I hadn't really thought that specific, but here we go:
Canned foods- As much as the Ark felt they could give up. The Council estimated that as long as the 100 rationed carefully the food could last them for 6-8 weeks.
Knives- You best believe that the Council had a hard time deciding whether or not these should be included. But, because they could not leave the minors completely vulnerable to any life on the ground, they decided to include them. They could also be used for cutting fabric, and coconuts and such. However, there was a limited supply to begin with, and after the boxes were opened by the Grounders there are only
8 left.
Sleeping bags- Although the Council was 86% sure that the climate of the island was generally warm, they could not be certain. So, they decided to send one sleeping per person.
Tarps- There are 15 tarps left in the boxes, and even the Council isn't sure how many they sent down in the first place. They really just stuffed as many as they could into one box.
Clothing- Again, the Council just stuffed a box full of clothing of all sizes for both genders. For the sake of making things easier in the roleplay, we're going to say that there's enough clothes for each person to have 1 complete change of clothing in their size. The shirts and pants are pretty plain, and easy to move around in, and all pairs of shoes are black boots. But, for the boots they each have their name attached to the laces, so that everyone is ensured to get one in their correct size.
Paper and Pencils- There are only 10 pieces of paper, and 4 pencils. They are to be used wisely, and the Ark's original intent was for the purpose of mapping. However, because the communication program installed in their wristbands aren't working (which will be explained further in Clary's next post) there is no way for the 100 and the Ark to talk back and fourth, so the children will not know this is what the paper is meant for.
10 Gallons of water- Again, this must be rationalized carefully, until the 100 are ready to boil their own water.
2 pans- For boiling water mainly, but the 100 may find other uses for these.
How-To Booklet- This booklet describes how to pitch a tent from the tarps, how to purify water (in case none of them know you have to boil it), how to start a fire, and how to use their wrist bands. However, the wrist band part will be practically useless, since it has malfunctioned. Now the wristbands can only transmit the health of each character to the Ark, and nothing else.
The boxes are about 4ft wide on all 4 sides, and 4.5ft tall, giving it a volume of 18ft squared.
@Justice_20 , Does this sound good to you?
