Just as she thought, the box had been a bad idea and she had tripped and fallen off of it fairly fast. The supply box was still out of her reach and she wasn't sure if she'd ever get it at this point.

Finding a rock near by, Greta kicked it over and tried to balance on top to reach the box to no avail. She shrugged and turned to smile at Monica. "I'm doing well. How are your arms?"

[ the yard ] Was Greta implying something about Monica's arms?
...actually, it would be totally fair if she was implying something. She had to keep reaching upward for this. It'd been her chest that'd sustained the most grievous injuries from...well, earlier. Anyway, it'd been long enough that Monica was actually feeling fine now. "Better than my dizziness," she admitted grumpily. "At least you can sorta talk again!" But Monica wasn't going to let Greta just ignore her own injury.
Still, that reminded her that she had someone else to mind now. She watched Mia with narrowed eyes. Would Monica be any more successful if she tried the same thing? Maybe if she jumped and used the remains of her other box to try to get at that box up there...

And she was nowhere closer to getting what she needed to. Maybe she should just give up and go try to work out somewhere. Her arm obviously couldn't handle all the stress she was putting on it. Maybe if she came back later it would be easier for her, but then maybe someone else would get it by that point.

Trying hard again, Mia just kept finding himself far too short to be able to get it. He even tried the other box and frowned further, shaking his head and just feeling completely useless.
"Maybe I should let other people try." He sat down and watched the other as she attempted to get it, silently wishing her luck where he had none.

Monica plopped down right next to Mia, weird as he looked, the moment her turn was over. "Don't give up!" the tiny girl gasped. "Persistence is key to victory!"
She paused. That had been what she and her team had kept telling each other, way back when, you know, drag racing still mattered. "If we all try, then one of us is bound to get one of those boxes eventually. And we'll all clap when someone finally does."
(It didn't seem like she'd really taken Athena's advice into her heart.)
"So...where're you from?" she asked, to pass the time. They were watching Diana now. She was struggling just as much as the two of them were. "I mean. Where were you before all this?"
A pause. Had they missed something? Oh yeah! "I'm Monica, by the way!" She skipped back up onto her feet. Time to try again...right? Maybe if she gave it a running start she could jump more easily. That was sound logic, right?

She could feel people watching her now as she tried again. It made her a bit nervous to feel eyes on her, so much that when she tried to climb up the pole again to reach the box she barely even made it a few inches before falling back roughly to the ground. Sighing and shaking her head, she plopped down next to the other two to take a small break.
"So...how is everyone today?"

"Hey! Diana, right?" Monica grinned. "I'm doing pretty okay. I got...kind of banged up earlier. I'm still woozy from that. But I think I'm better off than some other people are."
She shrugged. "How 'bout you?"
She headed back over to the boxes while she waited for an answer. Maybe she could...throw her parachute at the longer box? It was a bigger target, right?
...to her surprise, it actually knocked the long box from its position. She darted over to pick it up, and then opened it carefully.

"Ah yes! Sorry for just sort of showing up and speaking to you," she blushed, a little worried she'd invaded on their conversation. "I hear you on being banged up. Can't move my arm at all. It's just sort of there at the moment." Sort of there was just the half of it. She was in a lot of pain, but she'd been trying her best to ignore it in order to go after the boxes, though she was still glad someone had gotten one.

Upon opening, the box revealed a fishing rod!

Monica now has a fishing rod! It does 2d6-2 damage!
Noah was beginning to feel the effects of less food and water due to the prison running low on supplies. She wasn't parched but it was a little more noticeable than a couple days ago. Maybe it was just her mind playing tricks on her. The girl needed to get it together. Deciding a good way to get her head out of her--place that doesn't shine, Noah headed over to where boxes hung from the ceiling. Maybe she could get one?

One more attempt and then she would be done trying. Her arm was hurting to the point of not being able to focus, and she didn't need to keep straining herself even if she did really want the box. It was worth it, but she didn't want to have to hurt herself more. She hopped up one more time in a last ditch effort and failed yet again. Looks like there wouldn't be a box for her this time.

Seeing her actually succeeding in getting the long box made Mia want to try even more, so back to jumping he went.

A sigh escaped his lips as he pushed his sweaty blond hair out of his eyes, pacing around in a circle before jumping up again, really trying to grab it with the very tips and ends of all of the digits on his fingers.

He was SO CLOSE. Mia kept brushing up against the edges of the shorter box, but due to his height and how high up it was, it seemed almost impossible.
He had to keep trying.
