[It takes a full day for him to really give in to the fact that he's in over his head. He doesn't have any allies, there are too many threats out here, and he has no clue what he's doing. Various people have been offering help over the network but he's just not sure which to take up on them, and he can't get rid of the creeping discomfort that dogs his heels as he tries to make sense of the caves.
In short, he's lost, and he's hungry, and his clothes are still damp from the rainy part of the storm he got caught outside in this morning. He's still careful not to show how upset he actually is about this turn of events, and no one around here has really had time to establish a "norm" for him yet, but he's not smiling and he's more visibly annoyed than he has been so far. It's dark, wherever he is, except for some sunlight threading in through a crack high enough above him that he can't reach.]
Alright, here's a question for you: everyone's being very industrious between the repairs and the survival camps and the grudgematches, but how do I find my way out of a cave no one is familiar with?
I've got no clue where I am, but the first person with the right answer gets the benefit of a very grateful pair of eyes watching their back.

Because whichever way it rolls, go the other way.
[Go back up, even if up is not immediately visually obvious.]
no subject
Yeah, I got something. Hold on.
[It's dark enough that the camera is mostly just jostling, then there's the clicking of plastic and metal, and the unmistakeable sound of bullets sliding against each other.
He's back a moment later, shaking his head.]
I... think it's supposed to be this way. This is ridiculous.

How does anyone get lost? I thought I knew where I was going and didn't know I was full of shit until I didn't get there.

What's a Lassiebot and why would you want to do one?
...you're not the only one that could find me then.
no subject
[Like you apparently have today.]
No, I wouldn't be. Dealer's choice, pet.
no subject
Yes but does it wait for me after school?
I've got a couple other people talking to me. We'll see what they turn up. Where's the celebrity deathmatch trying to go down?

If you want to actually be useful, we could do with 'elp keepin' the engine crew safe.
[ private ]
How in the hell am I meant to keep anyone safe if I can't find my own way out of a cave?

[ private ]
Any of those people you're talking about likely to be taken in by distraction and misdirection? Because I haven't gotten over my low tolerance for bloodloss yet, unfortunately.

From what I've seen, mostly Davy Jones seems to throw his weight around as much as he can. And now he's got a lot more weight to throw.
[private]
[private]
Well, believe me, I have no intention of telling him he's dim and slow. And I have no intention of trying to rate Victor on a scale of snail to snake. I just want to stay out of the way until everyone figures out how to be cool again.
[private]
Where's your sense of adventure, petal?
[private]
[Which gets her a slow, sweet smile back.]
With someone who wants it.
[private]
Fair enough, lovey. Don't get killed then, it just makes work for us. I've got to go wrestle tigers now; give us a shout if you need me, eh?
[private]
Remember to keep hold of the tail. It keeps you away from the business end by default.

Figuratively.

You're very up front about being something that most people would consider fictional at best and impossible at worst.

So, no point in trying to cover it up now.
