There was a solid five foot drop into the water from the bridge and the edges on both sides. However dropping down into one of the corners of the pond proved successful and Marston found himself only up to his waste in water, opposed to over his head. Drawing out his hunting knife Marston would wait. The waters quickly calmed from his entry and within moments fat, dark shapes began to swim towards him. Cautiously they swam around him before beginning to take soft nibbles at his body. Nothing fearsome or worrying. Marston would know from experience some fish would try to eat anything and his dusty clothes had just enough color left in them to attract them. Once the fish had lost all sense of worry the cowboy would thrust his blade down, stabbing into the water with one clean moment. The fish scattered in wild panic to the other side of the pond as blood rose to the surface along with the plump corpse of a skewered fish...

After some deliberation amongst the group the motley assembly of strangers decided it was time to leave leave 2Fort. They stepped outside the confines of the town and into ‘familiar’ stretch of rolling fields most of them had wandered through to arrive in the settlement to begin with. A glance to the north brought with it both a sense of dread and a faint twinkle of optimism as, one by one, the group began to march. The largely featureless landscape around them made it rather difficult to visually see the progress they were making. What felt like only a brisk stride forward turned out to be several miles with 2Fort little more than a speck in the distance behind them before completely disappearing from sight. Continuing north with nothing but stale wind and sun beating down on their heads the group began to encounter drastic shifts in the landscape. Flat plainlands like the ones surrounding 2Fort gave way to scorching dunes where the sand had the consistency of glass. The dunes gave way to frozen, iced over tundras with winds that blew through the light clothing of the travelers. They had only been walking for a few hours but from the way the temperature, land, and light changed around them it felt like they were crossing entire continents and timezones. The sudden changes might made some of the travelers in the group sick to their stomachs, others dizzy, others still were unaffected but never the less unnerved by the drastic baseless shifts around them. Eventually however the insane patchwork landscapes of incompatible terrarians gave way to trees, warm air, and gentle sunshine. Working there way up the side of a steep slope they reached the top and found themselves in what appeared to be a forest of some kind. Tall grass, fallen tree trunks, rocky ledges, and tall climbable trees surrounded them with what appeared to be a path leading deeper into the forest to the north of them.

Hunched over with her hands on her knees the young girl struggled to catch her breath and ease her upset stomach after the distance they had walked. The change from hot desert, to frigid tundra, to mild tempered jungle had left the sides of her head pounding. Beneath the skin of her belly her empty stomach gurgled with an audible ache. "Ug[i]hhhhh[/i]...I should have...eaten something before I left." Cedar muttered to herself before looking to Quiet. Despite the hardened, un-bothered expression Quiet wore even she had felt the fatigue of their journey. The horrible cold and extreme heat had sucked a lot of the moisture from her skin. Her mouth was dry and sticky, with her tongue feeling like sand paper against the roof of her mouth. [i]"As long as the sun is shining I don't need to eat. The parasites will supply me with sugars. But I need water. If I dry out the parasites will begin dying out and if that happens I'll follow suit. Why didn't I bring some water?"[/i] Quiet shook her head in disbelief of herself. Barely a day in a new world and already she was making careless mistakes. Part of her felt the blame fell on the others, especially the [i]girl[/i], for distracting her so much. Throwing blame wouldn't get her fluids though, unless she intended to pair stabbing with her unspoken accusations. "Are you-you alright?" Quiet turned and looked to Cedar who looked back with nervous, unsure eyes that prickled with concern. The sniper simply nodded her head and looked away. Though Cedar could tell she was lying. Distracted from their bodily demands the two glanced around at the jungle that surrounded them. To their left was a fallen tree, big enough that it blocked the area behind it and would either needed to be climbed or crawled beneath. Behind the fallen tree in a little area was a proper standing tree with thick branches and wide leaves. Directly ahead of them was a large tree covered in vines with a single large branch that seemed ideal for standing on. To their right was various patches of tall grass and rocky, ledge ridden protrusion from the ground. "T-there's probably a lot of things here if we look. Maybe you can get what you need here?" Cedar gestured to the trees and the grasses which for all she knew could be hiding fruits and veggies. The silent sniper simply glanced at her with an unwelcoming frown, forcing the teen to look away. Quiet however had to admit she was right. "Foraging in a place like this might be worth wild. Though there's no telling what's ahead..."

Complete strangers to one another the four had all crossed the same rickety, make-shift bridge across a large cavernous crevice. The last one across made it just in time as the crude bridge folded and dropped into the threatening darkness below. With no way back the four would be left with one a single away forward, a narrow passage to the south. Around them was a small grassy area surrounded by thick jungle. A single large rock and a tall, leaf-less tree ([i]not tall enough to reach the other side of the crevice if felled) [/i] were the only things of particular note. The area was completely unfamiliar to all but one of the group. [color=green]Naked Snake[/color] would recognize this area as the place where he had fought Ocelot in their first proper duel... Having been focused on their travels the four would only begin to realize the others presence. It would be up to them to decide on how to act, move, and treat one another...
