Title: {IC} <Begin Again> |DAY ONE| |0/10 DEATHS|
Post by: Jakers on March 05, 2015, 03:35:12 am
<<Day One>>
You're all standing after your awakening, looking into each other's eyes curiously. Homo sapien - other humans. A patch of brown, dry grass crunches against your feet, whilst dense trees of an unknown, whitish wood cone around you. You all have not much idea what to do - are you here for a reason? The forests around you seem to cast a greenish light around the patch of dry grass you're all standing in...
"Another batch, hmm?"
You all turn your heads to the sound of a male and somewhat sophisticated voice behind you. A tall man, wearing a curious suit of pink with a deep purple tie, and a tall black and purple top hat watches you all with somewhat of a... disinterested look. He holds a saucer in his right hand, and sips tea from a teacup in the other hand.
"I suppose I should introduce myself to the next bunch." The man says, placing the teacup on his saucer and placing it on the ground next to him. "Some call me a God of this land. Some call me an overseer. Call me whatever you wish; you won't be seeing me much after this point." He folds his arms, adjusting his tie. "Either way, I'm quite aware that you all don't know anything. I have many important things to get back to, so I'll make this quick: you're all going to have to survive here. Be it you work as a team, go off on your own, whatever takes your fancy. There are many things about this world that you'll need to discover."
The gentleman stops for a moment, lifting an eyebrow and seemingly curiously watching all of you for a moment. "Hm. That's strange. I could see something... different... in this group for some reason..."
The pink suited man stops, folding his arms and seemingly waiting. He seems to take a sudden interest in you all for some reason, and is curious to see what you may say or do next.
[[In the likely event that you want to ask questions, now would be a time to do it. In-character, of course. And remember, you don't have names just yet!]]

Amongst the people gathered is a rather small woman, her hair is black and her eyes are two different colours. She looks around clearly confused, she practically strains her neck looking up at everyone else that was gathered here, they were all giants in comparison to her. She is the first to talk:
"Where are we? Who are you people? I don't remember ever seeing any of you before. "

Another among the group was a tall man who was a bit more plump than the others. His hair was bright but his eyes lacked the same vivid color. He had a deep, calming voice (sultry some might say) and he said, "Neither do I though it would help if we could establish who we are first."

An average man, with brown hair observed the wooded surroundings with an analytical gaze. He has a creepily neutral expression, given the circumstances.
"What do you see that is different from previous groups, whom you have mentioned?"

An nimble man with long, dexterous, fingers looks around. He asks
"What is out there? Should we be worried?"

A woman, with her long red hair mostly covering her eyes, looks around for a moment, staying silent.

"Yeah, I have a question. Where do we go... and why'd your suit change to pink when you were moving? Are you a god?", he asks slowly stepping back from the dapper man.

The dark skinned woman stays in place as she looks around, thinking of a question for the strange purple man.
She clears her throat and steps forwards, past the others to stand in front of the man. "A simple enough question, I hope. Who are you? And who are we?"

"Where are we, you ask? Well, that's an excellent question." The man in a pink suit speaks up, seemingly quite intrigued by your very short appearance, and rare genetic condition that makes both of your eyes different colours. You feel a little dwarfed around the mostly tall group.
"This world is a strange place indeed - but I'll try to explain it the best I can. Currently, we're at the centre of this world. In fact, this dry patch of grass here is the very centre of the entire of this huge world - quite amazing, isn't it. Whilst I can't give you directions to the nearest bus stop... I can tell you that this place gets more and more... unique... the further you travel from this spot." The pink-suited man continues, "I would say that chances of going home are zero percent... but it seems you all don't know what home is anyway." <===========>
Lorknis 10/10 10/10 10/10
"Hmph. It doesn't matter who you are, anyway." The pink suited man says somewhat sceptically, adjusting the top hat atop his head. "This world will change you. And will make you see who you truly are. Once you find who you truly are... then you have found your real self." The pink-suited man continues, with somewhat of an inspirational flourish at the end of his sentence. <===========>
Rhodri 10/10 10/10 10/10
The pink-suited man is hesitant to answer this question, turning away from you and placing his hands neatly behind his back, looking into the skies thoughtfully. A single magpie hops along the ground by the suited man's feet, before it flies away again. "It would be hard to explain. Let's just say that this group of people seems more... promising... than the previous batches I've had."
He turns back around, oaken hair trailing from under his top hat, and his eyes a bright golden colour. You can't tell if he's giving you a look of admiration, or a look of patronisation. "Hm... your eyes remind me of those of one of my three sisters. I have a feeling she'll be quite interested in you... unless my judgement of you is wrong so far." He says. What did he mean by that? Either way, he turns to answer the next. <===========>
wilson7755 10/10 10/10 10/10
"Out there? A large variety of things. Too many to count... in the wooded areas around here, it's fairly normal. The only dangerous things around here will be the wolves at night time... maybe bears if you're not careful. Whilst this area may contain animals you may recognise... the further you travel from this point, the more strange and... somewhat dangerous... the creatures will be." The pink-suited man says.
"Worried? That depends what you're afraid of... and how determined you are for your survival to continue. Play your cards right out here, and the results will be rewarding." <===========>
Mrnocamera 10/10 10/10 10/10
You remain silent, and the man with a top hat watches you for a moment with apparent disinterest, then bends over to pick up his teacup again, sipping the contents inside before turning to the next person. <===========>
ajwilli1 10/10 10/10 10/10
"Where do you go? I don't know, I'm not your mother. This world is now at your fingertips. Be it you choose to lead your comrades, follow others, or go alone, it is up to you." He says. He then gives you a quizzical look as you ask him whether he's a God or not. His face is emotionless for a few seconds, then some sort of strange grin flashes on his face for a few moments, before it returns to normal again.
"A God... heheheh. Some people call me that. But I don't truly exist in this world. One day you might find out what I mean by that. My three sisters are what you may call a real God... you might meet them someday. I simply watch over this world." <===========>
Dusty Trails 10/10 10/10 10/10
The man in a suit looks down at both questions, with a puzzled expression on his face. He pulls a monocle from his coat pocket, and places it over his left eye.
"Those are two good questions." He says. "The answer to those would be: I don't know." Did he mean that he didn't even know who he was? Either way, he seems to be about to say something to the whole group at this point. <===========>
Everyone
The man in a pink suit turns to all of you, picking up his tea and saucer once again, sipping the contents. "Well, like I said, I'd love to stay and chat, but I really must get back to other things. As for those leather satchels beside you; they don't contain anything, but you may use them to carry things or what have you. I wish you all the best of luck and what have you. If you'd like my advice, you should find a source of water, food, and perhaps make a shelter. Getting to know eachother would be a considerable idea too. I'll be going now; my sisters are waiting for me."
Taking off his top hat carefully, the man in the pink suit reveals a shaggy mess of brown hair behind it. The next moment, he's no longer standing there. You were alone now. And the unknown world surrounded you, with the somewhat familiar tweeting of birds.
SURROUNDING AREA You are all standing in a large, circular patch of dry grass that is the centre of the world. Thick forests surround you, but nobody has explored them yet. It seems the pink suited man has left behind his cup of tea here. Perhaps some people should scout.

Disappointed with my answers I slowly pick up my satchel. "L-listen, I'll go see if I can find some sticks to make us some... snares or something. If anyone can find or lend me their belt to make the loop that'd be, great. I guess." Starting to realize he droned on, he walked to the closest forest and started gather bundles of sticks to help get some traps and campfires ready. "Maybe I should just name myself, I mean I have no idea where or who I am. I'll name myself... uhh... hrmm..." He looks around at the forest, he spots the leaves high in the sky that flutter down to the muddy ground, before being swallowed whole by the moist dirt. "Never mind, I'll just grab this and go, I don't want to be mauled by wolves." With the sticks he's gathered he'd start heading back to their spot.

"That wasn't useful at all... anyways I'm off to see what there is to see and then will come back here. You look nice," He said at the short-girl, "Do you want to tag along or will you stay here?"

"Glad to have you." He said as he picked up his own satchel and held it in his left hand. He then motioned her to follow him as he picked up a stick from nearby.

"Well, that was really strange" He thought. He was not very interested in the other people, neither in who he was. He was himself, and thinking about what the man had said, he just needed to stay alive. It was also obvious that it was not going to be easy, at all. He looked around, interested in what was around them. Looking at the menacing, dark forests, he knew it was going to be a challenge.
"I guess i should try to get some stuff first. I should find an stick, something. Maybe rocks." he says, before starting to explore his nearby surroundings to see what he could find.

Post by: Rhodri on March 05, 2015, 05:42:47 pm
The center simply will not do for a home location, as there is no apparent water source.
??? picks up his satchel and a sturdy stick, for use as a weapon. He the picks a random direction, and heads that direction until he finds a water source/something useful/something intriguing.
As soon as he finds a rock, he'll use it to sharpen his stick to make one end pointy.

The unnamed man stirs from his resting place on the patch of grass, and mumbles something incoherent as he sits up. Drowsily looking around, he asks in a quiet voice, "Where... Where am I? Who are you people?"

You get straight to work, picking sticks and carrying them all under your broad arms. It's fairly tough work, but to get some basic supplies, it was more than worth it.
A magpie stands in front of you for a moment, wagging its black stick-like tail and twisting its head at you with some sort of unknown curiousity, before losing interest and flying off again. You discover the animals around here must be very wild.
With your armful of decent sized sticks, you dump them on the dry grass patch, adding some basic, but well-needed resources to the camp.
+15 Sticks Added To Stockpile! <===========>
??? wilson7755 10/10 10/10 10/10
Bending over, you look at the mixture inside the pink suited man's teacup. It smells pretty wonderful, and looks just fine; you take the final sip of the tea, leaving the cup empty afterwards.
Holy crap! How sweet did he have his tea?! The taste is so sweet that you wince a little, contemplating life itself due to the unpleasant sweetness of the tea. Judging by the taste, you'd guess he put in at least five sugars.
However, your eyes widen a little as you feel very energized all of a sudden. Your muscles spring to life, making you feel somewhat stronger! Whatever was in that tea seems to be a hell of a lot better than caffeine!
The male of the two picks up a sturdy stick before moving on. The weight is supple enough for a basic bashing weapon, or just a crude walking stick.
Sturdy Stick | Bash/Melee | Med Speed | Low Dmg
You both head off in a direction from the dry patch of grass, and walking through the forest is both unnerving and invigorating at the same time. An ominous, greenish darkness looms over the forest, but at the same time, a patch of daffodils spreads through the area. >Daffodil Patch Discovered
It's been a small while of walking, and you see something that takes your interest. A small and fluffy ginger cat; its back turned to you and growling into some sort of hole in the ground. The cat's tail springs up in alarm at the sound of your footsteps, before it runs off into the forest. Feeling somewhat saddened by the loss of the adorable kitty, you cheer up again as it reveals the hole it was looking into could only be a rabbit hole. >Rabbit Hole Discovered
You can remember how to get back to the dry patch of grass from here. You fear that if you travel further, you might lose your bearings. <===========>
??? StopSignal 10/10 10/10 10/10
You have a look around the nearby forest for anything of use. Other people seem to be getting straight to work at exploring and such; one man even drinks the pink-suited man's tea!
You scout out some nearby resources, the green giants looming around you, leaving pretty patterns of sunlight etched onto the tall grass at your feet. After a small while of walking, you discover a large boulder that sits in the middle of a small clearing in the forest. Sunlight pours into the clear area, with neat grass swaying around the boulder. Interesting.
Smaller, carryable rocks are littered around the boulder. Quite a few of them, too! They could certainly fit in your satchel. >Big Boulder Discovered >18 Small Rocks Found >6 Medium Rocks Found >3 Large Rocks Found <===========>
??? Rhodri 10/10 10/10 10/10
You head off in another direction to the others, thinking to yourself about how the dry patch of grass wouldn't be good enough; there wasn't a nearby water source - well - not that you knew of.
Picking up a sturdy stick from the dirt, you wield it in your hands as you carry on. Sturdy Stick | Bash/Melee | Med Speed | Low Dmg
Although you find a rock, it's by no means sharp or practical for sharpening the stick. You try bashing the end a few times, but it's not very effective to sharpen the stick. Somewhat disappointed, you move on.
Still no sources of water - but you suddenly come to a stop. A faint buzzing is visible ahead of you. Bees? Wasps? Hornets? You couldn't really tell, but you came to assume it was one of those. You can't see the hive yet; you'd have to risk getting closer... >Unknown Hive Discovered <===========>
??? yonsisac 10/10 10/10 10/10
Although you don't know which way North is, you do head off in front of you to the woods. Birds are chirping around you; your bare feet brushing gently against the swaying grass.
The walk is refreshing, and you find a few medium-sized rocks that you could perhaps use whilst you walk. There isn't much to note other than the usual trees and the odd daffodil here and there. Although the forest is dark, it's oddly captivat-
Whoa! Barely managing to dodge out the way, you watch as a boar goes stampeding past you into the distance. Short and fat, with large tusks to boot, it can certainly pick up some speed! Blinking a few times, you notice that it's left some tracks in the mud. Good to know that boars are around this forest... hopefully you won't get knocked over by one; those tusks look very sharp. >Note Added: Boars are in the Forest >3 Medium Rocks Found >Boar Tracks Found <===========>

You awaken, rubbing your head confusedly as you stand barefoot on a dry patch of grass. Unknown people, all wearing the same white shirt and same white pants as you seem to be working to get some resources; they look just as confused as you are. A small satchel of deep brown leather is by your feet. What was going on? Why couldn't you remember who you were?
Feeling very confused, you hoped somebody would explain the situation to you. The problem was, it didn't look like anybody else knew either. Were you going to have to survive here...?
SURROUNDING AREA Rhodri - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, by an unknown hive. Lorkins/Caconym - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, by a patch of daffodils and a rabbit hole. Stopsignal - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, by a clearing with a large boulder in the middle of it. yonsisac - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, nothing much to note here other than some boar tracks. The rest are all standing in a large, circular patch of dry grass that is the center of the world. Thick forests surround you, but nobody has explored them yet. 15 sticks are scattered on the ground; one of the men collected them. The pink suited man's empty pink teacup and saucer is here.

First of all, i appreciate the beauty of the place. I guess I'll attempt to climb the boulder.
If I get there, I will look around to see what can be seen from the advantage point. If I can't see anything, at least I'll rest a bit up there, before going to ground again and going to collect three or four little rocks.

I look at the daffodil patch and rabbit hole to try and see if there is anything unusual about them. I then ask the guy i'm with:

You decide to take the risk going closer, wading through the long grass with your sturdy stick at your side. Soon enough, you can see the yellowish hive at the side of the tree, various fluffy bees buzzing around it; hard at work.
They don't seem to be hostile. One even flies nearby you, lands on your hand, before losing interest and buzzing away again. The hive is fairly high up, but with your stick, you could reach it. Something tells you that the bees aren't going to be happy if you bash about their hive though. <===========>
??? Stopsignal 10/10 9/10 10/10
You take in the beauty of the surrounding area, smiling gently to yourself for a moment. Turning to the boulder, you throw yourself over it, grunting a little with effort and climbing atop the platform of grey stone. The trees were tall, but you could clearly see a lot more from a vantage point like this.
You notice the land dip down not to far in the distance, with sunlight reflecting off what could be... a lake? Water? That was certainly good news. You can't see much else, but you've got somewhere at least!
Note added: Lake location Note added: The forest is large. If only you had some means to explore faster...
You then hop off the boulder, happily collecting the rocks, until you notice breathing coming from behind you. Turning around in confusion, you see a glimpse of a female figure with pure, white hair and robes, before the image of the female dissipates into thin air.
An empty syringe lays on the floor next to where she was standing... Four small rocks acquired! <===========>
??? Mrnocamera 10/10 9/10 10/10
Using your intelligence, you break a few sticks here and there whilst heading beneath the crown of swaying leaves. The broken bits of the young trees around you are very clear; this will make it quite hard for you to get lost.
Thanks to your good idea, you're much less likely to get lost whilst scouting now.
You keep walking, not finding much of interest, when you see a small crater in the landmass. You approach it, and notice that there's... some sort of small doll in the middle of it.
The doll looks like a little toy, blonde-haired nurse of some sort. Big blue eyes watch you happily, before the wind blows the doll's gaze away.
You wonder if a child lost one of their toys around here. Thankfully, it isn't one of those creepy dolls - quite cute, in fact. <===========>
The two intrepid adventurers set out northwar- crap. Considering you don't really know where North is, the two of you decide to head off in a direction nobody else really went, and pretend you're travelling North.
Everything seems peaceful as you both walk side by side, taking in nature's bounty. You notice that a few butterflies of a bright white are fluttering around this area; one lands on the man's finger for a moment, before flapping away again.
You both then stop in your tracks. You could see slight movement ahead of you, in the grass and behind the trunks of the steadfast trees.
It looked like a pair of fluffy, grey squirrels. They both seem to be snuffling eachother and messing around in the grass, oblivious to your location. You thought your footsteps would have scared them away ages ago, but these squirrels seemed to be too wild to know about humans.
Note added: Squirrels in the forest There's a few small/medium rocks around this area, and white butterflies seem to be gathering around a little bluish flower. <===========>
Upon closer inspection, the female of the two discovers that there is in fact something unusual about the daffodil patch. A small, little golden necklace is hung over one of the flowers; a small decorative carving of a sleek, female figure with a pair of wings at her back is cast from some sort of golden medal, with a light and elegant chain. You wonder what this could mean.
Unknown necklace found!
As for the rabbit hole, there isn't anything that unusual about that. Perhaps the fact that there aren't any nearby rabbits, but they're probably out eating or something like that.
The male considers using the daffodils as cordage. If created with adequate finesse, there's a chance this could work, but merely talking about it isn't going to do much. ((Remember you do some actions and talk in the same turn, Lorknis! Also going to introduce another mechanic on the OOC.)) <===========>
??? yonsisac 10/10 9/10 10/10
Knowing that it might be a smart idea to gather up some resources, you carry the three medium rocks, and return them to the centre next to the bundle of sticks. You wonder if you could make some useful things with these resources.
+3 Medium Rocks Added to Stockpile!
You grab your satchel, and head back to the same spot by the boar tracks. In terms of materials and resources, there's plenty of wood around (an almost infinite resource, considering you're in a forest.) You can easily pick sticks, but logs will prove somewhat challenging to get.
Upon closer inspection, you notice a few, red-coloured mushrooms growing on the side of a tree. Next to the growth of mushrooms, someone seems to have carved a message into this tree with a blade of some sort:

??? attempts to communicate to the bees. (As if that would actually work.)
Since the likely-hood of bees understanding him is extremely low, and messing with the bees is probably not a good idea. ??? will explore further into the forest, leaving the hive behind, in the likely situation that they are normal bees.
Oh, and he'll collect any rocks he sees.

After much thought, and really chewing it over. He realized that if the time were to come to off of one group member, he'd be it. Seeing as how his buddies had already abandoned him. He breaks the sticks he carried to camp, making them small enough to fit in his bag while leaving enough space. After this he'd start off in a direction away from anyone else, it was time to find his own path in life.

The dark skinned woman, glances at the squirrels, then searches for a large stick or stone before turning towards the squirrels. "We need to eat, correct? Squirrels are food," she says, glancing towards the man with her as if she'd asked a question and was waiting for an answer.

"Woah..." he mutters. That was surprising, but he did not saw it as horrible or scary. It was strange, otherwordly, and it felt good, in a weird way.
But he has to continue, maybe they drugged him to get him to sleep before bringing him there, and those were just allucinations of the drug. Yes, that is. "Let's go". First he'll peek to all sides, in case if there is anything, and then slowly, carefully walk up to the syringe, and take it, just in case. He takes one of the rocks, and uses it to mark in the big boulder the direction where he thinks the center is, and the other one where he thinks the lake is.
((I'm undecided here, Jakers, could you roll a desicion for me here? If not it's ok, just tell me and i edit. Like, if it's X i advance towards the lake, and if it's Y i try to come back to the clear in the center of the world)) It's hard to decide, either to continue exploring that lake or go back and report. Whatever he decides, he will do. Also, any path he will take, he will start marking trees with the rock to know the path.

While the other guy is talking about using the daffodils for rope, The short woman spots the necklace and quickly slips it away into her pocket (or her pack if there's no pockets) unnoticed.
"Perhaps you should try that, given it's either try to catch food somehow or starve to death, I could help gather any materials needed, maybe even help setup multiple traps to improve our chances of catching something." She says almost matter of factly.

??? Rhodri 10/10 9/10 10/10
You go up to the bee hive, and attempt to communicate with them. "Bzzzt.... bzzz bzzz bzzz! Bzzzzzzzzzztttt!"
It doesn't work. Perhaps you should shape up on your Beenese... or whatever language bees speak. On the bright side, the bees still seem to be docile, buzzing about happily to harvest nearby flowers. You decide to press on through the forest.
Going further, you're sure to pick up any rocks on the way as you carry on. The occasional tree is here and there... hmm? You stop at the sight of something interesting. A huge tree, much larger than the others, stands firm with a richer shade of brown in its wood. What's more, there seems to be a little window of some sort coming from the huge tree, with a faint light emitting from it.
Confused, you wonder if anybody's home in this literal tree house. 2 Medium Rocks Acquired! 3 Small Rocks Acquired! <===========>
??? Stopsignal 10/10 9/10 10/10
Although you didn't know why or how it was there, you bend down and take the syringe. Who knows, it could come in handy.
Empty syringe acquired!
You also use a rock to mark the locations of the lake and the centre, so you won't get lost. You carve arrows onto the large boulder; knowing now that you aren't going to get confused when you return to this spot. The chance of getting lost is significantly reduced around this area.
You then decide to explore the lake, following the general direction of it. Birds tweet and sing their daily songs around you, and the warmth of the sun combined with the gentle wind is relaxing; you were lucky it didn't get cold out here, especially with the little clothes you were all wearing.
You come to a stop, looking over a huge well of glistening water in front of you. The trees thin out less sparsely, leaving long, swaying grass around the clear water of the lake. It's fairly large, so large that you're just able to see the other side. As well as that, the area around this lake seems to thin out into a grassland. There are also long reeds around the lake; these look sturdy and could be perfect for cordage.
You then notice that a male figure seems to be holding a fishing rod in the distance by the side of the lake, a wide hat covering most of his face. You'd need to get closer to go and see other features about him... but he hasn't noticed you yet. <===========>
??? Mrnocamera 10/10 9/10 10/10
As you reach down and touch the doll, you suddenly jump in alarm as it disintegrates into some sort of green light, and before you know it, the green light seems to flood into your body!
After a while of the strange humming and the flashes of light, you open one eye curiously, wondering if the onslaught was over. All the light was gone now... and there was nothing left of the doll. Although you had a slight headache... you didn't actually feel any pain or negative feeling from the weird green light. In fact... you feel more skilled somehow!
First Aid Skill Increased by 1!
You continue on through the forest, wondering what else could be found. Unfortunately, this stretch of forest is nothing out of the ordinary, it seems. Just trees... and stuff... hm. There were a few white butterflies flapping around some sort of bluish flower, though. One of the white butterflies settles on your nose for a few seconds. Nature seemed to be quite friendly around this place, at least. <===========>
Both of you manage to get your hands on one of the hefty stones around the area, and both of the squirrels are still happily running around eachother in the grass, oblivious to your plans. It's sort of... morally hard to bring yourself to do this...
The question was, who was going to do the deed, if at all? The squirrels are roughly 15ft away, so it shouldn't be too hard of a throw.
You both give eachother a look, nodding. You were both going to try and do the deed at the same time. You lift your rocks, and give them a good throw towards a squirrel each.
??? Hibou 1d20 To-Hit | VS | Other Squirrel 1d20-4 (Surprised!) To-Dodge ??? Hibou: 12 | Squirrel: 7. Success! (Medium)
You both perform a successful throw, sending both your rocks soaring at each of the squirrels. You wince a little as you hear the crunching of their bones, along with pained squeaks. Blood splatters against the forest floor, and their happy playing comes to an end.
The forest becomes silent for a moment; birds fly away.
But hey, at least both the squirrels died before they even knew what hit them. 2 x Dead Squirrels are here. <===========>
The female of the two pockets the necklace. As she picks it up, it feels somewhat light in her hand... almost as if it weighed nothing. Your white cotton pants do have two shallow pockets; small enough to store the little necklace in.
With some of the daffodils, the male gets to work on tying them into a binding. With ample enough manual dexterity, you're able to make some cordage using the daffodil stalks. It isn't sturdiest material around, but it'll have to do. And at least it smells nice.
Weak Cordage Rope (Small) Acquired!
There are still quite a few daffodils around if you ever needed to make more. It wouldn't last forever, though. <===========>
??? yonsisac 10/10 9/10 10/10
You pick a leaf from one of the trees, wrapping the mushrooms carefully in them and storing them away in your satchel. They seem to ooze a reddish liquid as you pick them from the tree, leaving stains on the trunk.
+6 Red Mushrooms Acquired!
Yikes! You narrowly dodge out the way as another boar comes running along, bursting past you and going the same path as the previous one did. What was the meaning of this? They weren't attacking you... it was almost like they were running away from something. <===========>
??? ajwilli1 10/10 9/10 10/10
Deciding to go alone in this world, you pick up the 15 sticks you gathered, breaking them into smaller pieces for easier storage and taking them for yourself.
-15 Sticks Removed from the Stockpile +30 Small Sticks Acquired!
Finally, you set out in a direction the furthest away from any of the others went. Everybody has gone in all sorts of directions, but you're pretty sure nobody's been this way before. You begin to travel this world, alone.
The shade of the trees looms over you, yet the reassuring flowers here and there around the forest make the start of your path quite... captivating. From your first stretch of land, you stop to admire a bush that holds bright yellow berries. You weren't sure if they were edible or not... but they did smell pretty good.
"Going alone, huh?" A voice behind you says. Turning around, you furrow your brow in confusion as a very tall and gracious female figure, her hair short and golden, with a pair of large tan feathered wings at her back watching you with a somewhat interested expression. She's wearing some plain, brown burlap clothing, with a pouch of unknown contents around her waist. Her skin is tanned, and her eyes are golden like her hair.
"Going alone's always been my favourite way of doing things." She says, folding her arms as she looks down at you curiously; you'd guess she was about 6"7. "Less restricting. More... freedom..." She whispers. She then picks one of the berries on the bush, pops it into her mouth, and spreads her wings. "Anyways, gotta fly. I'll keep my eye on you... you and your group seem different from the others. My brother probably already told you that. Perhaps we'll meet again some day."
And with that, she launches from the ground, piercing through the cover of leaves. You can see her gliding figure for a few seconds, before she's gone. You're unsure what the heck just happened... but at least you now knew the berries were edible... right? <===========>
??? wilson7755 10/10 9/10 10/10
You set about collecting some resources for the camp, grabbing what you could in terms of small, flexible sticks and plant fibres that could potentially be used for cordage. You figured that you'd need some of these resources later.
You notice one of the men of the group pack up the sticks he collected earlier, before he heads of alone into the woods without saying a word. Was he going alone out there? Either way, his figure disappeared into the forest now.

The lake is wonderful, and he thinks it'd be a good place to camp, maybe later he could tell the other people. Oh, wait, a man...
Hmm. The man looks like he still did not saw him, so the bearded man thinks that he will approach slowly, then sit by him, and say "how is the fishing?".
However he is not dumb, he kniws it could be dangerous. It's not the best weapon, but he grabs the pointiest rock he has and hides it in his hand, just in case.

Rhodri feels up the tree for some sort of hidden door.
If that doesn't work, he'll try to climb the tree or nearby trees to look through the window.
Oh! And he'll use some grass to bind a stick and rock together, creating a tool that can bash things. Or as a crude axe. Or pickaxe, if sharp enough. Or cudgel... It's a rock attached to a stick, it has a lot of uses if you have enough imagination.

The quiet woman was simply laying down against the ground unlike the rest of them. Frantically searching would be a waste of her energy and probably a waste of time too. However as she rested and no one really came back with any big findings she decided that she'd have to take matters into her own hands. What a pain in the ass. Her crystal blue eyes scan around after she gets up and her fine ears listen for the sound of rushing water or water in general, searching for a river or lake, as that would be the best spot for a camp.

I'm gonna search a little bit further out so if anything happens yell and I'll come running." He said as he continued in the direction they we're originally heading.

Firstly, you try to tie a rock to a stick using some of the long grass. It takes a short while, and doing the job is pretty fiddly, but you manage to tie one of the rocks onto your stick. What you've made is... uh... well, it certainly doesn't seem very sturdily tied. If you had some better cordage it might look more reliable. You've created some sort of club nonetheless.
Crude Rock Club | Bash/Melee | Slow Speed | Low-Med Dmg
You next look for some sort of hidden door on the tree, feeling around it. Nothing. You're about to climb the tree for some kind of opening until you hear a very high-pitched voice come from the window.
"Oi! D'you mind, matey? Some people get a bit ticked off when people climb their property!"
You look down, and looking back at you is some sort of tiny human figure, about the size of your hand, dressed up in a tiny leather duster. Looking closer shows that it seems to be a female with a messy black ponytail and an eyepatch tightened around her right eye, looking at you somewhat impatiently; fluttering transparent wings behind her.
"Well? You gonna buy somethin' or not, chump? I ain't got all spring." She says in somewhat of a bored and agitated voice, standing in the small window of the large tree. You noticed she had somewhat of a cockney accent, and the... whatever it was, seemed to be sizing you up just in case.

You approach the man who's fishing. On closer inspection, you can see an old man, hunched over next to the lake with a peaceful expression in his faded blue eyes. He has a short, grey-ish beard accompanied by a few twirls of grey hair coming from under his olive boonie hat. His build is a little chubby, and as you speak, he jumps a little in place, whirling his head around to look at you. You notice he's wearing the same white cotton shirt + trousers you are.
Upon recognizing that you were a human, his expression goes from concern to a casual smile, and the old man re-casts his line.
"Well hey there. Didn't know there was more of us out here." He begins, watching his line carefully. "The fishin'? Haven't caught anything yet... but I've been gettin' some bites!" He continues enthusiastically.
"Look at me bein' so rude. Haven't even introduced myself. I couldn't really remember who I am... but a few people I stay with call me 'Hook'. At least I know I sure loved fishin'. Couldn't stop thinkin' about makin' a rod since I woke up." Hook chuckles. He seemed to be a kind old man; his voice slow and wise.

You take a squirrel each, knowing the hide, meat and bone would come in handy. The squirrels were a bit bloody, but still in pretty good condition considering the circumstances.
The dark-skinned woman leading, you decide to march a little further into the woods. You're both pretty sure you know the way back.
You keep walking, until you notice that in this area, the trees around the forest seem to slowly come to an end. A large clearing of very flat, bluish grass is gathered up around a single grave, made crudely from two tied sticks. A single blue flower, with white butterflies floating around it, is planted by the grave.

Surprised at your discovery, you then notice one of the men from the dry grass patch seems to be here, looking at... eh?
Squinting, you notice that a small, pixie like creature (see Rhodri's update) is talking to the man with an agitated expression on her face. The two haven't noticed you yet.
"Well? You gonna buy somethin' or not, chump? I ain't got all spring." The pixie squeaks at the man by the tree angrily.

Curious to see what the boars could be running away from, you head the opposite direction to where the boars were going.
Sure to be careful, it doesn't take long for you to see in the distance what the boars were running away from.
Some sort of hound with blood-red fur, gaping maroon eyes and sharp teeth growls as it stalks the tracks of the boar, snuffling the air around it with malicious intent.

You get straight to working on your trap with the cordage; it takes a little while to find a large, flat rock - and your very short frame and low strength makes it quite hard to carry, but after some effort, you've managed to create a working trap! Good work.
Waiting for a rabbit ro pass by, you pull the necklace from your pocket, inspecting it more closely. It's the figure of a tall woman wearing casual clothing, long hair, and a gracious look about her. There's a large pair of wings folded behind the woman, and a casual smile is placed on her pretty face. The whole thing is carved from a piece of shining, goldish metal, tied onto a delicate chain.
You then put on the necklace. As you do this, you can feel some sort of... presence... and then, the sound of some sort of graceful voice is audible for a short while in your head.
"Rub my wings, and I will lend you them for a short while... once..."
The voice and the feeling of a presence soon fades, and a tan-coloured feather gently floats from above, landing on the top of your head. What was... <===========>

Unfortunately, you aren't able to hear or see any water - all that your ears manage to pick up is the various tweets of the birds. However, you do come across a clearing with a large boulder in the center of it. There's an arrow carved on it pointing to the dry grass patch for some reason.

You're in an area of the forest, with an angry looking red dog sniffing around for you. >Nickboom - Behind you leads to the center of the world. You're in an area of the forest, by a clearing with a large boulder in the middle of it. >The rest are all standing in a large, circular patch of dry grass that is the center of the world. Thick forests surround you, but nobody has explored them yet. 3 medium sized rocks, and a small pile of plant fibres + flexible sticks are scattered on the ground; two of the men collected them. The pink suited man's empty pink teacup and saucer is here. >ajwilli1 - Behind you leads to the dry grass patch, but you feel like you won't need to go back there unless you want to regroup. There is a bush of yellow, most likely edible berries here. The bush probably has about 18 berries.

"I..." The woman stops talking again, and decides to head down the path she's made, to explore a bit further. "I should probably talk to someone eventually... "

The Un-Named makes a few more pointed sticks, then he heads over to the forest and grabs a large leaf to make a grip for his "Knife". He takes a stick to make a bow limb, then he uses a plant cord to make a bow. He snaps some sticks to make some small pointed sticks for the bow.

She kept moving, making a mental note of the rock she continued to search for water, always listening for the sound of water she moved forward trying to keep to where the sun was in the sky.

The woman with the unusual eyes[[I'll alternate between this and the short woman when describing my char]] begins to wonder if she is already going insane and starting to hear voices in her head. She chalks it up to the boredom of waiting to catch something getting to her.
Still waiting for something; she looks around for anything that might be usable as bait.

HWHASWAROT squats down onto his haunches and examines the flower next to the grave. He gets his face very close to the plant, to better examine it and the butterfly.

The annoying one takes the lead as the two of you head off to this so-called lake, leaving the Stix and the large tree behind. You still weren't sure what she was selling, or what those 'Blueflowers' were.
You soon see the clearing with the boulder, and there's an arrow carved onto the large hunk of stone for some reason or another. The annoying one remembers that past this is the lake.
Soon, the two men bump into another woman on the way to the lake through the forest. Her hair is of a crystal blue, and she seems to be part of the group, seemingly looking for water. Looks like she was in luck.
After some crunchy footsteps through the leaves and plants of the forests, dirt was coating the trio's bare feet, but the lake was now in sight. Clear, crystal water, surrounded by a neat grassland before it branched back into woodland again. A bright, golden orb reflected from the water's surface. You'd found it: a water source.
Location Added: The Lake
By the side of the large lake, you can see one of the other survivors seemingly being gifted furs by an old man with a fishing rod. <===========>
??? Rock 9/10 8/10 10/10
You take the furs given to you by Hook, before the kind old man returns to fishing in his spot. Footsteps are heard behind you, and you turn around to see a trio of the fellow survivors by the dry grass patch. Looks like they found the lake, too.
Note Added: Hook +1 Medium Fur Pelt Acquired! <===========>
??? Mrnocamera 9/10 8/10 10/10
You head back, going past the blue flower and white butterflies again, following the trail of branches that you broken off.
After more exploring, you stop dead in your tracks, realizing a huge crack in the lands. Tree stumps with splintered wood around the edges of it were hanging limply off the sides of this crack, with damp moss growing on the side of the clammy, whitish stone walls. It seemed to be a ravine, descending into darkness below. You weren't sure how deep the ravine was, but jumping down definitely wouldn't be a good idea.
Note Added: The Ravine
The trees seem to be thinning out. You have a feeling you're starting to leave the forest. <===========>
The female of the two approaches the grave, having a closer look at the grave and kneeling down. Upon closer inspection, beside the blue flower there seems to be a small doll resting against the side of the grave. It seems to be a small figurine of a tough, gruff man holding a battleaxe.
HWHASWAROT, or Haswarot for short, lays next to the flower, putting his face almost right next to the flower. The white butterfly seems curious, and perches on your nose as you study the flower.
The blue flower seems to have a very slight glow to it, with small and somewhat fluffy bright blue petals. It stood almost perfectly upright, a thin white stalk holding it up, and the flower seemed to emit a slight hum as it swayed in the wind. What a pretty flower. <===========>
??? yonsisac 9/10 8/10 10/10
You grab the nearest object, which happens to be a small chunk of wood. It felt pretty light, so it would be perfect for creating a distraction.
You throw it in a random direction. [18]. Great throw! With a strong arm, you hurl the wooden chunk and it rustles through the forest floor, causing the red dog to grunt and growl, distracting it from snuffling the air as it bounds towards the rustling noise.
Phew... that was close. Note Added: Red dogs (Aggressive) <===========>
??? Caconym 9/10 8/10 10/10
Your eyes dull and pretty bored of waiting, you look around for anything that you could use as bait. Unless rabbits secretly loved to eat sticks, it didn't look like there was anything good around.
[3] You give a yawn as you keep watching the trap after a while; still nothing.
[15]You're about to give another yawn, until you realize what you've finally been waiting for: a rabbit, cluelessly strolls under your trap, trying to re-enter the rabbit hole. You tug on the cordage with all your might, even if it is pretty hard with your small arms.
[11] The cordage whines as you tug on it, and the rabbit seems to notice it, starting to turn away! At the last second, the large rock crunches the back half of the rabbit, just as it was about to get away.
The back half of its body crushed, the rabbit whines in pain, its ears twitching in horror. There's no way it could get away now, let alone move. <===========>

Being the awesome craftsman that you were, you get straight to work on creating some more useful tools and weaponry.
First, you improve your sharp rock by wrapping a large leaf around it. It isn't much, but at least the sharp rock was more comfortable to use now.
You make a few more pointy sticks, adding them to the stockpile. +3 Pointy Sticks Added To The Stockpile!
Next up was a bow. Using a long stick for the bow limb, you bend it slightly, aiming to wrap some of the unrefined plant cord for the bowstring. The creation is somewhat successful... although the bowstring really doesn't look very sturdy. You weren't sure how the bow would perform without a test. Crude Bow Created!
Finally, you make some small pointed sticks for makeshift arrows. Eh... you weren't convinced these would be very powerful at all. +10 Unfletched Crude Arrows Created!
Either way, that Pinkman's Tea was certainly giving you the energy boost you needed for getting the job done, and all of this was great practice.

Also, he reaches the survivors.

"...That's deep." She says to herself, kicking one of the chunks of wood into the ravine. After waiting for a while, she decides to head back, picking up the flower on the way back. Hey, it's a nice flower.

"What?" He said as the 'angel' ascended to the heavens, he grabbed some of the berries and sniffed them. If they smelled bitter he would not consume them, if they smelled sweet however he'd give it a nibble.

The woman looks at the lake, giving a small smile though it was more of a smirk. She mulls around the lack quickly looking for anything of note, plant wise around. She was also looking for any streams leading out of the lake or maybe a river. If she did she'd find a nice clearing near both the lake and river, if not she'd find a clearing close to the lake to start clearing for the camp.

The Annoying One* walks to a location near the edge of the lake as far away from everyone else as possible, to try to leave a life undisturbed by people who can't stay quite for more than 3 minutes.
He would need a decent shelter. After some pondering, he would realize he would need an axe to make the one he had imagined. The Annoying One searches for a relatively large rock (near the boulder, perhaps?) and would smash it against a larger, solid object (double mention of boulder) to smash it against. Hopefully, after some continued smashing it would break into multiple smaller rocks, one of them sharp enough to be used as an axe. If it doesn't repeat until one does.
*Fuck it, that's his name now.

ShouldI call myself something, hm... Fletch sounds nice. He thinks, he picks up his bow and tests it on a nearby tree. After he tests it he looks for a birch of somekind and takes some bark from it.

The strange eyed woman moves in for closer inspection, she picks up a stick and does the best she can to sharpen it off a rock and approach the rabbit with a almost malevolent grin on her face as she goes to end the rabbit's life. "well what do we have here? Looks like dinner" she says barely audible to anyone but her.
After presumably killing the rabbit, she picks it up and begins to plan what to do next. She entertains the idea of trying follow the trail of the other guy, She toys with the idea of heading off in another direction by herself, or even simply heading back to the CoTW.
After considering things she heads off and picks up the trail of the other guy, for now.

Fletch makes a spit with two Y-shaped sticks, which he finds and sharpens, and a pointed spear. He goes and grabs some dried leaves, branches, fallen logs, he makes distinctive marks on the trees with his knife. He piles up the branches, he tries to make a friction fire.
