Mission:

Slipping his hands into his pockets, his shoulders would hunch forwards as he trudged through the sand keeping his hood up. 'come on keep up... I hope you’ve brought plenty of water with you. Things are gonna get pretty hot out here when the sun comes up' A smirk would crawl along his lips at his own thoughts as he trudged along popping his cigarette back between his lip, seeking out an old patch that he used to know, far out in the wilderness. His equipment had been returned to his for the most part yet his funds had not. His stomach would gurgle before rumbling sending an odd sort of pain though his collarbones. Hunger he were used to, the institute had seen to that, though when he started to fade in and out of consciousness too much to play their games they would pump him full of fluids and nutrients via a surgical drip. After all with him dead they would be losing a play toy in which they could unleash far more torturous punishment upon than the others residing within the institute walls, even with his Kyoni poisoned into submission they still aided in his healing far quicker than others.

Pausing as something caught his eye he would take a moment, he wasn’t quite where he wanted to be just yet but taking a shortstop would be okay, wouldn’t it? He would shift over crouching down before shifting to a knee. Slipping out of his heather sack he would place it beside his frame as he looked over the stubby green plant before him. Carefully grazing his right hands fingers along the surface of a broadleaf before lightly lifting  it's tiny yellow flower
'immondsia chinensis, hn perfect.' His hand would move to the base of one of the leaves carefully pinching down as his other hand moved to hold the leaf itself, muttering to himself as he carefully removed the leaf making sure not to damage the plant itself of the leaf he held "When did you start growing on this side of town, little Jojoba?" More so mumbling his words as he kept the cigarette between his lips making sure not to drop it. Shrugging out of his jacket he would fold it before placing it atop his heather sack keeping it from the surface of the sand in the process before slipping his lighter from his pocket resting it on one of the leaves. Returning to the leaf he would grip it in one hand before placing his thumb over a small section before placing his fingers beneath the same section. Snapping the small chunk from the thick leaf, he would tilt both pieces saving the thick slow oozing plasma from dripping. Before placing the larger piece of the leaf down he would take both bits into one hand keeping the smaller half purposely lower. He would retrieve his lighter before wiping the open end of the leaf against his wrist removing the thick liquid wax like plasma from it onto his skin before flicking his lighter into life, carefully burning along the open bit of the leaf closing it, so that no more plasma could leak from it. Placing the larger section of leaf down with his lighter atop another one of the leaves he would use the open end of the small section to smooth over the glob on his wrist taking his time to coat his arm in the thick plasma before repeating the same action with the other arm, then his hands and face. Rubbing his hands together he would reach to coat his neck right around to the back making sure that all of the visible flesh had an even coat, a delight even to his Kyoni as a few burrowed close to the surface of his flesh to absorb the plasma, nourishing to it's touch, giving him a rather health glow even with the cigarette trapped between his lips. Allowing it to dry as he took the time to watch the sun peek over the horizon. A good matutinal action, having found such a plant before the arrival of the sun.  

Reaching into his bag he would remove some cloth and leather pouches along with an assortment of tin, the sound of the tin rattling within themselves flavoring the air. Taking one of the leather pouches he would place the bigger section of the leaf into it before carefully removing a few more leave's, just enough to fill the pouch without it becoming too cramped, alongside making sure the place still had enough left to thrive. His actions extremely meticulous in his undertaking. Placing his jacket inside his heather sack as a bottom protective layer so that his bottles of water wouldn’t crush his findings, he would place the pouches and tin's back inside, including the pouch containing the leaves before setting off once more, now freely protected from the harsh sun in his t-shirt, leaving his restraint scars on show. Much to his distaste however, wondering about in the jacket would make him use up more water than needed and he were sure that his restraint scars were already known to the ninja that followed him, along with some lie about how they were caused.

It wouldn’t take much longer for him to find the small patch in the shade of part of what might have been a natural wall quite some time ago, although he had been through at least another two cigarette's in that time. As he stepped into the shade he would look back catching sight of a couple of figures off in the distance. He would grimps having come from the same direction he knew that there were no shade out there and his cocky thought from earlier only made him hope that they would have enough water or at least suck it up and find some shade, hell come and join in the shade here. He didn’t really care, he already know they were watching him. Sighing as his stomach growled again he would turn back, they were not of his concern.

Stepping about he would forage along finding a range of berries and edible leaves, occasionally tugging out a plant or two for the roots they held dear. Only stopping when a select few really caught his eye, taking great care to sort and store them, from the closing the lid of a tin on some Grindelia fastigiata, along with placing some Acacia greggii and Eschscholiza californica each in their own tin's, placing them safely into his heather sack. A few pouches would follow after containing the likes of Sphaeralcea ambigua and Asclepias tuberosa. Stowing them safely in his heather sack.
'maybe I'll stop by the hospital on my way back... they're always in need of supplies.' He would drop to his rump popping a sweet berry into his mouth, savoring its flavour but not so much its texture, he would take the time to relax a good while in the shade before heading back, fulfilling his hunger and saving more for a later date, making up his mind to drop off by the hospital to hand in some of his foraging's.
