sleep outside if they offered to share their nice and comfortable home with him? Princeton figured that it must have been because of the lack of room. Princeton looked around, the place was a bit small, and most bedrooms were larger than this. “Hey Kazoo…”

The fox looked over at the boy. “What is it Princeton?” Princeton looked deep off into space; an idea was coming to him. He stood up; his plaid blue boxers were the only thing covering him. He lifted his weapon off of the ground below. He picked at the soft dirt wall with the Katar, a smile coming on his face. The dirt easily crumbled at the sharpness of his blade.

“Kazuki! How about we make this place bigger!?” The boy spoke at the fox in excitement. “We could make this small burrow expand into something large enough for all of us, even Marx to stay in!” Kazuki’s tail began to flap back and forth. The fox was quick to speak "Whoa, we should! We could make this place a proper base for Team Hope!”

The blonde kid shook his head with a laugh; he was still a bit hesitant to the idea of this being a team. He gave a nod, “Let’s start planning! We could probably be finished expanding by tomorrow if we work at it.” If both Prince and Kazoo both worked hard, there was no doubt in Princeton’s mind that they could finish the job quick. And hopefully Marx may decide to poke his head in and give them a hand. Princeton quickly assembled the armor onto his body and the two got to work.

Marx woke up groggily, another storm had come last night. Marx yawned loudly and scratched his head. Marx was now beginning to become bored with Masami. Marx was planning on buying some equipment the other day, but when he asked Princeton where the store was, he discovered that the store was going to be closed for a while. Marx was very annoyed because this meant that he was restricted to the known territories of Masami. Princeton said that creatures outside of the mapped areas would be very violent. Marx didn't want to take any risks until he was properly equipped.

Marx sighed and walked out of his usual sleeping spot within the entrance to the Sakkaku Caverns. The area within Kazuki's Den where Kazuki and Princeton slept was much to small to accommodate Marx. Marx didn't mind too much though, he wasn't really expecting to anyways. Princeton still seemed a bit annoying to Marx. He was way too optimistic about their situation, and he was also annoyingly childish. At least Kazuki was a child so he had an excuse to act as he did, but Princeton was a young adult. Granted, Princeton's strengh was admirable for what he was, but he didn't have the warrior's look in his eyes. He calls himself a leader, but if he wanted to gain Marx's approval, he must show both a wise and mature mind while also showing skill and passion in the battlefield.

Marx wandered around the entrance of the caverns and began to gather up some wood to build a campfire with. Luckily, the storms in Masami tended to cause small sticks and even some medium sized branches to fall to the ground. This made attaining firewood a much simpler chore. Marx was quite astounded to see that even the moist sticks found in the ground were still good for fires. Marx was perplexed why the wood would light up so easily, but he didn't complain; it just made everything more simple for him. After Marx had picked up as many sticks as he could, he traveled back to camp.

When Marx returned, things seemed to be a bit eerie to Marx. Things were way too quiet to Marx. Everything was still and silent. Usually, Kazuki or Princeton would be up and about doing whatever they wanted to do. Marx dropped the wood near the usual spot for campfires and scouted the area. Soon, Marx was able to hear Princeton and Kazuki's voice within Kazuki's den. What were they doing in there? It wasn't normal for them to just be getting up this late.

Marx went inside the den and saw Kazuki and Princeton digging into the walls of the room. Marx observed the area and realized quickly that the den was being expanded. The furniture was moved to one side of the room while Princeton and Kazuki were busy trying to make the room a wider. Marx was perplexed to see what was going on. Marx didn't see anyone new around these areas, and Princeton didn't say anything about finding new members.

Marx went up to Princeton and tapped him on the shoulder. "Yo, what are you doing here? Looks like you're having a lot of fun," Marx looked on to the ground and observed the mud lines; apparently progress was very slow. "Well anyways, what's going on here? You got tired of the small living spaces and you guys began to become claustrophobic?" Marx put on a small grin. "Well anyways, I wondered what I should go get today. I could go try to go spear some tuna. I'm starting to learn the patterns in their movements and I probably could get some for lunch,"
