--START--
@Orea
I captchalogue the king's body.
That was... Why was this so easy? He didn't even try to fight back, or notice me...
I jump up across the rocks and up to the woman as quickly as I can.
"Hey :D"

@Jamster
You bound up the rocks and confront the woman directly.
She seems quite startled at first, but quickly regains her composure.

@Orea
"Whats your name :?"

@Woman_In_Black
"M-My name is of no importance.  You're... Orea right?"

@Orea
"Yes.. How did you know that :?"
"Have we met before :?"

@Woman_In_Black
"A-ah... Sorry I can't confide in you how I know your name.  But no, you have never met me before."

@Orea
"Ehr.. alright.. :?"
"What are you doing here :?"

@Woman_In_Black
The woman begins muttering under her breath.
"D-d...damn I was supposed to avoid direct confrontation"
"Is... is there any way you can forget that you saw me here?"

* Orea smirks

@Orea
"Why would you want to pretend like we haven't met :?"

@Woman_In_Black
"Uh... I can't t-tell you why.  Damn... I guess there's no going back now then."

@Orea
"Nop :P"

@Woman_In_Black
"I- I don't mean to cause any harm though.  Quite the opposite in fact."
The woman reaches into her pocket and pulls something out.
"H-here, take this flash drive and plug it into your computer the next chance you get.  It's really important t-that you do so."

@Orea
"Okay.. thanks :?"
"What are you doing here though :?"
I inspect her

Orea rolled 1d20+1 [ 1d20=18 ]{19}

@Woman_In_Black
She doesn't seem to be directly lying to you, but she is definitely hiding something.  She does not appear to be an enemy at the moment though.

@Orea
Is she human?

@Woman_In_Black
Yes.
She's extremely nervous right now.
But trying to hide it.

@Orea
"You know, most humans don't come near here. Why would you want to come here... :|"
"Do you want something to eat or drink :? I was just about to head back to camp :!"

@Woman_In_Black
"L-like I said before, I really can't tell you anything at this moment.  It's incredibly important that you plug that flash drive in."
"I'm not even supposed to be talking to you right now, I don't think I'd be allowed to eat."

@Orea
"Yeah I'll do that but do you want something :?"
"Like.. idk what do you humans eat :?"

@Woman_In_Black
She thinks to herself for a few seconds.

Orea rolled 1d20+1 [ 1d20=3 ]{4}

@Woman_In_Black
She shakes her head.
"I r-really need to go now, I can't stay much longer."
"I promise you I'll be in contact with you though.  You just need to p-plug in that flash drive."

@Orea
"Aww... But I wanted to enjoy the company of someone :c"

@Woman_In_Black
She looks around briefly

@Orea
"alright fine... Where do you need to go thats so important :?"

@Woman_In_Black
She leans in and whispers.
"I still can't tell you that... but I promise I'll be in the area."

@Orea
"So you will tell me eventually then... :?"

@Woman_In_Black
"Maybe.  C-chances are you're going to find out for yourself what's going to happen."

@Orea
"Are there more people like you :?"

@Woman_In_Black
She looks around again then leans in and whispers.
"Y-yes.  Your friends should be in contact with them.  Don't tell anyone I told you that though."

@Orea
"Huh.. ok :!"
"So... I guess I'll see you around then :?"

* Orea puts her hand on the woman's shoulder

@Woman_In_Black
"S-sorry I was so cryptic."

The women gets up and slides down the rock.  You think you can hear her lightly sobbing as she speed-walks away.

* Orea waves, confused

@Orea
Alright then...

* Orea remembers to uncaptcha the prey and pulls out the arrow, then wipes the blood off onto a nearby leaf

@Orea
I then re-quiver the arrow and captcha the puma again
Before running back to the camp

Orea rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=14 ]{17}

@Woman_In_Black
You notice that the wound engraved in the Puma is slightly purple.  Could this possibly be poison?

@Orea
"Ugh..."

Orea rolled 1d20+2 to check if its poison (medicine) [ 1d20=14 ]{16}

@Woman_In_Black
You confirm that it is poison.  It doesn't look like any sort of animal could have inflicted this type of poison too.

@Orea
I check the body for any cuts that might have caused it to get poison from an injection or slice

@Woman_In_Black
You check the cuts, but you aren't able to discern exactly what causes this wound.  It doesn't look like anything you've ever seen before.  The cut seems to be in the formation of a plus sign.

@Orea
hmm.. probably some sort of ritualistic weapon.. so probably that woman caused this
Probably thinking to draw me towards its cave to give me that usb...
From how she inhibited him.. I'd assume she thinks she is trying to help me.. although it does completely ruin my dinner for the next week...
I throw away the carcass
and then return to the camp

@Orea
Is everything normal in the camp?

@Jamster
Your camp is just the way it was when you left it.

@Orea
I sit down on my bundles and open up my laptop, starting it up before plugging in the USB stick

@Orea
Does anything happen after I plug it in?

@Jamster
A program pops up the instant you plug in your USB.  The program seems to be a digital timer surrounded by red borders, but the numbers on the timer are changing rapidly, not giving you a certain time.

@Orea
I look confused at it
so... a useless countdown...
Perfect.

@Jamster
You hear a ping from your chat program.

@Orea
I open it

@Jamster
obligatedInamorata has begun pestering you

@twilightRanger
"Hi :!"
@obligatedInamorata
"Aha! I see you've plugged in the USB!  Excellent, you managed to extend your lifespan! Hopefully."

@twilightRanger
"Ehr... thanks :?"
"What is this a countdown to:?"

@obligatedInamorata
"A countdown to your death!  When the timer reaches 0, BOOM! A meteor will crash down on you and you will die!"
@twilightRanger
"Oh. Ok."
"So what do I do about it :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"Well let me explain a few things first.  This program, while it heralds your death, it is also what could possibly save your life!"

@twilightRanger
"I assume that you have some sort of solution like accepting my lord and saviour jesu christe into my heart :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"When everyone else in your session gains access to this program, a new function will open!  You will understand what it is when it happens."
">:((( This is no times for jokes Orea, your life as well as everyone elses is at stake here!"

@twilightRanger
"Would you mind explaining it to me anyway :? I feel like that would help :P"

@obligatedInamorata
"Nope!  Can't, because I actually don't know what it is either!"
"All I know is that it will save your life if used correctly!"

@twilightRanger
"... thanks... :/"
"So how do you know this :?"
"Why should I be trusting you :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"Well anyways, a few others in your session have already inserted the USB, but you are the most competent so far!  So you are now tasked with an additional task.  Congratulations!  These are the burdens of being smart!
"Well you can choose not to trust me, but you'll die because of it!  And I cannot tell you how I know this!"

@obligatedInamorata
"Anyways, onto your task!"

@twilightRanger
"... thanks... :L"

@obligatedInamorata
"You and... 9 others are apart of a 'session', whatever that could be."
"Each person is linked with a 'host' and a 'client'.  Again, I'm as in the dark on this as you are!"
"Your goal is to make sure that everyone is linked in such a way that they have both a host and a client, and that no one is left out!"
"Otherwise.... BOOM!  All of you will die!  Some at a later time than others, but it will be inevitable."

@twilightRanger
"Alright.. So I effectively have to try to get everyone to team up :?"
"You know they aren't going to listen to me, right :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"Well then.... you're all going to have a bad time!"
"Well... worst case scenario we can assign you people randomly!  But that's no fun, and some people probably won't work well together!"
"You don't have to make the cycle yourself, but maybe post a memo or something and get them all to decide themselves!"

@twilightRanger
"Thats not a bad idea"

@obligatedInamorata
"Oh and just so you don't think that we're the villains, we aren't bringing about these meteors!  We're just trying to help you!"

@twilightRanger
"Yeah I figured :P"
"Btw why did you go for such a weird knife thing for poison :? Is it some kind of cool cult thing :?"
"Oh does your cult have a name like 'Triangle League' or something :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"Nope!  I'm not really supposed to tell you this, but I kinda like you as a person so I guess it wouldn't do any harm!  I have a multitool that has several different settings!  Each one is like a totally different weapon!"

@twilightRanger
"Wow that sounds awesome :!"

@obligatedInamorata
"We aren't a cult :(((!"
"It very much is!  One of your friends actually stole one off of us >:(((.  But, not much we can do about that!  He even dispatched the agent!"

@twilightRanger
"Really :?!"
"Did you know them well :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"Nah, none of us really know each other well at all!  That's why we'd be no good in a session, and why we're giving the reins over to you!"

@twilightRanger
"If its a meteor that kills us... what happens to you :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"Well.... I'd rather not think about what's to become of us to tell you the truth :(."

@twilightRanger
"Oh do you.. I'm so sorry :("

@obligatedInamorata
"Nah don't worry about it, no point in thinking so down in the dumps about it if it is inevitable!  At least someone will survive!"

@twilightRanger
";( Is there anything I can do :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"Survive!  Don't let us all die in vain!  That's all we really can do!"

@twilightRanger
"Are you really ok just... letting that happen :?"

@obligatedInamorata
"We've known about this for a while, I've come to terms with it!  Really!"

@twilightRanger
"if you ever want to talk or come for dinner or something please do :! I'm more than happy to have visitors :)"

@obligatedInamorata
"I have some other business to attend to, but I'll stop by if I get the chance!"
"Well, I have to go now!  It was nice chatting with you!"

@twilightRanger
"Alright :! Goodbye for now :!"

@obligatedInamorata
obligatedInamorata has stopped pestering twilightRanger

@Orea
I grab the previous carcass and slice a chunk out of it before starting the campfire to cook it
While I wait for it to cook I grab a bottle and jog to the river and fill it with water, before then going onto my laptop once more and browsing the interwebs

@Jamster
While there is no minus button on the timer program, you find that you can alt-tab out of it.
