How does a person endure mandatory bed rest and maintain their sanity?

	A worthy goal, I've finished bringing myself up to date with the various archeological journals. I don't believe we've met. I'm Ramses Emerson. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I take a bold guess here: you are an archeologist? Brilliant. Have you searched the island yet? Tom Sully, nice to meet you. I've only been here for a few days. You've been here for a couple of months, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I am, yes. Egyptologist and philologist to be precise. It shames me to say this but I've been busy with other things and there has been so much turnover since I've arrived that it only recently occurred to me to try. I've been here since around the first of the year. Have you been made aware of the...oddities of the island and where people come from? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You should take a look at it. I'm texting with Amelia and she's explaining a bit about this place to me. But I think it would be good to see if her story works out, you know? Yeah, my brother told me a bit about it and I'm going back through the blogs here to search for information. Pretty crazy place, huh? You are normally a guy, yeah? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

So you've communicated with Amelia? You should be honored, the girl is quite reclusive. I definitely will in investigate the notion once I'm allowed out of this cursed bed.

Crazy, an accurate summation though the island isn't all bad. I met my wife here for example.

Yes, the island seems to have decided that Calliegh and I needed time in each others bodies. Given she's nearly five months gone with twins this has been a radical change and one I hope is over soon.

So what is your specialty? You're a scholar as well?

	Yeah, I am. She seems very nice. A woman met her, right? I should have written her name down. I'm glad to be here. The island literally saved my life. But, man, that must be strange. What does it feel like to be a woman? I've got a PhD in Xenoecology but my knowledge is broader, did a lot of interdisciplinary work at the research group I was working with.

So far I believe three women have met her, that I know of. Maria Stark, Micha Delmare, and my sister-in-law Bridget. Though the last one was more about Amelia wanting a peek at Bridget's twins than anything else, from what I recall.

It's cursed strange. I thought this belly wasn't so bad when I saw it on someone else, but when it's on you the blasted thing is huge! And the children are almost constantly active, though I suppose that is a good thing all things considered. My emotions vary minute to minute for no reason, I've already needlessly made an ass of myself at least once. If nothing else it is giving me an appreciation for what women go through whilst pregnant.

Xenoecology? So the study of alien life? You must be an adherent of Mr. Darwin's philosophies then.

Thank you. I shall talk to them.

You make me be thankful that I will never have that experience. Unless the same weirdness happens to me.

Darwin? Yeah, sure. ~~Is there~~ Which time are you from?

Xenoecology is the study of the interaction between alien organisms. Predetators and prey, parasites, that kind of stuff. My brother can explain to you in great lengths how boring it is.

My pleasure, you might wish to put out a all persons call on the network to see if there are any others.

I said something similar a few weeks ago. The island has a strange sense of humor.

It was 1911 before I arrived here. I'm British, though more of my life has been spent in Egypt and the Levant than back on the isle.

Interesting. I'm sure Archaeology would be just as boring to those who aren't interested in it. You're very different from each other yes?
