Not gonna begrudge anyone who wants to pander to over-inflated egos, but while we're stuck here we should be doing something useful to ensure everyone can survive.

- first-aid: Do you know it? Do you have a kit prepared for an emergency? Is there anyone here who has ACTUAL medical training?

- food & water: What's safe to consume? Has anyone encountered something that made them sick? Have we figured out how to safely use the apartment appliances just in case other people get trapped here?

- surroundings: Do we have a map of the area? Has anyone run into any other dangerous places besides the arena?

- defense: Are you capable of defending yourself if you're attacked? If not, I can at least help with that. If anyone else has any experience training personnel in combat, you should make yourselves available for people who need help.

I think the food is safe, or the things I recognized were; no one I know has gotten sick from any of it. You don't think they'd poison us, do you?

[camouflage]

Not so much about maliciously poisoning us, but I'm gonna guess this place is unfamiliar to all of us. If you're out in the middle of a forest you don't know, you don't stick the first mushroom you find in your mouth, do you? Same principle.

[cowardley]

So, don't eat things you don't recognize. That's kind of like toddler lesson number one.

[ oh, and don't put your fingers in light sockets. and no you can't play with mommy's phone. ]

You'd be surprised by a hungry person's lapse in judgement.

[cowardley]

...You're probably right. [ look, she's not up for pretending she knows anything about survival situations. food hasn't been so scarce she's become desperate, but who knows what state others are coming in. ]

The best way to get your clothes clean is to press the squiggly button on the washing machine... thing, followed by the button that kind of looks like a hashtag. Squiggly button + Oval Swirly button = Dyed Clothes. [ it's no survival tip, but most people probably don't want violently pink clothing. ]

Noted. I'll make sure to add this to the info I'm compiling. In case anymore newbies drop in.

[cowardley]

What sort of info have you gathered so far?

[camouflage]

Names of people who know what they're doing medically. Some others who are working on making maps of the cave. What's lurking down here with us. Things like that.

[cowardley]

And you'll share it when you're done with it? [ though, judging what she's learned about this place so far, he probably won't be really done any time soon. there's a lot to learn. ]

[camouflage]

Can't exactly keep it to myself now that I've announced what I'm doing. Don't worry, everyone will see it.

[cowardley]

All right. Cool. I guess I look forward to it. [ though she wishes she could have helped more ]
