OOC: Anyone interested in joing in just pot OOC (Out of Character askeing for a character. I'll be Saywer and Sayid).

BIC: Sayid sat perched in a tree. He balenced himself with one hand and the other was grasped firmly around a heavy rope he had made out of fines. Suddenly, Sayid heard the sound of something coming towards him and the trap. with a swift motion, he pulled on the rope. "Woah!" someone yelled out.

The man quickly clammered out of the tree and raced towards where he had set the trap earlier that day. He stopped a foot away and groaned. He had caught something, well, rather a someone.

Sawyer peered at Sayid with not a look of disgust at suddenly being whisked up from where he had been, but with a little amusement. "Woah there bounty man, what do you think you are doin'? I ain't no pig, so why you tying me up like one? Am I going to be your dinner?" he said with grin, "If not, I'd really like to be taken down."

Sayid whipped out his head and cut Sawyer down and so he did not fall on his head, he placed him feet down as well. "What are you doing out here?" he asked
"I was going for a swim." Sawyer replied, walking past Sayid, whistling a tune.

Sayid shook his head and felt a tengle down his spine. Something was not right - Sawyer was acting odd, very odd and Sayid did not know why, but he had a hunch.

Sayid took up his rope and headed back to the caves for three reasons. One was that all of that noise would have scared the boars off. The second was because he had cut his rope and he needed to go to the caves to get more. And the third, and most important, was to see if anyone else was acting as off as Sawyer was and to see if anyone had noticed that Sawyer had been acting strangely and it was not just Sayid being to cautius.

I'm Charlie!


Meanwhile, Charlie was hanging with Locke, trying to figure out the mysterious old man.
"Why exactly, then... Locke, do you have 400 knives?" Charlie asked off-handedly while helping Locke chop wood for the watch fires. It was his second or so week of rehibilitation, so he spent much more time with Locke to keep his mind off drugs.

OOC: It is 8 months after the crash, not a few weeks.

ooc: I'll play, Since someones taken Sawyer I guess I'll take Jack

IC: Jack was sitting at the caves helping a castaway how had burnt herself when he noticed Sayid enter with a strange look on his face.

"Sayid is there something wrong" he asked motioning for the iraqi man to join him

-Jack

oic: can i be claire? and did she have her baby yet?

oic: oops, stupid question to ask. was it born healthy, or did it die? that is what i should have asked instead.

I'll be Hurley.

Hurley walked calmly over to Sayid.
"Where did you get all of those maps," Hurley asked curiously.

OOC: Can you all add more please, thanks and use OOC when you have something not in character. Yeah you can. Whatever you want to do littleLOSTpirate

BIC: Sayid strode over to Jack and sat down beside him. He looked at the ground for a little while, thnking how to word his reply. After he had decided, the looked at Jack.
"I am not sure if there is or not." he said, "I was out hunting..."

Sayid showed him the cut rope and then continued. "I heard something and thinking it was a boar, I pulled the rope to activate the trap. It was not a boar, it was Sawyer."

Sayid sighed and then dropped the rope at his feet. "He was not angry as I thought he would be." Sayid said, " He said, 'Woah there bounty man, what do you think you are doin'? I ain't no pig, so why you tying me up like one? Am I going to be your dinner? If not, I'd like to be taken down. He was grinning and then when he went off to go for a swim, he was humming."

Sayid closed his eyes, realising he sounded very stupid. "I know it does not sound like anything, but...I was warned to watch out for strange behavior. I was not told what the behavior would be, but to keep a close eye out for it. I was told months ago to come back here to watch for it." Sayid said. He looked up at Hurley.
"Why are you interested in knowing that?" the man asked him

The man shook his head. The maps were part of it anyway, so he might as well tell him.

"I got them from the French woman, Danielle, months ago." He said calmly, "She also warned me to watch out for different behavior. The people she was with, they all had something and she shot them. I am too watch for it around you all. I fear that Sawyer might be infected, but I cannot be sure. I have no clue what to look for."

claire sat in the caves cradeling her baby in her arms. "Mr. Malkin was wrong. you've been happy. Besides the fact that we're stranded on an island, i think everything's going to be okay." she looked at the baby remembering the physic's words "There is no happy life. Not for this child, not without you." she remembered how she had almost put the baby up for adoption, and immediately felt regret. she saw charlie coming her way, and immediately smiled.

Sayid looked at Claire and the baby. He was a little amaised that the child had lived, but in a way he was not - this place was a little mystical. He then saw Charlie coming towards her. He had changed a lot, in good ways though. His mind wondered back to Sawyer and thought of how he had changed and not in the months, but it seemed in hours. He would have to watch Sawyer closer. In fact, all of the others he would watch them all closely.

Sawyer strode towards them and then veered towards Claire. He smiled a little at her. "Ello." he said. His voice was pleasent sounding.

Claire held her baby close to her.* She had always been weary of sawyer, even though deep down she thought she could see the good person.* He was a little more sawyer then usual today.* A little off.* "hi."* she said quietly.* The baby was sleeping so she had to stay put.* With the strange happenings on the island she never let the baby out of her site.* She had lost her home, her future, lost so much, yet she had found one thing.* Charlie.* Despite all of her mistrust, her fear, he had made her feel safe.* He helped her with the baby and actually cared about her. When they had first crashed no one looked her way, they were all afraid.* The blonde sat down next to her, and she looked from the baby to him.* "How are you today sawyer?"* She asked.

"I am very well thank-you, cup-cake." he said with a Southern drawl. He was dripping a little. "I went for a swim." he said, "Quite refreshing. If you want I can watch....the kid, if you want to." he offered

Sayid listened to the conversation. That was deffinately not like Sawyer.

"no. umm. i'm all right. thank you." She said polietly. she didn't trust anyone with the baby. Occasionally Charlie would watch her so that she could take a nap, or get some rest, but she wasn't ready to trust anyone else. Sawyer had shown goodness when he had protected her from ethan, what seemed like years ago, but she was not ready to trust him with her child. Sayid was looking at them both strangely, which made her a little more nervous. she looked over at sayid, curiosity in her eyes.

"Are you sure, cup-cake?" he asked her, "It is quite invigoratingand I wouldn't mind." He smiled at her. Sawyer looked to where Cliare was looking and smiled at Sayid, who smiled back weakly.

"Well, if you are sure, I'll be off to the beach." he said andwalked away.

When Sawyer went away, Sayid nodded to her to come here.He did not wish to cause an uproar, at least not until things were sure.

Claire watched as Sawyer left them. She walked over towards Sayid cautiously. The baby was still asleep, and she didn't want to wake her. She sat down next to him, and looked around to make sure nobody was listening. "What's going on?" He had called her over to warn her about something, but she wasn't sure what it was. Odds are, it had to do with Sawyer. "He's a little off today. A little more insistant." She paused. Why was Sawyer so interested in helping her with the baby? "Is everything all right?" she looked him in the eyes, not sure if she wanted to hear the answer.

Sayid looked up at her. Then he moved over so that she could have some room.

"Yes, very off." he agreed, "I am not sure. Months ago, when I went away from the camp. I met the French woman. She warned me of an illness that affected the people she was with and she killed them because of it. Gabrielle, she did not tell me what to look for except for a difference in action and Sawyer is the first to show any different signs."

He sighed and rubbed his eyes.

OOC: I'm sorry for my first post. It was my first ever role playing post so I had no idea what to do. I promise to post correctly from now on.

BIC:
Hurley looked out into the ocean, thinking about the new information that he had just learned. He had mixed feelings about it. On one hand, he was quite proud that Sayid would trust such delicate information to a man like Hurley. On the other hand, there was always the burden of knowledge unknown to others, the jealousy of ignorance.
"Woah," Hurley muttered under his breath. "That was like a jedi moment," Hurley closed his eyes and let the enviroment around him completely envelope him. The smell of the salt ocean, the sounds of whispering. Hurley look to see where the origins of the sound came from. His body tensed. Everyone was asleep. Hurley listened harder for the sound but the whispers were gone. Hurley ran to Sayid.

"I hope everything's okay. I mean..." she trailed off as she saw Hurley running towards them. Her heart fell to her feet. Whenever something good happened, something bad always followed. What Sayid said troubled her, and what she saw troubled her even more. She held onto the baby, and looked at sayid for some reassurance, but found none. "Sayid. What's happening?"

"Sayid. I need to talk to you, man." Hurley said as softly as possible, trying to not upset Claire. But Hurley could already see the fear in Claire's eyes start to grow. Hurley took Sayid by the arm and guided him somewhere out of earshot of Claire.
"I heard these whispers Sayid. They were coming from the jungle," Hurley said, waiting for Sayid to brush him off, to tell him that he was crazy and should get some sleep. But the troubled look on Sayid's face was more than Hurley needed.

He was trying not to frighten her, but he only made it worse. "Whispers? What whispers? Sayid..." She was panicing. "Sayid, what is he talking about?" She couldn't help panicking, and the baby started to fuss. "What aren't you telling me?" She had never heard about the whispers, and given who she was, she wasn't sure if they were going to tell her. She waited to see if they would tell her anything, but the way they looked at her she already knew that they wouldn't, yet she sat there and waited for their response.

"We can't keep it a secret from her forever, Sayid," Hurley said. "And what if the people whispering aren't asking for a cup of sugar? Do you want to risk Claire getting abducted again?"
Claire had a confused and an angry look on her face. Hurley decided it was best.
"I heard whispers out in the jungle. I couldn't tell what they were saying though." Hurley looked to the ground, not wanting to see the looks Sayid and Claire were giving him.

OOC: Hey, don't appologise. It was a fine post! I am glad you all joined in. There is no a wrong way to rp, exceptwhen you post one sentence, details are fun and can be very fun to write.

BIC: Sayid looked at th eothers. "We are not safe if he has it." he said quietly

Sayid watched Hurley walk away. He cocked his head. Where was he going?" Sayid stoodand was about to follow him, when Hurley came running towards him. "What?" he asked, "What happened?" He knew something was wrong - that was the only reason for someone to run in such a hurry.

Sayid shook his head. "I don't know. At least not yet." he admits reluctantly. He did not like not knowing something and he did not like admitting it either.

The Iraqi let Hurley pull him off. He closed his eyes as Hurley spoke. "Are you sure you couldn't understand what they were saying?" he asked. He remembered Sawyer and Jackspeaking of them briefly, but he could not remember what they ment. "I don't want to riskanyone getting taken." he said, "Though I am afraid we have something much more dangerous on our hands and deadly. Do you know what that woman did when her crew got ill? She shot them all - including her son and husband. I don't want it to get to this. Maybe Gabrielle knows a cure, if this is what Sawyer has. One that can be administered ealy enough so that it does not have to result in a shoot-out."

"Two other times there were whispers - Jack heard them and so did Saywer, but that was months ago. There has been no sign of them until today." Sayid explained

"Why didn't you tell us about the whispers before?" Hurley asked, not even bothering to try to disguise the anger in his voice. "It would've been nice to know that there are other people on this island besides the French Woman and Ethan!"
It wasn't until that moment did Hurley realize how out of the loop he was.

"Jack asked for it not to be spoken of and it hasonly happened two times." he said, "There has also been no other sign of anyone else here. I have not evenseen Gabrielles footprints when I have been hunting."

He looked at Hurley with a firm gaze.


OOC: It wasn't until that moment did Hurley realize how out of the loop he was. - not sure what you mean.

OOC: What I meant by that was how he wasn't really getting information, how he wasn't really part of the inner circle.

BIC: Hurley's anger was subsiding. He sighed. "I didn't mean to get so angry. It's just...I'm scared right now. It's not everyday you're stranded on an island with a big ole' monster running around, a French woman sending a distress signal for 16 years, and people whispering in the jungle. But I guess it's everyday life here." Hurley looked up from the ground and at Sayid's face. "I'll just get some sleep now." Hurley walked back to the beach, hyper aware of any noises around him.

OOC: oh, k.

Do you wanna play someone other then Hurley?

BIC: "You have a right to be." he said and did not admit that he too was afraid. He pressed his lips together and nodded. "That would be a wise thing to do." he said

Jack walked up to Claire and Sayid after Saywer had left.

"Claire can I see the baby for a minute I want to make sure its not infected or anything" he said looking it over. He checked it out and smiled

"So far the only problem I can find is that we don't have any clothes for children its size and it'll be a couple years at least before it can fit into walts" Jack laughed before adding more somberly "I saw you talking to Sawyer is everything alright, I don't entirely trust him" he looked at her before saying "A couple of weeks ago I was minding my own buisness in the woods and said something my dad always said and sawyer began to ask me all these wierd questions for what he claimed was no reason, I haven't done any psychatry since med school but I think there might be something wrong with him. I want you to tell me if he does anything else kind of weird and make sure not ot tell Charlie I don't want him to get to worried about it"
