LOST LITTLE BEAR [o, prompt]

[IVAN Z. BRAGINSKY]

(zima wanders away from the center of territory, ending up disoriented and lost on the outskirts of territory -- right next to the impact crater responsible for tanglewood's radiation in the first place, and where no shade or water can be found to keep cool.)

Oh dear, what had he gotten into? Zimavich knew he was suppose to go to work today, and went in that direction. All he found was this crater.
He panted heavily and stuck his nose to the ground, searching for water and releasing a little cry. He tried to find shade.
Nothing. He was lost. Ivan kept looking until he eventually returned to the crater, stepped down into it, and slowly passed out from heat exhaustion.

[Freyja]

The feline often found herself exploring parts of the territory few dared to venture. She liked to swim with alligators and dance along the borders of their enemies. She had no fear in her heart, so it was easy for her. Today's exploration included seeing the crater. She had heard a ton of stories about the place, and she needed to see if they were true. Her favorite theory was that someone had pulled the moon down, resting it there.

Long legs took her in the direction of the scarred earth with ease. Not too far off from the site, she heard what seemed to be a cry for help, and the girl went into action. Freyja arrived just in time to see Zimavich faint. A gasp escaped her throat as she scrambled down the walls of the crater, towards him. "Hey, Zim, wake up!" she yelled, poking and prodding and shaking him. She was no healer; she had not idea what she needed to do.

With a sigh, she turned her head towards the direction of camp and hollered, "Uh, hey! We need some help over here!"
