woods & forests meme

it's quiet. your feet crunch on the twigs and leaves beneath your feet, announcing your presence to the little creatures hiding around you. sunlight filters through the thick tree cover above you, warming the faintly humid air it manages to breach. it's when you stop to take a deep breath that you hear it - another rhythmic crunch of feet, coming from somewhere else deep in the trunks around you.

prompts
1. a day outside: it's beautiful out, and you just wanted to experience what nearby nature has to offer. it looks like others had the same idea.
2. hiking: you're trying to get to the top of a mountain - whether you're physically capable of getting there or not.
3. camping: pitching a tent, building a fire, roasting marshmallows and hot dogs, trying to get reception on your phone, the whole shebang.
4. fishing: the lake hidden deep in the woods is a perfect place to fish in peace - or drunkenly attempt to fish with others.
5. lost: you were on a trail or within the limits of the park, and now you're not. got a compass?
6. trespassing: just because it's the wilderness doesn't mean you can go trampling around without regard for others. someone else, or something else, could be living out there.
7. hunting: the challenge of the hunt is almost as thrilling as the kill. what are you after today?
8. local legend: the sweaty old man at the gas station said there's something out there in these woods... what could it be?
9. ghosts: tragedy can strike out in the wild, and these woods have been here for millennia. spirits abound, waiting for someone to help free them - or someone to prank or terrorize.
10. injury: you thought you had things under control, but then the unexpected happened. you need someone's help; or, you find someone in need.
11. weather: rain, snow, heavy winds or blazing sun.
12. ruins: during your exploration, you come across the remains of a bygone era. what's inside, and who built it anyway?
13. make up your own!

[Well, he's been going out for more walks in the woods lately. Open to any of the prompts. Cross canon welcome.]

[During what Lydia had planned to be a nice hike in the woods in mid-afternoon, she came across an old, abandoned, creepy building that makes what was left of the Hale house and the general air of Eichen House both look like five star hotels or mansions. So, what is for either reasons of Lydia being curious, or for banshee reasons, (one of those reasons is far more likely than the other -- let's be real here) she walks inside the crumbling building to investigate.

She's stepping carefully, gently tracing fingers across the wall every so often, as she looks around. She assumes she's alone here -- at least among the living, that is. Because who -- aside from banshees -- would actually want to be here?]
