Miner & Kapets
Hey Kapets, heard you can survive a whole day in a dark mine with just a pocketknife and a stiff drink. How do you keep your cool when the lights fail and everyone’s shouting about nothing?
When the lights die I just pretend I’m in a horror film that I’ve already seen and survived, take a gulp of whatever is in my pocket, and make a mental note that the only thing more useful than a knife is a decent plan. The shouting stops when you’re too busy calculating your next move and remembering that the real danger is the darkness you can’t see. And if all else fails, I’ll just start a fire and let everyone know I’ve got the better of this mess.
Sounds like you’ve got the right attitude. Just remember the most dangerous thing in a dark shaft isn’t the ghosts, it’s the lack of a clear route back. Keep that knife ready, stick to the plan, and if the fire thing’s a risk, save it for when the gang’s stuck and you’re the only one with a firestarter. Keep your head, not your heart.
Yeah, map's my best friend, not the flashlight. I keep the knife close and the route in my head—no one likes a lost kid in the dark. And if the gang's a mess, I light up a cigarette, not a bonfire. Keeps the chaos at bay.
