The thunder plays its drum
WHO| Bruce Banner and YOU
WHAT| Bruce is going trapping. Who knows who he'll meet around the arena?
WHEN| Backdated to the first week
WHERE| The woods, the river, the pond, anywhere with game.
WARNINGS| Death of animals, some description of butchering/tanning hide. Possible violence depending on whether someone confronts him or not.
A
Little traps made of berries, reeds, branches, animal sinew--really, any sort of resource they can find around the arena--are scattered around the arena. A ragged man bundled in a parka and carrying a long stick with a sharpened animal bone at the end walks to each trap, his footsteps unusually quiet for his size, and he always cautiously looks around before bending down and checking the traps for animals. When he finds them, their deaths are usually swift and merciful. Quick strikes to the head to minimize bleeding, and he ties their legs together with treated sinew taken from previous victims so he can more effectively carry them over his shoulder.
B
After he's checked most of his traps, he sits by the river and butchers some of the meat. Blood runs into the river, minimizing the mess that might lead others to his base. He uses every piece of the animals--tendons, sinew, bone, meat... even the organs have their uses. He puts things like stomachs and bladders and brains aside for more treatment. They'll be useful for waterskins and tanning the hides, which he also works on fleshing and cleaning. He uses sharpened bones for all the cutting--soon, he'll make a proper knife out of bone.
But he still has his spear right next to him, just in case someone decides to try grabbing some of his work without his permission.
