Futuristic ARK: Survival of the Fittest (Closed)

"Now do we have any bones from dinosaurs or anything relatively straight and sturdy?" Vera asked.
 
"I've got wood," Jack offered, "And we can probably make something with fiber." He seemed to be following Vera's line of thought, "Or strips of hide to hold it in place..."
 
"Great, lets make something to keep it from moving then," Vera said as she used wood to put on either side of the broken leg, "Strips of hide would be better."
 
Jack nodded and started cutting hide with his hatchet, "Roan, help me," he instructed Roan to hold the planks of wood very still while he and Vera tied the hide around to keep it together.
 
Roan offered his help, holding the wood still as they tied Anna's leg into a splint. Vera checked to make sure it wasn't going to move before speaking, "There. It should be good."
 
"It should," Jack agreed, "I don't think we're gonna be able to- narcotics!" He jumped across Anna to forcefeed the spino more of the stuff. Keeping up with that was a full time job.
 
"I'm gonna go get a mortar and pestle to keep mixing narcotics down here," Jack decided, since they were having trouble keeping up. "Roan, you good? She's not dead."
 
"Yea," He said, adjusting her and laying her back down, "Just worried you might have stepped on her. "

Vera smirked a bit, "Uhuh. Sure."
 
Jack nodded, "Okay then," he went back to the fortress to assemble the materials he needed and came back a few minutes later to lay a mortar and pestle down on one of the chairs and start mixing more narcotics. "You've been acting different around Anna since she broke her leg," Jack noted, "Her too." He wasn't entirely oblivious, just mostly.
 
"I've just been antsy," Vera said before giggling, "I bet I know why Roan is acting weird."
 
"And why's that?", Jack was feeling a bit stupid now because he didn't know something that seemed obvious to Vera.
 
"I think he likes her," She said inna sing song voice, making him blush, "He's always smiley with her and jumps at the chance to be around her."
 
Jack wasn't quite sure what to make of that. "I thought we all tried to help each other." Evidently the concept Vera was relaying had never connected in his brain. "So what if he's friendly about it?"
 
She shook her head, facepalming, "He likes her. Like. Feelings?"

"Shut up," Roan sulked
 
The meaning was not conveyed. "I don't undersand," Jack shook his head and sat down, "Do you think she's gonna wake up tonight?" Probably not, her torpor bar wasn't shrinking nearly as quickly as the spino. Speaking of, Jack got up to pour more drugs down its throat.
 
"Probably not," Roan said, looking at Anna, "Itll probably be tomorrow."

Vera hummed, "He might be clueless but I know the truth."
 
Jack had already decided he didn't care where this conversation was going. He didn't understand what was going on, so he didn't bother with the conversation.
 
"So, how long do you it will take for her leg to heal?" Roan asked.

"Who knows?"
 
"When you and I took that tumble off the cliff," Jack pointed down the slope they'd tumbled, "We were okay the next day. Anna's been like this for two days, so I'd say at least two more."
 
"Shes been like this for a day. She got hurt late last night," Roan corrected, "So then what? Three days?"
 
"Maybe," jack shrugged, "There's not much we can do about it in the meantime, though."
 
"Well.. two of us can, one would have to stay to make sure she's ok." Vera commented, "Except today. We're all working on taming this big dumb beast."
 
"Speaking of." If taming every large carnivore on this island was like this Jack would be tempted to just pump melee damage on the spino and go kill them all before Roan could get them killed trying to tame everything he met.
 
Roan glanced at the dino, "If I knew it would take this love, I'd have killed it. But now we have wasted a lot of time ans resourced we can't kill it."
