Thirty-Two

[mywariswon]

Erhm... excuse me, but might someone pick me up? I am... very tired and frankly famished and it is... rather hot here.

I believe this is... yes it must be, it resembles Nabata... I believe I am in the desert.

The desert?

[So much for formalities. He's a little ... surprised, to say the least.]

[voice]

[mywariswon]

...Yes.

[I think this is another one of those unspoken mutual agreement things. Like not marrying or screwing each other]

[voice]

[chikaidestroyer]

...You must realize that you're several days away from the village, depending on how far into the desert you are.

[voice]

[mywariswon]

...Yes, I do. Forgive me for being pushy, but that is why I'd like someone to come sooner rather than later.

--Are there any landmarks out here? I'm going to get lost...

Mark!

[mywariswon]

Hello, Cloud.

[Voice]

[herobydefault]

...they left you in the desert? What the hell...

[Voice]

[mywariswon]

Yes, and rather unceremoniously at that! [Mark's fail!humor]

[goldenpathredux]

Breathe through your nose. If you can't find shelter, bury yourself in sand with only your nose protruding and wait for nightfall. Orient yourself around the sun...I can go on.

[mywariswon]

Lord Atreides... Alright, thank you. Please do. I'm looking for a landmark now.

[goldenpathredux]

Move by night. Breathe through your nose...if you have a thin piece of clothe, cover your mouth and nose with it to filter.. Don't panic. My people lived in much dryer conditions.

[mywariswon]

The desert gets horribly cold at night though, does it not? Nabata did, at least...

[wise_maiden]

Mark!

... The desert. Damn. And I take it they've left no supplies with you.

[Voice]

[mywariswon]

...Well I have my clothes?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I meant along the lines of water.

Can you move at all? I don't recommend you tiring yourself out, though if you're close enough to a structure, you might want to get inside at least.

[Voice]

[mywariswon]

...I know, mi'lady. [That was Mark's sense of fail!humor]

Oh, but erhm, yes. I don't have any injuries, I think, I merely... have not eaten in about a week. I think it was a week... I'm looking for landmarks now.

...Are there any landmarks out here?

[Voice]

[snowandgrace]

... Nabata...

[Voice]

[mywariswon]

...Yes, Ninian. The Nabata desert.

[Voice]

[snowandgrace]

You're... Mark.

[Voice]

[mywariswon]

...Yes, I am. [Containing... exhilaration... but it's easy 'cus he's hungry and tired]
