Well... this was a bit unexpected. I had not expected the climate to be so tropical, but it is quite lovely here.

Though I should probably introduce myself while I am on here.I am Mei Ling Zhou from the group Overwatch. I've come here to help with what I can in hopes of building a better tomorrow. My expertise lays with engineering and ecological studies. I have high hopes that we can get along and bring about a future that is much brighter than the past.

	Hello Mei Ling Zhou, I am Link of Hyrule and it's a pleasure to meet you and have you about. I think the camp could do with engineering, and obviously ecological is very useful here. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It's a pleasure to meet you as well Link. I hope that we can become friends. I do hope to be a great help to everyone. May I ask what do you do? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Currently I work mostly with some of the animals, and am in the very very early planning stages of building a potential blacksmith. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-01 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	A blacksmith? That would be quite interesting. If you wish any help, I might not know how to use a forge, but I'd be willing to learn. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Welcome, Mei Ling. I'm Octavia Blake. Everyone here is really nice and willing to help. There are some temporary shelters near the main camp where you can stay until you build your own place. If you want to, at least. I haven't bothered yet. I like sleeping outside. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Hello Octavia, It is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you. That is a good thing to know. Are the nights warm enough to sleep outside often? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	floored 2016-07-31 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Likewise. Yes, the weather here is pretty much perfect. I know that I'll eventually need a shelter in case that changes, but for right now, I'm enjoying the outside. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Welcome Mei Ling Zhou, I'm Luke. What are the Overwatch? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-07-31 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	Greetings Luke. Overwatch is a international peacekeeping group that is intent on making the world a better place. We were started to hold of the Omnic Crisis and help the world in general. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forcepowers 2016-08-02 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Not sure what the Omnic Crisis is but it sounds like a good cause. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-02 05:18 pm UTC (link)
	the omnic crisis was when the omnic robots attacked all of humanity. Overwatch was created to fight them and save humanity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forcepowers 2016-08-02 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. What's Omnic? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-02 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	Omnics are what the robots are called. They were made and maintained by the Omnica corporation. Oh! I was also hoping to speak with you about maybe helping with the sewage system? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forcepowers 2016-08-02 05:34 pm UTC (link)
	That makes sense! Did you win? Yes that would be brilliant actually. Wedge - he's a friend from home - found plans in an abandoned cabin so we've been working on it. Just slowly. Engineering... you'd be good at the construction part then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-02 05:36 pm UTC (link)
	We did. Now we have been trying to rebuild and recover. I would. I could also hopefully improve upon the designs or whatever else is possible. Just tell me when and where and I will be there! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forcepowers 2016-08-02 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	Great! Once you get settled ket me know and I'll introduce younto Wedge and we'll see what we can work out? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-02 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	That sounds perfect. I will look forward to it! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forcepowers 2016-08-02 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	I look forward to it too. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	phrynefisher 2016-07-31 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Welcome I'm Phryne. I know some people are working on digging a sewage system so someone with engineering skills might be of use with that? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-07-31 07:48 pm UTC (link)
	Oh! I would be happy to see if I can help. Thank you Miss Phryne (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	phrynefisher 2016-08-02 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Very much appreciated. You'd be best talking to Wedge or Luke, they seem to be in charge of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-02 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you. I've spoke with Luke a little here so I will ask him about it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	phrynefisher 2016-08-02 05:26 pm UTC (link)
	Of course. Goodluck Do you have a place to stay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-02 05:31 pm UTC (link)
	I do not yet. Someone mentioned temporary housing, but I have not quite found it yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	phrynefisher 2016-08-02 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	By the Centre of the camp. Have you found that? If not we can come find you. You can also bunk with people outside of temp housing too if need be. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-02 05:38 pm UTC (link)
	I've just found the camp thanks to Finnick. Thank you for the suggestion and I might look into it once I get to know everyone. Thank you for being so kind. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	phrynefisher 2016-08-02 05:43 pm UTC (link)
	Good to hear. He's good like that. It's no problem. If we're living together in a small community we might as well get on. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	dist4_finnick 2016-07-31 07:28 am UTC (link)
	Hi! Do you go by Mei, or Mei Ling? I'm Finnick. Welcome to Sex Island. Have you found the main camp? If you need help let us know. Someone can come and find you. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-07-31 07:51 pm UTC (link)
	I tend to prefer Mei but I will answer to either. It's a pleasure to meet you. Sex island? No,not yet. I probably could find it, but I would always be happy for an escort. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dist4_finnick 2016-07-31 07:57 pm UTC (link)
	That's just our little affectionate nickname for our island paradise. Because of the whole repopulating thing, and some of the unique ways that sex works here. Sure, I could show you. Are you on the beach? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-07-31 08:09 pm UTC (link)
	I guess repopulation is important,but how does sex work here? Is there some change that I haven't been informed of yet? Correct, I am. I'm by a rather large palm tree. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, the big changes are that you can't get pregnant unless both partners want to, and pregnancies only last three months. So there tends to be a lot of casual sex going on.

We're on the west side of the island, so if you just start walking in that direction I'll come down to the beach and meet you. You might also see some signs pointing you in the right direction.

	icy_passions 2016-07-31 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	That is useful.I take it that there is a like of STIs as well then so the need for protection is not required? Alright. I will see you soon then! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dist4_finnick 2016-07-31 08:24 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, exactly, Arva made sure those kinds of diseases are not a problem here. So no protection needed, and no reason not to sleep around if you want to. But only if you want to, it's not required or anything. Arva is big on consent. Yeah, I'll see you soon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-07-31 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	True, it seems only societal norms are the only restriction. But this is to be a new society as well.It will be interesting to see the choices we make without such physical restrictions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dist4_finnick 2016-07-31 08:31 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that nickname should tell you something about the choices that most people are making so far. Most people are enjoying not having those restrictions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	icy_passions 2016-08-01 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	Haha, that is true. I mean in long term. Will people still eventually choose monogamy or will relationships stay more open. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dist4_finnick 2016-08-02 08:01 am UTC (link)
	Good point. It seems kind of natural to pair up, and some couples have formed, but so far they're still open relationships. (Reply to this) (Parent)
