Paradiso

I have an exciting announcement to make.

Thanks to the hard work of everyone who has been helping shuck and roast coffee beans, I am about to brew our very first pot of coffee on the island.

We don't have sugar, but Ruby was able to get a little milk from the cows for those of you who don't like to drink it black. If you'd like a cup, please come to the main camp area and bring a coconut shell or something to drink from.

This is, by far, the best possible outcome I could have ever hoped for. Here I thought I was hallucinating and suddenly, sunshine. A breeze. A beach. I never thought that I would ever
I've been running around in circles for an hour like a bloody idiot and I can't stop smiling

Yes, hello, paradise? I'm never going home. I'm seeing little crosses posted around, I'm assuming they lead to everybody else?

Apologies. Sirius Bla
You would all know that I didn't
Would you all know that I

My name is Sirius. I think I'm going to like it here, very much. Is there food? I don't think I've eaten in at least four days, if there's food that would be grand.

Hey there, fellow islanders! I wanted to let you all in on something I figured out about our bracelets. After tinkering around with the different settings and running a couple of successful tests, I learned that our bracelets have voice capability. For those of you familiar with smartphones back home the bracelets act the same way. Just as when you want to communicate directly to a single person there is the option to call them instead. You just pull that name up and hit the microphone option instead of the text and ta da! To answer an incoming call you simply tap the little icon that will be blinking when the call comes in. A sound alerts you. Anyone who comes from somewhere without smartphones I'll be happy to walk you through the steps.

Any questions? Let me have 'em!

All right, so through some trial and error, I've figured out how to make a few basic clothing pieces using the sewing machine we got last week. It's far from haute couture, but for the people who haven't gotten extra outfits from the gods, or even the people who have and just want some more options, I'm hanging out in the main camp area today showing Briseis how to use the sewing machine, so if you want to place an order for some clothes, swing by and we'll get you measured.

I can make tank tops, t-shirts, boxer shorts, and skirts. We don't have a lot of options in terms of fabric, but you can pick your colors. [ETA] The colors available are: white, brown, gray, black, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple

Since I don't have paper to keep notes, if you can reply here with what you'd like, then I'll send you a private message with your measurements after you stop by so everything is in one place. And anyone else who wants to help with measuring or cutting fabric or anything, please let me know. I'm definitely willing to teach anyone who wants to learn. I figure we can get an assembly line kind of thing going where some people measure and cut the fabric pieces while someone else works the sewing machine.

To those of you who still don't have beds, if you've been having trouble sleeping I'm sure that we can start building hammocks for you or something. It's looking like everybody might get one eventually? I don't want to assume but they're coming in waves, it's weird.

I also feel like we should start trying to do more little stuff to show the gods and goddesses we appreciate what they're doing for us. I'm kind of coming up with a blank for suggestions though... I'm not usually the guy who comes up with the ideas. Any suggestions? They don't seem like he kind who would be too thrilled with sacrifice so I think it's safe to say that's off the table.

Except for the scary one. He'd probably be up for it.
If you can read this I didn't mean that you're my favorite?

You're probably frustrated today. I'm sorry. You don't have to respond, I just wanted to let you know that I left something for you by the waterfall a little north of us. It's kind of awful and it's the third one I tried to make since I saw you and I know you probably can't use it and I know it's stupid I just thought you'd like it, maybe. You don't have to take it if you don't want to.

I think the gods gave me these prenatal vitamins, I found them. I want you to start taking them, okay? They'll be good for you and the baby. How are you feeling? I wanted to know if you would be up for seeing one of the doctors, just for a check up. I've been talking to them but I don't want to make any solid plans until I know if you'd prefer a male or a female doctor.

I'm going to start cooking in about half an hour, unless that's too early. I'm really looking forward to
It's getting more ridiculous every day

Hey so, when you don't want to be an adult anymore, how do you find the off switch? I'm asking for a friend.

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.

Hello, I'm Dr Simon Tam and I have just arrived. As a Doctor I thought it necessary to do my bit. I'm a medical doctor back home so I will be happy to assist in that regard if need be.

Does someone mind updating me on the situation here?
