WhyEverNot_8 he/him Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Quote Missed that part about the sky Connor opens his eyes from stretching and freezes “Uhh… Yea, looks like I’m not finding food any time soon.” Then, glancing at Krin, he says “You have any idea- okay, no, you don’t either” then he laughs, a low sound, with a bitter tinge at the edges.

Unintelligenius he/him Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 One of Quelkin's legs is kicked from beneath him and he stumbles then trips on a root and falls into a puddle of mud. He tenses up, ready to absorb another stab to his back. But none came. He rolled over and sat up only to see @Spark of Hope quickly running back the way they came. "Well that's unfortunate" a voice says behind him. Quelkin whips his head around and sees Nacho hanging by his legs upside-down from a low tree branch. "Unfortunate?", Quelkin asks, "That I didn't die?" "Why of course... Well we better get going before the lady with the knife returns", Nacho replies. Quelkin makes his way farther into the jungle that is slowly being transformed into a swamp. After a while of quickly walking and stumbling quite a bit, due to the darkness, Quelkin leans against a sturdy tree. "What? Tired already?" Nacho asks. "I feel weak. My minds clouded and I don't have my normal strength" Quelkin replies. "Or your just hungry" Nacho says. "No this is something more. Something bigger then just hunger. Quelkin opens that bag that he took from the two tributes during the storm. @Spark of Hope Quote I'm pretty sure that the bag just has some vials of tin and some food supplies but I just wanted to make sure.

"Tinker!" @The Bookwyrm Tinker had freed himself from the ground and had torn off the right sleeve of his jumpsuit and used it to tie a mask over his nose and mouth. "Those are Aether Spores," he said, jesturing to the falling motes. "Don't let them touch your nose or mouth; they activate when they touch water." Quote How many different kinds of Spores are falling, and what are you doing about the fact that this arena is filled with water that would activate them the moment they hit the ground? @Edema Rue Edited May 22 by The Bookwyrm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
