Not as far as I know.

There's not one in the chest, is there?

Permalink

No additional items or materials in the chest besides the ones he was already aware of.

Permalink

Nor do you, I suppose, have the materials to fabricate a saw.

Permalink

I don't think so?

Permalink

I will keep looking, in that case, but – have you tried stereotypical video game methods of lighting a fire?

Permalink

Like what. Rubbing two sticks together does nothing.

Permalink

Are they dry? Did you try – I dunno, twisting it around in the sand or something?

Permalink

They are not totally dry and I tried that for sparks and it did nothing.

Permalink

 

Did you find some food, in the end?

Permalink

Yep! he responds. I ate–

Frown. I ate what seemed to be an apple.

Permalink

Did you get your phone and check for signal?

Permalink

I – got my phone but did not check for signal – and, uh, no the thing is that I didn't check if the apple was poisoned, which in retrospect was daft.

Permalink

 

Let's hope you don't die then.

And – the wind totem, turned out to give me some wind elemental control, sort of. It was part of a quest and now I'm doing one for shelter. Hence fire.

This is really cool and really terrifying and can you consider being more careful? Like. Your mom told you to call her, if you need help in the wilderness? Can you do that.

Permalink

– Yeah, I was going to.

So he does, and finds out that apparently he needs a bendy stick and a shoelace and like a (not literal) ton of tinder. And firewood of various kinds. And his mother realizes that this sounds like a lot of effort but could he. In case it turns out to go below freezing at night.

Also what position is the sun in – she's going to try to work out what timezone he's in.

Permalink

It's probably somewhere past four. At least a few hours of timezone difference.

If he follows all those steps he eventually will have fire.

Permalink

It takes a long while. Really quite a long while. But he does finally get a fire.

Permalink

The fire: is hot! And also it produces light.

It's not night yet. In less than a couple hours it's going to be.

Permalink

Well that's a shame.

He makes sure the fire has appropriate levels of firewood and keeps materials nearby in case he needs to start it up again. Since he went to all this effort.

… How's the shark doing?

Permalink

Still in the same spot he left it.

Actually it's possible it's the exact same spot, and the apparent movement is just from the waves. The plagiarized "under the sea" tune remains.

Permalink

Can he telepathy it?

Permalink

That's a shame.

"What's with the theme music?"
