Status Update Day 4

Location: In a freaking maze under the damn ground.

Allies: None. They are gone (for now)

Weapons: Dagger, dirk, blowtorch

Items: Pack E, a flashlight.

Injuries: None really. A concussion that has been taken time with and feeling good. A cut on my chest that is healed and fine now.

Notes: We went to the feast at hole 4 with no problem. After that I got a parachute from someone and it mentioned Zeke so I knew it was someone close to him. We then went to the clubhouse and it was cold and worthless to go there. We then held out beside it until a huge ass hole drug us underground and now I'm in an underground maze with no friends.

Food and Weapons and Medicines Oh My! || JKJ || Day 4

The staff quarters has a couple of plaid couches tucked along one wall that look live they’ve seen better days. There’s a working kitchenette, and a fridge that is empty of all food stuffs.

"Dude, it's cold as shit in here! Holy crap!" I rubbed my hands over my arms and I started to jump up and down, trying to keep myself warm if anything else. We went to the staff quarters and there was nothing in there at all except for some couches, a working kitchenette and a fridge that was empty. I looked around didn't see anything of interest here.

"We saw a bar out there right? I could need a drink, you guys want to go see what the bar has to offer?" My teeth started to clatter and they all nodded their heads and I nodded mine. We headed to the bar and maybe some drinks.

I looked at the note again and shrugged “it mentions Zeke but I’m not sure of the name. It could be his mentor maybe? I’m not sure why his mentor would sponsor us though.” I shrugged again and then smiled “I promised him that my next kill would be with my...

I smiled as they didn't take any. "Whatever you say guys, it's not all mine guys, you're my allies and I want you guys to have it." I put it in my pack and then ate one as we started to drive.

We pulled up to the clubhouse and got out. I pulled out my dagger and dirk and shrugged. "Right behind you guys, always will be." I walked up to the door and pointed "Well who wants to do the honors?"

I shrugged at what Joule was saying “I don’t really believe in jinxing stuff really.” Just as I said that I heard a beep above my head and I looked out of the golf cart and saw a parachute coming down from the sky and headed towards us. “Jeremiah, over...

I looked at the note again and shrugged "it mentions Zeke but I'm not sure of the name. It could be his mentor maybe? I'm not sure why his mentor would sponsor us though." I shrugged again and then smiled "I promised him that my next kill would be with my fists since he was a fighter and his would be a knife. This was while we were in training."

I grew silent for a moment and thought of our times in the Captiol, it seemed so long ago. I have grown to miss those times. I put the other flashlight in my pack and handed them the soup, "You guys need these more than me."

As Kineos rides around in Sheila a parachute floats down to him. Inside he finds 2 flashlights, a lighter and 2 cans of soup.

Food and Weapons and Medicines Oh My! || JKJ || Day 4

We started to head north towards the clubhouse and I was content right now, we didn’t have to worry about much honestly. Everything was “looking up” for JKJ really. Joule was healed, Jeremiah was healed and I was pretty good myself, we could survive another fight. “We never know what could be in there really. It could be anything.”

We kept driving some more “Things our going our way aren’t they? I mean, you guys are patched up now and we got some stuff we could use and food. We can handle another fight in need be.” Jeremiah threw his sleeve into the sand pit and I laughed “Nice throw.”

I scanned the area behind us as we drove, not willing to let anyone catch us off guard. “We don’t, but I think the risk is worth it. At the very least, we’ll have shelter.” i say with a shrug. I should probably be more suspicious, but at this point, my curiosity was getting the better of me.

"You’re going to jinx the crap out of us, Kineos." I said with a frown. His comment had got me thinking. What happens now? With the numbers dwindling and all of us gathering our strength, what would happen if we were the last three?

I shrugged at what Joule was saying "I don't really believe in jinxing stuff really." Just as I said that I heard a beep above my head and I looked out of the golf cart and saw a parachute coming down from the sky and headed towards us. "Jeremiah, over there!" He quickly turned the golf cart and I caught the parachute as it was coming down from the sky. I opened it up and smiled there was a note and it mentioned Zeke. I didn't get to say my goodbye at all, I had betrayed him and I nodded "I will make sure we hold up our deal, next person I kill will be with my hands." I thought to myself.

I picked out the items, some flashlights, a lighter, and two cans of soup. "Not a bad haul. Hey Joule, have this lighter, you're the only one without a way to light something." I handed it to her and shrugged "We can use these flashlights for something, I guess for the club if there isn't any light." I gave them a small smile and then looked up and just gave a small nod. "Thank you."

Food and Weapons and Medicines Oh My! || JKJ || Day 4

I grinned, looking down in my leg. “I have no earthly clue what they put into that cream, but it works wonders.” The cut in my shin had gone from a nasty looking deep gash, to a shallow, albeit still tender, cut. I couldn’t hold in my sigh of relief as I put my weight on my leg, feeling only a fraction of the pain I had felt earlier.

Taking a swig of the canteen, I propped up my leg on my seat, accepting a sandwich from Kineos. “There has to be something in there, right? I mean, why else would they give us a key.” Unless it was a trap, of course. But between the three of us, we could probably take anything on.

We finished eating and I started Sheila back up and pulled out of the tree line and started heading north towards the clubhouse. I didn’t know what would be there waiting for us. if it’d be bad or good but why not check it out.

As we drove up hole 7, I threw that bloody piece of my sleeve into the sand pit as we passed it. I watched it sink down and grinned that I didn’t need it anymore. Lucky me.

I was overjoyed when I saw that there was no one at the cornucopia, I wanted to jump up and down celebrating. Instead, I limped over to the tube of cream my eyes locked onto immediately, removing the bandages and spreading a generous amount on my leg, careful to leave at least 1/2 or the tube full. It burned, but the pain was nothing compared to the last few days.

The idea that no one else needed healing cream was bothersome, but I didn’t worry on it too much as I watched the cut begin to close up. While it wasn’t all the way healed, it definitely looked and felt better. Still, I kept the brace on, just in case, wanting to give it as much time as possible to heal up.

Picking up the small key on the table, I held it up to the light, examining the small piece of metal. “I agree. We should grab the stuff and go. But we should eat first, just to get our strength up incase someone comes.” I tucked the key into my pocket. “Maybe we head up to the club house. We’ve got the key, after all.”

I watced as Joules wound closed up nicely then looked down at my arm. The skin was pulling together and sealing itself. My cut was not as deep as Joule’s so it was as if it were a scratch, like the ones on my arm and leg. “Holy fucking shit!” I hollered as I poked and pushed at the mark and felt very little pain. “Well that was just fucking amazing”

I looked around to see if there were still anyone yet to come. I saw nothing and heard even less. We were definitely alone. The elation flooded my system as I fell back into the cart after loading her up with food and morphling and golf clubs.

We drove off to the side of the hole and parked just inside the trees under the shade of the canopy. We began to eat and the feeling of food in my stomach was perfection. “I’m down to head up there, see whats hidden.” I said with a smile.

I saw Joule's and Jeremiah's wounds close up and I was amazed "Holy crap that stuff is amazing. I wonder what they use for that! I have got to get my hands on some of that stuff." I was still amazed at it and then they mentioned going to the clubhouse.

I shrugged and looked at them "Cap, you're the one driving so take us there, we got to be careful though. We don't know what or who is in there, a good place to hold up for the day actually." We began to eat some food and I drank some of the tea and offered it to them "IF you guys want anything, let me know."

Food and Weapons and Medicines Oh My! || JKJ || Day 4

The drive back down was relatively uneventful, and I was surprised that we hadn’t run into anyone else. Thankful, but surprised. Until we grabbed that healing cream, I was useless, and Jeremiah was still a bit beat up as well.

I smiled slightly at his joke. “I haven’t either. And what will we use as a golf ball? Maybe the smoke bombs?” A better use of the bulbs would be as weapons. That was probably why they were included. Fuck, the GameMakers had a sick sense of humor. Though that was hardly new news.

"I don’t see anyone heading our way, but it’s possible they could be coming up from the south. If there’s people down there already, I think we should have a game plan." I tried to keep the nervousness out of my voice.

We arrived to the little cornucopia and Joule grabbed the healing cream and slathered it on her wound before tossing the tube to me. I squeezed out a bit on my fingers and undid the belt on my arm. I rubbed it into the gash, my eyes began to water at the pain, but it dissipated rather quickly.

"Id love nothing more than to smack someone in the face with a smoke bomb via golf club." I said with a grin. Joule and I each took two of the smoke bombs, since Kineos still had a few in the pack he got at the bloodbath.

"Do you guys want to have some breakfast now, or save some for later?" I asked gesturing to the food on the table.

We got to the little cornucopia and nobody was there, interesting. "I'm surprised nobody is here, they must of went to the other ones or not have as many injuries as us." They treated their wounds and I sat and watched to see if anyone was coming.

I looked at Jeremiah and Joule when they said that. "I wouldn't see why we couldn't do that, anyone know how to actually swing one of these?" I ask as I picked up one of the golf clubs and looked at them "I have never swung one."

I looked at the food and then back at them "It's better to get it to go. We don't know if anyone will be here soon, hide in the forest and then eat up? We do need our energy."

Food and Weapons and Medicines Oh My! || JKJ || Day 4

I cringed at the sound of Nausicaa’s voice. remembering the punishment she put me through the day before the scavenger hunt. Hard to believe that was only a few days ago. I snapped out of my little daze and rushed to the cart alongside joule. She was right and I was going to that feast no matter what. “Fuck yea we’re going for it.” I announced.

We hopped in, Kineos to my right and raced southward towards hole 4. She said there’d be healing cream. The wound on my arm is nice and clean but its still too deep to remain that way. Id need stitches or luckily some magic cream.

"Maybe once we get there we could play a round of golf." I said with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.

I heard Nausicaa's voice and smiled, a feast would be good for us right now honestly. We needed to patch each other up more and then we could go out and kill more. We were in the top 9, from the fallen yesterday and I was pretty excited for it. Joule mentioned going for it and i shrugged "Let's go there!" I said with a smile and hoped in the cart with Jeremiah driving and Joule in the back laying down some more.

We started to go south and I looked at them "We have got to be careful, Joule won't survive another fight like that okay. We get there, we get out. We will distract the people long enough for one of us to get a pack and we leave quickly." I looked at both of them and nodded "Let's hope there is nobody there." Jeremiah mentioned playing golf and I laughed "Never played the game honestly. If it is anything like this, I don't want to."

Is this Happening? || JKJ || Day 3

Using the spear as a crutch, I hobbled to the treeline. The cut was looking better, but still very sore. Because it was so so close to my knee, I figured I ould try and create something of a brace to help divert some of my weight off of the damaged area.

Cutting down some low branches, I pulled the twine from my pocket, electing to leave the bit of rope i still had alone for now. Finding an especially bendy branch, along with two straighter and sturdier branches, I tied the bendy branch tightly around my thigh, just above the knee, leaving enough room for the two sturdy branches, one on either side of my leg.

Finding another two more bendy branches, I twisted one around my ankle and foot and the other around the middle of my shin, just above my wound, securing them to the two branches. Carefully I tried to rest more of my weight on the my injured leg. While it still hurt like a bitch, the branches caught a lot of the weight, diverting it down to my ankle and foot.

Limping back over to the boys, I smiled widely. “Ta da! It’s a leg brace; survival addition, of course! I don’t think the bone’s broken, but it helps me from bending my knee and pulling at the would, as well as lessening the stress on my knee and shin.”

The warmth of the sun against my skin and wound felt amazing. It was relaxing and the damp uncomfortable feelings fled my system. I flipped my socks so the other side was now face up and bean to dry.

Joule emerged from the woods and I noticed a mess of wood on her injured leg. I bursted out laughing. “Oh my god Joule that is amazing! ” I said with a grin that stretched across my whole face. “Jesus christ, toss me your shoes let them dry.” I added still smiling.

I looked over a Kineos to see how he was looking. He seemed alright but I could tell the death of his friends was still fresh in his memories. as it was in all of ours, but I know it hurt him most. “JKJ, sounds great. but I’m the first J.” I say looking over at Joule with squinted eyes.
