God, please don't be the scary one
PLEASE don't be the scary one
My name is Isaac Lahey. I'd like to speak with you, if you have the time.

RUBY.
Building is off today. Obviously. I know you have scissors so if I come over a little earlier do you think you could cut my hair? I've been instructed that I shouldn't cut off too much because Malia and Lydia 'like my curls' but I'm not going to deal with a mullet. I'm not about that life.

Hey anyone have or know how to make a knife? I'm going to want to eventually make cuttings of plants. I already made a basket!


[Ruby]

I was told you are the one to talk to about soap? I can do a barter. Though right now what I've got is some knowledge, a little magic, and weaving. If you aren't tired of baskets or mats!

I don't get headaches anymore, but I have a feeling that I would have one right now if I could. Does that count? I've been running around all day. Since we're going to be building so much tomorrow I was going to make a request. I know that some of us have canteens, and I was wondering if you're not going to be a part of the construction project, do you think we can borrow yours? I can fill them all up and bring them to the work site so we'll be able to hydrate without having to leave the site every thirty minutes, it would just make things a lot more convenient.

ARVA.
Um
Miss? I had a question for you if you have the time. I know you're probably really busy...

MALIA.
Hey, let me know when you're free so I know when I can come by. I don't want to walk in on you and interrupt your 'conquer the male population of the island' plan. I made you something... I just thought you might be able to use it. And I found you some things that might help with your nausea. I know Melissa has that awesome stuff from home and she's been really cool about offering it, but I don't know how much there is so I found something else that you can use on less severe days to make the medicine she's got last.

STILES.
For a second, it almost didn't work and she almost killed me. But then it did. You were right. Thanks. If you tell anyone I admitted that, I'll deny it.

LYDIA.
I have something for you.

DEREK.
How you settling in?

Right, so I went out this morning and set some traps in the woods. They're marked with wooden crosses, so try not to step on them? I figure that'll make hunting quite a bit easier. Check 'em in the morning, reset them, and we have the rest of the day to build or whatever else we need to do.

Sound good?

So it was made known last night that there are sheep and goats on the far side of the island. Also, if we make a paddock area Azibo will supply us with chickens and cows. We've all been living without dairy products so this sounds like a really great idea.

I know the medical facility takes priority, and I don't want to take anything away from that, but how do we feel about some of us working on a livestock area and/or going to get some of those sheep and goats to this side?

Guess who woke up in a bed this morning?

Either or both of you want to come over and help me break it in tonight?


[Sara]
I think you're a bit more muscular than me, but I also got some clothes from home and I'm willing to share if you want to try them on.

It's, bright. I mean, obviously, sun and all. I guess I just didn't think it would be that bright. With the water and stuff. Anyone around? With say, some aspirin?

Who would be interested in having another bonfire this Saturday, but with a twist this time? Ray suggested we have some sort of cultural exchange. The idea is that people would take turns performing or sharing something from their home. Sing a song, teach a dance step, tell a story, that sort of thing. Whatever you want to share with the group.

Of course no one would have to participate in that part if they didn't want to, so don't worry if you have stage fright. No one's going to push you up in front of everyone if you don't want to go!

We thought it would be both entertaining and informative since we're not all from the same time and place.

So are people up for that?

I'm going to ask this because I have a feeling that a lot of people are thinking it but no one is saying it.

It's warm. I mean, it's really warm, and I know that at some point it might get colder but right now that's not the case and we have limited clothing. We're all here to sleep with each other...

Why are we even wearing clothes instead of just saving them?

Just out of curiosity, is anyone here interested in threesomes or moresomes?

Strictly for recreational purposes, of course.

Hopping on the bandwagon... I found some scissors when I woke up this morning. Like the hair-cutting kind. Anyone have experience with that? Pretty sure those will come in handy sooner rather than later.

[Ladies]
Ask and ye shall receive. I got a box of tampons and a package of pads too. There's not a ton, but I'm definitely willing to share. Maybe we use those only on the super heavy days and make do with other stuff on the lighter days?

[Sara]
Want a hairbrush? I got a couple of those too.

I spent all last night crying.

Right now I feel like I want to tear someone to pieces. This sucks. This was stupid why the hell did I get myself into??? I'm obviously a fucking moron.

I think I'm going to go kill bears.

Ladies... those of us who aren't planning to get pregnant right away are going to need to deal with menstruating in the jungle. Having lived in places with and without modern menstrual products, I'm going to be honest and tell you this is going to suck.

We can put together some makeshift pads from animal skins, but they won't have adhesive to keep them in place. We can also create tampons out of wool. I came across a meadow with some sheep and goats on the far side of the island and I have experience with sheep shearing.

Either way, we're without Midol and indoor plumbing. Also, speaking from experience, when you are menstruating, I would advise you to stay out of the jungle. Predatory animals will smell the blood and come looking for the source.


[Private to Sara]

Have you made any progress on that smoke house? I was thinking of getting a hunting party together to see if we can take down a bear or two and it would be nice to be able to preserve some of that meat.

[Filter to Derek, Isaac, & Scott] (added later)

You boys interested in a little hunting party? Sara's got the smoke house pretty much done. I'm thinking a bear or two could provide us a lot of meat and some very useful skin/fur.

Since apparently it's okay to tell everyone, hi! I'm Malia Tate and I'm a werecoyote. I lived a bunch of years in the woods on my own as a fully changed coyote. From the time I was nine until just after my eighteenth birthday. So I'm super good at hunting and stuff but not so good at people. That said, I love having sex and am totally willing to learn new things. And I'm pregnant too. So yep. That's me.

[Isaac]

Why haven't you ever kissed me?

[Stiles]

I want to do that again.

[Lydia]

I made out with Stiles last night.

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?

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,

Who wants to get me pregnant?

EDIT: You know, forget it. Apparently I'm supposed to know my own mind but only if it's the same as everyone else's.

Just...never mind.

I've helped whoever needs help with their shelter, made sure that the food storage area is working the way we want it to, built a few more fishing traps in the ocean... I've been going for a couple of days straight here and I think that I might end up taking the rest of today off, since I saw that Finnick already offered his help to whoever needed it. Unless someone else needs something and he's got too much on his plate, I'm done.

Problem is, I have no idea what I want to do for fun around here.

Except for that. I'm always open for that. I mean other than that.

[DELAYED; FILTERED AGAINST ALL PREVIOUS COMMENTATORS (DARCY, STILES, MALIA)
This is not what I had in mind, I really didn't want to play mediator tonight, I'm just trying to get laid, can I get laid?

And if not can someone just give me something to do, please? Why can't I have nice things. Why can't Isaac have nice things too.

So I've collected some liquorice root (teeth cleaning) and made mouthwash (lavender, rosemary, mint). Currently in the process of trying to create some natural deodorant. Will update when finished. If anyone is interested in any of this, come see me, I've got enough to share.

Okay so, I've seen people mention the thing about making clothes but do we know when that's going to happen? I don't want to rush anybody! I'm just wondering when that might happen because I've already sort of resorted to ripping clothes up to cover the most... important parts but that only gives me coverage for two or three days, tops. Fun fact everybody! Washing your clothes in a stream? Not the fresh jungle scent you'd expect.

And um, also... if someone might be able to show me how to build a shelter that would be great? Mine attacked me last night.

I'm so sorry, I'm already awful at this whole 'helpful part of the community' thing.
