Walking down the path the two soon walked out into a clearing with a number of cabins built. Sitting around eating were a number of men and women as big as the smoocher escorting Jackie.

"Of course." The smoocher smiled. "But surely you'd need a lot of food." Jackie said. "Normally we gather what we can, though with winter there isn't as much to gather." She said, offering Jackie a cooked fish.

"Mmm, not bad. Do you grow your own herbs to season this with?" Jackie asked. "We gather a lot during spring and summer. Fall we focus more on gathering other things."

Before long Jackie had polished off the cooked fish, her stomach still grumbling in hunger. "So how long have you all lived here?" Jackie asked as she reached for another fish.

"Really? How would you even know about this place to come here?" Jackie asked. "Our founders." One of the guys said, pointing to a cabin with smoke coming from the chimney. Finishing off her second fish Jackie headed toward the cabin.

"Hello?" Jackie called out before seeing a large figure sleeping near the fire. Walking over she found it was a big guy with long shaggy hair.

"I'm one of them..." He yawned. "Did you come to...Hm?" He said before sniffing at the air. "Yeah, I'm only a smoocher during the full moon. So who is the other founder?" She said. "Probably getting more wood. The nights have been colder for everyone, so he's been making we have plenty of wood ready." He said as he went to get up.
