> I'll try one more time. Can I get any food that's decent?

Finally! ...Yeah, the pancakes here look pretty good. Mindy can see several people in the group who already have them.

[Kennifer]

>Are Jimothy's burgers ready yet?

Nope, the patty took a bit longer than expected to thaw out so it's not done yet.

[wingedcatgirl]

"Mm, these are good pancakes. Can I >get some fruit to go with them?"

[PointMaid]

>get some fruit to go with them?"

Ooh, fresh strawberries, blueberries and peaches!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Any maple syrup I can get with my pancakes?

[KungFuCutbug]

[Good, the earlier macabre topic seems to have passed. Everyone else seems to be enjoying their food, so... heh, X should probably get some himself, shouldn't he?]

> Order some pancakes for yourself as well

[PointMaid]

> Any maple syrup I can get with my pancakes? (Lee)

Yay! There's maple syrup! ...Most of what hasn't been used by others seems to be in those small single-serve packets.

> Order some pancakes for yourself as well (Cutbug)

You also get pancakes! Yummy, fluffy pancakes

[Whistle]

Jake struts into the diner, not realizing where everyone has gone. He looks and sees that some of the faces are missing, having been replaced by new... more unfamiliar ones.
He makes a note of that in his notepad, sits down at his own table, then >orders a bacon cheeseburger.

[KungFuCutbug]

[Oh FUCK yeah, these are the good pancakes! They're missing a little something, though...]

> Reach over and snag one of those maple syrup packets

[PointMaid]

>orders a bacon cheeseburger.

It may take a minute (with those defrosting patties), but Jake shouldn't have to wait too long :)

> Reach over and snag one of those maple syrup packets

Packet is sniped with nobody being the wiser!

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Mindy is satisfied with her pancakes, especially with that maple syrup.

[awe921]

Catar has been queting along in the background, eating stuff. Those pancakes look good, though... really, really good.

She has dried herself up "off screen" so to speak, and is just chomping down on the pancakes right now. A bit of an unusual treat, especially since she struggles to eat it, but the taste is so good it's worth it.

[Risdio51]

I've been here the whole time. I have not once been absent. You're crazy. You're making things up.


…anyways, challenge!

Survival 101, a New Yorker's Perspective 

* Find out which direction you need to be going to get back
"Ugh, of course I get lost in the woods here. Central Park is confusing as is…sun rises in the east and sets in the west, right? Follow that logic to get me started, then retrace my steps."
* Make something to keep the rain off while you walk
"I could find some bark from a tree, fashion myself something to keep the rain off my back. Wouldn't be splendid or convent like an umbrella, would probably be gross, but I could make something work."
* Find something in the woods you can eat on the way so you have enough energy. If you need to, figure out how to cook it.

"Are you sure I can't pack a Cliff bar or something? Fine. The chief's not gonna like me using NYPD weaponry for hunting, but what else are you gonna do in an emergency? A nice deer will do. As for cooking…there's probably plenty of twigs around, hopefully dry enough to start a fire."

[PointMaid]

Aya has rolled an 8, a 2, and a 5+2 for marksmanship, giving her a score of 17

She does orient herself perfectly well enough to get her headed in the right direction back towards camp. Yeah, the paths are twisty, but there can't be that many of them, can there? Can there?

Her bark rain cover doesn't work very well. It keeps crumbling, and when it does, it's gross and wet. :(

She does manage to bag a deer, though. Guess all that time at the firing range paid off! The fire isn't the easiest to start, but the damp twigs add a bit of smoky flavor to the venison.

[PointMaid]

That means MAPLE is our Lost in the Woods Challenge champion! Congratulations, Sylvi! Maple will have a primo cabin for the night for his help in getting everyone back safely :)

We will close for an extended Night Phase of about a week, as previously discussed in the Discord; but we won't start Night Phase until tomorrow, so for now feel free to keep on doing what you're doing and prepare for Night.

[Risdio51]

"I guess I am kinda hungry. The venison was nice and all, but I just want some normal food."

>order a big ol cheeseburger

[Dookie]

Victoria decides to stray from the group and > Look through the town. Is it fairly normal for a small northwestern forest town?

[PointMaid]

>order a big ol cheeseburger (Risdio)

....The waitress stops you right there. She'll make sure the people who already ordered burgers get theirs, but... What's wrong *now* with the burgers? You don't even want to know, she says. You don't even want to know.

> Look through the town. Is it fairly normal for a small northwestern forest town?

Sure seems so as far as you can tell. Sure seems so.

Maple eats his fruit and pancakes cheerfully.

"So what do you all do when you're not on forest vacations where people inexplicably get murdered?"

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Well, before I moved outta Brooklyn, always liked to play baseball, and struck some people out. I can bat all right, but make me a pitcher, you'll see I got a rifle for an arm. Maybe if some of us are alive later on, we can get a game in. Fro Kid said there was some sports equipment here. And we're at camp. Why not make use of it?

“We are the proprietors of an establishment dealing in antiques in Qìdā. But we trust that our automated systems will do a good job taking care of the shop in our absence.”

[Caret]

"Uh.. I already said what I do. I am a researcher and an adventurer."

"Ditto! Atop of that, I'm also a princess! On the plus side, you get to collect a lot of fancy dresses and people look up to you, but on the other hand, taking care of actual political stuff isn't fun. I can tolerate it, but I would rather be building somethin' in my workshop than signing documents!"

[Oggy123]

Maple eats his fruit and pancakes cheerfully.

"So what do you all do when you're not on forest vacations where people inexplicably get murdered?"

While eating his cake, Gooble replies to him.

"Well, i live in a massive laboratory where scientists work together and study and contain various anomalies in the world. My parents are scientists! They taught me about animals and sometimes the outside world. I've never really went outside, though, until now..."

"Brooklyn, huh? I'm from Manhattan myself. You ever been to the Upper West Side?"

[PointMaid]

The name is Booker, by the way. Not 'Fro kid'.
