You make a happy face out of the rocks and tinder before heading out looking for thatch for a bed, while gathering it you find a good-looking branch which you save. As you relax on your new bed of thatch you start to mess around with some of the stuff in your possession and wish there was a way to elongate your knife... Wait a minute... Maybe you could tie it to the stick! You work with the thatch you collected and make a nifty hatchet.

I venture out of the cave and search for a nearby tree and some fruit bearing plants. I use my crudely made hatchet to peel off some bark and cut some vines to improve the durability of my basket and to add to my tinder pile. I try my trick of sucking sap out of a tree to quench my thirst. I gaze at Nix in order to determine how much time is left in the day. After what feel likes five minute I head back to my cave and sit with my belongings, contemplating my next move.

After this time of contemplation I take out my smooth stones. I strike them against each other determinedly, hoping they will create a spark so I can create fire when night falls. Then I go back to sitting on my bed, waiting for the next development.

You venture out of your cave and find a nice berry bush which you pick some berries from. You then cut off some bark from a tree and drink it's sap, it's tastes alright. You look at Nix and see that it's about to set, so beautiful... After several minutes you go back to your cave and strike two stones together, nothing happens. You then improve your basket with some of the sticky bark.

Items:
1 Loincloth: Equipped
1 Basket: Alright
2 Stones: Smooth
1 Hatchet: Poor
2 Berries: Black

Health:
Hunger: A little hungry
Thirst: Dry
Drowsiness: Really tired
Wounds: None

House:
Bed: Thatch

Waking up you see a face silhouetted against Nix, you rub your eyes and it disappears. Odd. You amble outside to find that your neat pile of dried-bark tinder is ready and you take it into your cave and throw a few twigs onto it. Afterwards you venture out of your cave in an unfamiliar direction in search of a water source popping a few berries in your mouth as you go.

Hmm... I forgot to add the berries to the previous post! I'll do that now.

OOC: is this the next move, or is it the results of the previous move, or a reaction to the results or what? I don't really mind, but it seems as though there are multiple gamesmasters now. Can I suggest that any character moves be written in italics (like this), and that Aduvash post when any new GMs are added please. Also (and yes I know I've done this before as well), can we please have one move at a time rather than people postign over the top of each other. Alternatively, could the GM please use a different text colour to clearly define the outcome of moves so we know what has happened and when; which actions have happened and which haven't etc. I'm not big on forum/roleplaying games usually, but the main reason for this is the lack of clarity which can occur in situations like this. I was really excited by this thread, and I want to get back to playing rather than trying to decipher who's doing what. I don't want to be whingey, but these things only work if some kind of system is used.

I do like this thread though, and kudos to Aduvash for starting it :D

There is only one GM, I was pondering how to post bobboy555's turn, you haven't even went to sleep yet... I think it would be good if people posted like this:
>Blah blah blah.
Also, I find it really annoying when people post with their whole post in neon green or something like that, so I won't do it. But I might add what turn it is in large bold letters in a colour.

Feel free to post, I would rather do multiple posts in one turn.
