here lies kevin tran
Who: Kevin Tran and YOU.
Where: The Oregon Trail obviously.
When: All during the event.
Rating: PG probably.
Summary: Kevin only makes it to Day 2 before he breaks his leg, which rapidly gets infected, leading to his death on Day 3. And after he dies? What else does he have to do except heckle and critique everyone else?
The Story:
Day 1: Kevin spends the first part of the day grappling with the weird nostalgia that is being plunked down in apparently Oregon Trail Town, combined with the fear that they're about to go and live out, he guesses, the Oregon Trail. How screwed are they? And how many pounds of food is it per person again? How do you even prevent dysentery? Do they sell bottled water anywhere?
Day 2: They have to cross a river, and Kevin votes to caulk the wagon and float it across, all the way, thouh the guide is tempting, honestly. He never did it that way in the game because he has some self-respect, but maybe that's different in person.
Even though Kevin survives the river crossing, he manages to trip and break his leg, and it promptly gets infected. The infection's actually moving pretty quickly, and by the end of the day, he's not just in pain; he's shivering with a fever and chills and not able to keep any liquids down.
Days 3-5: Overcome with infection, Kevin passes away soon into the third day, and mostly he's just really freaking annoyed. At least he has some experience at being a ghost, and he figures out the new rules of ghostdom so he can visit his friends and survey (and critique) their attempts at traversing the trail. Actually, being a ghost is pretty fun. It's sort of like playing the game, except he doesn't have to make any actual choices and he just gets to heckle people to their face instead of to the computer screen. Though it does suck watching people actually get dysentery.

He still looks unconvinced and like he's pitying Dean, the tiniest bit.
"Yeah, we'll get there. I can't remember what the order of all the stops were on the trail in the game, but we can't be that far off."
With a sigh, he turns back to the wheel.
"As long as we can get the wheel fixed."

"You gonna stick around?" Now that Kevin's a ghost, he has more freedom to move... Of course, Dean would understand if he fluttered off, with how things are currently in their broken down wagon. With that, he moves to the back of the wagon, leaving the broken wheel for a bit and expecting Kevin to follow. If he can find some spare parts, or do as Kevin suggested earlier...
"Let's see..."
we can probs wrap this!
"Yeah, I can stick around." He follows after Dean, and he hopes that he can come up with some good ideas to help and get them back on the road.
