X-001 • welcome to the jungle (id: blacksquadron)
[ 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 )

Maybe. Though it wasn't exactly tigers.

[That sounds. So dumb to say, but he's really curious.]

[ poe looks a little sheepish, but proud, too. he runs a hand through his hair. ] It almost got me first, though.

Good luck with that either way. Anyone who didn't have to take the forest stroll we did when this shit started might not get the picture.

[ those were a surprise for poe, honestly. though their stroll through the forest had featured those spiders, so really? he prefers the dragons. ]
