Survival Of The Fittest

When Donovan dragged Jenny out, she wasn't expecting him to not come back in.

"Go? Now?" Jenny asked him. She wanted to complain at first. After all, they just got here, and they just met two new people, but the look on Donovan's eyes told her that he knew something, or at least, that he had a bad feeling. Jenny didn't think that meant anything, but she was wrong about Crystal, and if she was wrong about Crystal, what about two people she hadn't hung out with as much?

In a game, you trust your teammate, and right now, Donovan was her only teammate. This was going to risk a lot, but he should know that it's risking him too. She may as well trust him, just so that they have a better chance of surviving.

"...Fine. But we have to find shelter or something, Don. Can't just be sleeping under a tree every day." Jenny gripped her weapon and followed his lead.

Before Chester could ask anything else, Donovan and Jenny made their exit. He had hoped to ask them about helping out with his plan to build a fire. However, it looked like they didn’t trust Chester and Perante enough to stay and chat.

“Well dang,” said Chester, “I was gonna share my plan, but I guess they wouldn’t be interested anyway.”

Chester set his stuff down and glanced around.

“Okay,” Chester said rubbing his hands together, “Let’s see if we can find something to burn.”

"Donovan said that they've only seen liars and thieves..." He muttered. "And if he saw someone die, I don't completely blame them."

He put his hands on his hips and relaxed a little, only realizing now that he was rather tense the entire time.

"But like, everyone's just scared ya know? If we just like, show everyone that we're not a threat then they'll calm down. It's not like everyone would rather go through the game than find an alternative method of living. I'm sure they'll fold at some point."

He nodded his head.

"Right. Let's not waste any time, eh?"
