Jungle exploring!

[awesome_momo]

Eiji ~ ! Let's go explore the jungle together! I need to disarm some traps laid down by a certain island-man. I mean, we haven't done anything in a while, so let's have some fun. We can climb trees, too! There's lots of trees.

And vines. Let's swing like Tarzan. Has anyone tried that yet?Oh, and who is going to watch the solar eclipse? I will!

I would love to come watch the eclipse (:

Ahh, Hiyoshi told me to be careful of the jungle, not to walk too far into it. He wouldn't tell me why though. But if he's warning me about something I think he might have a good reason to?

You be careful though! Especially if you're planning on swinging on vines; you might not be able to tell very well if they are secure or strong enough!

[awesome_momo]

Yeah, we should all gather together on the beach, I'm sure that's the best spot to get a good view of the eclipse.

Do you know Kite? Big man, looks like a yakuza, dresses in purple, eats other people, and lives in a treehouse. Well, apparently he's laid out traps for animals around the place, and any of us could very well walk into those, so I'm going to disarm them, they're a safety hazard.

Aww, don't worry Ootori; I'll check to see if it can support my weight before I swing. It'd be fun though, I haven't had some crazy fun in a while.

I know of Kite-san from Hiyoshi, but I'm not too familiar with him besides what Hiyoshi tells me, which isn't a lot either way. Will you not be undoing his work then...? Perhaps if he sections off a part of the jungle to hunt and leave the other half for those who want to explore that would accommodate both interests.

So long as you all stay safe (: Swinging is fun and all, until you slip and fall, and the ground isn't the smoothest place to be landing on over here.

When I asked him to put up warning signs for the traps, he said this: "Because I don't feel like putting them up. If idiots can't use their eyes and use their heads as something other than a hat rack, that's not my problem."

Sooooo yeah. I'm gonna go disarm them. It's dangerous if they're left alone, and someone walks into it not suspecting it at all.

Then I'll just swing over a river! If there is one ... I haven't found one yet.

...Charming. Well, he might not have been purposely callous? I'm sure if we go back and talk to him about it again, he'll see that not everyone has the experience of locating and avoiding traps. In either case, do you know what to look for? Something that catches wild animals might also do harm against a person, suspecting it or not ):

If there's animals living in the area, then there has to be a water source, I think.

[awesome_momo]

You're free to persuade him, I don't seem to be very good at it. Though he doesn't seem to want to do anything to accommodate our arrival (he's very anti-social). Ah well, I'd rather I fall into traps, than other people. I'll be alright! As long as they're not bear traps.

Definitely! Maybe I'll find it when I trek through the jungle. Maybe it doesn't smell like Inui juice.

[soundpost]

I'll give it a try~ I know some people like that too, the anti-socials. I wouldn't want you to fall in the traps in our stead though. What makes you so confident you're invulnerable? Just... poke around with a long stick or something similar, would that work? I actually have no idea about traps, which is why I think I'll be staying clear of the place completely.

Haha! The odor would make it easier to find, that's for sure. But useless for our purposes then, huh?

[awesome_momo]

If you think you can do it, then sure, go ahead. He's very gruff though, be careful of him.

Even if I fall into a trap, I've got Eiji with me to get me out! And we'll be reeaaally careful. And yes, do stay away from the place; right now it's definitely not safe.

Haha, yeah, I don't want to find water that way! I'll bring a few empty bottles with me, so I can scoop up some water if I find some.

[soundpost]

Words only hurt if you allow them to. It'll be okay~

Ah! So they're just pitfall traps and snares? And here I was thinking of those kinds with metal jaws that spring up and instantly kill an animal instead of just capturing them. But I've probably just been watching too many movies, haha.

Good luck on that expedition! A fresh water supply would be greatly appreciated by everyone here (:

[awesome_momo]

Oh, I meant, be careful of him physically! He's big, and he's in the military, and doesn't seem to like us ... so yeah. Be careful.

I wouldn't rule them out. I think it's mostly snares and stuff, but still, you wouldn't want to walk into them and be hung upside down. Yes, they don't kill, they trap, hence 'traps' haha.

No kidding, I'm just about to throw up all that coconut milk and fruit punch Fuji made.

[soundpost]

I won't give him any reason to hurt me, then there's nothing to worry about.

Haha, I've only ever seen hanging traps in that one Star Wars movie Shishido-san liked to watch, but I realize how awful that might be, especially not knowing when someone would come along and find you if you can't reach up and free yourself.

Has it gone bad already? Drunk fresh, I didn't think it would be a problem.

[awesome_momo]

Good luck then! Try and convince him before I venture out with Eiji ~

I've already experienced that kind of horror back in the U-17 camp; it's not fun, I tell yah. All the blood starts rushing to your head ... not fun.

It's not bad, it's just making my stomach upset. The fruit punch is the worst offender, maybe Inui did something funny with it.

[soundpost]

Sure think (:

Haha... If I hadn't had Shishido-san and Hiyoshi tell me all about it, I would have thought you guys were off camping while we were training in the facility, with all that talk of hanging and mountain climbing. Such survival skills would be useful here though, right?

If it's upsetting your stomach, there's a good chance that it might have gone bad. I'll put my bet on the strong afternoon sun over the possibility that someone's added something extra to the juice though.

[awesome_momo]

It was crazy! Making us do stupid things like running around with balloons popping out of asses, or sleeping in a cave, or climbing a mountain while my hands were not in the state of being used. It was real crazy, you're lucky you didn't have to be there, haha.

After all these years, I still have no idea why we did all that. I already knew how to camp though, so I learned more from my camping trips to the mountain than the U-17 camp - that was just a military boot camp.

I guess so; I really should start looking for real water. I just want to get home already and drink some nice fuzzy coke! But hmm, maybe you're right, I wouldn't put it past Inui or a bunch of other people.

[[ooc: ...Hey, yeah, that totally says 'thing' instead of 'think' :x Apparently if the word's not underlined in red I don't catch stupid mistakes like that, ever.]]

It was supposed to be training though, right? Just... unconventional methods? I mean, coaches are supposed to know what they're doing or else they'd have been fired. Not that I would have wanted to trade spots, of course. But which side we ended up on wasn't up to luck~ ;)

Did you used to go on family camping trips a lot? Haha, talking like that will make me start missing home comforts as well~ I'm not at all used to having to live outside for so long.

Inui-san sounds like a good person though. He, or anyone else, wouldn't tamper with our liquid supply, would they? There would be no meaning to it.

[awesome_momo]

(OOC: hah, we all make typos, I understood what you meant XD)

It was a drunk old man telling us to dig holes in the ground, just so he could take a piss in it. We barely really had any tennis training ... I mean sure, general training to keep your body fit is a good idea - but everyone does that already. Using childish methods like that is just crazy.

How was your side at the camp? Bet you had nice cooked food all day long, and slept in cozy warm beds ... I'm jealous.

Yup! Mostly with my uncle though, he's the camping freak, and I'd tag along a lot of the times. So I know how to make campfires, set up your own tent, know to stay away from berries, and other camping stuff.

But trust me, I'll take a real toilet over having to do it in the bushes any day. I like camping, but only when I choose to do it, not when I'm stranded and being forced. Blegh. You seem to be doing fine though!

Inui likes to make mixes with drinks ... he'd be the first one I'd go to for tampering with drinks. Or maybe someone who hates me, hmm.
