Dani

Dani was enjoying his time up in the tree away from everyone else. He could hear voices and splashing a little ways away, but he ignored it. Dani didn't really know what to do at that point. He felt bad for ditching the people in the town center who were setting up. It only made him feel worse that Jack had gone and volunteered. Dani sighed and began to hum to himself without really realizing it.

Adam

Adam returned to the person he was helping.

"I've finished hanging the lights." he said proudly.

The man nodded and looked appreciatively at his work. Adam was satisfied with himself for pleasing the man. He didn't usually care to please people, but he liked it when someone appreciated his work. He waited for the man to give him another task.

"It seems this place is nearly set up. Go on and mingle with the others." the man said.

Adam nodded and retreated to the forest. He didn't really know where to go, so he just ended up going on a peaceful stroll through the woods. The smell of the pines was calming. The sounds of water running over rock in the stream and birds singing their songs in the trees added onto the serenity. Adam took random routes, knowing he could get lost, but too curious to stop. He wanted to explore the forest a bit. As he made his way through, he heard something move behind him. He quickly spun around to see what it was. It was a cougar. Adam stared at the cougar and waited to see what it would do. This could end badly. He wasn't scared. As usual. He saw this as a challenge. The cougar took a step toward him. They didn't usually approach humans, so this one probably had rabies. That would also explain why it wasn't attacking right away. Adam cursed under his breath as he realized that he left his knife at home. He usually kept it on him every time he left the house. As he watched the cougar, he wondered why he had to come across a rabid cougar on a full moon day. What if he got bit? Adam decided that this wasn't the day to play around with the kitties. He wouldn't risk not being able to find a mate because he had a run-in with a rabid cougar.
