A man with blacker than black hair stands behind the counter. “Welcome,” he says, “to The Casino. How may I help you?” Quote AHH, STUFF HAPPENED! I had to go to school. Are there too many people in the casinos for me to still be in one, or should I leave? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sees no supplies, but the jungle is thick and dense, and it's easy to hide. 23 minutes ago, The Honorable One said: Konrad headed into the jungle.

The Hunger Games, Ede said. You'll never find a more wretched place of death and backstabbing. Konrad walked through the jungle, searching for water, food, or any other supplies. He sees condensed water dripping down leaves, and there are plenty of fruits growing. It's impossible to tell which might be poisonous, however. 22 minutes ago, The Stormfather said: Quote Basically just imagine a super thick jungle.

The Stormfather Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 1 minute ago, Edema Rue said: He finds several. He picks up two fist-sized rocks, looking around towards the building. Too many people in there. Too dangerous. He turns away, walking further north very slowly through the thick jungle, walking even slower to be careful not to get too close to any plants that seem dangerous. (Any plants that are colorful or spiky.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
