[Walkabout] Evening of the first day

[itsananimalthing]

Okay, kids. Don't know how many of you know shit about livin' where there's no roads or pre-packaged dinners, but this is what I've been doin' half my life. So listen up.

First thing we need is water. Found that. It's south-east from where we landed, looks like this.

[And he gives them a livestream of the brook he's found trickling out to the ocean proper. It's not like your normal livestream, in that Riddick's vision is tinged bright violet, seems to focus mostly on heat and movement, and if you can parse through both of those things, you can tell it is completely unhampered by the darkness.]

Nobody come down here yet, though. There's predators on this island, or there were last time I was here, and most of 'em are nocturnal. So stay put and stay together until dawn, much as you can. Might even be smart if we did our sleeping in liminal space, until we find some sign there's still people here.

Second thing we need is food. There's animals here we can hunt, and probably some edible fruit and shit, but we've got liminal space, too. Anybody who can make food we can actually eat, do that. I'm gonna pop into liminal space to give it a shot myself, here, in a minute.

There used to be people on this island. Used to be, it was kept protected by a force field thing. I think that's probably still there, so don't go swimmin' out too far, or you'll hit it. Nasty shit happens when you do that. Ain't seen any sign of the people yet, but that don't mean they ain't here somewhere. Think that should probably be thing number three. Findin' out where the people went to, if they're still here somewhere. Might be a good idea to start searching this place in the morning.

So don't wander off alone. [ You can almost hear the eye roll. ] If you don't have the firepower to handle whatever's out there, it can't be hard to find someone who does.

I dunno, I've had really bad luck with everything lately. I got shot last time...

[ofinspiration]

We're all here, so how good can any of our luck be?

[failgoyle]

This is the second time I've been kidnapped by insanely powerful beings with nebulous motivations and made to do strange crap; I have a special knack for getting into the absolute worst shit whether or not I want to.

Congratulations. Maybe you'll get eaten by something in the darkness after all.

[failgoyle]

I'm usually pretty at home in the darkness, at least...maybe...maybe they won't see me.

[ofinspiration]

You're betting on the possibility the nocturnal predators can't see in the dark?

[failgoyle]

...I'm betting on the fact that my magic can make me almost impossible to spot in the dark, pretty much.
