Bonfire!
To celebrate my (Jen's) new job, we're going to go with 1000 points for an OTA post and 1500 for a response tonight.

And don't forget that you can claim or redeem points at any time (and I promise that catching up on claims is on my To Do list tonight as soon as I tackle my inbox).

ALSO, there are still a few items on the community collection post that need points if you'd like to contribute to the community!

Sara & OTA

Sara was in an excellent mood when she showed up for the weekly bonfire. The community center was almost done and she was pretty confident that they would actually be able to move all of the things currently being stored in the Medical Center over sometime during the coming week. Especially now that Cisco was back and able to help get the wiring done in the new building.

The fact that she also had amazing sex with Natasha last week was also part of her good mood. They still hadn't talked about the obvious similarities in their pasts, but that didn't matter so much. They were excellent sparring partners and very compatible sexually. In Sara's mind, that was a pretty solid foundation for a friendship.

She found a spot on the ground a little ways back from the fire and stretched out her bare legs. The night air could be cool, especially when the breeze blew in from the water, but she knew that the fire would warm her and elected to wear a pair of shorts and a tank top. She wasn't adverse to the idea of a hook up tonight, but she also wouldn't mind just hanging out and chatting.

Malia always enjoyed bonfires as a chance to meet new people and experience new things. As confident and outgoing as she was when it came to sex, she was still a relative newcomer to it, and there was a lot she still had to learn. She was making up for that quickly enough, but she still had a good long ways to go. She hadn't spent a whole lot of time with girls, although she knew that she liked them too. It just seemed with this place being what it was, and babies coming a lot easier from men, that it was better to cultivate those relationships. Or easier, anyway.

She sat down on the fire beside Sara. They hadn't talked much on the network or anything, but she'd seen her around, and definitely thought she was hot.

"Hey," she said, stretching a little. It had been a long day, and bonfires were a good time to relax.

It was impossible to be here for any length of time and not know who Malia was, even if you hadn't actually talked to her, so Sara simply smiled when the younger girl joined her. "Hey," she said. "How are you feeling?"

She was impressed by the fact that the girl had not only carried her own child to term, but another one when a volunteer left. It couldn't have been physically easy, even with enhanced healing, and Sara was hoping that she was fully recovered now.

"Good," she said. And she did feel good. She'd physically healed from the babies ridiculously quickly, and it had only taken a week of a little more rest than normal to get back to her normal shape. She still missed the babies, of course, but she wasn't going to tell that to someone she barely knew.

"It's kind of weird to think that I'm a mom."

"I bet it is," Sara said. Even though she planned to do the same thing eventually, she suspected it would be more difficult than anyone could imagine. "But you did an amazing thing. You should be proud of yourself." She knew that lately it almost seemed like there was a divide between the people who were allowing Arva to raise their babies and the people who were raising them themselves, but she hoped that it wouldn't cause a permanent rift in their society.

She figured it was probably something that Malia wouldn't want to really discuss, especially with a relative stranger. "Have you been by to see the progress on the community center? I think we're really close to being done."

Octavia & OTA

2016-07-23 07:25 pm UTC (link)
The weekly bonfires were one of Octavia's favorite things about being on the island. She loved that their group came together once a week simply to hangout and socialize. Of course, a lot of people used the bonfires as a way to hook up, which wasn't a bad thing either, but mostly she enjoyed the sense of camaraderie they provided.

She was still thinking about whether or not she was ready to contribute to the project by having a baby. Isaac and Nick both seemed like they would be solid choices if she decided she was ready, though she was kind of leaning a little more towards Isaac simply because they had the whole common bond of losing someone they loved. It was a big step, even if she was going to let Arva raise the baby, but she definitely wanted to keep the goddess happy. Being here, having a chance to start over, was something that she appreciated more than anything.

When someone sat down next to her, she was startled out of her thoughts and immediately offered a smile.

Octavia wasn't to be blamed for being startled. Eight had, very literally, appeared out of nowhere. He'd been tired after working in the gardens all day, and hadn't felt like walking the distance. One wasn't a teleporter for nothing, right?

"Hey," he said, a bit apologetically. "Didn't mean to freak you out or anything." She was pretty, but he didn't really know her well. Plus, he wasn't going to push his luck. He'd gotten really, really lucky several times this week already.

"It's okay," Octavia said, recognizing the guy from the network. "I just didn't hear you walk over." Which was a little strange, given the hyper vigilance that she learned and practiced back home. Was she letting her skills slide too much? Even though she didn't plan to ever leave the island, something might happen that would make her and she didn't want to let herself get soft.

She still offered him a small smile. "I'm Octavia," she said. "And you're Eight, right?" It was a bit of an unusual name, but she remembered it since it was the root of her own name.

"Yeah, I'm Eight," he said. He hated saying that, it sounded like he was telling people he was eight years old. Which was wrong on so many levels here on Sex Island.

He also wasn't sure how much he liked being recognize. He knew he'd actually never met her in person, which meant she had to know him from the network. And he hadn't always made the wisest choices on the network. Maybe the reasons they told the Garde to stay offline wasn't just because of the Mogs.

"Did you find a father for your baby?"

Lustre and OTA
[info]lustrare
2016-07-23 11:45 pm UTC (link)
This had been a really confusing week for Lustre. Sex, she knew about. She knew pretty much everything a person could ever possibly know about sex. She'd been forced to do just about everything time and again, until she could do pretty much any sexual act perfectly in her sleep.

Feelings...well, that was something that she didn't know anything about. At all.

On some levels, she didn't understand why she was panicking. She wasn't in love with Cisco - she didn't know him well enough for that. Love was something that happened after months or years of knowing someone, after trust and affection had both been proven time and again.

But she did like him, and as more than just a casual partner. The sex was incredible, but she also just like laying with him afterwards, listening to him talk about whatever scientific wizardy thing he was working on. It was fascinating to her, and those moments had quickly gone down in her mind as some of the best of her life.

But it was terrifying, too. Giving her body to someone was one thing. Being friends with someone she was sleeping with (other than Finnick, who totally didn't count), was dangerous, and was bound to get her hurt. And as much as she knew that, she didn't want to give it up.

She was staring into the fire as these thoughts filled her mind, and she wished that there was some way to throw them away and make sure that they never came through her mind again. Unfortunately, she knew she wasn't going to be that lucky.

The cabin was done, so Finnick had spent the week helping Scott expand and improve the shelter Scott and Briseis shared. They were done with that now, so he'd have to find a new project this week. For now though, it was time to socialize and enjoy the bonfire.

It had been a big week in another way. He and Chloe had gotten an ultrasound and found out that they were having a boy. It made things that much more real to find out that he was going to have a son. They hadn't made a big announcement on the comm, but they weren't keeping it a secret either. He'd told a couple people if it came up, but he didn't want to make a big deal of it.

He saw Lustre sitting alone and looking rather pensive, which was unusual for her, especially since coming to the island. He went over and sat down next to her. "Penny for your thoughts?"

Lustre looked up at Finnick when he arrived, her eyes twinkling a little. Of all people on the island, he was the one she was probably most comfortable with. He knew her, knew her secrets, and the fact that nobody else here did meant that she could trust him. Of course, she'd always known she could trust him. He was one of her best friends.

"Oh, they're worth a lot more than a penny," she teased, before her face fell a little. "I'm just thinking. About when relationships become more than just sex. I don't really know what to do with that."

And it was mildly terrifying.

"Oh, I'm sure they are. Just like everything else from District One." He chuckled. Then he got more serious when he saw where the conversation was heading.

"Yeah, that's the tricky part. I made a mess of that when I first got here. I didn't know how I would react emotionally to having sex with someone I actually liked. It hit me a lot harder than I expected." He sympathized with what she was going through. It could be very difficult.

"So...is this about Cisco?"

Briseis and OTA
[info]prizeofachilles
2016-07-23 11:56 pm UTC (link)
Briseis was starting to feel pregnant. She hadn't had much trouble with morning sickness, or anything like that, but she was feeling the baby move now, and her clothes were very obviously getting a good deal tighter. It was getting to the point where you could see her swollen stomach even through her clothes now, and it was a strange thing.

A good thing! But a strange one.

She'd come to the bonfire because it was the thing to do. But really - and maybe it was pregnancy emotions talking - but she was feeling kind of sad and left out lately. She wouldn't show it, she wouldn't let it get in the way of anything, but sometimes she just felt like she wanted to cry. Like nobody here but Scott even liked her.

She shook her head a little, looking into the fire and sighing as her hand rubbed her belly a little.

Briseis and Link
[info]legendoflink
2016-07-24 12:28 am UTC (link)
Link still hadn't quite found his foothold in the camp yet. He hadn't found a real connection, he just went about his business and kept introducing himself to people, but it still felt like he and the rest of the camp were just getting to know each other, and he felt slightly like the outsider in a group of people that had already developed a strong kinship. It wasn't that he was hurt by this, fact was he was used to always being alone, and therefore knew it would be hard for him to force his way into a world already established by so many.

Not to mention, he wasn't even technically human, not in the same way most if not all of them were, it caused him to stand out just a bit. They spoke of things like electronics, and computers, and electricity and plumbing, and he found it all fascinating, but also knew his lacking of knowledge put him on a different plane than some.

So once again he found himself at the bonfire, hoping again to push further into the life of the camp, and eventually feel like he could call it home. In the meantime though, he was here, and there he noticed Briseis, the young woman from the network he'd spoken to.

Making his way towards her, he noted the seat next to her, and her rubbing her belly and smiled as he gestured to it, "Congratulations are in order it would seem. That or you ate something terrible, and then no congratulations, only pity."

Briseis looked up at him with a warm smile, nodding to tell him that he could most definitely take the seat beside her. She'd been left alone long enough with her thoughts as it was.

"Oh, congratulations indeed," she smiled. "I have about another month and then I shall be having a little one. I must say that I'm terribly excited about it."

The twinkle in her eye confirmed that.

"I had always wanted to have a baby back home, but the gods never blessed me with one. The gods here are far more...gracious about such things."

Briseis and Link
[info]legendoflink
2016-07-24 12:11 pm UTC (link)
Link took the offered seat with his smile there and nodded, "Well then good, it's interesting that such things as pregnancies go as fast as they do here. It must be nice to have such a truncated one so it's not something you have to deal with for a full 9 months. But I am glad you're excited about it, I am happy for you. It's both helping the cause of this island, while also fulfilling a dream of your own."

Rubbing his hands against his legs some, he tilted his head to the side to watch her, nodding his head, "The gods in my time period were not always the most gracious, but rarely seemed to have any say with regards to such things as pregnancy. I've heard many of their stories, but the telling of them had fallen a tiny bit out of favor with the common folk, including my own, save for the Royal family and some of the other races."

"Your gods acted in the same way as the gods on this Island? They controlled aspects of life like pregnancy?"

Natasha and OTA
[info]somebodyseyes
2016-07-24 03:30 pm UTC (link)
Natasha's attendance at the bonfires was kind of hit or miss. Some nights she felt like going, some nights she didn't. She'd had a pretty good week though so she decided to go. Part of her hoped she'd run into Bruce because after her conversation with Pepper, she was a little concerned about him or more precisely him and Maria. He might tell her to blow it out her ear but Natasha didn't really care. She'd tell him what she thought and that would be it. Or she might say nothing at all and let him fall into it without even knowing she'd manipulated it that way. That might be fun.

She found a spot just slightly out of the circle and sat down. Some of the newer arrivals were here but she'd be damned if she knew their names. Sara was here but she was talking to someone and Natasha made note to keep an eye on that because she'd like to talk to Sara. Even if nothing ever happened between them again, she knew after their night together that they had a lot in common and it would be nice to have another female friend.

Natasha leaned back on her elbows and looked up at the sky, listening to the hum of voices around her and wondered just where exactly in the universe they were.

Eddie was in a pretty good mood at this bonfire. He was actually starting to feel like he had a place here - his hot night with Lagertha had definitely helped with that. Sure, she was quite a bit older than him, but it hardly mattered with how smoking hot she was. He was rather pleased with himself for being able to attract her.

He wasn't the most outgoing of guys. Being a Guardian, he was the sort who excelled at fading into the background and disappearing in plain view. That was probably why most people didn't know him, even though he'd been here a good long time.

He showed up at the bonfire, looked around, and couldn't help but notice the woman who carried herself like a fighter, too. He went over to her and smiled a little.

"Hey. Mind if I sit? The fire's a little warm if you get too close."

When she heard the voice, Natasha twisted around so she could see who was there. She'd seen him around but didn't know him but hey, that didn't matter. "Sure, you can sit down, go right ahead." One thing that she had come to notice since coming here, there were a lot of people who reminded her of herself. Cautious, watching things. Maybe they all felt a need to get away and try to find some other side of themselves.

She watched him sit down and then smiled at him. "I'm Natasha by the way. I've seen you around but I don't think I know your name."

"I'm Eddie," he said, sitting beside her. "I kind of keep to myself." It was kind of what he'd been trained to do, and when you'd been trained to do stuff since you were five, well, it was pretty well engrained in you by the time you were eighteen.

"It's nice to meet you," he said. "You...there are quite a few people from your home world here, right?"

He might keep to himself, but that didn't mean he didn't know what was going on around him just fine.

2016-07-24 08:54 pm UTC (link)
He'd remembered the bonfires from before and while he'd missed the one last week, Cisco made sure he was there this time. When he walked up, he saw Lustre talking to Finnick and for a second he panicked. What if she was telling Finnick that he was a complete dork and she was trying to find a way to let him off easy? No, that couldn't be true, could it? They'd been spending time together and it wasn't just sex, they talked and she didn't seem to mind the fact that he was a geek. No, he was being paranoid, he decided and he headed around to the other side of the fire.

There was an open space just where the breeze was blowing so he sat there. He'd been working on wiring all day so the ocean breeze felt good. He could almost fall asleep here, he thought and laughed. No, he might miss something so he just settled down to watch the others around the fire.

Bruce hadn't known Cisco well when he was around the first time, but they were vaguely acquainted in the way that all of the people on the island were. Especially since Cisco had helped out with the electric for the medical center. They hadn't had a chance to chat since Cisco's return though, so when Bruce spotted the younger man sitting alone at the bonfire, he went over to join him.

"Welcome back," he said with a small smile. "Guess the real world wasn't all it's cracked up to be, huh?"

Cisco shook his head. "No it wasn't. Two Earths, two of everything, it was more confusing then I'd remembered so I decided to come back." and it hurt too much to be at home to be honest. "Almost a whole new group of people here now." He had wondered why some of the others had left, he'd meant to ask Barry but he hadn't had much time to talk to his friend between Barry's possible impending fatherhood and his own surprisingly active sex life.

"I hear congratulations are in order for you," he said with a grin. "I don't know Maria that well but that's cool. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

The whole with two Earths and two of everything sounded rather confusing and Bruce didn't blame Cisco for deciding to come back to the island. Most of them seemed to be here because they wanted to escape unpleasant experiences at home and he couldn't fault anyone else for that since he was in the same boat.

"They are, thanks," he said with a nod. "We just found out that it's a girl. We also decided that we're not going to name her. We're letting Arva raise her so it seemed like the right thing to do to let the goddess name her."
