Day 3 | ITT: foreveralone.jpg

[soreplaceable]

[Ion wasn't sure how it happened, but somewhere along the line he took a wrong turn. He was still out of sorts from his injury the day before and with every corner of this jungle looking like every other corner, it wasn't that difficult to get all turned around. Which way did everyone else go? It wasn't safe to walk around here by himself. He had to hurry and get back...!]

[And that was when he fell in another pit trap. Son of a...!]

[Okay, calm. He had to stay calm. The top of the trap was still mostly covered, so hopefully no predators or third party members would think to look down here... unfortunately, neither would any villagers. And the walls were much too high for him to try and climb out, especially when he still felt so weak. He sat there for one hour... then two... and it wasn't until almost three hours passed that he heard the sound of something approaching the mouth of the pit overhead.]

[He wants to call out to them; it might be someone who could help him... but if whoever it was wasn't friendly, he'd have no way to

[my_yoke_broke]

[for another thing]

[my_yoke_broke]

[PANIC]

[and by panic we mean scooping Ion up bridal style and scurrying backwards into the furthest side of this hellhole.]

S-S-S-SNAKE-IS IT POISONOUS?!

[can I embrace you in terror? because I am]

[soreplaceable]

[You know, that probably wasn't the best idea. The snake had clearly been agitated before them and this really only served to make it upset. It slithers around on the ground where they had been previously standing, probably wondering how it'll get out now.]

[It isn't bothering the two of them now, but...]

I-I'm not sure. [And that scream did little to help, really. His head was pounding now.] Perhaps if we leave it alone, it... won't bother us?

[my_yoke_broke]

[... w-whimper]

Well... should we just-just sit here...?

[soreplaceable]

I don't think it would be a good idea to stay here for long... [Not when there's a mothertruckin' snake in there with them.]

[He glances up at the roof of the pit again. Pulling the snake down caused a few more vines (and these ones are obviously vines) to tumble down a bit further. They didn't seem to be very sturdy on their own, but perhaps if they were all connected from the same source...]

Say, Ian...

[...]

[He's still holding Ion bridal-style and clinging to him, isn't he.]

...could you please put me down?

[my_yoke_broke]

Huh?

OH! [A-ahaha, he puts the boy down and brushes off his shoulder.] R-right.

[soreplaceable]

[He sways just a bit upon being set on his own feet, trying to blink away the dizziness caused by being pulled away so suddenly like that.]

Th-thank you... [Looking back up at the vines again.] We could try using those vines again? Those ones have leaves, so they should be real vines this time...

[Unless it's some kind of mutant snake, but then they'd just be doomed.]

[my_yoke_broke]

A-as long as you're sure they aren't more snakes, I'm fine with that!

[.... eyeballs that snake fearfully...

and inches behind Ion a teeny bit.]

[soreplaceable]

[He notices Ian cowering behind him, also taking note of the snake as it starts trying to make its way up the edge of the pit. It isn't having much success. And it isn't very happy about it...] The sooner we can get out of here, the sooner we'll be away from it.

Can you give me another boost?

[my_yoke_broke]

[OKAY, IAN, MAN UP.

He crouches down, so that Ion can give those vines a reach when he lifts him up.]

I'm ready!!!

[soreplaceable]

[And Ion's getting up on his shoulders again!]

[...the snake is eyeing them. They should probably hurry along now before it gets hungry or something ok it's not that big.]

[my_yoke_broke]

[CRY SOB HIC

LMAO NO I'M NOT THAT BIG OF A SISSY BUT STILL]

G-got it??

green-haired people unite! 1/3

[WANDERIN'

Look, it's a hard life being a girl who gets lost often. She's keeping a close grip on the things she was given to help her with the draft as she looks around her for the way back.

This means she's not looking at the ground.]
