We have babies. Malia did great. I only passed out twice.

I couldn't get her to go with Luke and Leia for the names, so I proudly introduce Lucas Martin Stilinski and Cami Tate-Lahey.

Oi, mates.
Tell me a bit about the hot blond and his grabbing skills.

Apparently he's got a rep.

We have Bonfire Saturday. Christmas Monday (which did we miss that this week? Have we been naughty?). I'm declaring today Shirtless Friday!

I'm dying here!

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?

I can't wait to get these babies out. They're trying to kick me to death.

Not only that but I'm feeling like a fat cow who swallowed a watermelon whole.

She was right. My body's restored. I'm alive. But mom's not...

A proper New York Style Bagel and then some macaroons? That's a bit heavenly. It's been hard eating lately but with all these breads it should be a lot easier. I'll definitely take a loaf of pumpernickel if nobody minds if only we had some butter and strawberry cream cheese, and a bottle of scotch...

Now I need a basket or something to store this in. Does anyone have one to spare?

We've had so many people coming and going lately that I figured it might be a good idea to check in and talk about some of the bigger community projects that were in progress and figure out who's in charge and where they stand.

I know Sara's been mostly overseeing work on the Community Center. Who else is helping with that building effort and how far along are we? From what I understand, we intended it to be a communal area to store supplies, serve as a temporary shelter for new arrivals, and hopefully function as a kitchen for the group as a whole.

We also were working on digging and laying pipes for a sewage and plumbing system. Tony was spearheading those efforts, so we'll need someone else to take that project over now that he's gone.

The Medical Center is in pretty good shape, though it will need plumbing added when we have the sewage system done. And hopefully the gods will give us actual lights and things at some point since we have the electricity run in the building.

Is there anything else we should be thinking about as a group?

Amanda:

So this week, not so good. I haven't seen you around but that's probably for the best. I have not been doing very well. Do you happen to know how to get more pot here? This nice guy Finnick helped me but I saw he's having a kid and his wife is sick so I don't want to bother him after he was so nice to start with?

I seem to be having withdrawal either from the scotch I was having every day or the drug for the walking bit, or both? You're the only one that knows about the drug bit and I didn't want to tell anyone here.

Strewth! Generally when a god-type comes around asking for favours, help and the like, I’m usually bollocks deep in fire, brimstone and blood by now. But oh, no. Apparently it’s all just tropics and sunshine here. Which, admittedly, did not expect. Not completely unpleasant for a turn. It’s right bloody humid though, innit?

Hello people of Sex Island. My name is Lailah. Eddie was kind enough to show me how to use this shackle bracelet. If you have seen a woman wearing a tshirt that is me. I am excited to meet all of you.

So, I guess, hi? I'm Parrish. New here. Yeah. Hi.

I don't even know what I'm doing at this point. Just saying hello. Because yeah. That's the thing to do, right? Right.

Hi. I'm such an idiot.

In terms of people with medical experience I'm aware of, besides myself of course.

What I'm curious is am I missing anyone? Given how unknown this place is, it is perhaps best to have a good idea of just who has even basic first aide training if a situation was to arise?

Uh. I...don't understand how this works. But like, I can talk to people? I don't know.

Is anyone out there? I'm Thomas. I just got here, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do now.

Hello? Anyone?

I hate to be a bother as a new arrival. But could I trouble someone for a bit of alcohol? I seemed to have not estimated my dependence on the substance and I'd very much like to get my hands to stop shaking. and the sweating, oh god the sweating. I don't even have deodorant here

Hello, I'm Professor Charles Xavier and a new arrival to your community. It was suggested that I post to everyone with some of my skills to see what I may be able to assist with. I have training as a geneticists and biophysics as well as a doctorate of psychology. I can assist with genealogy if there's a need and I can help with psychiatric issues via medical if you don't already have someone on site?
if nothing else I can use my powers to help with them...
