Stranded... out there

[stockingfeats]

Disaster. Your plane crashed, your boat holed, your guide has left you stranded in the depths of the wilderness. Certainly, your surroundings are beautiful in their way, but we all know that nature is long on majesty and short on mercy. And unlike those guys on the Discovery Channel, there isn't a Motel 6 around you can pop into.

1. Desert. Whether it's cacti and hardpan, or dunes and sidewinders, you'd better find an oasis fast. And take care... it gets cold at night.
   
2. Jungle. Ah, the rainforest, that thriving hotspot of biodiversity! ...and just as many toxic compounds as there are species.
   
3. Tundra. Doesn't matter if it's Farenheit or Celsius, the thermometer is too many digits in the negative. But hey, at least there might be penguins.
   
4. Mountains. You might be hungry and windburnt, but the view is unmatched. Watch that first step, it's a doozy!
   
5. Savanna. Lions and termites and baobab, oh my... Never mind looking for food, you might be food if you aren't careful. And stay out of trenches with too many wildebeest.
   
6. Deep forest. The woods are quiet, dark, and deep. Do you know how to tell edible puffballs from Destroying Angel? Better learn quick.
   
7. Deep space. Maybe the ship has lost its engines and is drifting towards nowhere fast, or maybe it's a space station long abandoned, but you know what they say--no one can hear you scream.
   
8. Island. Let's face it, it would be nice, if it had been your idea to be here. Where did the Swiss Family Robinson find all that stuff, anyway?
   
9. Motel. Never mind, there is a Motel 6. No, wait--Motel 5? Oh boy. You really wish they hadn't left the light on, because nothing it reveals is something you want to see.
   

Problems:

1. Weather: It's turning for the worse and you need a place to hide.
   
2. Hostile wildlife: Whether it's looking for lunch or wants you off its patch, this is going to be a problem.
   
3. No luggage ...or anything else, including food, water, or shelter.
   
4. Hurt: Perfect time to practice making splints out of sticks!
   
5. Other! Listen, it's a big world, it has lots of ways to make you miserable.

[need someone to help you survive the night in any terrain? teach you how to hunt and gather so you're not left starving? show the ins and out of starting a fire from some scraps of wood and a spark? or simply just pick up all the slack because he's been Roughing It since he can "remember"

otherwise, he's going to ??? space. but he'll buy the motel room. they take rupees right?]

Say what you want, but Vader was a frighteningly good pilot as no one else would have even attempted to land on the ledge they were perched on, must less succeeded. The small ship - not his standard Fighter, but a smaller travel ship - was wedged into a space in the rock carved out by water long gone. It left them with a ledge to land on, an overhang protecting them from attacks from above, and a shallow sheltered scoop in the rock. It wasn't a cave - too small, too shallow, but it was sheltered and lined up with them disembarking.

Vader's breathing was almost lost in wind of the mountains. "We climb from here."

Re: Padmé Amidala (Skywalker) | Star Wars

[turnedforher]

Officially, Senator Amidala was on vacation home, and Jedi Skywalker was on a meditation retreat to recover from the battles on the front.

In truth, Artoo was running interference for them both, and the couple had taken a couple of secretive transports ending up in port, picked up by a landspeeder transport. They'd been taken out over the local savanna, during the wet season. It was beautiful and they'd been housed overnight in a treehouse cabin.

However come morning, their guide, transport, and most of their luggage was not there.

"This is kriffing fantastic." Anakin muttered under his breath.
