Paradiso

[Public]

I'm happy to share that the island now has one new resident! Phillip James was born yesterday and both he and Natasha are doing well. Just check in with Nat or myself before stopping by in the next couple of days, just to make sure we're up for visitors. I freely admit to wanting to monopolize my son's time for a couple of days.

Between the rain and the pizza and beer, I guess the gods must be pretty happy with us.

With the dorms finished, I was wondering... who's planning to live in them? I'm still trying to decide if I want to give up my shelter.

IT'S RAINING!!!!!!!!!

Pepper

Do I have you to thank for this?

Well, would you look at that.

It's raining. And the breeze is great. Just what we needed.

It probably sounds weird, but I almost wish we could have a good thunderstorm or something right now. Maybe some snow. I miss seasons.

Oliver

I mi Can we How

Adrian

Hey. I think I might skip the bonfire tonight. Do you want to take a walk on the beac? We should probably, um, talk

Christian

I'm going to tell Adrian. About what happened between us before. Whatever that was I'm going to tell him about Oliver, too. I know monogamy isn't really a thing here, but he's technically my boyfriend and it feels wrong not to tell him everything.

Mason

You're still here, right?

How are you settling in?

Natasha

Remember how you said we could talk about.. stuff?

If anyone is particularly hungry, I've managed to catch quite a ridiculous amount of fish today. I have the boat pulled up on the shore and the fish laid out on the deck so that you can peruse. All are open for taking except for the yellowtail. That one is mine.

I am ready to have a baby here. I feel it in every pulse and fiber of my body. I'm wondering who is also ready and is willing to have the child with me, as I certainly am unable to do so on my own. I'm not my mother, after all, and we are not molding children out of clay. What is the saying? It takes two to tango, yes?

If you had asked me six months ago, I might have said that day after day in paradise might bore me. Nothing can be further from the truth.

However, I did spot what looked to be a small atoll off shore this morning and might venture a swim out to it. If anyone would to join me, it might be a nice adventure.

─ it's working.

Hello, island. Everyone. Whoever is listening. I'm Rose.

Rose Tyler.

After everything, it would be nice to build a society of peace instead of one wrought from war and death. And Lexa is gone...

I am Clarke Griffin. I have medical training and I'm looking forward to helping build this place.

Hello, fellow island dwellers. For those who I have not met, I am Wanda.

I was thinking that perhaps for this week's bonfire we might have a barbecue. We have a good supply of meet, but another boar would not be a bad thing if someone wishes to do some hunting. If there is anyone who wishes to help cook, I would not say no to that, either. Perhaps it won't be what many of us are used to, but I think it might make for a nice departure from routine, if people are interested.

This island reminds me of several past Games arenas, most notably the 54th Games where I lost both but her especially. However, I imagine that there's no worry here about mutts or traps or any gamemaker ... surprises. Unless, of course, this entire situation is some kind of test of the Capitol. If that's the case, I promise you I will come out on top.

Tiberius Crawley Kirk came into this world screaming this afternoon, as expected. He's got a lot to say, I can already tell.

Mary is doing well too, considering. Honestly, I don't know how you ladies do it.

Bones

Not a word about the name. Mary insisted. I think my mom would approve though.

Also, uh, thanks for being there through this today, Bones. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have survived without you.

Right, then. I need this baby to be born already. I'm the size of a house and I can hardly sleep because there is no comfortable position to do so in.

I'm going to take a walk. It will probably only stir him up and not help push him out, but it is currently more comfortable to walk than it is to sit.

I'm pleased to announce that I am pregnant. Jim Kirk is the father. We will be giving the baby to Arva.

I also received a gift today - several bolts of different fabrics, including some satins, silks, jersey knit, denim, and even a small bolt of brocade. The gods know my taste, apparently. If you would like some fabric, please let me know. I can also incorporate it into a garment if you would like.

I'll be having to make some new clothes for myself soon anyway.

Christopher Allen Chapel was born early this morning at the Medical Center. We're both fine and if anyone wants to stop by and meet him, we're at home. He's pretty damn amazing.

This is definitely an improvement from 1994. Please tell me someone has something in my sized that is NOT made of flannel.

Would any of the hunters here tell me what sort of game animals we have on the island? I miss my furs. I'm thinking about making a stole, or perhaps sewing some fur to the collar of one of my dresses. I realize that it is quite warm here and that a stole is probably impractical, but it does get cooler at night. Besides, after last month's surprise snow storm, I suppose it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

Fox is my favorite, though I have not seen any here yet. Mink would be my second choice. If you can hunt and skin it and give me the pelt, I will try to repay you in some way for your time and effort.

It seems that Mr. Stark's arrival has caused some friction amongst your group.

I'm happy to announce the birth of our daughter. Pepper delivered her about two hours ago and both are doing well. I'm also happy to announce that I did not pass out even though I might possibly have thought about it.

Well hello ladies... and gentlemen too, no one should forget any of you.

It's quite the lovely Island you've got here, love what you've done with the... palm trees. Very free form. I suppose hoping for a fully stocked bar is asking too much. That's fine, we'll work on it.

In the mean time, I am Tony Stark, most of you probably know me. If you don't, you will. It's a pleasure to meet all of you, until it isn't, and then we'll work through it. Though I'm certain we'll all get along splendidly.
