“I don’t know what happened- but I think I’m the only one left. Again...” 

“I’d ask if you want to stay until Felix comes back, but I think it’s dangerous here.”

*Half of you get impaled on an Entity claw and get revived seconds*

Quentin drops the box when he hears the screams and turns behind him.

“I brought Lee-san with me so she can help explain also, to prove anyone can do it, not just someone with muscles. though strong legs and arms help a lot!”

Ms.Lee nods.

“So those pallets are no easy thing, they’re really large with a lot of surface area and surprisingly heavy which can be a challenge to lift. I heard it’s why no one here at the campfire ever tried before I came. It wasn’t worth it for them to waste seconds in the race against death- but because I came from riding bikes, I knew that if there’s a crash, you want to get everything back up as quick as possible and out of the path.” 

“Sorry for the long story, but yeah, you’ll want to make sure you are engaging your legs more than your back and arms so you don’t put pressure on your spine or pull anything. This means having to squat, like when doing a deadlift. Keep your legs apart, and your butt needs to get low, but don’t bend your back at all! You should absolutely never be hunched over a heavy object. Now make sure you rest your arms on your thighs if you have to and get your hands and forearms under the the pallet. That’s the first step. Then you’ll want to position your body as close as possible to the pallet, this means needing to rock your weight under it with small lifts and adjusting your legs with a wide stance until the pallet is just to the elbows and over your thighs. Once you’re in this final position, If you can, take a deep breath to make sure everything is nice and tight- if you can’t because your belly is on your legs, be sure to take a breath before lowering- this means holding it for a while when positioning, but that can make you light headed, so when you rock your weight be sure to take in breaths before each lift. With your body nice and full with air, start to stand up. Be sure to not twist your body at all! Just focus on lifting your arms straight up once the pallet gets to your chest. You’ll feel it in your shoulders and biceps, but that’s okay, just never feel it in your spine, because you can slip a disk.” 

“It can be difficult at first... but it is doable. How often though, well you might need longer breaks in between for your body to recover.”

“Well, I guess a lot of it is natural. I eat a lot of protein and minerals. I also don’t use shampoo or conditioner with a lot of chemicals, because I don’t want to add stuff in that throws off what is a natural balance. If I come back from dry climates, I let conditioner sit in a little longer when taking a shower, but don’t drown it in the substance. Then I comb it after it all dries- naturally. I don’t blow-dry or only pat it when I use a towel, mostly if it’s longer- Then I dry the inside under parts more, since the top outer hair near the scalp dries faster.” 

“You don’t dye your hair much, do you?”

“It’s a good day to be alive, yeah? Bitte töte mich nicht.“

“Though I guess it works well, this killer always only goes straight after me ever since people decided to throw things at his face-”

“Oh no- Looks like I gotta go again!”

“I suggested the Get-Along shirt as a joke, but Kimura and Smith thought it was funny to implement... so there’s that as a social aide.”
