x Crying Lightning x (C!Flare's PoV)

Welcome to the Jungle but worst

"I knew your name wasn't somebody!" Faded exclaimed.

"Flare is a cool name. I like it," Bird said with a smile.

Anna also gave out a smile, "It's nice to meet you."

Before Flare could saying anything, Faded seemed to quickly whip his head in a different direction and was staring at a tree.

Weird, Flare thought but just shrugged it off. Maybe it's a common occurrence for Faded? She doesn't really know, she barely knows him.

She then gave all of them a small nod though and said, "It's nice to meet you too."

"Do you see that? On the tree?" Faded asked, suddenly and pointed.

"That's just a tree," Flare stated.

"Are you sure? I could've sworn there was a figure there...," Faded trailed off.

Bird then squinted and automatically took a step closer to try and find what Faded would be talking about. They didn't seem to see much other than the tree.

Anna also turned her head to look where Faded was looking at. She narrows her eyes slightly before saying, "Ummm no...? Nothing's there."

Faded's shoulders sank and muttered, "If you say so," before looking at the walls which, by the way, were tall as all hell!

He then pointed to where he was looking at and asked, "what about that one?"

"No...?" Flare was confused but then she felt something heavy on her hat. She looked up to see a will-o-wisp above her head.

"Heeeh? What?" She waved it off and it disappeared.

Weird...

While she was busy with that, Anna seemed to noticed the figure that Faded had pointed out.

That one was real.

"Yeah. I see it," she told him.

Faded gulped at this and continued to look at the wall almost like in a trance. "Hopefully it's just nothing," he muttered.

Bird, meanwhile, stares and stares but still couldn't see anything. "Maybe I just have bad vision...but no," they said.

"Well good to know I'm not crazy. Do you reckon I could hit them with my scythe?" Faded asked as he pulled the scythe off his back and readied himself to throw it up at the figure.

Does everyone get a weapon of sorts?

"No, the walls are too high. Don't bother," Anna told him.

"Yeah..." Flare agreed and took out her lighter again. She flicked it open and stared at the small flame.

It was mesmerizing and almost like she wanted to touch it...no. It'll hurt too much. She just stared at the flame.

Anna gave Flare a look of concern but had no judgment on her face. After all, they all appeared to have some kind of weapon on them. Ok maybe not all since Flare hasn't seen Bird pull out a weapon like Faded did...yet.

A thrack noise broke Flare out of her mesmerizing state and when she slightly turned her head to the noise, Faded went over to grab his scythe from a tree trunk. He must have thrown it there.

"Well I'm sure that figure doesn't mean anything important," he stated before adding on while sighing, "Oh yeah, where are you guys going to get food? I don't think I've seen anyone else with food."

Good question, Flare thought as she turned to Anna whose face shifted to a realization of the same question that Faded asked.

Maybe she had concerns of that before Flare came up?
