[Camellia]

Unfortunately, you're just too tired to care right now, and you fall asleep, not even noticing the man trying to get your attention. @RadioactiveSpoon


You sleep so deeply that as you sleep, a Velociraptor thinks you're a corpse and tries to take a bite out of you. Fortunately for you, your sleeping self knows Mortal Kombat, and in a series of martial arts moves you've never learned before in your life, you manage to get it to back off warily, though it's still eying you hungrily.

The raptor has +1 to all rolls to dodge you.

Click to shrink...

What.

Camellia stared at the dinosaur in front of her as she slowly backed up. What was happening.

In the corner of her eye, she noticed some guy staring at her. She started edging in his direction, not taking her eyes off of the dinosaur.

What exactly was going on here?

[Evlto]

For some reason, you get a feeling to look in a particular direction, and it doesn't take you long to stumble across something extremely useful: a hollowed-out tree filled with all sorts of primitive but no doubt effective weapons, along with what appears to be a scaly satchel filled with some kind of cured meat. From the inch of dust on the weapons, you're pretty sure nobody's gonna come after you for taking this stuff.

Now if only you knew how to use the weapons.

+1 to all foraging rolls.

Click to shrink...

I take the satchel and after trying a bit of the meat to see if it is fine, i put the sacthel on me. Then I try out the weapons to see which ones would would suit me the best. Hopefully I can find one that will feel good in my hands.

+1 to all rolls involving your baby Archaeopteryx. You may name it and assign a gender as free actions.

D'awwww...

"who's a goood girl?"
"You are!"
It strikes that I don't actually know it's gender.
eh, whatever.
I think I should find some shelter, somewhere safe.

[MrEgret]

Once you do that, you glare at a tree, willing it to bend to your will.

The bad news is, the tree doesn't do anything. The good news is, the pile of dead leaves behind it forms itself into a hut.

Startled, you let go of your mental hold, and the leaves fall down in a heap.

Click to shrink...

What.

Okay. So. My wish was almost granted, apparently. I can control dead leaves, but not the whole tree.

How bizarre.

I considered the leaves again, reevaluating my situation. I wasn't all that tired anymore, now that this had happened. Furthermore, I was in the jungle, and I was willing to bet that I wasn't alone. I would need protection, and something told me that a grassy hut wouldn't be enough. If I could refine this new ability to protect myself better...

I concentrated on the leaves, and imagined them assuming the form of a figure. A humanoid figure made out of some kind of spiritual energy linking the leaves together into one cohesive unit. A figure to stand by my side and protect me from harm...

Dammit. I knew I've heard of this somewhere, but where?

[Coshiua]

Unfortunately, nothing happens, and the mosquito continues to stare at you with its dead-looking eyes.

Click to shrink...

Coshiua felt sweat start to form around his forehead and under his nose as he stared at the mosquito and the mosquito stared back at him. He would need to do something before it decided to move -- or another unnaturally large insect decided to notice and come near him -- but he couldn't seem to find the strength to move.

'This would be a lot simpler if i had something on hand to deal with that bug....' Coshiua thought as he stared at the mosquito. 'But there's nothing i could use and its not like i can imagine it gone.'

[Uncle]

While the surrounding natives watched the stranger with caution and fear, I could not hold back my curiosity. Was he like me? From the looks of the everyone around me, no one seemed to know about him either.

On one hand, I wanted to run and greet him. He might have been the only other person from the real world here and I wouldn't be able to stand being left alone with these people. Yet at the same time I didn't want to risk antagonizing the natives.

Taking a few tentative steps towards the man, waving my hand at him. Maybe I could serve as smooth things over between everyone.

"Hey!" I called out to him. "You alright."

@I just write

 

[We Just Write]

Alright subconscious, what gives? Was the fact that I had jungle on the brain messing with my theming, or was it something else? Eh, might as well try interrogating my subconscious about this; they're probably the ones who messed it up.

Still, arguing with thin air would be pretty weird, even for a dream. I should probably conjure up some sort of character to represent them before I tried to grill them for information.

My course of action set, i began to visualize a floating spherical robot, representing all the parts of my mind that I couldn't normally access. Mentally forcing them to BE, I turned to see the robot I'd dreamed up floating in midair. Now, let's see if they can explain why they're giving me such a hard time controlling my dream.

[Whisper1]

Oh well, at least bugs would never bother me again.

I started walking. At least my jeans would protect me from any scratchy plants. But I never got to refill my bottle. Could probably use it to brain any animal that jumped out at me. Predator skull versus food-grade plastic.

I was so screwed.

It would be really nice if it magically refilled itself right now, and kept refilling whenever it was empty...

[UbeOne]

You manage to get a decent camouflage going due to some creativity on your part. This may be the age of the dinosaurs, but apparently those little burrs are still an annoying thing. It works to your advantage, though, because by sticking them to your clothing, you get a bunch of thin leaves attached to your clothes. It probably won't stand up to close inspection, but it's better than nothing.

Click to shrink...

Okay, that somehow worked.

With that, I continue walking, thoughts of getting out of here in mind. Wait, I think a good way to start would be finding a river? Civilization is usually found along a river.

And so I look for a river.

[Shard]

Unfortunately, you're near the top of a slope, and since some of your focus is on protecting your dignity, you trip on a vine and tumble down the slope, eventually ramming face-first into a tree. Somehow you're not actually injured by this, but you swear that the lizard-bird thing perched in a nearby tree is snickering at you.

+1 to all rolls to dodge falling damage.

Click to shrink...

You know what?

That bird-lizard (technically a dinosour) is dying.

Concerns about dignity left aside, I clambered up the tree it was perched on and grabbed the dinobird and then jumped to the ground, trying to break it's head onto the hardest part of the ground.

Sure there was the ground, but for some reason I'm not hurt by falling on it. Stands to reason, eh?

[pharaoh122]

Suddenly, your school uniform transforms into jeans and a white t-shirt. Still not ideal, but better than your uniform. The real question is, how the heck did they do that???


The woman turns around and blinks, surprised. "Wait, weren't you in different clothes a minute ago?"

Click to shrink...

I look down, then looked at her.

"I, uh, have no clue. I just thought of needing new clothes and they just changed."

There's something fishy going on here.

"Hang on, I want to try something."

What would give me the best protection from a dinosaur? Not a weapon I would think, maybe something to increase our mobilty... like a vehicle of some sort. An armored 4WD would work, probably, well here goes.

[backup04]

Thankfully, you remembered correctly, and managed to roll yourself out of the quicksand. You're now absolutely covered in sand, but that's something you can live with.

+1 to all future rolls to dodge quicksand.

Click to shrink...

With a sigh of relief that I've made out from the quicksand, I got up from my effective log rolling maneuver. Huzzah for rolling to safety I guess, now with the potential danger out of the clear. I take a sit right under a tree, simply thinking of how close I am rushing into danger without any thought or plan.

Taking a deep breath, I took the time to clear my panicked thoughts of being displaced in a jungle... Definately a jungle with the inclusion of the quicksand in the area or a very humid forest and loose ground. Vaguely remembering that surviving in the forest I have to listen for any signs of a river nearby, and with how there's quicksand around here. I presume there will be a nearby source of water around here that I could go along...

With that I got up from my rest and carefully try to listen to any source of river nearby while traveling along the edge of the quicksand clearing.

[RadioactiveSpoon]

Unfortunately for you, she appears to have been far too asleep to notice your faux pas. Which is good, becvause right as you wished you knew how to talk to people, information on that subject floods into your mind so quickly that you stand there for several minutes, staring into space as your brain attempts to catalog it all. Once it finishes doing so, however, social knowledge is yours to comman-

Wait what is she kung-fu fighting a Velociraptor in her sleep?!

@Camellia

+1 to all social rolls.

Click to shrink...

She doesn't look much interested in what I have to say. Darn.

Unfortunately, any second attempt I would have made is interrupted by the motherfucking VELOCIRAPTOR that showed up while I was distracted. Also, this girl is fighting it. With kung-fu. While sleeping.

Whaaaaaat the fuoh shit she's leading it over HERE.

Oh god, oh god...

Fortunately, I somehow seem to be able to speak just fine, even while panicked. Neat. "Goddamned lizard... can't you just go back to being extinct?!"

[RedV]

The caterpillar obligingly takes a bite out of the leaf. And another, and another, until it's gone.

Then it waits, staring at you. After a while, it makes a strange shrieking noise and gestures with its tail at the tree behind you. Clearly, it doesn't see you as being the one in charge.

Click to shrink...

...okay, that didn't work out as expected. Time to use the stick then. I reach behind me and feel the branch the leaf was hanging from. Its a good size, heavy but not unwieldy. The branch makes a snapping sound as I break it off and heft it over my shoulder in a threatening pose.

The worm hasn't seen humans or even dedicated predators before, so it just looks weirdly at me as I step closer. Unfortunately for it, the poison is only on ingestion of the worm. It doesn't help any as I bring my improvised baseball bat down on its tail. A weird thwacking sound happens, but no bleeding. This thing is sturdy. Still, its never been smacked before. It turns and looks at me with an aggrieved expression as I point at my stick and then to its smacked rear end, before glaring down at it. Hopefully it gets the message.
