Paradiso

Please, let me feel useful here?

If anyone needs anything sewn or knitted or woven...or needs me to cook, please just ask. I want to help,

So...I guess I'm pregnant!

[Arva]

Right?

Hey, how's my favorite student? I didn't see you at the bonfire. In fact I've barely seen you at all in a few days. Is everything alright?

Hey.

Banner

How are you getting on here? Haven't spoken in a while.

Ray

It still stands! And I think I'm getting the hang of braiding rope.

Adrian

I heard a rumor someone is making alcohol.

Sara

Rematch?

So I'm currently working on creating a makeshift deck of cards. Who's in for poker?

Aaaaand, I'm done. Right down to the fireplace. ...we'll see how well it holds up the first time it rains, if it ever does, but for right now, I'm feeling pretty accomplished. You should come out and see it.

So, this is what I've gleaned from speaking with Arva that I figured would be worth sharing, if even just for future reference.

We already know that, according to Arva, she will only allow conception when both parties are on board for it. In addition, I learned that she's somehow going to be shortening the length of our pregnancies. I'm not naive enough to assume that all of us are human, but since I mostly am, for reference, my normal biology would dictate 40 weeks. Arva says three months.

Also, I asked her about those of us who wanted to contribute to the effort toward repopulating but weren't really ready to be parents and she said that we can choose to give her the child to raise herself.

So...I just thought I'd share; we have flexible options and I figured some of you might want to know those options whether for now or for later.

I don't want to hurt you any more.

You thought you were doing the right thing. I get it.

I don't really know what I expecting when I accepted Arva's invitation to come here, but I have to admit, this far surpasses any expectations I could have ever had. This place is beyond amazing and I'm really excited to have a chance to be part of something incredible.

My name is Barry Allen and I'm a scientist. I'm also pretty strong and superhumanly fast so I'm happy to help with building and hunting and whatever else I can help with.

So, fun fact of the day. There are bears.

If you don't like bears, don't go for a walk alone. Because there are bears.

I'm just clarifying that you all understand; bears. Not little bears. Big bears. Brown bears. Big, angry brown bears. I mean, there might be little bears but if there are, they're babies and that means that big bears are near by.

Thank god. Bears are exactly what we needed.

MALIA.
Hey, I don't want you going out there alone anymore. If you need something, tell me.

LYDIA.
If you need anything from the jungle, I want you to tell me. I don't want you going in there alone, and I don't want Stiles doing it either. It has nothing to do with having faith in him or anything, it's just when you have a regular person going against a bear, a bear is going to win. We don't know what else is in there.

And I finished your combs. I made a couple of them just in case you snap a few. ...And I know that you've been down and annoyed with the lack of hair care around here so I was able to make coconut oil. I heard it's really good for conditioning? I don't know. I just thought it might help.

In light of this information, I'd like to propose some recommendations:

1. No one goes out in the jungle alone.
2. Or at night.
3. Hunter/fighter types have a meeting about camp security.

Ideas?

Fucking pushy, bossy yet kind of hot wolves

So. Poker.

Deus, eu odeio computadores. I'm not very good with tech, so I'll keep this short. Hi, my name is Derek and I just got here. Arva said it would be safe and I don't really feel like playing any bullshit games, so right out of the gate: I'm a werewolf. No, I can't turn you and I wouldn't even if I could. No, I don't turn into a killing machine on the full moon. Yes, I can completely control myself. Yes, I can turn into an actual wolf, so if you're hunting and you see a big black wolf in the jungle, please do not shoot it; that hurts and I'd rather you didn't. I think that probably covers the werewolf FAQ?

What it also means is that I'm strong, fast, heal a hell of a lot faster than people do, have heightened senses, I can hunt for food, and I can transfer pain. What's that mean? You get hurt, I siphon out the pain; I heal a lot faster than you will and everybody's happy and safe.

Questions for me? I have a question for you...where's the main camp? Is there one established yet or no?

I need you to stay out of the woods for a while, okay? It's not safe.

I need to see you
