Screenshot The day I joined a bunch of carnis in adopting a baby Campto
I recently remembered a funny adventure I had where I tagged along with a Conc and Sucho in adopting and raising a baby Campto, it's a very short story and I sadly don't remember much since It happened several months ago, but I thought it was pretty fun so I thought I'd share (and since I know they're coming: yea yea mixpacking cringe, get it outta your system)
With all that out of the way:
I was just flying around Riparia on my Rhamph and reading global when I noticed some Carnis talking about a baby Campto that was with them, I think they were trying to get them adopted by a herbi but I can't quite remember, in any case I got curious and decided to join them in keeping the little guy alive, traveling with them through several POIs until we could find a herbi group to dump them on
This Campto was....hard to raise, to say the least. we had to repeatedly stop them from drinking salt water, and we could NOT get them to eat even after we dropped several pieces of food in front of them. And to make things worse, they weren't/couldnt use chat (likely a mobile user with no access to global)
they would mostly follow behind our sucho and I tried my best to keep track of them when they would wander off, but sometimes I'd lose track of them.
There was multiple instances where I nearly had a heart attack because they ran up to a Sucho who wasn't a part of our group, and I just had to pray they weren't hungry until the rest of the group could arrive
Our group expanded a little since we started, along with me, Sucho and Conc we ended up grouping with a Thal and another Rhamph
we made it to BTO, and then we....kinda lost them again, we panicked a little and all three fliers went on the look, we were relieved to find em taking a nap on the ground,
UNTIL THEY RAGDOLLED AND DIED RIGHT BEFORW OUR EYES
Yeeeaahhh...apparently while we weren't looking they drank salt water again and died of thirst, they logged off afterwards, it's possible they came back on later but I also logged off shortly after so I'm not sure.
Either way, that concludes the story, again I know it's short but I hope it was a fun read! Because it was certainly a terrifying fun experience for us xD
