Alys collapsed in the middle if camp, curling up in hunger. It was not as though she ate 3 meals a day at home, but there was always enough food to get by.
She had just returned from a very unsuccessful hunt. "I am so stupid. I should have trained in hunting instead of showing off my skills.... Maybe I ask the spinsters to give me an animal snare, I'm really struggling to catch anything."
She slumped down against a tree. She hated to show weakness, but the games were finally taking a toll on her. She wiped away a few hot tears, hoping no one would notice. She was the weakest member of the group, and there was no denying it.

Derrin returned from what he was doing and watched as Alys slumped onto the floor. It had been two days since Derrin had ate anything but looking at her he could not help himself.
He sat down next to her and smiled at her. “Hey Alys, I am not hungry at all and found food, your stomach could alert our location at this rate. You should take the food I found and dig in”

Quinn re-emerged from a hole he had just dug in the ground.
"Three pitfalls! Now that's a full days work!" He wiped his forehead and then he saw Alys. His face went blank.
"Oh shit. Alys, are you alright?" Quinn quickly hopped out of his hole and dashed over to Alys.
"Here, I'll use some sponsor points tomorrow. Anything can be helpful at this point. Just hang in there, alright?" He turned towards Derrin.
"Hey, do you want to scout with me tomorrow? Maybe we can find an area with more food." Quinn's stomach growled.
"Oh...I guess I haven't eaten in awhile either." He let out a little laugh. "I just get so distracted, I guess...But, I probably will need that too at some point." Quinn laughed again nervously.

Natalya looked at her rabbit. She was so hungry. She decided after she cooked it they would all have a little bit of it.
"I think we should call on a little sponsor love for some food. I think we are all getting to that point."

Derrin looked around at everyone…were they all really that hungry. Derrin saw Quinn’s reaction and laughed. He just found it funny.
Derrin looked at all of them. “Quinn, Natalya, Alys? You three are hungry right. If Dolan returns and isn’t then we have enough food for all of us. I do not need to eat. I ate two days ago before I met you all. Honestly, I just feel like using sponsor points at this time should really be held back. Think about it, almost half of us are dead which means the sponsor items are only going to get better. Soon the game makers are going to start pushing us into each other and I suspect it will be us and Millie’s group.”
Derrin looked a bit annoyed. It was not direct at them but he knew something was bound to happen. “The deaths are slowing down…which means the bastards are going to start pushing for us to kill each other. By my thinking the closest group to us is the five man team two to three areas north of us. If I was the game makers I would push us toward them to get down to ten people in these games. it's going to be their way of making the other five who are not totally comitted to an alliance to get back in this game, and also mess with our two groups.”
He shifted a bit and handed Alys his gathered portions of food. “Take the food I collected, I have a feeling we are all going to need it and need you.”

OOC: I'm not sure food works that way. I think we technically already ate all the food we caught in the prompt. If you want to give Alys food, make sure to put in your details tomorrow to give any food you find to her. Also in order to scout an area you have to move there.
Quinn looked up. "Yeah...no deaths..." He looked extremely bothered. "So...if they're planning on making us...fight them...we should...I don't know." Quinn plopped on the ground. He stared blankly at the ground and muttered to himself. Eventually he finished his sentence,
"We should move north then...I'd like to build some traps and get our defenses up before we meet them...at least...I would since...I'm kind of useless in this kind of confrontation stuff..." Quinn started tracing his finger in a patch of dirt. "Then...we could also have a place to run away to in case things get..." Quinn stopped and his eyes went blank.

Alys looked up embarrassedly. Derrin had offered her his food, even though she hasn't seen him eat since they met. Then Natalya, and Quinn offered to use sponsor points.
"Thank you, she said to the three, you're truly too kind." She turned to Quinn, "Don't waste your precious Sponsor points on me, I don't think I could ever repay yo, thank you, thank you for the gesture." She patted his shoulder.
She felt like a bit if an idiot, get age was finally showing through. They had all been so kind, she was lucky to be in their presence.
"I promise, when I get my strength up, I'll be more of an asset to this team."

OOC- Nat- I think you're good, GM added an announcement saying you only use if the GM says so. Unfortunately I didn't realize this and have been punishing myself since day 1 Alys looked up confused, "where is Dolan?"

((OOC Sorry! I was away for a day or so!))
Dolan came running back to the group holding up skinned and gutted rabbit in his hand. He hung it up next to the other rabbit he had caught and sat down to begin cleaning his dagger.
"Hey guys, sorry I was trying to get us some more food, but still only another rabbit." He looks around confusedly.
"We didn't build a fire? And sorry about my failure of a trap I was really trying to focus on food" He said exhausted
Then he noticed the grave looks on Alys and Natalya's faces.
"What's going on? Did something happen while I was gone?"

Derrin looked around and he felt like he had just issued them a death sentence. Quinn mentioned there were no deaths but Derrin corrected him. “There were two yesterday, Decimus and Talia, today if any there will be one today which means I think tomorrow the game makers will do something.”
Natalya and Alys looked pretty upset as well. Dolan came back with another rabbit which was good for the team and then asked what was wrong. Derrin looked at Dolan and said, “I made a prediction of what I would do if I was the game makers right now, and I think I put everyone’s spirits down. Look I am sorry I caused people to feel down. I just am worried about us since now two thirds of the tributes are working together in two different alliances. It just seems like it to me…”
Derrin wanted to just be cheerful and happy but now that he found a group like this he just…wanted to…keep them going. Even if his advice put everyone down, would it not make sense to at least speak about the possibilities?
“I could see the game makers after the islands sink, re arranging them so we have no idea what is around us, so we bumble into each other…that or force ones to sink faster so we have to move into other groups.”
Derrin looked at them though and simply said, “Hey but we have each other and we have a pretty good plan. We have no idea what will happen till it does. So try and stay positive. I have faith in you guys!”

Quinn laughed and looked up at Alys. "Now, I know there's this whole girl thing where you guys get all self-conscious about stuff. But, that is now allowed here, We are glad to have you here and there will be no more of that."
Then Dolan came running in and Quinn let out a big smile. "Ah, perfect!" Then his smile faded. "They're...hungry...though, you got another rabbit. So, we should be good...as long as we can get a fire." Quinn looked up with a blank look on his face. He looked deep in thought. "So first a fire...then we're moving...are we moving? Sorry, there's so much going on that I can't keep track of what we need to do...I can try and help someone build a fire. Though...I've never actually made one before."

Quinn looked at Derrin. "Oh...right...that was today...crap. I almost forgot..." Quinn put his face in his hands and moaned. He crouched down on the ground and heard Derrin apologizing. "You're fine, you're fine...It is something we need to...think about...I'm just..." Quinn wiped his face and tried to gather himself together. Though, suddenly he got up and threw a rock across the arena. "I HATE THIS PLACE!" He moaned and flopped back down onto the ground.

Alys replied "Moving north sounds good to me. Is everyone okay with going NORTH?"

Dolan nods. "North it is I guess. Someone make a fire so this food can be cooked before it goes bad, and don't forget to grab some water for the bottles too." Dolan began collects his things and places his knife in it's sheath.
