Five Deadly Venoms [Skiplaurel / Day 1]

Laurel finds herself, perhaps naturally, gravitating towards the closest thing she can see to a forest after bolting from the Bloodbath. The foliage would provide a good source of cover from the other Tributes, but predators tended to hang around the forest floor. Laurel figures she is safer up high, climbing the trees, and if there is one thing she should have no problem doing in these Games, it was climbing trees. So Laurel scales a tree, surprised to find that, judging from the various linked platforms she finds on top, she was apparently supposed to do that.

"Okay, okay... just think of it as playing a game of tag, Laurel. Bottlenecks, some trunks to hide behind..." it occurs to Laurel she is not so much talking to herself as the audience. She takes a step forward, only to hear a sharp creak from the rotting wood beneath her.

Fuck, this place is a deathtrap. I've built tree forts sturdier than this!

Laurel is snapped out of her reverie by the sound of a parachute landing on one of the branches besides her.

Huh, I didn't actually think I'd get any sponsors.

She begins to rummage through the only supplies she has at the moment.
