//I know thats probably not the best way to describe it but its what I had in mind when I drew the dress//

The machine poked his head out of the cave, shielded by an umbrella. Using the items in his pack he had managed to create coverings for his body. A simple cloak protected his body, while the umbrella covered his head.

The cloak also had a hood, but it limited vision and was thus something he did not want to use unless he had to. As long as he was protected from the strangely intense sun rays it was fine however.

He walked over to his camp he had abandoned earlier when he was running from the sun and prepared himself some food.

He tried a simple meal of meatballs.

He ate it quickly, and then frowned as he found it did nothing to satiate his hunger.

The hunger he was feeling was more intense than before. As if his tanks were almost empty.

He then tried other foods. Perhaps he was simply still hungry. He tried a sandwich, stew, and ratatouille.

The other two dishes he had been able to eat, but the last vegetable plate he spat out. It almost tasted like monster meat.

He worriedly poked at his mouth.

He had noticed that two of his teeth had become pointed over night. Were they an indication that he couldn't eat plants anymore?

He sighed irritatedly. He was certain this was a gray face curse of some sort. He had been cursed while asleep however, so he wasn't sure of everything the anonymous had done to him.

He gave a harsher sigh and stood up. 

It looked like he would need to go out to find answers. He loathed to consider it, but perhaps another survivor would understand what sort of curse he had been afflicted with. 

While he felt faintly satisfied by it, he was troubled by the fact that it did not seem to help his hunger at all.

As the sun began to rise, he began to feel uneasy. The light coming over the horizon felt hot.

Rising, he grabbed his pack and ran almost panicked to the entrance of a nearby cave.

He he paused at the cave entrance. He berated himself for being afraid of the light. There was nothing dangerous about it, right?

He waited a few moments as the sun continued to rise, and then uneasily lowered himself into the dark hole a bit. The higher the sun got the hotter it seemed to get. At the temperatures he was feeling, he could overheat in just a few moments!

Soon he was ducking completely inside the cave. As he hung on the rope, he gingerly stuck out his hand, and then brought it quickly back in. It felt like summer, but twice as hot out there!

But, any spot in shadow felt fine he quickly discovered as he tested the light rays with a finger.

He frowned wondering if this unusual occurrence had anything to do with the odd hunger he felt as well. He was beginning to think it was related somehow.

He lowered himself into the cave, and began to work on ways to cover himself. Odd condition or not, he still had to go foraging and hunting for himself.
