Paradiso

I wish I'd been prepared for my eighteen year old daughter to randomly show up a couple of months after she was born.

Is there an opening at the Infirmary here? I'd love to help if I can.

Well hello ladies... and gentlemen too, no one should forget any of you.

It's quite the lovely Island you've got here, love what you've done with the... palm trees. Very free form. I suppose hoping for a fully stocked bar is asking too much. That's fine, we'll work on it.

In the mean time, I am Tony Stark, most of you probably know me. If you don't, you will. It's a pleasure to meet all of you, until it isn't, and then we'll work through it. Though I'm certain we'll all get along splendidly.

Rose suggested that those of us who can cook offer lessons to the people who can't and it got me thinking that we should probably figure out who has what skills to offer to the group. And then also maybe set up some sort of weekly lessons where we exchange knowledge. Learning new things is an important part of building a society.

I can cook and obviously I have medical skills. I'd definitely be willing to share both of those things with the group at large.

So, Finnick gave me this idea. I can't be the only one here who can't cook worth shit and he said there are some people who are actually good at it. Would some of you who don't suck be interested in doing cooking lessons? We could make it a group thing, maybe have a different "teacher" every lesson, if enough people are interested. What do you guys think?

I don't like this normal healing crap. It was bad enough when I fractured my leg, but then I had a splint to remind me not to do too much. Now I'm just kind of laying around and I forget. Then I get up to do something and wow am I reminded.

Sorry if I've been a bitch. I don't have anything to occupy my time and I keep thinking about her. Which means I toss and turn at night and probably making your life miserable.

[ooc: this post is totally after the log with Barry]

That was a lot more pleasant than that teleportation thing Carter does, but still not quite what I was expecting for my night when the day started.

My name is Georgina Kincaid. I look forward to getting to know you all.

This place ain't bad, I guess. Nice to have some solid ground under my feet for awhile.

I guess I'm supposed to introduce myself or something. I'm Dr. Leonard McCoy.

Clark Sullivan-Odair was just born about half an hour ago. He's perfect. Chloe is resting now, but doing well.

Chloe hates me. Either that or the pregnancy hormones have finally sent her off the deep end.

She told me to stay away. Should I? Or should I try to apologize? even though I'm not sure I did anything wrong

We may have a problem.

There is no source of heat in the medical center. We have three expectant mothers who are due to give birth this week. If the snow keeps up, we'll need to figure out how to safely deliver those babies and keep both the mothers and the infants warm.

I'm thinking we can probably build a fireplace in at least one or two of the exam rooms in the next day or two if we work together. Barry's willing to help and he's got super speed on his side. I don't want to panic any of the women and Christine is also expecting, so she needs to stay somewhere warm too.


[ooc: I was trying to filter to people that Bruce knows would be capable of helping. If you want your character included, let me know and I'll happily add them :D]

I stopped by the community center this morning to make some coffee and discovered another bounty from the gods. Apparently they want us to have some leisure activities because there were a number of books and board games.

We'll probably need to build some additional shelves in the center to store them. Right now, they're on the tables. I know that a few people were working on cabinets and shelves already, but I'm not sure if there is storage space for the new things.

You've been replaced.

I really want chocolate.

Rogers offered to cuddle.

So when and where do you want me to drive that excavator, guys?

I'm feeling pretty pumped about this place and totally wanting to make it awesome.

It has come to my attention, thanks to a discussion with the lovely Felicity, that we could use a potential blacksmith here. After all, this is a very wet, and humid climate meaning the metal and tools we use will rust quickly; meaning they'll lose their consistency and begin to chip easily. So I think I'm going to begin plans for building a blacksmithy. I figure others will want to help, and I'll be glad for it as it will take a bit of time.

But, it'll allow us to build more complicated tools, as well as repair ones. Shears, hammers, even swords and shields but those are likely not as necessary. Long knives for cutting foliage, axes for gathering more wood. I imagine, that at some point, the gods and goddesses will stop just giving us materials, as they expect us to build our own society. So being self-sufficient will be necessary.

I'd like to try to build it close to a river, as well as a decent distance away from town just in case the forge has any problems. I don't need a large building for it, just a roof over the top, only thing that really matters is the forge itself, an anvil, and a way to heat things up considerably. I don't know much about blacksmithing, but I've seen it done quite a bit, and I know I have good hands that allow me to be accurate, so I know I can do it. It MAY take some practice though, but anyway... I think it'd be helpful.

Hello. I am Lagertha, formerly Earl Ingstad. I wish to introduce myself to the other servants of Arva. I have been told that this magic bracelet not only will translate my words, it will send them to others at a distance.

Bruce!

Fair warning. I'm annoyed. REALLY annoyed.


sorry

I think this is it, guys. Malia is having pains and I told her to meet me at the Medical Center. So whichever one of you....or both of you would also be cool....can come, meet me there.

Looks like we're having babies!

Hello? I'm Natasha. I was told to introduce myself so that's what I'm doing.
