Ark Tribe Survival

[MelissaB]

As you all regain consciousness the sound of waves can be heard, the feel of sand upon your faces, the blur of your vision as it adjusts to the bright light of the glaring sun. Stumbling to your feet you glance around each of you nearby, all as naked as the day you were born and on full view of each one of you to inspect. You've no idea where you are and no clue as to what you are even doing on this sandy beach together. Seven of you in total and each seeming just as confused about your surroundings as the next. As you look over yourself you notice a strange looking device embedded in the underside of your wrist, the flesh around it looking red and sore as if it was a recent addition and no matter how you might try it doesn't come out and any attempts to get it off only end in pain as the sore flesh sparks up signalling you to stop.

As the tiredness leaves you are startled with how beautiful the world around yo is, lush greens, clear blue waters and yellow sandy beaches, the world is pure, rich and untamed like a haven for life to thrive it is all around you, to the west you see an endless ocean to the east a small lagoon filled with fish you can't recognize followed into what looks to be a huge forest with hulking trees and sounds of life within. Back to your position there is more of the same, a long beach flanked by forest and sea on either side while huge jagged rocks line it here and there, sticking out like pillars. Looking around your immediate area you can see bushes with large thick leaves and large juicy and inviting berries in an array of colors to entice and bring your mouth to water.

As you all seemed to lose the fog in your minds a chilling roar of something huge rings from the forest across the lagoon as the clash of beasts comes hurling into view, Two hulking figures, covered in the signs of a struggle as cuts and gashes mar their body, both are T-rex, they fight and struggle and you are born to witness their battle, clashing as each jostles for position over the other, their short arms trying to push the other down and gain purchase to sink in their teeth around the other's neck The battle goes on for minutes, too stunned by this display to move and the body of water between you behaving like a natural barrier to keep the creatures on the other side. The battle finally comes to a close as one tosses the other to the groan, the black scaled T rex defeating a smaller greyish green one, with a deft movement it snaps the others neck and begins to feed, biting out chucks of it's meal and gulping it down, it's not long before it's tucking in do others, more smaller animals.come to pick the carcass. All of different sizes, tiny almost cute looking reptiles picking at the scraps while others less intimidating than the rex bite of small chucks, the island seeming to enjoy the meal offered by this bout before each scurry back, leaving what was left to rot and be collected by carrion. before it's all over you get one last look of the T rex, nearly fifty feet in length and standing like a titan among the trees before it retreats back into the cover of the forest, leaving all to come to terms with what you've seen.

It was disorienting, waking up on some place unknown, naked and lost. No memories to guide him or give him answers, answers to the questions like "Who i am?" or "Where i am?" and "WHY ARE THERE DINOSAURS!". He felt like of all the questions that fill his mind, that last one was the least and most important. It was the least important one because it didn't really demand an answer like those other questions. It was the most important because question itself pointed to a very important fact, and that fact was "Yes, there are dinosaurs.".

So the man with no memories stood and watched as two gigantic murder lizards did what they do best and murderized each other, only a shallow body of water separating him from the carnage. As one of the beast triumphed over the other he feared for a second that it would come after him, that he would be next. Then he reminded himself that the body of water that stood between them looked deep enough to drown it and the beast itself didn't look very amphibious. Thankfully the creature wasn't interested in finding out if it could swim, deciding to eat the corpse of the fallen dinosaur in a gory show of cannibalism. He did not dare to avert his gaze, not until the beast left, disappearing behind the cover of the forest, leaving his half eaten meal for scavengers and vultures.

It is at this point, man realized that he wasn't alone. He turned behind and saw strangers, people, naked like him. Knowing that he wasn't alone in a dangerous and hostile world brought him some relief. Even though they were strangers, they were still human and hey, "Strangers were friends you just haven't met." or so the saying went, if only he could remember where he heard that.

"So, does anyone here know where we are or why we are here? I am asking because i don't remember and i just saw two murder lizards fight to death." he speaks with a light tone. Deepness of his voice surprises him as the man rediscovers the sound of his own voice.

Skye had woken with a small, soundless gasp. She knew a few other things, her name among them but for the most part everything else was blank. She looked down and noticed that her wrist was red and angry, with something deeply embedded within the wound. She scratched around the strange object, and was rewarded with a small spark that irritated her wound. She saw others.. let's see... six, seven others who were in a similar state. She didn't know any of them, and she was going to be cautious around them. After all, she had no idea what was going on, and something on her mind was simply telling her to keep her distance, at least for now.

Absentmindedly still scratching, she winced as the pain flared up again, and she simply walked over to the water's edge and stuck her hand in. She didn't know what she was doing, but there was something familiar about the water... Then a roar that echoed across the water took the memoryless woman and she watched as two completely unfamiliar bipedal beasts locked in mortal combat. They weren't going to make it across the water, so she didn't immediately bolt. When one of them fell to the other, she felt a grimness in her mind. This world was a place she wouldn't be able to survive, at least alone.

Then, the sole man spoke up, and then Skye realized that none of them were wearing clothes. Nor was she. And two of the women had reproductive anatomy she somehow knew wasn't supposed to be on women. And one of them had... animal ears? She shook her head, not only to answer the man's questions on if she knew anything, but also as a sign of the insanity she was feeling. Something wasn't right, and thanks to her lack of memory, she couldn't quite tell either. She sat in the gentle surf of the water, letting the somehow familiar sensation of water to wash over her and watch the new members.

[An Ying Hu]

She was staring at pitch-black darkness when her consciousness returned to her, tearing her mind from shattered dreams and lost feelings, trying to no avail in breaking through the gap that had been set upon her memory. Not a gap.. an abyss, for she found herself knowing nothing, hammers hitting at the wind, arrows flying desperately to hit a target only they knew was once there. What had happened to her? Somehow, the lack of knowledge struck deeply and disturbingly within her, as if it meant to her a lot more than survival. Gasping and coughing, she rolled on the ground, on her front, slowly opening her eyes to the world, staring at the rich sand that had now stained her face and nude body. Gathering herself to her feet, she wrapped her arms around her rather large bust, shivering more from dread than cold, but the wild life around her was trying even now to soothe her, comforting in its splendour - she liked the look of this place, despite everything. That she knew.

What came afterward was much less pleasant - as the strange, colossal creatures came into view, roaring and fighting with each other, not seemingly care to even notice them or if they did, they were too busy with themselves, and the body of water looked deep enough to protect her and.. the numerous other strangers around her, from momentary harm.

She only had time to cast a few glances at the peculiar people - one of the women in particular, something telling her that this was out of place - or had been such once, where she was from. As the dinosaur had finished their adversary, she wanted to watch with fascination, the aftermath of the struggle, the way the other creatures of the wild reacted.. knowledge, the word came resounding in her like profound note of a finely-tuned organ. Knowledge was important - not just here, now - for that was only common sense - but it had been very important to her before, of all things there could be.

Shaking her head, she coughed again, the taste of the sand still having not yet left her tongue. Then one of her companions spoke - the man. Approaching him, casting only a sideways glance at the girl who had strolled to the water, she answered. "I do not remember anything. A.. blackness, nothing more," she tells him with a sigh, trailing her fingers across the implant as she held her hand in front of her eyes, peering at it with cautious curiousity, gasping at the incoming shock. ".. do you?" she asks, staring at him - as unlikely as it would be for a positive answer, the man only mentioned his lack of memory regarding his arrival here, and not anything else. There may be a sliver of a chance that her own total amnesia was an oddity in this group. She took a deep breath, the pristine air filling her lungs with some amount of amenity, as she tried to peer at the man's eyes and eyes only, but failing and adverting her gaze to his lower nude form.

[RavenLord]

The man with no memories smiled as one of the strangers, the brown haired beauty, approached him. While the negative answer she gave him was unhelpful, it was not unexpected. His shoulder slumped as he lout a sigh, things were only getting more complicated. As to prove his thoughts rights, it was then she brought his attention to another fact, namely the devices embedded under their wrists. He watched as she trailed her fingers over the device embedded in her own wrist before checking his own wrists, only to find a similar device buried into his flesh, under one of his own wrists. He couldn't fathom or guess the reason those devices served, yet all of the people around him seemed to have one in the same location and the way those were fused into their bodies were concerning. Then the woman spoke, bringing his attention back onto herself. She asked the same question as he did, trying to grasp onto slight glimmer of hope. He felt like both of them new the answer but he voiced it nonetheless.

"Sorry to disappoint, but i don't remember anything either."

He remained silent for few seconds, allowing that fact to sink in before he voiced another question.

"So, what should i call you?"

[berserkerhorn]

Skylark wakes up on the beach. with waves washing on the lower half of her body. It seemed she had washed up on shore like the rest of them. Her immediate first reaction is to open her eyes and not let the night go on too long lest she wanted to be consumed. That was the least she knew from growing up in the tribal lands. Her muscle memory of waking up with a start kicks in and she immediately takes in her surroundings ready to fight. She jumps up and looks around and sees the 6 around her with similar confusion as to how they got there. "Good... at least I'm not the only one" she says lowering her stance to seem more peaceful lest they thought that she was the enemy.

It seems she missed the entire T-Rex fight and got here just in time for the mass confusion going around like wildfire. She notes the giant creature across the lake and guesses what had happened based upon the bite marks and the scratches. Scratches... She notes that Skye was scratching at her wrist earlier and looks down at hers only to find this weird thing embedded in her arm. She taps at the thing on her arm hoping that it wasn't embedded to far in only to find that it was actually surgically placed in there. "Any idea what this is?" she asks raising her arm showing the thing embedded in it.

[An Ying Hu]

A nod came from her as reply to the man's expected words - it seems that their total loss of personal memories was an intended ordeal, but for what purpose? The man's following question was first received with a habitual calmness as she responded, "I'm.."

But then she stopped, a frown twisting her brows at the realization that she did not know the answer. A shiver bothered her chest. His question was a reasonable one - what was a name? A word or a series of words. They only barely defined when they were given by others, but here she had the chance to name herself. Trying once more to dive into her mind for an answer, her forehead throbbed with a light pain as she grabbed hold of it with the index and thumb of the hand that was free from the implant. Three letters came to the surface - plucked from who knew where in the depths of the psyche. Something or someone that had once been relevant to her.

"Eve," the sounds flow from her lips all too quickly afterwards. That will be her name. "My name is Eve."

She turned around to focus her attention on the amazon hermaphrodite, who's voice protruded from the silent crowd. "It's best not to tamper with it until we have a chance to examine it closer. For all we know, it could kill us," she answers, finding herself looking at the other's form as well, blushing a bit at the passive enjoyment of being surrounded by nude and attractive men, women and in-between. She found a light tickle springing between her legs, but this only made her more conscious of her own nudity, however, as she wrapped her arms around her ample chest again, squeezing it tight, then turning back to the man. "We should get our bearings, then find shelter somewhere. This beach exposes us," she mutters, looking around uneasily.

[RavenLord]

"Nice to meet you, Eve." man replied.

He now had a name to call her by, a word that meant her. Yet at the same time, man realized that he didn't have such a word for himself. It was startling, to suddenly realize you had no name of your own. It caused him to think. What would you choose if you had a chance to name yourself. Man found that answering that question was lot harder when one didn't possess their full memories. Man understood that his name had to be distinct and special. A word made of other words wouldn't do. In the end he settled down for a simple and short word. A word to call his own.

With his mind made up he switched his attention back to Eve only to find her conversing with another wo- that was not a woman. He knew that normal women do not possess male genitalia. It looked weird, seeing such an organ on a voluptuous female body. A fact he pushed aside as Eve turned to address him once more. He noticed her change in behaviour as she started to act more self conscious. He saw the redness of her cheeks and wondered why it was so. Eve's voice brought him out of his musings. He agreed with her suggestion but also found himself mindful of the dangers and risks, and told her so.

"Indeed, though to do so would mean we have to go into the forest where the giant murder lizards are."

"By the way, call me Karn." He added as an afterthought, speaking his new chosen name for the first time.

[Meep Meepersons]

Agora awoke with a start, getting to her feet with force, instinctively raising her fists at the sounds of roaring and battle resounded in the distance. Upon looking towards the source of the sounds, she bore witness to a grand spectacle, two massive lizards locked in a war of supremacy. The battle lasted a while and took place across the lagoon before her and the various nude strangers that seemed to be in the same situation as her. As the battle came to it's conclusion, nature seemed to roll in and clean up some of the mess, scavangers and lesser carnivores began to pick from the corpse after the victor had it's fill, the black scaled menace retreating into it's firmly established territory. "That was, interesting...." Unlike the others, she wasn't so openly bothered by her lack of memories, for some reason she got the feeling she didn't want to remember. As she watched the other converse she began to size the other's up. "I don't think we should leave this beach right now. As you can see from the corpse of that beast over there...." She paused, pointing over the lagoon, holding her hand up until she had at least some of the other's attention. "Those giant ones aren't the only meat eating things out there." She says firmly and factually. "Something tells me we should gather up some food first, maybe some rocks and sticks." She says calmly before placing her hands on her hips and turning wholely to face the T-rex corpse. "Besides, I wont that things teeth!" She exclaims, smirking at the corpse as the flesh is slowly picked away from the massive beasts bones. Her smirks turns to a smile and she turns to the group. "Lets stay here on the beach for a while, I want to learn how to survive in this place before I start trying to explore it." She says with confidence smiling lightly as she eyes the group for reactions.

[berserkerhorn]

Skylark looks around and walks towards them. "Stick as a group. The big dinosaur didn't mess with... those" she says pointing at the packs of smaller Carnivores picking at the remains of the corpse "Maybe for a good reason too." she says. Her amazon instincts tell her to mimic nature.

"We'll need a place to hold them around" she says noting that the plan was sound if only they had something to carry their things with. She begins picking up rocks on the beach managing to grab onto two and a stick on the other before her hands were full. "Dont think these'll be enough take down a dinosaur do you?" she asks chuckling.

[lilbooth]

A woman wth disheveled brown hair and a small frame groaned as she was pulled from unconsciousness. She filled and emptied her lungs a few times before she rolled over to her back. She was slim but looked nourished and refreshed. She had strong legs and wide hips. On her face was a mixture of wonder and indifference, perhaps some caution. She laid there, basking in the warm sun, half covered in sand. She listened carefully to the conversation around her and the shifting movements of the other humans or humanoids... nearby. She had absolutely no idea where she was, or who these people were, let alone who she was, but the sand, the warmth, and the calm water clear the worries from her mind. For a few moments, nothing pierced through the tranquility, then there was that chilling roar.

A shiver ran up her spine as she jolted up towards the disturbance. Her eyes were met with two massive creatures locked in combat. Their force and speed were marvelous and terrifying. She watched as one eventually overtook the other and wrestled it to the ground. They looked close enough to be related, about the same size and structure, varied colors, long tails. They behaved very similarly in battle, so similarly in fact, that it was difficult to determine why either had the upper hand.

As the carnage began to die down, and the victor sampled his prize, she rose to her feet. After brushing off whatever sand clung to her backside, she strode over to the others that had begun conversating. "I say we try to find some water before shelter... But the jungle with the big lizards is still our best bet." She said in a high pitched but slightly hoarse voice. "I'm uhh... Katie by the way. And before you go suspecting, no I can't remember much of anything either." She said as she scratched her head absentmindedly.

[RavenLord]

Man turned to other two not-woman who joined the conversation. He noticed something as he did. He was the only man in the group. Pushing those facts to the back of mind he focused on what was being spoken. He didn't agree with red haired one's assessment of the beach being a safe place, at least not for the long term. It was simply too exposed. Hot and cold were just as deadly as the animals, not to mention their current location could be reached by any animal that knows how to swim. It was clear to him that staying on the beach was not an option.

"While this place is safe at the moment i fear it would not stay so in the future. Not to mention we are completely exposed to the elements here. We need some place that can give us shelter from both the weather and other predators. While sticking as a group should give us some measure of protection, i don't think it would stop bigger beasts from attacking us."

When the option of gathering things were proposed he nodded in agreement. They needed to gather some food and also found a clear water source. When the red haired not-woman spoke her desire for the teeth of the fallen dinosaur he could not help but chuckle.

"While i too would like scavenge the corpse of the fallen dinosaur, that would mean facing off against other scavengers which is a risk proposition without any weapons to defend ourselves. And simply waiting for them to be done with the body would take too long and leave behind very little."

It was then the other shemale returned to conversation, carrying rocks and sticks. Man raised an eyebrow at her before shaking his head softly. Their priorities were shelter, food and water. Rocks and sticks would do little good to them at this point. His sentiments were echoed by another, a brown haired woman that was shorter than Eve with rounder features and a disheveled hair. Man gave a nod at her words before engraving her name to his memory as well.

"I agree with Katie here. Though i stress that we shouldn't stray too deep into forest and instead stick to the edges. While our numbers would deter the most creatures, i doubt it would be enough to stop bigger ones from attacking us."

[berserkerhorn]

" bigger ones require stealth. I agree with karn. Just don't stick too close to that. Don't know what lurks behind each tree"skylark asks acknowledging the fact that the trees would indeed give the dinosaurs enough cover to ambush them. "I mean... If they can see us, we can see them... There's no way of a sneak attack." Skylark says tossing the rocks to the bushes further away from the beach To see if anything comes out with the sudden agitation. "Besides, don't know what's up there either" she says pointing towards the tops of the trees

"I think we should keep a look out on that in a dew says" she says pointing towards the rex

[MelissaB]

As you all gather and talk, chatting about what to do you're still left in wonder regarding your surroundings and where you find yourself, the air is rich, invigoratingly so. The smell of salt breeze washing against you from the seas surrounding you and the fish large and fruitful close enough to be seen eat and pick at the smaller ones devouring anything they see from bits of dead flesh to smaller fish or plant life, not choosy in their diet. The fish themselves are lobe-finned, with rounded heads and eight fins, seemingly harmless against you as they swim hunt for food. roughly the size of your arm though you can see one bigger one, easily the size of Karn's leg slowly swim around in the waters of the lagoon. The colors of their scales rich and vibrant shifting from blues and silvers to blacks and browns.

The air is much different the beasts are shifting and landing on the other side to come down and pick at the scraps of the fallen Rex. each taking a turn to dine on the large meal, the creatures seem to be forming a fragile truce as they take a plenty from the bountiful feast. It's slow but you can see the animals slowly working as meat is stripped from the carcass, whatever is left by one is devoured by another, all get a fill and likely will be back to dine again once their hunger returns.

Among you back where you found yourselves you notice a guttural sound from beneath, a small stout reptile roughly two feet long on four legs walking among the bushes picking at the berries with it's short beak as it travels among the bushes. The reptile in question is a greenish grey in color with tough scales covering it's body, it seems to ignore you all for the most part only sniffing to see if you held food before moving onward to forage for it's own, the small creature slow but very quiet as it moves along the beach, it's claws giving it grip though you doubt they'd be it's best defensive feature.

It's only with this wandering creature you start to notice you're not actually alone, creatures are forming around, still giving you a berth as if mistrusting you but clearly nearby, something only possible to describe as a giant turtle with jagged spikes on it's shell and a foot long neck, lumbering about the shores picking from food hanging from trees and bushes. Small stout fat bodied birds picking at berries on the beach, moving in groups of two to five eating their fill, safe from most predators this side of the lagoon, the soft feathered creatures that are clearly birds fail of flight if their wings are anything to go by but the almost cheery sounding chirps can feel soothing if not irritating after the 100th time, their feathers the colors of pink, white and brown waddling away from the first sign of danger at a pathetic speed.

[Meep Meepersons]

Agora sighed and looked around as everyone seemed to have different opinions on how to go about things, granted none of them knew much of anything, and some of them didn't even seem to remember their own name. She watched them talk and talk and talk but not really do anything. Deciding for now to ignore the other's she began to take in the breath taking scenery, observing the various critters roaming about, the colorful harmless looking fish, the various scavangers not attacking eachother as they feast on the T-rex corpse, and even the flightless birds waddling about on the beach gathering berries. Feeling a bit peckish, she decides to pick up the largest palmable stone she could find and wander towards the lizard scurrying about and feasting on berries, her first prey. As she walked, she made a point to brush shoulders with the only male in the group, her large seven foot frame dwarfing many of those in the group. "Why don't you do something useful, Karn?" She says with bite in her tone, as if she was trying to provoke the man. With that she walked passed him and cocked her arm back. "Eat rock you stupid lizard!" She exclaims with a grunt as the piece of stone flies from her hand in the direction of the lizard, hopefully scoring a solid blow to it's head. IF she could knock it out, she could do whatever she wanted with it. "Hit it!"

[lilbooth]

Katie nodded along as each of the others proposed their ideas. She knew that water had to come first and she was willing to bet that all that vegetation of the jungle didn't survive on rain water alone. She was about to back up Karn when the grumbling of a nearby creature caught her attention. It startled her no doubt, but it also triggered her curiosity. She slowly glanced around the group to make sure no one was making direct eye contact with her as she stepped back from the strange misshapen circle they had formed. She took a few long steps until she was closer to the small thickly scaled reptile. She watched the way it moved and tried to determine what kind of food it was after. The reptile's behavior might be able to allow her to determine what berries were safe to eat and which were not. If the creature showed no discrimination in its food of choice, Katie would try to scan for one of the berry bushes or shrubs nearby. The creature seemed indifferent in regards to the group's presence but that might change when directly confronted. If Katie managed to find a bush she would sit down in front of it and pick a few berries. As she found a promising trove of berries nearby she heard one of the tall and well-endowed women shout and hurl a rock at the lizard. Disappointment rushed to her face as her peaceful subject of observation was attacked. She wanted to shout in opposition but for fear of the next rock being aimed at her she held her tongue. With nothing nearby to offer her berries to, other than the skittish birds that she doubted she could approach, she looked for a large leaf of a frond or fern that would allow her to hold much more than a handful of berries. She still needed a subject to test them on, but she could wait for another lizard to come around, or so she hoped. She didn't plan on spending too much gathering, most likely however long the over-aggressive women spent attacking that poor little creature. If she managed to pick a bush clean in the time it took them to deal with the lizard, she might look around for a bit more sturdy vegetation that she could use to make a pouch or sack of some kind. Anything that would allow her to keep her hands free and store materials on her person.

[An Ying Hu]

Eve cast an incredulous look towards the muscular herm, as if hoping that the other was not serious in what she was saying, but apparently she was. Opening her mouth to counter the herm, but having no chance to do so as Karn went ahead, saying pretty much what she was going to, so she remained quiet instead, only offering the man a nod and an assuring smile. She did not stand in his defense openly as the herm challenged him, but then walking over to him and placing a hand on his shoulder lightly. "Don't let yourself get provoked - it's the worst thing that could happen to our group," she whispers, withdrawing her arm to cover herself again, her attention being drawn by the life within the sea. Walking over to the border where sand crossed into water, she bent down to examine the beigns closer, uncaring about her nudity at the moment. "At least we know these waters have fish.. that's a source of food devoid of danger. Making a simple wood spear would be easy enough, and a speedy hand can impale one with it.. but that would scare the others away, and we need more," she shook her head, rising with a sigh. "We need a rod, and bait. I could try to get some worms from the jungle, they probably exist," she said, turning back around, cringing a bit as the herm shouted two times needlessly, at a reptile that likely did not understand her, but the noise could drive more creatures in their already exposed direction.

"So the deep words were too dangerous, the beach too exposed," she thought, gathering up what the others said with a nod to each one, "Edge of the forest is our best bet - close enough to the sea for fishing, but concealed behind foliage so as not to attract attention. We should look for a hollowed-out tree, or make a lean-to shelter barring that, from.." she frowned, cursing her loss of memory. ".. plants and sticks," she sighs, those words far too generic, something told her that she must have known much more than that. "Organize an expedition to find drinking water.." a river, ideally, but they could make do with less. If not, they had to find a way to store rainwater, and that could take a while.. it did rain in this place, didn't it? Everything around her told her 'yes', but who knew in such an alien landscape.

Eve looked towards Karn, the amazon and the girl close to the water, trying to assess their reaction. "And don't forget that we have an enemy greater than wild reptiles," she held her wrist as if to emphasize. "Whoever did this was more like us than like them. Mark my words - someone or something is watching us," she utters the last words grimly, her tone as low as it usually was but with an unusual tinge of adversity, the idea returning her to the fear and confusion she had originally felt when she had awakened. She found herself staring towards the sky and sun, its rays somehow cold, in her mind if not her body, the orb staring at her back like a watching eye. Or so she felt. She hated when anyone else had power over her. She would resist.

[BlueLight]

The fox had been quiet during this entire time looking uncomfortable. Her ears bent down, staying very close to her head as if trying to be less noticeable as every other part of her body show signs of stress, awkwardness, and a deep desire to hide form the situation and group. This of course was not duelable, or reasonable. If not the group's survival, then her own required that she participate. The obvious 3 thing they needed for survival was shelter, water, and food in that order. On a side note, the fox does feel a little jealous of Kate. The way she seems to be confident, and assured who she was.

"Any shelter we find should have a source of water close is not right next to. Anything else should be considered temporary. A source of food should also be near but is less of a priority and can be farther away. We don't want to trek litters of water to camp, or requiring us to find a method to do so; nor do we want to travel long distances to get a clean supply of water. Bringing game to camp shouldn't be to hard." she said with her ears perking up like they normally would if she wasn't unconformable.

"But we should always travel as a group, keep _{mind full of land marks, and return here if we get separated.}" she said, lightly tugging at the males arm and tilting her head towards the a direction of the beach while becoming self conscious again, half way through her sentence. She picked the males since he was one of three that looked like he could protect her if things got dicey. "We're go explore for long term?" she says

[RavenLord]

He didn't expect such hostility from the red haired not-woman and her impulsive actions made little sense to the man. He found her provocations pointless and didn't respond, a decision he found to be supported by Eve as he felt her hand on his shoulder in an attempt to calm him. He was a bit startled by the physical contact but got used to sensation fast and found that he appreciated the gesture and the fact that she cared which he let her know with a nod. Still, he found that red haired not-woman was right on one thing, they needed to act. He just needed the make sure that their efforts weren't pointless or in vain.

He listened to Eve, finding that she shared similar priorities with him. The concern she raised about being watched also made sense though he couldn't afford to care much about it with much more pressing concerns. It was then the sandy blonde girl decided to speak up for the first time. He noticed that she had fox ears and a tail which he knew was not the norm for human females. Like Eve, she also raised some solid points along with reiterating few things he and Eve had said earlier. When she tugged at her arm, he found that his discomfort about physical contact had vanished. He had pegged the blonde as a shy and timid person from the way she acted which was surprising as it was her who choose to initiate physical contact. He waited until she had spoken her piece before he addressed everybody still listening.

"I think food situation is the easiest the solve right now. We have an easily accessible source of meat that a lot of us seems to be ignoring." He pointed to the chicken like birds. "These small bird like animals look slow enough to be caught by hand and weak enough that they pose no threat. One or two of us with good reflexes should be able to catch enough to feed the whole group. Meanwhile rest of us can explore the area around us, get a lay of the land, look for water sources and possible shelters. We can also gather sticks and stones for a fire on our way back. My intention is to join the exploration party which leaves the question, who will join me and who will remain behind to catch and prepare food?"

The fox took a micro step closer to the male. She wasn't next to him but was signally she'd join. Maybe taking care of dinner was best place for her, at least if her self feeling of fragility was to be believed. In a fight she didn't think she'd be much help as anything but a distraction. The next bit of advice she was about to say just proved this might be the best job for her. "Whoever stays behind will likely have to kill the bird one by one unless they can cage them somehow. If one person holds the bird down against a rock, and another takes a heavy rock to their skull, it should be a quick and painless death for the creature. It will just look gruesome." Taking a look at the birds again, she continued "but if the head is to hard of a target, then striking the neck should do, just make sure it's a good hit either method." she said, intentionally leaving out that this would likely cause the creature to suffer. It was survival of the fittest and she did not want to starve because someone had a conscious. That might not be the word that popped in her head, but that was the idea at least. "If we want to temporary cage the beast, we could try to place sticks in to the ground vertically, in close proximity to each-other in a closed loop pattern. Each stick but be as tall if not taller than the bird. If the sticks are not perfectly vertical, then they should point in side the loop rather than out side. But i don't pretend to know if this would work." With that, she said her piece and planned to go on the expedition, unless someone tried to stop her. It seemed like Agora purely by current actions was staying behind, requiring another defacto member of this pseudo tribe to stay with her.
