Manan stood up, wiping leftover grass off of his pants. He sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. Out of everyone he could have gotten stuck with, why did it have to be these people? They've been here for less than an hour now and are already arguing.

"Okay," he said in a bright tone. "So, if we aren't going to explore, we still need to figure out a few things. One, if there is are others around in a city or something. Two, where we are going to stay once it gets dark; we can't stay here forever. Eventually, we'll have to move for food or shelter. Three, if there is any way to get back."

He pondered it all a bit more, trying to find a plausible solution. "Perhaps… is there any way we could send up a signal?"

“Nah, nah, I agree with- uh..?” Sid looked Manan up and down, gesturing vaguely to him. “This guy. Dunno his name. It wouldn’t kill us to try and find somewhere safe for the night, even if it’s not a town or whatever. We can Survivor this shit’n make some weird-ass hut if we gotta.”

Sid’s ears perked up at Manan’s question. “Like a fire? I got a couple lighters in my pocket if we need ‘em.”

He raised an eyebrow at the stupidity. "well if we're gonna light a fire, obviously we'll need lighters" he glared.

(my characters for if anyone needs to get mad or anything, he's the one to go to and he'll piss them off)

Sid rolled his eyes at the comment. “Obviously, Einstein. I’m not a moron. I know how to light a fire.” He snapped sharply. “If you ain’t gonna help us survive out here, get fuckin’ lost.”

"Oh, I'm Manan," he said absentmindedly, running a hand through his hair. "We might need to move somewhere else if we're lighting a fire though, since we're in a meadow after all."

"That's probably the best idea," Cress agreed. "And one of us should probably climb a tree. To see if there's any place we could stay the night." She shrugged. "And I go by Cress."

“The name’s Sid. And yea, I agree with both’a y’all. I can try to get up the trees, if you want.” Sid sniffed, still working on rubbing the dried blood off of his nose and face. “What kinda place are we lookin’ for? For the fire, I mean. Somewhere rocky- if that’s even here?”

"Or at least somewhere with no plants or anything." Cressida shrugged. "I don't want to have to dig a hole just to maybe start a fire, or at least try. It will just be wasting strength we might need later. "

“Guesso.” Sid shrugged. He bit his nails as his sunken, tired eyes studied the surrounding area. “That tree over there.. y’all think it’s tall enough to see around this bitch? I think I can scale it no problem, but I’m just wonderin’ if that’s the best spot.”

"I think it might work." Cressida frowned, chewing on her lip in thought. She pointed. "Now, all the trees look super tall to me, being the midget that I am, but that tree looks the tallest." It was a few trees past the one Sid had first asked about.
