Floyd laughed sharply and nudged Matt’s ribs with his boot. “Damn, you’re easy.” Out Of habit, he looked down at his watch, but then remembered that the hands were seemingly off and he took it off his wrist, stuffing it in his coat pocket.
Matt chuckled again and rolled onto his side and managed his way to stand up. "I may be a bum, but I'm not gonna steal your fancy time-teller." Matt noticed Floyd put away his watch.

“I never said that you were going to steal my watch, but thanks for pouting that thought in my head. The clock hands are all messed up, they don’t match up with how the sun is positioned,” Floyd explained, taking out the watch and showing him.
"Ah…" Matt said, inspecting the watch, which was indeed broken. He felt a twinge of guilt at teasing him.
Ro climbed down from her perch. "There's a break in the forest heading South-East."

Floyd stuffed the watch away once again and turned toward Ro. “Really? Let’s go check it out then.”
"Ah sweet. Are we off to see more killer bears I suppose?" Matt asked, half-joking and half-not joking.
Daso grimaced, fiddling with the frayed wristband hanging around his arm. "Hope we can just go home. No more bears, no more notes, no more weirdness."
Ro shrugged. "Depends on what type area we're trapped in here."
"Heh. No liquor, no home, and no safety. What next, no life?" Matt wondered sarcastically.
Ro narrowed her eyes. "Good luck with that in this middle of this shithole."

“I feel like we can rule out normal at this point. There was a polar bear in a bloody forest. That is not a natural habitat for a polar bear,” Floyd pointed out, folding his arms across his chest.
"That's fair." Matt replied, lookin over at the polar bear's corpse.
"So, shall we head towards…wherever we're heading?" Daso swallowed hard, trying to smirk with confidence even though the terror was starting to set in.

“Let’s go on ahead,” Floyd said, beginning to walk in the direction of the clearing.
"Off we go," Matt said, smiling and following the others.

“So,” Floyd said, not to anyone in particular, “how far do you think this area we are going to is?”

(Wow… I missed a lot in a couple of hours.)
Arabelle mentally kicked herself at showing off too much. The bear had been a shock, and the others weren't supposed to know that she'd had the skills to throw the knife that well, but it had surprised her. Since no one else had a weapon on them, she had felt that she'd needed to do something.
Shaking her head clear of her thoughts, she followed the others.
(O same)
Lyssie stepped after them silently, avoiding the branches and twig son the ground.
"It looked to be about 5o metres from the tree, but I'm betting it's more."

Floyd huffed and walked with the group, maintaining a decent pace.
Daso walked behind the group, his strides long but slow. He was getting hungry. And thirsty. He yawned, "how much further?"

“Not really sure, it’s hard to tell,” Floyd responded. From what he could see, there were still simply many trees in the distance.
“Where are we going again?”

"It's some clearing, I guess," Arabelle stated. "But nobody really seems to be sure."
“Wow, great decisions. Anyone know why we’re going there?”
Ro shrugged. "We're looking for a water source?"

“We should also findfood materials, and if not that, then materials to make hunting tools,” Floyd piped up.
“Materials are all around us,” Lyssie gestured.
"Wait hold up a minute guys," Daso interjected, a note of panic in his voice, "we're not staying for any amount of time. We've gotta be close to civilization or something. No need for hunting tools or food or any of that."
