    “So you’d take one as well? You wouldn’t have to give up anything you can do already - not with the glasses and not with the suit.” Nick nods solemnly. “I’ll get started.” Nick turns to the other two. @AltonicKeys @TheRavenHasLanded “Would you both like advisors, and xenosuits once I can get them?”

    The popcorn sprays away from his head, as if hitting a wall. “If you want. I can take the circlet off and get an actual paddle. It might make this more fair.”

    Dray walks over, holding some ferrorods. “I can do it; but we need to get some tinder and an actual fire circle. Without the first, it won’t light, and without the second, we could burn the forest down. Tinder is the smallest wood - kindling is the sticks that it will light.” Rustling around in the backpack again, he comes up with a pocket knife. “I’ll get us some wood shavings. Does anybody else know how to whittle?” Turning back to the whole group, Dray continues coordinating. “Does anyone else know how to use a bow saw? I’ll set up an axe yard over there. You two - put the dry branches in a pile here, wet branches and green leaves over there, and see if you can bring one of the fallen trees over there.” Then, he gets a rope from his bag, and begins tying it to some trees that form a rough triangle. “These bags are weird. I’d think I would have heard about the technology to do this sort of thing.”

    "The branches," Dragonheir calls to him. "We don't have an axe or a saw, so we couldn't do anything with the logs." Suddenly, his backpack gets a lot heavier. "What the?" Looking into it, he sees an axe in a sheath and a bow saw. "Alright, who did that? It's not funny." "We're going to make a triangle - it's a help signal. One fire could be from a lightning strike, but three in an orderly shape. Obviously manmade."

    Nick nods, seeming to understand Kaleb's wistfulness. "I will." "Of course not. That's what the glasses are for; people generally don't like being directly modified unless there's a really good reason."

    "I don't. But it is cold up here. I think our first priority should be a fire. Three of them, actually." he turns to the others. "Look around for medium sized rock and fallen trees. Make sure we're all in sight of at least one person."

    "My apologies. This is to the death, if you recall."
  8. DragonHeir
    "This may take a while."

    "Who made this stupid map? It has no legend at all, and no scale. It's just a bunch of landmarks." "Agreed. We all have backpacks; we can use them to carry our stuff."
  10. DragonHeir
    “Do you know how to read maps? Because I do.” DragonHeir continues rustling around in the backpack. Checking the pouch on the strap, he finds a compass. (I can do that, right?)

    “SIMON is only connected to my brain at five points: he can hear and see what I do; he can add visuals and audio, which aren’t real and thus cannot obscure my vision or hearing; and he can hear active thoughts if I send them to him - I need to practice doing that before it will work.” “You’re on for that, once this storm stops. And I’ll get started on the advisor glasses - I’m going to start with SIMON as a template, but then you can make suggestions for preferences.”
  12. DragonHeir
    “I’m Dragonheir. And, no, we should not. We should have a firm plan in place before we start, otherwise we’ll run out of supplies or get lost or something.” “Is that a map?”
  13. DragonHeir
    “I guess I’ll have to go for you, then,” Veer says, launching the ball around halfway through his sentence.
  14. DragonHeir
    “I did, but the main function of the glasses was SIMON. If the glasses got too far away, this new body would stop working, so his system is directly in my head now. I do have enough metal to construct some new ones for you four, if you still want them.” @The Stormfather, did Nick’s experiment work? He left a quasi-xenosuit and the glasses near the gray people to see if they came with him.
  15. DragonHeir
    “That might legitimately poison me.” “Nick, you can eat anything now.” “Never mind. I’ll take it, I guess.” Suddenly, you realize something: Nick’s glasses are gone.
  16. DragonHeir
    “I don’t know what that means, but then at least someone would know what’s going on. The only experience I have with being teleported is Wikipedia articles and a play by post roleplay.” Dragon (or Dray or whatever) checks his backpack as well.
  17. DragonHeir
    “How should I know? Anyway, I can’t bring myself back to life many more times. The changes add up, and it’s very difficult to actually revert me to full human. We’re not meant to grow fast, so converting me back would take a lot of messing around that would make me even less like myself.”
  18. DragonHeir
    Veer begins to bounce a corn ball at what is essentially an invisible wall in the air, creating more plants when it hits his hand but also building up speed. “If I kill him, do I win?”

    Nick is indeed radiating a worrying amount of heat. His suit starts to crumble, somehow, cracking off in sections which fall apart further as they hit the ground. He’s got his hood up, and the area beneath the crumbling outer layer is colorful. They’re familiar colors; a blueish white, a bright yellow, and a blue-green. His wings fold behind him, and he sighs. “Theoretically I’m Nick. They put me into a volcano, which essentially killed me. SIMON had to rebuild my body from scratch in order to bring me back.” He pulls the hood off, and he still looks the same, but the texture of his skin is slightly strange. In fact, much of him lies just this side of uncanny valley: he’s moving slightly too fast, and not blinking enough. “My body is pretty much the same; when SIMON could, he actually made it better. I’ll heal faster, move faster, and be tolerant to extreme temperatures. All of me is more efficient.” His shoulders slump. “The one thing that’s not the same is my brain. Human minds - any sapient’s mind, actually - are incredibly complex. They’re hard to get quite right. I still have the same memories, but my brain chemistry is a little different, which will change my personality a bit. Some people have argued the thesusing makes you a different person.” Nick springs away, moving faster than he should but tripping, not used to his own speed. “I’ll hug you in a moment. I was just in an active volcano; touching me will burn you.” Having an idea, he takes his moon crystal and performs an exorcism, then hugs Kaleb.

    “I’m confused. Do they get resurrections too?” Veer sends the balls back with his powers, then serves a third corn ball.
  21. DragonHeir
    Big crunch

    “Is that a backpack that you own? Cause mine is. I wasn’t wearing it earlier, though.” “No. We need to stick together; otherwise one of us could get lost. We’ll go at a good pace, and see if we can find some food.”
  23. DragonHeir
    “I’m a life scout. I can probably keep us alive, at least for a bit.” Dragon takes out his phone, finding (unsurprisingly) that there’s no service (I assume).
  24. DragonHeir
    Dragon looks around. “I think we have two choices. We can go down. Or we can go up.” Noticing he’s wearing his red backpacking backpack, something he hadn’t been wearing before, he looks inside, seeing that it’s empty. “Weird.” “Yeah. It’s probably easier to built a signal on the top; we can flag down a plane or something.”
  25. DragonHeir
    “Hunger games… that sounds ominous.” Veer puts another corn ball from his side into play.
