Paradiso

[Cisco]
Guess who woke up in their own bed this morning?

[Kitty]
Apparently I'm doing something right because I woke up in a bed today. Would you like to come over tonight? Just to sleep, I mean. Unless you want to do more.

[Martha]
How's tomorrow sound for our walk? We can go after dinner.

[Lydia]
How are you feeling?

[Patty]
I miss you. I'm sorry. Hey.

I was thinking, and I don't think I make a very good person. I mean...like Isaac is taking care of everyone and building things and everybody's slaving away to help everyone else and I kind of don't get it. I mean, I want to take care of me, and Isaac, but the rest of you, I don't get why you just don't take care of yourselves, you know? I mean, when it comes down to you surviving or me surviving I want it to be me and if you guys have to die for that I can totally deal with that.

I think that makes me a bad person.

Is realizing that a step, at least?

So, um, do you think your baby's a girl or a boy? I think mine's a girl. I don't know why. That's just how I think of it. Does that mean anything? And I have a tiny baby bump. Like, you can only see it when I'm naked. Is that normal? I don't know. I'm a little scared This is weird.

Since it looks like we're going to be rained out, does anyone have any fun indoor games/activities we could try?

Besides that. I mean, that's fine too, but I'm trying to look beyond the obvious.

[Cam]
You especially. You seem to be kind of the go to guy for games.

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?

My conversation with Patty earlier got me thinking and now I can't sleep. She brings up a good point. ( cut for length )

I woke up to find several tubes of toothpaste and a package of toothbrushes in my shelter and am more than willing to share with you.

Soooooo now that you all know that I'm a blood sucking demon, I have some more information to impart.

I have magic. Healing magic. And other creepier kinds

So if anyone gets hurt bring it on and I'll heal that bitch.

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?

We've accomplished a lot in the week since we first arrived. I think we should celebrate and have a bonfire. It'll give us a chance to get to know each other better.

Lydia and I tried to make a baby last night. How will we know if it worked?

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.

Since I've offered to do this for someone anyway...is there anyone else who wants to learn how to and help make cords from palm threads?

I realize it's hot here, but is there anyone besides myself who would be looking for a sparring partner?

And I do mean that in the training sense, this may be paradise but I'm not looking to let myself fall out of shape and practice.

Never fear, ladies, Adrian Ivashkov has arrived and all of your prayers are answered.

I'm thinking the easiest way to handle this would be for all of you who want me to take a number and I'll let you know when it's your turn.

So hey, as I said in another post, I'm Sara Lance.

I know we're all excited about waking up in a paradise potential playground, but building and survival are still important.

Has anyone woken up near fresh/drinkable water? It would make sense to start building shelters around a clean source of water.

If anyone is interested in teaming up from the start, I'm going to be working on a temporary shelter as soon as I locate a water source. I also have some hunting and survival skills. Anyone who has skills and is willing to share/speak up, please do.
