"So," Lillian let out a long sigh, "Do you think anyone is keeping track anymore of how long we've been here? I tried at the beginning, but I can no longer tell if it's been weeks, months, or how long," She put her head in her hands before looking back up, "Just definitely not days, it's felt like forever."

OPEN ONLY TO: MEMBERS OF GROUP TWO (IN THE EVENT)

Who knows what they would find wandering deeper into the jungles of this island. the vague direction is north, marking the way they had come so they would hopefully find their way back. after a full day of marching through uncharted territory, they found a safe-ish spot to camp for the night. wanting some privacy while not straying too far from each other, everyone set up their little area. leaned back against one of the huge trees, she found that while her body was exhausted, her mind didn't want to quiet down. then again, neither did the island.

after a while, her head turns to look at who had settled in not too far away from her. " hey. psst. are you still awake ? "

"Are you okay? You're not hurt are you?"

Their wet hair wrapped in an old shirt, Vala padded around the now cleaner concrete room. It was still a mess but better than the rest of the place. With only one bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, it was a tight squeeze, getting the whole group into the small facility, in the end sticking to only a few entering at a time. Easier to search without tripping over each other. They decided on quick rotational showers, making sure everyone got to take advantage of the working shower. "Seawater baths have nothing on an actual shower." They murmured, rummaging around the sparce bedroom. "Shower's free!", they called to whoever was next in line.

ariel's eyes, locked on the plane wreckage in the distance, were foggy.

she wasn't often given to introspection, and guilt even less so, but there was little else to do on the island. with minimal resources, any meaningful research was basically impossible, and running around following bugs would only tire her out when they survived on rationed food. thus, ariel often spent hours locked in the labyrinth of her own thoughts. she assumed they all did.

"do you think any of them made it?" she asked, apropos of nothing. "the other half of us, i mean. it seems wrong, that they didn't. i don't--" she paused. ariel had never been politically minded, and she didn't have the words for what she meant. "i don't like that i might have lived because of the seat i paid for."

she stared over the ocean, and wondered if the other half of the plane sat at the bottom of it. "i wish i had studied physics, instead," she said, glumly. "it would probably be more useful."

"Sam and Jack are literally meant to be, have you even read the fanfic?"

"You know... I'm not so sure I believe in this Nessie nonsense." Logan shrugged, and put her hands up in defense. "Sailors used to just draw what they saw! Okay? The Loch Ness Monster is 100% based on a whale penis. Whales stick those things out of the water while mating and just let them flail around. Have you ever seen one? Looks exactly like Nessie on the horizon. I'm serious!"

"That was the first plane I'd ever been on... I was always too scared to fly before this... ironic, isn't it?" Sitting on top of her mangled suitcase, back against a tree, Charlie stared at the still smoldering wreckage and gave a deep chested sigh as she cradled her new relocated arm in her lap and tugged her sweater tighter around herself. "I've never spent a night away from home, before..." Voice growing more quiet with each word, her eyes lifted to the sky above them. "Bet there's gunna be so many stars, though..."

"I don't believe in dinosaurs."

Of course Chuck "believes" in dinosaurs. They're not a total idiot. They're just trying to piss the other person off.

"We're never getting out of here, are we?" Her voice was barely audible as she practically spoke to herself. Anne had always been the kind of person who spent her life desperate to get as far away from home as she possibly could. But now, with the universe playing some sort of trick on her, she was desperate to go back. She looked to the person closest to her, hoping to get a response. "We've been here for ages. Are they even looking for us?”

"Not quite sure whose this is, but am grateful someone packed something entertaining." It was a bit morbid to think anything beyond what she said, so she focused her gaze upon the tattered and worn out crossword puzzle book. "4 letters, Garfield's sidekick. I'm afraid I was never into comics. Care to guess?"

"Oh shit, you actually did it! Up top," William praised.

"I know this is the worst time to tell you this but-" she trailed off, looking at the sheer drop below, "..I-I'm terrified of heights."

The plane crashed. Vala knew they held on for dear life, somehow making it out intact, but they just felt numb. Must be the shock. There were people all around them, survivors picking themselves and each other up out of the sand and the wreckage. All they could hear was ringing in their ears, the occasional word pitching through the tine.

I can't do this.

Taking advantage of the hubbub, they slipped away from the noise and the confusion. Wandering away from the group, Vala found themself perching on a small boulder tucked away in the middle of nowhere.

Snap. Their head popped up at the sound of snapping twigs, their hearing finally back again. "Hello? Is someone there?"
