Paradiso

So I have found out something interesting about myself. I enjoy sex with women. But I still enjoy sex with men, and I think I'd like to have a baby, and I seem to be in the right place for that. So. Any takers?

All right. I have made a decision. I would like to have a homosexual experience.

Perhaps it's this island. Perhaps it's listening to everyone talking about all the sex that they're having. Regardless, it's something I've never tried, and since the opportunity is presenting itself, I would like to try it.

Any women interested in going to bed with me, please, let me know. Multiple applicants welcome, this needn't be first come, first served...

I'm wondering if anyone can help me. I'm told there are shelters standing empty, and I might be able to take up residence in one of them? Is this true?

I'm not sure what I expected, but a full blown beach and a tropical atmosphere wasn't exactly it. But, well, here it is. A bit like a vacation. Not that I've ever been on a real vacation.

I'm afraid I won't be able to settle without a proper understanding of the layout of this place. And, of course, I'd like to meet everyone. From what I understand, this community isn't particularly large as of yet, so that shouldn't be too difficult, I think.

Oh. Right. I'm Steve, by the way. Steve Rogers.

I've never been one to believe in a god, or gods. I do understand that a statistically significant portion of the population finds comfort in some religion or another, but I've never needed that. I take my comfort in facts and figures. Jane, on the other hand, was brought up Catholic. It doesn't seem to have made an appreciable difference in the way she approaches her job, but of course I don't have a "control Jane" who wasn't brought up in a religious household with which to compare and contrast the existing Jane (or a Maura who was brought up in religion with which to compare and contrast myself).

Here on the island, however, I'm told that there are actual gods, present, here among us! I have not yet encountered any of them, but others have assured me they exist. I am excited about the opportunity this presents, though, to potentially sit down and talk with them about how they feel about being gods. The other thing to consider is that all the information I've received about the island indicates that there are no laws, no leaders, and no religion. Can there be "no religion" when there are gods? Can gods truly be gods if there is no religion? I feel like I can barely sit still. If only Jane were here!

This island is gorgeous though. The flora, the fauna, the potential for study... it's all a rich tapestry and I feel so thrilled that I volunteered to come here and help out. I just hope there are not too many medical emergencies... my medical skills really are more suited to my role as medical examiner, and not so very suited to the living, as Frankie can probably attest...
