Paradiso

Holy shot. Look what I woke up on this morning!

( cut, not filtered )

Also, clothes! I almost feel like a girl.

You know, when someone shows up claiming to be some kind of goddess and offers you a get out of jail free card new adventure on some island paradise, it usually seems like bullshit. I guess she wasn't actually kidding.

Anyway, hi. I'm Rose Hathaway. Nice to meet you all. What the fuck am I even

It's gone now, but that was the first time I'd seen snow before. I have in books, in media forms, but that's all that the Ark had. It was beautiful. Cold, but beautiful.

For anyone who didn't know, Lailah and I conceived a baby a few nights ago.

We're going to give it to Arva when it's born, but I'm excited anyway.

So I guess everyone kind of has their own shelter here? Not really used to living by myself, but I guess I can make it work. Personally, I'd rather have some big place like the community center, maybe with rooms off of a central room.

Anybody considered something like that? Shelters would still be good for hooking up. But having some sort of...medieval great hall would definitely allow us to conserve resources.

Would you like to go for a walk?

I talked to Lagertha, and she gave me some ideas about how to make flour. If we have flour, we could have all sorts of things. Assuming anyone here knows how to bake?

Thanks to the gifts from the gods and a lot of hard work over the last week, I'm happy to say that we now have water, working toilets and showers in the Community Center as well as water in the Medical Center. And a toilet there too apparently pregnant women pee a lot.

So I suppose we could throw a community shower party? Or something like that, anyway it'll be nice to go to a real bathroom.

Hey, how are things?

The variety of fruits and vegetables grown here is truly wonderful. Between that and the fresh game I have rarely eaten better, even when in the company of kings.

Hello Sydney. I was told you are in charge of the gardens? I know there is some grain grown, but I was not sure how much. Would there be enough to make bread and beer for everyone on a regular basis? Perhaps I could help plant another field if necessary. I was a farmer for a time back home.

After I'm done with helping with the chickens and animals tomorrow, it'll be a pretty easy day hopefully, if anyone needs any help with their shelters, or digging for the sewers, or what have you, I'm definitely up for helping. Just point me in the right direction.

I've been making diapers and baby clothes, but I'm not sure that I have enough. I'm a little worried that we're not going to have enough in the way of cloth. It would be nice if we had sheep for spinning wool. Not for the diapers, of course, but for the clothes.

So...I'm afraid I kind of got off on the wrong foot last time. So I'm going to start over, if you guys'll let me.

So my name's Eight. Well, that isn't my name, obviously, but I don't know what my name actually is, so Eight works. I was born on the planet Lorien which was destroyed when I was just a kid but the Elders were able to save nine of us and send us to Earth. Like Superman. Except, I can't fly.

I can, however, shapeshift and teleport, which I think is better anyway.

So, hey again, everyone. What can I do to help?

Hello!

I'm Briseis, but people here have started calling me Bri, and I like it. So you can call me that. I'm having a baby with Scott, but I know that Arva wants us to share our love with lots of people, and I'm fine with that.

The thing is, I'm not very good at getting out and meeting people. Even though I'd like to!

So...I'm from Lyrnessus, which was a city-state in Troy. I was married there when I was sixteen, to the King. Achilles destroyed my home a few years later, killed my family, and took me as his prize. But I don't want to think about the past - I'm far more interested in the future.

So! I would like to get to know people, men and women (although I'm only interested in being...uh...intimate with men) for friends and lovers.

I wanted to let you all know that the garden is doing amazingly well right now. We harvested quite a lot today so there are plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in the main camp area. Please eat up before they go bad!

Now that our population has grown so much, all of the shelters previous volunteers built have been claimed (at least as far as I can tell). That means new arrivals will need to utilize the temporary shelters we've built in the main camp area until they can establish their own.

With any luck, the gods will start gifting beds again now that we are expanding.

Am I allowed to claim one of the empty shelters for myself? Or is there some sort of process to it.

Right, so. Shelters.

I see that there are a lot of ones that look empty, but have stuff inside. Are those love shacks or something? I'm just trying to find a place to live and don't want to get in anyone's way. I can build my own if I need to, but if anyone can direct me to one that's already built, or anyone who wouldn't mind a roommate, I think there are better things I can do with my time.

Hi I'm Luke and am new here. Have to say I haven't seen anything like this place before.

Tā bǐ fèifèi fèihuà rè!

Name's Mal. Does everyone wake up on a beach? Got sand in places sand shouldn't be.

Would you like to join me for dinner at some point?
