hey hey heyyy
everyone shut up for a minute, i wanna figure out something *actually* useful!!
can everyone else see those mountains waaaaaaay off in the distance? or i guess maybe they're closer for you guys ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
whatever
if you can see them then try facing them and tell me where the sun is in relation to you
it seems like morning right now so we can probably assume that direction is east!
unless we're on some kind of alien planet lol
and i guess this can double as a roll call
jeeeez i have to do everything around here!!

[Martin rolls his eyes. It's a kid. Why is there a kid here? He doesn't want to deal with this, really.]

Sure.

Anyway, that's where I am and where I'm heading. It seems like someone woke up next to a river, which might be our best spot to find other people who might be around. I'm going to try to find that area.

[trialbyliar]

Oh? And what direction was that river, huh?

[He's no outdoor survival expert but finding even he knows that finding a source of freshwater is important if they don't wanna quickly dehydrate in this climate.]

[lonelynotforsaken]

Somewhere to the west. I'm about as east as it seems like we can get, though, so that's a pretty big expanse. If you weren't being so mean to him, the Italian man might have told you more about it, too.

[A scoff, completely remorseless.]

If he's that worked up over some shit a kid is saying then he's waaaay too sensitive.

[lonelynotforsaken]

Blaming someone for being upset when you've said something to deliberately upset them isn't fair.

[It's reminiscent of his mother's worst days, and he really doesn't want to think about that.]

But we've already gone over this.

[And the fact this child is a dickhead.]

You should keep an eye out for food while you travel along with water. I've found some sort of plum while I've been walking. It'll be good in case I can't find water for a while. You should keep an eye out for those sorts of things.

[trialbyliar]

Ok, mom.

[You can practically hear the eyeroll. Teenagers, amiright?]

[Martin rolls his eyes, in turn, and doesn't respond. He's provided the information he can for now. If something else comes up... well, he'll deal with that then.

Mom is very cranky and doesn't need this.]
