week 1 - hiro - friday post-investigation

[completelycrazy]

[Hiro has been at the top of Newt's post-investigation check-in list since he disappeared after the whole "head on a spike" thing. Newt's glad his buddy vanished because that means he probably didn't spend much time examining a mutilated corpse, so that's cool, but... now Newt can't find him. He's checked the huts, the beach, even the jungle paths, and no dice. Where is he?

So, it's later in the day when Newt shows up at the cavern. In retrospect, he should've come here earlier. It's Newt's favorite spot on the island, and it's a bit out of the way from the general chaos of the hut area.

He peeks into the mouth of the cave.]

Hey, Hiro? You in here, dude?

It doesn't sound like a bad idea. [It sounds like a terrible idea, but #science.]

Cooking oil for a store we don't have. If one person asked for that and another person asked for matches we could probably rig something together. It can't hurt to ask. Until then, we should probably focus on other stuff. With Haru gone...you know what comes next.

[Newt nods. Hiro's right; they shouldn't get too swept up in this stuff, not right now.]

Okay. I'll see if I can get my hands on a flashlight, and once we figure out what we've got to work with, we can revisit. Until then, uh, yeah... We should focus on the trial.

[At this point, it's probably getting late? idk time is a construct.] You want to head back?

[zerotohiro]

Probably not a bad idea. C'mon. [Let's walk away from the weird ominous pool and weirder, more ominous cavern for now.] Maybe if we do well they'll even give us two flashlights.
