Who| James and Open!
What| Surviving the Arena and meeting a District kid
Where| Various places
When| Weeks 2 and 3
Warnings/Notes| Silent Hill spoilers, self harm idealization, basically this guy is screwed up
I - Week 2: The City
James has made due with scavenging long before the Capitol reaped him, as he carries around a weapon that feels oh so familiar: a broken steel pipe. And just like its counterpart in Silent Hill, it is caked on with blood and brain matter of whatever unfortunate monster he ran into. He also raids the supplies of dead Tributes, hoping to find a bite or two to eat.
Sunderland knows that District 3 isn't favorably looked upon but he's got to keep moving forward. He has to, not just for Mary's sake, but Clara's as well. He's grown to care about the District 10 Mentor and he's taken to leaving messages like "STILL HERE" for her to read. His delusions are less in between now that he's focused on surviving.
Any tribute he runs into, he will raise his salvaged weapon towards them before determining if friend or foe.
II- Week 3: The Forest and Mountains
A - Forest
"Okay...I'm kinda hungry," slipped out of James's mouth as he finished the last of the fish he caught along the way. He's gotten creative in ways to feed himself, stretching every salvageable scrap of food and water he could find. It's not like he enjoyed hunting the local fauna but the stomach was growling.
Wait, that wasn't his stomach. Sunderland tensed up as he saw one of the many monsters staring back at him, ready to pounce. Shit. Even with the revival mechanism, it still was painful to die and just as he gets the drive to live?! He's running and whoever he runs into just gets a fair warning of "RUN! IT'S COMING!"
No one ever said Silent Hill tourists were courageous.
B - The Mountains
By the time Sunderland gets to the mountains, whatever threat or tribute has long since passed and he finds himself facing the steep mountainside and the majestic castle ruins.
"Wow, if only Mary could see this," he whispered with a smile as he looked up. They were a simple couple when things were good, and of course they had plans to travel the world before having children. Mary's illness took that away from them and now only James could admire the beauty of it all.
As he explored the ruins, he calls out, "Anyone in here?" No responses, it meant that things were safe enough to make camp.
III - Closed to Rotor - Before the blackout
After pressing that strange button, James wondered about the Arena, hoping to find someone else to help. His thoughts, his memories were getting the best of him and Maria's voice was starting to echo in the mountains...
Going back to the Forest was probably not the best idea but there was only so much James could do before he considered going back to the city. But it's during this exploration that he spots a young boy, wandering the trees.
"Hey, are you okay?" Not the best starting conversation but it would do.
