OK I'M SO GLAD I GOT THIS DONE ON TIME!!!! I've been working 7 days a week so I've been so exhausted and haven't had time to do much art or upload things I've finished, but I set aside some time for this because duh, it's the RRC!!

So first off, as per page 48, it seems like we are well into the first night of the characters being thrown into this thing. None of these guys have eaten anything or had any water to drink as far as I know, so now that they've got a little fire going it's become a bit of a "survive the night" situation. This is happening in the outskirts of Jump City, which is located in California, and California has lots of predators, including coyotes, black bears and brown bears, and mountain lions/cougars/pumas/panthers/whatever you call the Puma concolor.  They've gotta find some way to get fresh water and food if they're going to be here more than 3 days, or else they'll die of dehydration/starvation and that might put a damper in Tim's plans. (also, they're gonna be really stinky by the end of this, they have no means of washing their clothes or showering or even brushing their teeth. Furthermore, it must be awkward to try and go to the bathroom if you're always attached to someone and can't be more than like 10 feet away from them.) Now that Forever-Man and Penumbra have joined Skate and Salamander, they might be able to make a temporary structure to stay safe from predators while one person takes watch, and who knows, maybe the newcomers conveniently have food on them!! (probably not but hey who knows)

It's just more dialogue but hey we need dialogue to move the story onward. Skate and Salamander were tasked with spreading info about Tim and his gem, so that's what they're doing, while also seeing what these two know or who they've seen. Salamander knows Forever-Man so while she's asking him these serious questions, she's also more at-ease about it because of their history.

Not much else to say other than Forever-Man is a PAIN to draw. I love him but there's so much DETAIL and I didn't wanna leave anything out but he took the longest to draw out of all of them because I wanted to do him justice and I tried, I really did....

-Dialogue! (because I'm pretty sure no one can read my crappy handwriting)-

Salamander: Forever-Man?!
Skate: You know this guy? (They're not gonna kill us??)
Salamander: We've worked together, yes. (And no they won't kill us.)

Salamander: Forever-Man, what do you know about our current situation? Have you met any others?

Forever-Man: Not "met", per-say, but we've seen them, yes. Some are in pairs, but there are a few larger groups as well.
Penumbra: Some are fighting, too, while others are just talking or wandering around. Most seem to have powers, and it's a mix of heroes, villains, and neutrals. I'm Penumbra, by the way.

Skate: Yeah, this crazy guy, Tim Baskerville, brought us all here. (Oh and I'm Skate.)
Salamander: He has a gem that saps our powers through these bracelets, which also tether us to our partner.
Forever-Man: Lovely.
Penumbra: Well, we can continue reconnaissance in the morning. It's late, and we're all exhausted.
Skate: ...uh hey do you guys have any food? I'm starving.
