I hate this thing

I know people from from different worlds now, which is completely messed up, but whatever. And I guess there are ghosts who can hurt us.

Are there any other threats? I'm not interested in the survival kind. I'm used to that. I'm talking more sentient things.

Now, let it be known that I'm big on patient confidentiality. However, before sharing this I asked for permission first because it seems like pertinent info for the masses to know.

Regarding the post below mine - the ghost at the port seemed to have caused some sort of timed affliction (all symptoms point to tuberculosis, which is very old school). I was able to detect an hourglass by doing a mystical scan of chakras and their alignments - the sand doesn't have far to go, so I'm guessing only a few hours. If anyone also runs into a ghost who not-so-kindly passes on tuberculosis, best you can do is treat the symptoms while the hourglass runs out.

Mint has antibacterial properties. Garlic is also good. For treating the fever and chills, remember to rest, hydrate, or maybe find a kind soul to sponge you off. Of course, I say that and the next spirit could give someone ghost ebola, but we'll cross that bridge if it comes up.

I have good news, and bad news. There's plenty of fish at the port, and there's even some useful shit in the buildings. But, I didn't get any fish. The place is haunted, and I think I might be dying. If you decide to go down there, be careful. That ghost is a fucking bitch, and not very pleasant to be around.

Who: Dean Winchester & Creepy Girl (NPC)
Where: The Port
When: Day 2
What: In search of food.
Warnings: low

( There was no way in hell he would live off plants alone. )

I've combed through the posts that have been made so far and compiled a list of what people are working on/have discovered so far. Let me know what I'm missing.

( cut for space )

I've got a PhD in Astrophysics and have a lot of improvisational skills with building equipment and tech on the fly. This probably won't be useful unless we find a power source somewhere.

I do have to say it's heartening to see how people have come together already. This could have very easily gone another way.

Just to let everyone know - we've got something of an infirmary set up by the lighthouse. I worked a little Mary Poppins magic and cleaned the place up, and we're doing our best to track down spare linens, blankets, and plants that will be used for medicinal purposes. I'm not a miracle worker but I am still here to abide by the oath to do no harm - that being said, if you bang yourself up doing something stupid expect at the very least an eyebrow raise. If it's an emergency? Just reach out to me via this device and I can portal to you. Quick service.

Also there are a flock of sheep now penned in, the ones Kaz was talking about. The barrier won't zap you, don't worry, but it will keep the sheep in. It won't zap them either, I promise.

Who: Caitlin and Nina
What: Nina decides to check out the infirmary for her and Kaz
Where: the infirmary
When: late morning day 2.
Warnings: should be low

What: Checking out the Lighthouse

Hello. My name is Sydney Sage and while I've met a lot of you, there are quite a few of you I don't know. I was chatting with Natasha and we thought it might be a good idea to get a list of people here so that we know when someone leaves or when someone arrives.

I'm not asking for personal information, just your name, age, and the date you arrived.

If you'd like to tell us more, all information is welcome, but the above is all we need.

Thank you.

I found fresh water sources after flying.

They're more or less in the centre of this island.

I can winnow people there if necessary, now that I know where I'm going.

Hello, my name is Kaz.

I was speaking with Natasha on her network post regarding anything else we would need to survive here. I inquired about weapons, but she was unsure if anyone possessed any weaponry here. It was suggested I create a post inquiry if anyone arrived with any weaponry on hand. This would be good to know for security purposes as well as for any hunting we may have to do. It would also be good to keep track of who has weaponry.

I am also curious if anyone here has experience tending to livestock. I spotted a flock of sheep on the island on my way to the lighthouse. If we can pen a few, this would be a food source as well as a potential material source.

Good morning.

I'm Natasha. By my count, there are at least a few dozen of us who found ourselves here yesterday. Many of us gathered at the lighthouse last night and I think we need to coordinate our efforts to explore and determine what supplies we have available.

Dr. Snow mentioned setting up an infirmary area. Eliot suggested exploring nearby buildings and potential food sources. I think it might also be a good idea for us to set up some kind of security watch system since we have no idea what we're dealing with and the letter implied there are threats we could face.

So that's food, shelter, medical, and security. What else do we need to do?

Anyone want to join me in exploring some of the other nearby buildings to determine which ones are sound enough for folks to use? There are too many of us for the lighthouse, but we should probably try to stick close since we don't know what we're dealing with.

We also should figure out what we're dealing with in terms of food sources. I saw some gardens that look to be in rough shape, but can probably be revived. Anyone else have experience growing food? We have no idea how long we're going to be here, so we need to plan ahead.

nothing to see here folks
