Stolen Hardcore from Mayfield

[pain_split]

They have a meme going right now so I'm just going to leave this RIGHT HERE. Cause LAWL.

"Go here and play Oregon Trail online! Then leave a comment telling a running commentary on the crazy hijinks your wagon party has been up to, add your own little 'spin' to it, tell a story, etc if you want.

Obviously the sillier the wagon parties, the more fun it will become!

IF you don't want to play THAT version ,you can also play a more modern version where your characters are on a roadtrip! Here!"



OH I AM SO EXCITE.

Jade tries going hunting while they wait for Armonde to recover, but between poor terrain and scant wildlife Jade only manages to catch about 60 pounds in two days. Milla finds some wild fruit, possibly in an attempt to cheer Jade up, but since Tarvek comes down with a fever immediately afterwards, this doesn't work.

Jade manages to trade nearly two hundred pounds of their dwindling food for another ox, on the basis that they can get to the next fort to buy more oxes and food faster this way. Dist comes down with a fever immediately afterwards. Jade...just...sighs. And goes hunting again. Milla finds some more wild fruit to help out.

They finally reach the fort, where Jade immediately replenishes their oxen and their food...but they've got very little money left, so they can't afford for anything else to go wrong.

Immediately out of the fort, Dist contracts the measles. Jade briefly considers taking up religion.

A lot of hunting is done, but thanks to being trapped in poor terrain, Jade has almost nothing to show for it. Then a fire strikes the wagon - Jade is fairly certain it's the gods trying to smite him personally - but all that's lost is two sets of clothing.

Dist and Tarvek sulk for days.

They make it to the Columbia River! Finances being what they are, Jade can't afford to take them along the toll road, so they float down the river.

...aaaaaand then the game reset. :| HOWEVER, they didn't crash, and presumably would have made it to Oregon at the end with no further loss of life or limb or clothing! Jade, however, probably went incurably insane.
