1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

Clint likewise checks his own pockets but doesn't stop there. He checks his boot to see if his knife is still there. It is.

Other items include a full ammo clip with no gun. Half a power bar which has started to melt. Oh and a standard military issue bandanna.

"Yeah. C'mon," Clint says, just picking a direction and starting off that way.

*you* have the coolest icons, srsly

[smash_stuff]

Bruce follows behind Clint through the sand. There was no telling how long they had been out, he already felt overheated. At least he was still sweating, if that stopped then he'd definitely be in danger of heatstroke.

"Not even a footprint..." he commented as they kept going. They must have either covered their tracks or the wind and shifting sands took care of that.

i love them! i wish I could say i made them

[broadheadquarrel]

"There wouldn't be," Clint grumbles. He's been out on a few too many desert ops for his liking. "Look for scrub brush, even if they look dead, we find the right ones they sometimes store water in their roots. Keep any eye out for dry riverbeds too," he tells him.

Yeah, he might have been stranded out in the desert once before. Doesn't mean he likes it. Certainly doesn't like it after getting the crap beat out of him. It's not quite a limp but he's favoring one leg over the other.

[smash_stuff]

Bruce nods, he'll keep an eye out. Speaking of looking, he can see you favoring that leg, Clint. "Your leg alright?" What he wouldn't give for just a stick for a splint.

...were those buzzards circling already?

[broadheadquarrel]

"Could be worse," Clint answers, which means, no, it's not alright. He'd be more interested in having a bow and some decent arrows because if those are buzzards, they can be dinner.

He does see something faintly hopeful, a rock formations which can mean shade. "Got something," he announces.

[smash_stuff]

They couldn't be that lucky. Bruce feels like he's dragging already in the hot sun. He squints at the rock formations. Hey, anything was better than sand. "I see it too." Better that they both saw the same thing, the last thing they needed was to start seeing mirages.

It was going to be a long time before that sun even got close to setting too.

[broadheadquarrel]

The rock formations are high enough to offer shade, if nothing else. Something else Clint is hoping to see when they near it is natural basins in the rock, there's always a slim chance water will gather in them.

"Can you tell which way the sun is going?" he asks. He'd rather they set up on the side with growing shadow rather than retreating.

[smash_stuff]

Phew, that's a relief. Bruce wipes his brow again with his handkerchief, trying to squint up at the sun. "I'm...not sure. Hang on."

He picks up a dry stick, putting it in the sand on the line between shadow and light. In a minute, the shadow has receded back from the stick. "That way."

Man, is it hot. Has he mentioned that?

[broadheadquarrel]

Clint raises a brow in approval at how he figured that out. Science guys can be useful when they're not giant green rage monsters.

"We should wait until sunset before we try to find water or... move," he says as he heads up to the shaded side of the formations, looking for a good spot. Maybe even a spot with a plant.

[smash_stuff]

"I'm for that." Bruce follows behind, plopping down in the sand on the shady side. At least that's some relief. It was probably over 100 degrees in the sun, less in the shade. Now that he can be out of the sun slightly, Bruce takes off his top shirt, leaving just the thin undershirt on.

"Too bad we don't have a sundial." It would be nice to know how long till sundown. Those buzzards overhead weren't any help either.
