AUDIO || W15 || D2 || early morning

Even the blind should have noticed the signs of new critters with the arrival of Jumanji to this place.

[He pauses, scratching the scraggle of facial hair on his jawline.]

I'm lookin' to put together a huntin' party. The more people help out, the larger the haul will be to share and the safer we'll be while out there.

There's more than creatures out in the jungle, so it's best if you can hold your own. [Meaning he's not babysitting anyone on this excursion.]

Just give me a holler. I'm aimin' to head out soon.

[He knows a thing or two about hunting.]

I can help, if you need more.

definitely. what sort of weapons are you packing?

Arrows, mainly.

So long as you're a good shot. I ain't keen on trackin' something around here for more than a day to get a meal.

[In other words, shoot to kill not to wound.]

[He knows how to kill a little too well.]

Understood. Where's your starting point?

Figured we could collect the group outside of the dorms then take it from there.

[He'd have to risk being exposed, but he'd have his uniform at least.

He wouldn't feel right leaving others alone in this kind of terrain, anyway.]

Outside of the dorms it is.

15 min.

[There's an unspoken thanks somewhere in there too, but only if he's useful honestly.]

Count me in.

I'll need a signed permission slip first.

[He's teasing of course, though his teasing voice isn't much different than his to business voice.]

How are you on arrows?

I think my ability to shoot anything, including annoying men, is permission enough.

[ She gets it, though. She's just teasing back anyway. He's not that annoying. ]

I lost a few in the mist in that other place. I'm okay, but I'll need to get Stark to make me some new ones again just to keep my numbers up.

Touche. Though if you shoot me, best pray I'm dead. Otherwise you're in a world of hurt.

[Though he wouldn't expect anything less of her.]

I picked up a few from a shop in town last week if you want 'em.

[Because he's not admitting that he saw them and thought of her.]

You mean you wish I was instead of you. [ You can't out-tough her Daryl. ]

I'd really appreciate it. You sure you don't need them?

Ain't no wishin' to it in this shithole.

[Because what is censoring oneself around impressionable youngsters?]

Nah, I don't let my bolts wander off like some people I know. 'Sides, they have a different shaft length.

[ Who are you calling impressionable? ]

Probably shouldn't be fighting each other in this... 'shithole'.

Not my fault the monsters ran off with them in their eyes. They didn't die easily.

How else you gonna learn not to die?

[The teenage girl in the horror city, that's who.]

You got me there. Them fuckers were right nasty. At least you put 'em on the run.

I have a zero death record in six months. I think I'm doing well.

[ Excuse you she's almost 18 which is adult age. Someday. How does time work here again? ]

Did my best.

Where did you end up that first day?

I wouldn't brag about that over the network.

[Because basically she just put a target on her back for Compass to add to their To Kill List.]

The cornfields with the murderous packs of children.

As if there's any real privacy here anyway.

[ They're all targets. tell her something new. ]

That one sounded worse. I wouldn't want to deal with kids.

Better in person for some things.

[Even then one had to be careful.]

It's easier to do when they're trying to kill you. [Still, there's something in his voice that holds a bit of haunted irritation.]

Do you want to meet somewhere?

[ She doesn't press the kids thing. That sounds bad enough as it is, and he doesn't sound too happy about it himself. ]

Might as well get you the arrows.

[He's glad for it. Upon inspection, nothing had been abnormal about the children aside from the obvious murder motive. It's easier to kill walkers and monsters than children, even when they're trying to stab him.]

Are you near campus still?

[ Monsters are one thing. People are another. Especially children. ]

For the moment.

[Luckily, this wasn't the first time Daryl had to do something unsavory to survive. He already had a dark place to store the guilt prepared and ready.]

[Obi-Wan is willing to help with because having more food is a good idea but he doesn't understand one thing.]

What do you mean by Jumanji?

Let's just say it's a movie where a jungle creates itself from reading a book of the same name.

[It's a classic, but a jedi wouldn't know of that.]

[He's come to learn that a movie is something along the lines of a holofilm.]

I... see.

[A jungle coming out of a book? Sounds like something for a young child. Anyway. Getting back to the point of why he answered.]

I want to come along.

Do you have a weapon you can hunt with?

[He has to ask, even if it is a laughable question considering the person he was asking.]

Yes. I always have one on me. [Especially here.]

Good. I ain't much of a babysitter.

[Except he's surprisingly good with babies. Who knew?]

Can you track?

[Obi-Wan feels a twinge of annoyance at the comment.] I don't need a caretaker.

I don't excel at it but I'll do my best if need be?

Then you'll get a crash course.

[Learning on the job was the best way to track in his opinion.]

I'm Daryl, and I'll be out front in ten.

[Works for him.]

Obi-Wan. I'll meet you there.

Roger that.

[And he'll be outside in about seven or eight, just because he'd rather be early for these sorts of things.]

What is a 'Jumanji'.

It's a movie reference. Jumanji was a game that turned a house into a jungle like this.

What is a 'movie'.

Like a story told with moving pictures.
