Paradiso

Guess I'm actually pregnant.

Right, so, good. Glad to see that everyone's having such a good time this week. Yay sex, amirite?

But I was kind of hoping also we could have a serious conversation as a community. Because we are a community, right? We're not just a bunch of people gathering here to go our own ways, we're in this together and we need to work together to get things done. At least, that was what I thought when I agreed to come here.

So. Ruby said something about it last week, and I'm going to bring it up again this week. We have several projects ongoing, right? What's left with the medical center? If I'm right we have our first babies arriving in about two weeks and we need to be ready for that.

Also, someone was working on a sewer system, right? Were they sent home? Not glamorous work but I'm definitely willing to help with that.

What else? What else do we need done? What do we need to make this island the kind of place we all want to live?

Hello, I hope that I'm doing this right. My name is Christine Chapel and I arrived on Saturday. I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner and I'm trained in both pre-natal and post-natal care as well as caring for patients throughout the life span. I've talked to a couple of the volunteers and I'd be interested in providing maternity care for the women of the island. I am trained to do almost everything that a doctor can do and I wouldn't attempt to do a delivery without physician back up. Especially if there were unforseen complications. I have never delivered a baby but I know how and I'm confident that I can manage.

If this is okay with you, I would like to set up something in the Medical Facility as soon as possible. I understand that you have provided pre-natal vitamins and if it would be easier, you can supply me with them and I can pass them out at the first visit. I hope you don't mind my asking this of you. I want to help in any way I can and I'm more than willing to do whatever you need me to do.

Hi guys. I sent a message to Arva asking her if I could set up shop in the Medical Facility and start doing pre-natal care with our expectant mothers. I'm a Family Nurse Practitioner so I'm trained in that kind of thing although I'll need backup from one of you when it's time for them to deliver just in case.

I'm not trying to step on your toes but I thought maybe the women would be more comfortable with another woman and I had no idea what your specialties were.

Word has it no one can find Tony.

I heard Chloe puking her her guts up today.

I'm not puking. Not even queasy. Maybe it didn't take.

My name is Christine Chapel and I just got here. I'm not sure how I go about finding a place to stay or where I can get more clothes. Honestly I don't know what the hell I'm supposed to do about anything. I'm from San Francisco in the 23rd century so depending on what the time is here I could be from the past or the future. Also, I'm a nurse practitioner so if there is a medical area, I'd be happy to help out.

I promise that I'm not usually this lame.

What do you guys think is the most important thing about being here?

Is it the repopulation or the rebuilding? Because I'm totally okay with the rebuilding part...but the repopulating...well, I don't know if I'm ready to be a dad.

Bruce! BRUCE!! There's beer, Bruce! I WANT BEER!!!

Hello all, I'm Phryne Fisher. New here, just arrived actually. The opportunity for casual sex as often as I like was really quite tempting.


Yes that's an open invitation for all of the males. Bonus points if you're blonde with blue eyes but as long as you're male I really do not mind.

Now for assistance on the island beyond sex I have training as a field nursr, private detective and circus performer among other things. I cannot cook or sew for the life of me though I can also fly a plane

You told Pepper?

Hey, everybody, I was wondering if anyone else was interested in playing Capture the Flag this Sunday? I tried to organize a game for Tuesday but I didn't have much luck, maybe because it was a weekday and short notice. So I'm trying again for this Sunday.

So far we have me, Chloe, Sara, Barry, Bucky, and Steve (I think? Bucky kind of volunteered you, Steve).

Oh, and if you're super strong or fast or whatever and you think you shouldn't play because you're worried about cheating? Don't be. EVERYONE of all abilities is invited, and we'll just try to divide up the teams so they're even and we don't get all the super powers on one side. OK?

Barnes is here. I'm saying Barnes and not the Winter Soldier because I'm operating under the faith that Arva promised us safety. However, since I have no bullets and I can't get around without assistance I'm feeling a little fucking paranoid. I'd kind of like to hear some reassurance that he's under control.

Hey docs! So the plan to knock me up is apparently smiled upon by the gods even though I'm planning to keep the baby. Christmas Monday gave me a bottle of prenatal vitamins. When do I start taking these? Now? Wait until I'm playing host to a human parasite?

Since we've had several new arrivals recently, I wanted to make a post with some things you all need to know. Many of you will have already found out some of this information from interacting with the other volunteers, but I wanted to put it all in one place and on the record so that we don't leave anything important out. Also, we could link other newbies to this in the future so that we don't have to keep explaining the same things.

New arrivals- Please feel free to ask questions here.

Veteran volunteers- Please add any other information you can think of that should be added. Also, you can jump in to help answer questions.

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.

Who has those balls for the sports equipment? I need something to throw at these walls before they drive me insane with boredom.

Can you all do me a little favor?

The new arrival, Tony Stark? Don't tell him about the lack of need for birth control here. At least not immediately. It would mean the world to me for him to not know that.

So I'm promised paradise, but when I arrive there are no girls handing out leis?

I literally thought I was going to get lei'd when I arrive. See what I did there? That's called a pun, people.

This is a handy little gadget. It's no JARVIS, but it'll do. We'll beef it up in no time.

Anyway, lead me to the party. Let's see how far civilization has actually gotten.

The most brilliant collection of medical supplies has appeared in the triage tent, along with the ability for me to take notes on all my patients. Once I have everything set up I would like to ask all the women that are pregnant to stop by the triage area. I will be conducting blood tests to ensure there are no anomalies in your blood.

I'll be starting medical charts for all residents so we will need to run a complete panel on everyone. Do not worry, all information is confidential and will remain private and secure.

I will be sending out more information as soon as everything is organized.

Thank you.

Best awakening I've had in six years! Thank you gods!

Can we just take a day off today? Guys? From working? Is that a thing we could collectively maybe do so I don't feel like a dick for laying in bed all day for the first time in six and a half years? Because, either way, I'm totally doing it, but I'm just saying, if everyone slacked off for today, I would feel less crappy about it tomorrow.

CASS.

Beeeeeeeed. #winning

As of last night, I have joined Miss Martin and Miss Tate in doing my part in contributing to the growing population of the island. It isn't quite accurate to say that I am pregnant, as I assume that even here implantation must take at least several days, but I did conceive a child last night.

I think this will be a fascinating experience and I intend to document closely how it progresses.
