OOC: This is going to be a short thread, for it's for anyone who isn't participating in the one where people's privacy gets invaded. It's going to close up the around the same time as the other one so all of the members can be in one thread before they split for a while. If you're in the other thread, please don't participate in this one, for this is happening simultaneously, and I don't think any of the survivors are in possession of a time-turner...
BIC: Lana inhaled deeply, trying to catch the scents of any kind of fruit on the wind. While the others were sorting though the suitcases, Lana had taken it upon herself to go search for some food for the rest of the group. All she had come across so far were some coconuts on a high palm tree, and she had spent a good fifteen minutes throwing things up there to try to make one fall. In a huff, she had stormed away, thinking that if she told Kitty, maybe she could shoot one down.
Now, she was beginning to trek through the edge of the jungle. She wouldn't go out of sight of the beach-- even if the jungle was much less menacing in the daytime, it still scared the crap out of her-- but she thought that there was a better chance of something to eat in there than there was just waiting for her on the beach. Maybe the survivors with weapons could go hunting for boar or something, but Lana would not be volunteering for that expedition; she most definitely wasn't a hunter.
Then she came across a smaller tree with large, green fruit with a strong scent. They were about the size of a baseball, and the tree was full of them. A... guava, she thought they were called. Walking carefully up to the tree, she moved to pick one when a loud rustling sound behind her caused her to turn and yelp. Her skinny back pressed up against the tree and her eyes widened as she assessed what had interrupted her and gave the timid girl such a fight.
