Zone D -- The Foam

[The Future Warrior]

The few hours of waiting they had to endure were quiet and more than a little unpleasant. It was cold. It was dark. And it was wet. Graowr was able to keep herself occupied by messing about on the syntech tablet. Checking updates and getting herself updated on the goings-on of the island. Two entire zones were going to drop out of the running, turning into dead zones. She wasn't entirely sure what all that would entail, but with a name like 'dead zone' she could only assume it was nothing good. Especially if it was even a tiny portion as bad as what had happened to Garlic Jr. That was kind of a vague tale, and she hadn't really learned much about it, but it sounded pretty bad. She'd like to avoid that if possible.

What was more interesting to her, though, was the goings-on up in the Colosseum. Zedd's fight was still going on, and he was really giving it his all up there. Yeah, get 'em, Zedd! Another fight had started up, too, though. It was somebody she didn't recognize, and...Tony! Oh, wow, it was finally time to see what he could do! Well...kind of. She'd just be watching, and not actually participating, but still! Knock 'em flat, redcoat!

Still, even that could only take up so much time, and eventually she turned back to the dataverse, reading up on what she'd missed on twitter and such. Her brow furrowed, as she checked over an increasingly frustrating and flustering series of comments directed at her. About her swim out to the item waaaay out away from the island yesterday. Or...earlier today? It was hard to keep track of time, it was so out of whack. And she was so incredibly confused about all of the sudden interest and attention. "...I just don't get it."

Of course, all of that went out the window when the item drop came down. Spitting purple sparks, and trailing a bright purple parachute, it crashed down a little ways off of their prediction. At the edge of the jungle, toward the beach. They both scrambled for it, and though Dawn was faster it was the blue abomination's frantic scrambling and hopping through the trees and over obstacles that let her get to it first, quite literally crashing into the container and ripping it open to grab the contents. A small capsule. "Hey, another one of these! Awesome!"

"...what is it?" Dawn questioned, looking at it dubiously.

"It's a capsule! Press the little button on top and toss it, and it releases whatever's stored in it! Really handy for carrying stuff around." She tossed it up, catching it, and shoved it into her body along with the rest of her carried equipment. "We got it, now let's get going!" And without missing a beat, she was off and running, back the way they'd come. Dawn, much less eagerly, followed behind her.
