The Extras Game » Places

         Three days.


That's how long Piper had before the Game started and she would kill as many participants as she could. Three days to plan, to get what she needed, and to get hidden. The get what she needed part was easy. Weaponry was scattered about the forest and she had already found a small black book bag with some water purifiers, a canteen, and a serrated knife. She could easily just walk around and pick up whatever was discarded that she could use. Then, she'd get a good idea about the layout of the arena and possibly even find the flag. Knowing where it was would not let her win, but it was a sure fire way to find a participant. That is, if she couldn't find one on her own. Piper decided that she should stop to fill up the small, empty canteen she found in the book bag. She would need water anyway. Her survival would ensure she at least got a crack at killing a participant, so she needed to make sure she had enough water and food to do just that.

Her mind was teeming with half-made plans and thoughts of where to find food when she saw a dried blood mark on a nearby tree. Someone must have clutched it for support. "Shouldn't the arena be cleaned? I mean, it's good that it wasn't, but still." She muttered to herself before stepping closer quickly to find out if she could find the direction of the person who made it. Once she decided that she couldn't get a good enough direction planned, she frowned. She would have to search the other trees. She couldn't just pass up this luck- she never had any luck. Maybe someone died around here, last time or the time before that. More importantly, maybe they left their camp or supplies around the area they died. All thoughts of water were quickly discarded as she swiftly pushed the canteen back into its slot on the side of the back pack and looked around for other marks.

When she couldn't find any other marks, she kicked the nearest tree in anger and cursed at no one in particular. This was of course what would happen. "Well that was fun while it lasted. Back to water" she muttered to herself and started walking again.
