🌟 Keepsies 🌟 - Strange Swamp

this booth is now closed! thank you!

After a few days of candy hunting, a fellow keepsie tells you about a great place down beyond the road that holds tons of generous, candy-giving fellows. You're not too sure about it as it's not a path you're familiar with, but you decide to go tonight anyways.
As you move further towards the goal, you pay zero attention to your increasingly more rural surroundings. It's pretty cold and getting late, but you can't just turn back now after this long. Continuing on the journey, you walk...
and you walk...

and you walk...

...

Uh oh. You look around and realize you are dead in the middle of a swamp, unable to recall where you came from. Looks like you have to find some way out before it's too late...!

don't leave me behind!

This is a bonus temporary booth for week 2 of keepsie's Fall Festival Event.
There is no item/starbit/trinket reward. This booth only distributes keepsies made specifically for this booth.

DAY 1
With no way to remember where to go, it's up to you to make the first move. While thinking about a valid plan on how to trace back, you hear a suspicious twig snap. How would you investigate this? Would you approach it head on? Sneak up on it? Make yourself known? Or would you flee?

DAY 2
Still scared out of your mind, you realize pointlessly wandering has led you nowhere. Getting tired, its probably a great idea to stop and rest. Sleeping out here is way too scary... Why not kill some time instead? Out of boredom, what do you find yourself doing out here? braiding grasses? playing chess by yourself with rocks? playing with the water?

DAY 3
You have a bit more hope now that you've calmed down. Taking a few steps further, you hear a splash in the waters and look over to see... a piece of...candy? floating in the river? Surely you're not far off. But the real question is... would you... eat the candy...?

DAY 4
Continuing further and further, or closer and closer, however you look at it, you stumble upon a little shack! Inside, there's nothing much but cobwebs and a few tools. Picking up the hammer, you realize you're bored enough to fix up the place a bit. Tell me how you'd change it up! would you simply patch it up or tear it apart to make something new? if so, what would it be now? something useless or a cool structure?

DAY 5
As you continue counting the hours and chilling around your new hideout, you notice a bunch of little bugs crawling on the dirt outside. are you scared of bugs? if not... would you play with them... or eat them... or give them a little bite of your candy?"

DAY 6
You've been out here for a while. There's not much else to do but keep walking, so i'll ask you a question directly... From the trees of course. You don't know who's speaking. Sorry if that scares you. What's your favorite candy?

DAY 7
You finally reach the edge of the swamp, finally back at where you came from. You look at your watch... November 1st. You missed the halloween festivities entirely. Darn. Accepting defeat, you make it back home with nothing but that waterlogged candy you found earlier. Are you happy?

★ Response: If I heard a suspicious twig snap, I’d stay still and observe carefully from a safe distance. I’d watch for any movement, listening closely and taking note of anything unusual, trying to figure out what caused the sound before making a move. I’d stay patient, letting the situation reveal itself slowly, and only consider approaching or retreating once I had a clearer sense of what I was dealing with.

★ Response: well, i honestly wouldnt do anything at first. i would pause. if im by a tree and the sound didnt sound like it came from above me, i would climb it to get a better vantage point. if im not by a tree, then i would drop down, hide myself in the foliage, try and cover my scent with mud. id rather be gross and muddy than dead. once i know what im dealing with, then ill decide whether to make myself known, flee, sneak up on it, or face it head on.

wilson finds himself completely
lost after todays trove mission.
staying on the edge of the swamp, he cautiously
feels his way through the dark with only his
sparkles lighting the way
twig snaps
WAHHHH RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!
THE SWAMP BEAST HAS COME TO
GET ME, IM AS GOOD AS DEAD!!!
he screams, to no one but
himself. after some time running
wildly through the swamp waters,
he slows down again
he approaches a small island amidst the dark waters
ok i've definitely lost the beast...
maybe i'll just set up
camp here for the night...
he gathers wood from the surrounding
trees and shrubs, eventually lighting
a fire with his claws.
he hears a twig snap again.
fearing for the worst,
he jumps over the fire he just set and rushes
into the swamp waters once more
STAY AWAY YOU FOUL BEAST!!!
but as he looks back towards the lit fire,
the only thing he can see is dirt, mud,
and a single broken stick
right where he was standing

a sharp crack splits the air -- it's me, i have snapped a twig back to assert dominance. the sound carries through the trees, but it isn't mere noise. it is a declaration, proud and reckless. there can only be one twig snapper 'round this part of the swamp.

this is sooo not where i wanna be right now! she exclaims, shivering and kicking mud off her paws .

upon hearing the twig snap , valentine pauses and listens . taking a thorough look around and not spotting anything , she lowers her body and keeps moving forward . it was probably nothing .. just an animal honestly .. she reassures herself , audibly scoffing . ill be there soon and get the candy a sweet girl like me deserves !

★ Response:

In order to investigate the twig snap, I would first stop in my tracks and crouch down, basically go stealth. I would slowly move behind a tree, bush, cover my self in foliage, etc in attempts to hide/disguise. After doing so, I will wait out to see if whatever made the twig snap will reveal itself. Depending on what I'm dealing with, I will decide what to do! If the cause seems to be innocent and safe, I will approach it. If it seems dangerous and gives me a bad gut feeling, I will flee silently.

mick ignores the sound of a breaking twig, it's a small animal, they think. but... they aren't sure. they've never actually encountered danger face to face in the woods, and they don't feel like doing so right around halloween.

but they're not a wuss, and instead of hiding right away, they carefully tread towards what they believe was the source of the sound... to find nothing. not a broken twig, or any animal. they look around a little more... yeah, no, their sight and hearing aren't the best. they assume they must've imagined it and continue contemplating their next move... since their cellphone's dead.
