[Bellamy looks exhausted, but by now, there's nothing new about that. His hair is a mess and there are bags under his eyes, but hey, at least he ditched his jacket. Small improvements.]

My name's Bellamy Blake.

[Hey guys, hope you're all doing great, but Bellamy is allergic to polite smalltalk apparently, so he jumps right in.]

Wyver expects us to earn our keep, and we're not exactly drowning in food like we were in Olympia. I'm trying to organize some hunting parties, bring back as much as we can carry. Something tells me not all of us know how to hunt, so I'll teach you if you're willing to put in the work and share what you kill. Any basic survival training you need, I'll help you out.

[That's it, mostly. Except:]

If you're not comfortable leaving the city, don't. We don't need anyone else getting hurt.

[ poe smiles when the video clicks on, friendly more than cheerful, given everything that's been going on. his hair is more tousled even than usual, and there's some sweat making his skin shine. ]

I grew up on a planet covered in jungle. [ for a moment, his smile grows warmer, if a little wistful. ] I figure not everyone here did, so it might be useful to share some tips.

[ welcome to jungle 101 by poe dameron. ]

First of all, water and food. There's plenty of both, but you gotta be careful. Best bet is to boil the water if it looks dingy, sometimes even if it doesn't. Stick to plants you know or someone's told you are safe for gathering those. If you're hunting, best avoid animals that are very colorful.

If you see a large animal and you're not actively hunting it and prepared to kill it, your best bet is probably to back away quietly and slowly. Oh, and watch out for insects. We don't know how many species here may be poisonous or carrying disease.

[ a beat, and his expression turns regretful. ] The last thing we need is for more people to get sick.

There's plenty civilization here. Unless you know how to handle yourself, maybe just stay in the city. But if you do find yourself in the jungle, be careful, all right?


( ooc: poe did grow up in the jungle, i know nothing about jungle living, so if anything is obviously wrong, please point it out to me and assume poe wouldn't have made stupid mistakes, ty )
