Yeah, definitely. Um... where exactly are you? And how big is the bear?

_{[ Seriously, Sora, if you needed help just say it, don't make it a hypothetical! ]}

north of town, near the caves!

& its big? I dunno how big bears get this is the 1st ive seen ok

Re: text;

[universal_charm]

Uh, okay, I think I know at least one person who can be of help, maybe two. Just be careful - some bears can climb where I'm from, so a tree might not be the safest place for you if the bears here have similar traits.

[notzubats]

great- anyone who can help.

im being chased by a bear there is no safe place!!

Re: text;

[universal_charm]

Good point. Look, if worst comes to worst, just play dead. Hopefully it loses interest. Unless you're between it and it's cubs. You know, assuming they're like bears I know.

[notzubats]

a cub? you mean like a baby?

i havent seen any of those! how do you play dead in a tree?

Re: text;

[universal_charm]

Yes, a baby. Um... hang there like a corpse? Go limp, basically. If you can literally play opossum I would do it.

[notzubats]

uh- okay! ill give it a shot!

Re: text;

[universal_charm]

Just try not to pose a threat or be interesting. If the bear loses interest - you'll be fine!

text;

[notzubats]

well at least that parts easy

[Being unthreatening and not noteworthy- sure, that's the story of his life. But not like that guy knows that so- whatever. There's a disconnect symbol as he powers down his communication! Time for some radio silence-]

_{[ Kirk is concerned when he doesn't get further reply, but he is hoping that means that the kid is okay. As it is he's not finding who he needs, so he decided that he can't waste any more time and heads for the shuttles. He's not used to performing solo rescues or missions, but time wasn't something he thought the kid had. Maybe he could pick someone up when he touched down.}

_{As he makes his way down, though, he keeps texting, hoping to garner a reply on if he's safe or not. ]}

[There's no response for awhile, as Sora tries his best to get by. He really does try his best to play dead, laying limb as he can and making himself look non-threatening]

[But unfortunately, the moon is toxic enough that this bear knows better than to let a good meal that doesn't smell poisoned go to waste. And so, eventually it starts trying to make its way up that tree. Which when Sora notices? oh boy he sends out a quick message]

shes climbin!

text; do you want Kirk to come and help him in person or is Sora already safe and sound?

[universal_charm]

_{[ WELL, it was worth a shot right? But, in the mean time - ]}

Uh, try and go higher if the limbs are thinner - they won't support her. That, or jump and run for your life.

_{[ Only two options you have this point, sorry, because poking it doesn't seem like a good idea. ]}

text; it's entirely up to you! I'm flexible!

[notzubats]

uh- okay!

[Just gonna try that higher thing for a bit if he can!]

Haha, okay, I didn't want to mess up any time-lines

[universal_charm]

Try and head for town if you run. Willing to take a chance it doesn't like civilization. I'm on the way right now, so either hang tight or run to town.
