Project DnP

Life in the Outskirts.

Cover Page is a girl(Not Cynthia or Neiya) in the hospital. She's a survivor of the incident.

Pudd walks to the outskirts entrance with his new clothes ragged. "Stupid people. Attack me for baseless reasons." Pudd thinks. Before entering the Outskirt zone he looks back. "Neiya probably going to train to kill me. I should get back into shape. Haven't sharpen my skills up since Damai got arrested." Pudd tells himself. The gate opens and as Pudd walk into the Outskirt Zone the other 5 isolated people looks at him. "Hey you're back!?" one of them shouts happily. Pudd holds his hand in the air. "Yo!" Pudd shouts. "I thought you died! I got really worried that we haven't seen you in 3 days." a lady shouts.  Pudd gets a confident cocky smile. "You think angry Mobs can kill me!?" Pudd shouts as he does a comical pose. "No of course not. But you do have a bounty on you." the lady say concernedly with her hands on her heart. "Eh?" Pudd stop confidently posing. "How you know about that!?" Pudd remarks. "The past 3 days we got all sorts of people looking for you. All from different districts too. They really want the money you're worth." the lady tells Pudd.  A man walks up to Pudd. "But seeing as you're okay.  I supposed we was worried for nothing. Seems like you handled yourself." the man says. Pudd shakes his head. "Yea, I manage to lucky out against two of them from District 6. The second day I hid in an ally resting my wounds. The third day I stole some food. It tasted good." Pudd tells the man. The man hugs Pudd. "I'm glad you're ok. Us rejects must stick together." the man kindly says with a huge smile showing his teeth.

While hugging, Pudd sees a knife in the man's pocket. Pudd pushes the man away and gets angry. "Why the hell you have a knife!?" Pudd shouts getting ready to fight.  "It's for killing. As you may know we don't have lots of water or food." The man say pulling out the knife. The lady laughs. "Pudd did those normal people make you go crazy? Lee always had a knife." the lady jokely say. The lady puts her arm around Pudd. "Don't worry. If we didn't like you we could have killed you in your silly haha" the lady tells Pudd comically with two "X" where her eyes should be. The other 3 isolated people start laughing along. "Yeah Pudd you can trust us! We're a victim just like you." the 5 isolated people say. "Trust.....? I trust no one." Pudd calmly but scarily say. Pudd shruggs the woman aside and walks away into the forest. The woman follows him "Hey wait up Pudd!" she say. "Sutoka leave me be." Pudd mutter quietly. Sutoka falls while following Pudd. "Owww. I'm such a clutch." she say.

Pudd is in the forest sitting down thinking with his eyes close. "District 6. I know they was from there. When Damai and I traveled to District 3 we went through District 6. There we saw similar tech gear. It's tech is amazing. I would't be surprised if that big guy's strength came from some kind of tech-roids or something. That's differently wasn't naturally. Though he was a bit crazy. Must be a side-effect." Pudd thinks to himself.  Pudd takes a stick and carve all the Districts(In name format) in a list. "Everyday I should focus on a new District. Which should aid me whoever I fight. One thing I learned from R.H.G. is planning.". Pudd thinks to himself.

Pudd smiles and starts to laugh. "I'm a fighting genius! Hahaha! I should be able to beat anyone!" he starts shouting. Sutoka walks up on Pudd screaming. "What are you doing" She laughs. "Huh!?" Pudd turns around comically. "I said to not follow!" he begins to shout. Sutoka laughs. "I'm just giving you water. I know here we lack it. You can have some of mine." Sutoka tells Pudd nicely. "Keep it. I find my own water. How i know it's not poisonous?" Pudd tells Sutoka as he gets suspicious.  Sutoka places the water on the ground.  "Ok. If you say so. But every young man needs his water." Sutoka nicely tells Pudd before she walks off. Pudd gets an childish annoyed face. "Phew I glad she left.".  Pudd writes down a very short summary of the Districts. The districts reads. "District 1 Unknowed. District 2. Unknowed. District 3 Street Fighter/Common Fighting. District 4 Ancient Sword fighting. District 5 Unknowed. District 6 Tech Masters. District 7 comical fighting.". Pudd bangs his head onto the tree. "Some list this is! I really wished father would sent me to more Districts to fight in." Pudd complains. Pudd looks up at the spring sun. "It is about that time of year around here huh?" Pudd as he glances at the sun. He stares at the water on the ground.  "It has been three days since my last water. But I can't risk it! She might want to kill me for the bounty money. Or even worst eat me" Pudd stresses out. Pudd takes his pants off and is in his boxers. He puts his fits onto his hips. "Worst case, I'll just drink my pee!" Pudd thinks. After some thought Pudd throws up at the idea. After throwing up Pudd stomach growls. "It's just not my day is it? I can't live like this!" Pudd complains. Pudd looks up and see a birds nest. "It's not Cynthia's or fast food cooking but I'll take what I can get." Pudd tells himself. Pudd takes off his raggy clothes(Upperbody) and his shoes.  "This is oldschool. But you do what you gotta do to live!" Pudd thinks.  Pudd climbs the tree and falls. "Huh? I can easily climb trees what happen?" Pudd thinks to himself.  He looks up again. Pudd gets angry. "This is all her fault!" Pudd said as he without holding back punching the tree causing the nest to fall. The baby birds get scared and start howling for their parents. "Shut up! You should't trust your parents or even each other." Pudd shouts at the birds as he runs over to them. He picks the two baby birds up and places them in his mouth. He spits them in disgusted by their taste. "You two taste like stale chicken! Eek. Disgusting!" Pudd as he wipes his tongue.

Pudd holds his stomach as he searches for food in the forest. "I'm so hungry." He complains once again. He looks over to the brushes and see berries.  He walks over to them and examine the berries. "These are blue berries. Cyntha's favorite." he remarks. He takes all the berries and shove it in his mouth. "Yum! This great!" Pudd shouts with a stuffed mouth! Pudd swallows the berries. "Aye I feel great now. They even had water in them!" Pudd shouts. "Now to practice." Pudd as he gets into fighting position. Sutoka looks behind a tree and smiles.
