There is unrest in the forest [Open]
Who| Groot & Anyone!
What| The alien tree is exploring and learning how this game works.
Where| Mostly the first floor, but he can be found exploring the upper floors.
When| Late Week 1 through most of Week 2
Warnings/Notes| Groot is very limited in his verbal communication, he can only say “I am Groot” and the rest of his communication is through verbal infliction, expression, and gestures, so it's very much like playing with a character who's mute. If you feel your character would understand this giant (like Rocket does), feel free to contact me and we can talk about it.
[A. Pretty Much Anywhere]
It's not so much as the shops here are useless, but that they're useless to him. He sees a number of things Rocket could make use of, to twist into weapons and tools, that was what his friend excelled in. But when Groot looks at them, he sees nothing of use to him. Just objects.
He just strolls around, trying to piece together exactly what this situation is, if this is a prison or something worse. Most often he wanders in the earliest part of the day, when the stores first open, though he can be found at other times too - checking for anything new, for anyone of interest. His friends especially. Rocket must be here, he saw a stuffed toy that looked just like him, though it could be that creature Quill mentioned too. He couldn't tell you one way or another honestly, but he much rather have Rocket here than not.
[B. Food Court]
Never let it be said that Groot doesn't catch on to things. He fully aware he's kind of hard to miss, but with how much people are hiding and keeping to themselves, he's realized that might not be a good thing. In some penitentiaries, being obvious, large, and threatening was to your benefit, but in others that can get you the wrong kind attention. This place is the latter.
No one seems in any rush to kill each other, but everyone is afraid of those who would readily take the chance. Makes the threat in the air tangible.
So, he does his best to actually lay low. Not an easy task. At least with all the blood in the ice room, no one really goes there.
The food court is only now opening and Groot is there waiting, ready to grab food and move on before too many arrive.
[C. Out in the Open Somewhere]
He learned very quickly that his body doesn't function the same as it used to, that some things are now out of his control. The little Terran he met told him they take away powers, but he's not sure why a natural function has been taken away or altered. What was he going to do? Kill people with flowers?
It's exceedingly annoying when these functions of his happen outside his command.
Like right now, he's standing still in the middle of the hall, the night is falling and the whole area is lit up with tiny floating spores of light. Harmless, but they glow like starlight and fire. And every time he moves, more come out from all over, but if he's still, nothing happens.
So, he's chosen to stand still for the moment, watching the lights of his accidental creation. Many could easily mistake him for an actual tree.
[D. Locker Room or Close By: post scavenger hunt]
The locker with his name on it was curious enough. When he first found it, there was a roll of Aluminum inside, the next day a kit to start fires, so he continues to go back and see what else might appear. So far, he hasn't found it empty. Nothing has been useful yet, but perhaps Rocket or another will find use for them.
Yesterday it was just a list, but the hunt was interesting and he was able to find everything on it. The note of congratulations he finds the today tells him the engraved saber and bottle of alcohol are his prize for it.
He inspects both curiously. What use does he have for either?

He gives a long slow nod at the first question, feeling it's rather obvious, but not wanting to leave the question unanswered. The compliment earns a smile from him, he's also rather fond of the little lights of his making. Even if they kind of annoy him right now with them being out of his control.
Then he's asked if he's an Ent. That gets a confused furrow to his brow, smile turning down in thought. No, his race has never been called that, nor does he even know what it is. Perhaps another noble tree race out there, but they are not him.
"I am Groot," it's decisive, though not unfriendly. He's setting the record straight - he's Flora Colossus, not an Ent.

"It's nice to meet you, Groot. I'm Jet."
He was just going to silently guess Groot was a new tribute since the blond was fairly certain he would have noticed a giant moving tree before.
"You kinda stick out, don't you, pal?" It was said with some concern since sticking out was hardly a good thing. Then again, Groot was a giant tree, being hit by a giant tree would probably be pretty effective as a fighting technique.
"You can probably take care of yourself, though, huh?" Jet looked up at Groot but then looked to one of the little floating lights that had just drifted down enough for Jet to reach.
Gently, he extended his fingertips out to see what it might feel like. They kind of looked like little mushrooms.
