I think I got them all! I just thought this would be fun, because most of the other Roleplays have already started. Just tell me who you would like to be, and I'll sign you up! We will start when a good number of characters have been taken. You can create your own character, but I would prefer you to play a Main one as well! You can play more than one character. Thankies!

I could RP as Walt and Boone, that is, if this RP is still going to happen. I hope it is.

Me too! You can be them...but we need to recruit people! :)

I'll be Kate!!!! ;D

Cool- I didn't expect anyone to start a new one.

I'll be Charlie, so it'll be easy to remember who I am :D Plus I identify with Charlie pretty well. (no, never been a druggy ;))

I'll be Sayid. I'm kinda like him.

I'll be Claire, since I have a creepy guy trailing me, I kinda relate to her. lol I'm not pregnant, though.

I think we will be getting started soon! I will play Sawyer if no-one comes, but I think we need a Jack before we can officially start. I'll give it a day and then we will start either tonight or tomorrow!

If no one comes for Jack, I can easily play Jack- I'll just define who I am at the beginning of my posts. Is that ok?

Sounds great Charlie!* :)

I think I will go ahead and start...I think we shall take this from the end of "Numbers." If there are people who have not seen it, then we won't.

Shannon

Shannon laid down in the sand, waiting for the men to return from their jungle search. She wondered if they had found the Frenchwoman. She had spent so much time with Sayid, pouring over the mysterious woman's notes, but she realized that she had no inkling of who the woman actually was. She pulled out a bottle of cherry red nailpolish and started applying to to her toenails. She knew that from an outsiders point of view, she must look horribly shallow, but she found that she didn't care.

Sawyer

Sawyer was sitting in what remained of his tent. Although he had no tent, he still felt like this was his piece of the island. He looked over to the progress that Micheal and Walt were making on the boat. He knew that he really should help, but he found that he couldn't. He didn't want to ruin his reputation, it might make him appear weak. He chuckled to himself. He found it funny that he was so worried about what other people thought on the island. He hadn't really cared much in the real world.

If no one comes, I'll be Sun as well.

Okay! Awesome...well I started, and I hope this is turns out to be good!

One question ;)... why is this RP called On The Beach if some of us should be at the caves? Or am I really, really tired and missing something important... lol.

Charlie

Hurley, Sayid, Jack, and Charlie were just coming out of the forest, and heading towards the campfires that could be seen flickering in the dusk. Charlie was somewhat envious of Hurley getting to meet the French lady... he would have liked to talk with her. He was getting tired of waiting on the island for something to happen, for someone to come, and he thought the French lady (had he heard that her name was Danielle?) might provide him with some answers. But as much as he asked, Hurley avoided the question of what she had told him.
His questions would have to wait for a while longer, or forever, he supposed. Charlie could see some people coming towards them now, but in the dimming light; he couldn't tell who it was. He knew exactly where he was going after he had warmed up by a fire for a bit though.

Jack

Jack was exhausted after the long hike, looking for Hurley at first; and then after finding him, setting off in search of Danielle. This wasn't what he had intended to do at first... his main goal was to find Hurley and bring him back. But some things came up and they ended up heading off with Hurley in search of Danielle. Sayid had led them, although he was extremely reluctant about doing so before they found Hurley, something had changed his mind. What he wondered now was what did Danielle tell Hurley? He seemed very different after talking to her...

ooc- I was very tierd when I created it! Not the best title I guess...haha

Sawyer

Sawyer looked up when he saw the 4 men returning. He noticed the wearied look on their faces, and wondered what had happened out there. He looked at Jack. "Hey Doctor. Anything interesting happen that I should know about?" He asked.

Shannon

Shannon over heard Sawyer call someone Jack over to them, and looked up. They were back? She stood up and looked, hoping to see Sayid. She had to know if he was safe or not.

If it's not too late, I'd like to Hurley. And If no one's willing to be Locke, I suppose I could give his character a go!

That would be great xhopelessx! I added you to the list, so just jump right in. Also...I think that some people might have forgotten about this, so if they don't come back, and some other people want to play, then that is fine with me!

Sun

Sun looked hopelessly at Micheal and Jin working on the boat. Watching Micheal attempt to communicate with Jin did serve as an amusement, but it only made her miss Jin more. She wondered how he was doing. All she could think about most of the time was him. Not the man he had become, but the man he was when he proposed to her. She turned her attention to the four men returning from the hike. They were looking a bit grim, except for Hurley, who looked relieved more than anything. She felt relieved herself, knowing that everyone was back safe.

Claire

Claire saw the four men returning. She watched as Sawyer started talking to them. Suddenly she felt a familiar thumping in her belly. She put her hand on her belly and smiled. She suddenly wondered why she wanted to give this baby away. Her mind wandered to the memory of trying to sign her name on the paper. It took three pens, and then she didn't even sign it. It was meant to be.
Charlie was standing over by the fire. Claire decided to focus on trying to remember something. She'd talk to Charlie later.

ooc: I'll PM some of the people who haven't posted yet, just to tell them that the Role Play has started.

Jack

Sawyer smiled, waiting for Jack to respond. Jack turned and pointed at Hurley...

"Ask Hurley, there."

Then he walked off and sat down beside a fire. Kate was there, and no one else at the moment. As Jack sat down, Kate started to talk...

Charlie

Charlie had just stood up angrily after talking to Hurley, and now he was walking down the shoreline silently. He wondered why Hurley was being so stubborn, all Charlie was trying to do was chat a little with him, but he obviously wanted no part of it.

Jack had decided not to go back to the caves that night, because the night was already upon them; and he wanted no part of hiking back to the caves in the dark. Charlie however, wasn't even planning on going back to the caves. He was going to stay on the beach now, so he could be near Claire. Wondering suddenly where she was, he turned around and looked up the beach. He hadn't seen her since he had gotten back from the hike.

The killing of Ethan still weighed heavily on Charlie's mind... But he had done it for Claire, and that was what really mattered. There was someone sitting on the beach a little ways away. After squinting to see who it was, Charlie realized it was Rose. He wanted to talk to her right now... but then again he didn't. Turning around, he walked back to the campfires, staring at the sand under his feet.

Locke

As nightfall had fallen upon them, Locke emerged from the woods. He was silent, and seemed to go unoticed. He paused for a short moment to take in the sight of the beach. It was calm, either the people were either getting ready for bed, or talking amongest themselves. He also noticed that the four men had returned...safely. He sighed under his breath and step back into the woods. He would come back in the morning, maybe. As he headed back into the shadows of the woods, it occured to him that he hadn't really been to the beach or to the caves in awhile...

Hurley

"Finally!" Hurley thought to himself, as the beach came into sight. He tried to avoid the many eyes that shifted in their directions. He was in no mood to talk to anyone who hadn't been with them. At least, not now. All he wanted was to settle himself by the fire, so he could warm himself up.

He had only just sat down in the cool sand when he was approached by Charlie...He listened to Charlie as he told him about him being a drug addict. Of course, he had believed Charlie. But, he wasn't sure that it would be the other way around; especially the fact that he was about to tell Charlie the truth.

"Correct!" He thought to himself as Charlie raised his voice. He watched as Charlie stormed off. He sighed under his breath. Just when he had finally told someone the truth, they didn't beleive him. He told himself that it was okay, that it should have been something he was used to. But, somewhere deep down, he knew it wasn't.

"Ask Hurely, there"

Hurley turned to see who had spoken, and his eyes fell on Jack and Sawyer, breifly. He looked at the flames that were licking the logs. He hoped that Sawyer would just leave it at that and not bother him. Hurley yawned...he was about ready for bed. Yeah, sleep sounded good to him right now, and it would give him a good reason to avoid question. And maybe, first thing in the morning he would go back to the caves.

<I hope that was okay. I just need to time to get into Hurley's and Locke's characters.>

Sayid. After coming back from the Jungle Sayid was tried and hungray. About to go to his tent and get a bite he rembered Shannon. She'd been worried about him going into the jungle. His eyes searched for and spoted her stand up, he walked over to tell her what had happened

ooc: Okay on other forums with RPGs if you posted Out of Character then we would just put these (( )) before and after our statement ((like this)) it easy and stands out.

ooc:* ((that sounds fine to me... but I'll still post the "ooc" part at the beginning just to be safe. ;)

Hey, hopeless, yeah that was good. :)* I liked it at least.* I wanted to ask ShayidFan how exactly she was going to do this... are we going to follow along with the show?* Or will we kind of go off on our own now, or what?))

Kate

As jack sat down kate started to talk and said.. today.. when you went out looking for hurley and then went to look for the french women.. i couldnt stop thinking about you. we're stranded on an island.. and i doubt anyone will find us.. so i dont really know where this is going... jack replys saying..

ooc- Whatever you guys want! We can go along with the show, or we can just go with the flow? I think I like the latter best, that way we don't have to be tied down about anything.

Sawyer

Sawyer smiled at Hurley, showing each of his dimples to their full extent. He looked at the man, and could tell that he didn't want to be pressed. "I guess I don't have to know about your little jungle trek. I guess I could wait till tomorrow to find out all the juicy details." He said to himself, yet loudly enough for Hurley to hear.

Shannon

Shannon had walked around the side of the boat to wait for a glimpse of the men. She was begining to think that Sayid hadn't returned to the beach when she caught sight of him walking towards her. She ran over to him, her hair flying this way and that.

"Hey!" She said breathlessly, pulling her pink shawl tighter around her. "How was the trek...thing." She said with a smile. "I tried not to worry to much." She added casting her eyes downward so that he wouldnt' see the blush creeping into her cheeks.

OOC: (( I'm still here, so no one take my spots. :) I'll post really soon. Sorry I'm so slow. Lol ))

Boone

Boone stepped over a fallen tree as he walked through the jungle. The jungle was his new home it seemed. It was a peaceful place most of the time. So peaceful, in fact, that he hadn't been back at camp for a few days. He had enough rations for a few more days out in the jungle, and it wasn't as if anyone noticed, or cared for that matter, about his absence. Everyone thought him to be a worthless screw-up anyway. After pausing for a moment to have a drink of water, he continued to walk, each footstep bringing him deeper and deeper into the jungle.

Walt

Walt looked upon the brand new raft his father, Jin, and a few others, including himself, had begun to make. A twinge of guilt went through him. He felt so selfish, yet this place, this island, was strangely beginning to feel like home. He was tired of moving around here and there. He just wanted to have a normal life, but that is impossible when you're anything but normal.

Sayid: Well Hurley found the French Lady and got his battery. Jack and I got seperated from Charlie and Hurley, we found the French Lady's hideout but she moved everything and rigged It to explode if someone sent of the trip wire, which Jack did. Cept now that Hurley saw the French Woman he's been acting kinda wierd, other than that it was refreshing.

Sun

Sun was watching the waves crash on the shore. They seemed much higher than yesterday. Sun began talking to herself when she realized there was a sound behind her. It was coming from the jungle, and as she turned around, she saw the familiar rustling of trees deep in the jungle. Somehow she's glad that no one's in the jungle, everyone's on the beach today. Oh, well, it's a nice day...

Claire

Claire was flipping through pages of her diary. She was so frustrated that she felt like tearing out the pages she had written pre-crash. She could remember bits and peices, but that was all. She continued to look through the pages and try and piece together what had happened.
Claire saw Charlie standing by himself by the fire. She decided to run over and talk to him. "Hi Charlie," she said, trying to sound as happy as possible. Not that spending time with Charlie made her sad. No way. In fact, it made her feel safer. "How are you?"

ooc: ((sorry if this sounds fake, I'm still getting used to this))

OOC:* ((I would agree with the going with the flow idea- but the problem is, if we did that, we would have to constantly be coming up with good plots.* Which I do not want to have to do THAT much ;).*

If we "follow" along with the show, we can use the plot as it changes but do this...* *We can fill in the gaps between episodes, we can add to them even, by adding to the story of the characters that werent' used much in the particular episode, or even adding to the ones that were largely used.* If we do it this way... I think we'll be able to keep everything more "real".* What do you think, guys and girls?

(currentlylost:* You're doing alright, and like you said you'll get into the flow soon.* :))))

ooc- ((Charlie! You are genius with a wonderful mind, and I think your ideas are great. So kiddos, listen to Charlie!))

ooc: ((too many compliments :-[, I don't really deserve any- but I AM glad that you liked the idea. Don't make the others listen to me though, everyone must have their own opinion. :)))

Jack

Jack replied to Kate. "I haven't heard you talk that way before. You've always thought that someone would come for us." He paused. Took a drink of fresh water and then continued. "I'm not sure if I like it. You've always been the one here with real hope. But then again... you're more than likely right."

Charlie

"I'm ok." Charlie smiled, looking up to see Claire coming over to him. "How's the baby doing?"

Boone

The heat and humidity were unbearable as he trekked through the jungle. He was pushing himself to the limit, and If he didn't take a break soon, he'd most likely collapse from exhaustion. He soon found himself a nice cool spot on the ground that was next to a large downed tree. There he layed his back against the tree trunk and put his pack behind his head to act as a pillow. After making sure his knife was close by and available to be used at a moment's notice, he fell asleep.

kate

Kate embarrased told jack "yea i know have, but its about time we start thinking real. And thats not exactly what i meant" she stared at him for a seconed then got up and said "i'll talk to you later". Then she walked over to sun feeling sorry for her and said "have you talked to jin yet?"

((looks like Jin and Micheal are still available, can I play those? ;) ))

ooc- Of course! You are welcome to play them Zoriah.

Shannon

Shannon smiled at softly and Sayid. "You must be hungry." She said, leading him over to her shelter. "I have some fruit and other things." She said, pointing to a basket. "Your welcome to eat anything in there." She said down and pulled her hair off her face. Something was different about the beach tonight. She looked around, and a thought came to her head. Boone wasn't here. She frowned and stood up. "I'll be right back." She told Sayid.

The blonde marched over to Jack who was in the middle of a conversation with Kate, but this was too important to wait for them to finish. She tapped him on the shoulder. "Have you seen my brother?" She asked.

Sawyer

Sawyer pulled out his copy of "Watership Down," And opened it to the page where he had left off. He looked over to Shannon, who was interrogationg Jack and smiled to himself. "You can come stay with me for the night, if you can't find your brother Sticks." He called to her, noting the disgusted look on her face as she ignored him.

Sayid: Sayid started to say thanks but Shannon said she had to go find Boone and took off.
He watched her run over to Jack then pick up a coconut and started eating.

Micheal

Micheal straightened his exhausted body, and wiped his forearm across his sweat slicked brow. Damn, he was tired. He hadn't even realised how late it had gotten until he'd nearly slashed his hand while working in the raft in the dimming light. Jin was next to him, still working away, with silent determination. Things had been strange since Jin had offered to help rebuild the raft, kinda surreal, but in a good way. Micheal was glad that the korean man had not held a grudge against him for what'd happened when the raft had been sabotaged. Micheal didn't want to dwell on that too much. How violent he'd become, and in front of his own damn kid too. Speaking of...he quickly scanned the area, checking to make sure Walt was safe, and then breathed out a sigh of relief when he glimpsed him nearby, stacking more wood for them to use.

Micheal reached out and touched Jin's arm in a halting gesture.

"Okay, buddy. I think we've done enough for one day." Jin looked at him quizzically, and Michael mimed putting the tools down, and then pointed back towards the shelters, then he offered Jin a bottle of water from his bag. Jin finally nodded, accepting the water and stepped away from the crudely fashioned boat, beginning to follow Michael as he headed away from the shore.

"Walt. Come on, it'll still be there in the morning." If the saboteurs don't get to it first. "Let's give it a rest and find some dinner." Micheal ruffled Walt's hair and briefly hugged him close before trudging towards their makeshift shelter.


Jin

Jin was working diligently on the craft in front of him. His whole attention was focussed on doing the best job that he could. Chopping the wood just right, making sure that the pieces fit together snugly. He ran his fingers along the seams again, looking for anything that needed to be fixed or changed. While he was working though, he couldn't help but run the last conversation with his wife over and over again in his head. Where had he gone wrong? How had it come to this? It was true he'd felt betrayed by her actions, that she'd hidden so much from him. But even worse had been the look of doubt in her eyes, that he might have burned the boat after all. Something had broken inside of him to see how little she trusted him any more. When she'd asked to go back to the way they'd been he'd told her it was too late. The devastated look on her face had been too much to bear and he'd had to walk away. But the truth was that they could never go back to who they'd been before. It was clear that Sun no longer had faith in him, no longer loved the man he'd become. He himself hated how much he had changed. It had all been for her, for his 'dream' and yet somehow he had lost his way, and lost her in the process.

No, they couldn't go back. But perhaps they could go forward. Perhaps one day Sun would see the man she loved in him again, if he worked hard enough, if he showed her he was worthy of her trust and support. And so he'd let her be, removed himself from the caves so that she could feel free, and not feel smothered by him. He realised now that he'd tried too hard to protect her, crushed her like one of the delicate orchids he'd used to surprise her with. She was stronger than that, he knew it in his heart, but so often he'd feared she would leave him. Why would a woman of her standing, her grace and beauty, have ever looked upon a man of such humble heritage as himself when she could have married anyone she pleased? And he'd held on even more tightly whenever the fear had overtaken him. He saw now the damage he had wrought. Both of them had made mistakes, and paid the price, brought shame upon their marriage.

In a way, his working on the raft with Michael was a symbol of his hope that one day he and Sun could rebuild their marriage on the ashes of what had gone before. But before he could do that, he would have to give her time, and he would have to go slow and win her heart again. He would have to adjust to this new life and become useful, show he was a man worthy of knowing, and of loving.

He felt a light touch on his arm and looked up. Micheal was speaking to him in english, and he strained to hear any words he could recognize. Then Michael made some gestures and Jin understood that they were to finish working on the raft.

As they headed back to the camp, Jin glanced around to catch a glimpse of Sun. She'd been there watching for a while, and he wondered if she was going to stay at the beach or go back to the caves with the others. His own tiny shelter was a little way off from the others, but nearest to Micheal's without intruding upon the privacy of the man and his son.

Then he saw her, the breeze was lifting the hair from the nape of her neck, and she had on one of her short sleeved tops, the ones which exposed her slender arms and shoulders to the harsh sun, and to wandering eyes. Jin looked down at the ground and tried not to worry about her. He was no longer fit to be her husband. Still, he felt the need to approach her, he did not want her to think he was shunning her, putting the blame on her for everything. Another woman had gone up to talk to her, he had heard the others call her Kate. At least that was what it sounded like to him.

He came to stand at a respectful distance, and held out the bottle of water Michael had given him to Sun, not quite looking at either of the women.

"Sun, you have been out in the sun all day. Please accept this water...it is from Michael." Why had he said that? Did he think would be more likely to accept it if it didn't come directly from him, if he didn't insist she drink it to take care of herself? He waited, eyes lowered, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. But she was still his wife, and he wanted her to be well.

Then he noticed her glancing back to the jungle several times, as though she were unsettled about something.

"What is it? Is something wrong?"

ooc: ((where's my Claire?? ;)))

Jack

After watching Kate leave, Jack turned back to the fire in front of him. He was too tired to go after her, or even think far enough about what to say. The warm fire felt good on his sore limbs, as he leaned back and drank the last drop out of his water bottle. Then, standing slowly up, he began to search for something to use as a shelter for the night. He wasn't going back to the caves, not tonight, it was too late already for another hike in the jungle.

Shannon walked up behind Jack and gently tapped him on the shoulder, but it still surprised him.

"Do you know where my brother is?" She asked.

"No, I haven't seen him since I got back. But I would assume if he's not here that he's out in jungle still, with Locke. But how long has he been gone?"

Micheal
............How violent he'd become, and in front of his own damn kid too. Speaking of...he quickly scanned the area, checking to make sure Walt was safe, and then breathed out a sigh of relief when he glimpsed him nearby, stacking more wood for them to use.........."Walt. Come on, it'll still be there in the morning." If the saboteurs don't get to it first. "Let's give it a rest and find some dinner." Micheal ruffled Walt's hair and briefly hugged him close before trudging towards their makeshift shelter.[

Walt

He wished now he had never done what he had. He didn't know how much longer he could live with the guilt; he almost completely ruined his dad's hopes for escape, and now his father was working so hard trying to build a new raft, pushing himself every day. What a selfish thing to do...

Walt forced a smile as he looked up at his dad and walked with him back to their shelter. Sooner or later, the truth would have to come out.

Boone

After falling asleep, Boone woke up a few hours later, feeling refreshed, yet hot and thirsty. Groaning a bit, he stood up and stretched, then picked up his backpack, unzipped it, and pulled out a bottle of water. He took a drink before pouring the rest on himself to cool off. There was plenty of water left where that came from. Making sure his knife was at his waist, he walked on. Only one more day in the jungle until he'd head back to the beach. Hopefully by then he'd find what he'd at first went into the jungle to find: boars. The hatch, very surprisingly, wasn't his main priority at the moment. He assumed Locke was busying himself with that.

Shannon

Shannon shrugged. "I don't know how long he's been gone, I just noticed that he wasn't here." She said, biting her lip. She tried not to betray the emotion that she was feeling about her brother being gone, but she was sure that Jack would be able to see the confustion, and fear on her face.

What if her brother was dead. Sure Boone was only her step-brother, but she couldn't imagine anything happening to him. She had done some pretty bad stuff to him over the years. But he had stood by her. He had been her rock, her refuge. When her short lived marriage to some bozo failed when she was 18, he had been there for her. When she had started throwing up her food every day, Boone had been the one to try and help her. There had been no-one else.

After her father married Mrs. Carlyle, Shannon had felt so isolated. Her father didn't hug her anymore. Boone's mother hated Shannon, and that was starting to rub off on her father. She had hated Boone at first. He was so perfect on the outside. And even after all the things they had dealt with in the recent years. Shannon's lies, and scams. And that one night in Australia. And yet he had still been her friend...until Locke took him away from her.

"Well thanks." She said to Jack starting to head away.

Jack

Turning to call after Shannon as she was leaving, Jack called out. "Come and get me if he isn't back by morning. But I wouldn't worry about him, he's fine out there with Locke."

Now continuing his search for a bit of shelter to sleep under for the night, Jack walked on. Passing Claire and Charlie standing beside a fire, talking, Jack began to think about Claire again. He wasn't so sure that when she had the baby if it would survive. She had been through a lot of stress lately, and that wasn't good for the baby... or Claire, for that matter. It wouldn't be long now... just a few more days.

Michael

Michael rummaged in the tent and grabbed some green bananas, they weren't ripe and would have to be cooked on the fire. It wasn't much but it would do for now until they had had another fishing expedition in the morning. Micheal new that they couldn't just subsist on fruit, especially Walt. It did things to your digestion to only eat fruit, he knew that from somewhere, Discovery channel or something. Wasn't much he could do about it until Locke brought back another boar or they caught more fish. Michael resolved to ask Jin about it in the morning since he seemed to be good at catching them.

Michael handed Walt some of the bananas, and began to walk towards the big communal fire.

"Where's Vincent? Haven't seen him all day." Michael asked, trying to engage with his son.

Walt

Walt grimaced as he looked at the bananas. More fruit...just great... "Vincent ran off into the jungle again, Dad. I hope he's okay." Walt had become very attached to that dog and a pained expression covered his features.

Boone

As Boone walked through the jungle, he heard a rustling and saw the movement of leaves directly in front of him. He stopped right away and dared not even breathe too loudly. In his silence, he could hear whatever it was sniffing at the ground. Then he caught a glimpse of the creature, and a smile broke on his usually unhappy face. It was a small to medium sized boar, obviously away from the rest of its mates, and much to Boone's delight, it was oblivious to the man about to end its life. Slowly, Boone unsheathed his knife and held it in a position Locke had shown him that was best for a quick, swift kill. He lunged almost cat-like at the boar. The struggling animal didn't know what hit it, and before it could put up a struggle, Boone had pushed the knife right through its head. (OOC: Disgusting! Lol) He yelled triumphantly, and threw the bleeding carcass over his shoulder. He had to get back to camp quickly before the animal began to rot. Luckily, it was turning dark, and if he made the trip in the dark the animal wouldn't rot as quickly as it would during the extreme heat of the day.

After an entire night of walking, the corpse still seemed to be alright. The sun was starting to come up, and Boone figured he wasn't that far from camp, so he stopped for an hour's rest. He looked worse for the wear: his shirt was muddy and bloodied, his pants were ripped in some spots, and his hair was sticking up in all directions. He definitely needed a shower.

After his little rest, he started up his trek back to camp once again. Before he knew it, he heard voices and the ocean... the beautiful ocean.... He stumbled out of the jungle onto the beach. The carcass was still on his back.

Shannon

Shannon nodded at Jack, and headed back down the beach. It wasn't until she was closer to her own tent when she saw a figure stumbing onto the beach, something dark on it's back.

She moved closer, staying hidden behind tree, when she noticed the familiar face of Boone. She gasped, and noticed that the dark shape on his back was infact an animal carcass. A boar. He had finally found meat for them to eat.

She ran over to her step-brother. "Are you okay?" She asked, brushing some hair out of his face.

ooc: ((I think we need to talk about my Claire abandoning me. ;)

Boone

Seconds after stumbling out of the jungle, someone came running towards him and on closer inspection he saw it was Shannon. She looked a bit distraught, and he felt conflicting feelings. Part of him wanted her to feel like that, as a sort of payback for how he felt over the years, but part of him felt quilty for causing her such grief, even when everytthing she did that caused him to feel that way was taken into account. He would always love her, and nothing could change that, but his experience in the jungle with Locke and the monster allowed him to do things for himself for a change. He felt freer, yes, but really lonely. The mere gesture by Shannon (brushing the hair out of his face) made him feel happier than he had felt in many days. Brushing his thoughts aside he smiled and said, "Aside from being tired and a smelling mess, I'm fine, Shan. Just brought some take-out home. Hope everyone's hungry."

ooc- ((Charlie, maybe you could PM the person who is playing Claire, but if they arn't back by tomorrow, anyone can have her, or I'll play her until we find someone else.))

Shannon

Shannon smiled, and wrinkled her nose. He was pretty smelly. She called over to Jack and the other. "Boone found a boar!" She said with a smile. She turned back to her brother and sighed. "I've been waiting so long for good food." She said thoughtfully. "And Sayid and the other just got back from their hike in the jungle, so I'm sure they'll appreciate the food too." She said, glancing over to Sayid, who was still sitting on her blanket, eating the fruit that she had picked for him.

Sawyer

Sawyer stood up and lazily walked over to Shannon and Boone. He had heard her shout about the food, and wanted to get the boar roasting so that he could finally eat something decent. He approached them, a cocky grin on his face. "Need help with that?" He asked Boone, "I didnt' think you would be able to drag something that big through the jungle alone Pretty Boy." He said with a smirk.

((hmm where did my Sun go? :) ))

ooc ((Yep. That's the same person as my Claire. :D ))

I suppose I should start looking for someone to take Claire's place. Hm...

I have another issue.... Kate is missing too. :laugh: *sigh* We need people who will stick around.

Shannon

Shannon smiled, and wrinkled her nose. He was pretty smelly. She called over to Jack and the other. "Boone found a boar!" She said with a smile. She turned back to her brother and sighed. "I've been waiting so long for good food." She said thoughtfully. "And Sayid and the other just got back from their hike in the jungle, so I'm sure they'll appreciate the food too." She said, glancing over to Sayid, who was still sitting on her blanket, eating the fruit that she had picked for him.

Sawyer

Sawyer stood up and lazily walked over to Shannon and Boone. He had heard her shout about the food, and wanted to get the boar roasting so that he could finally eat something decent. He approached them, a cocky grin on his face. "Need help with that?" He asked Boone, "I didnt' think you would be able to drag something that big through the jungle alone Pretty Boy." He said with a smirk.


Boone

"It's not much meat, but at least it's something. Too much fruit is a killer," he said while grimacing. Then he noticed someone sauntering over. "Well look who's decided to join us," Boone quietly said to Shannon, after noticing that it was Sawyer. Sawyer was his usual cocky self. "No, I don't need any help," Boone responded through clenched teeth. Suddenly Boone's expression changed to one of amusement as he said, "And I didn't think you'd ever be able to get off your a$$, Sawyer." With those words he shoved the boar in Sawyer's hands and walked off towards the ocean to get cleaned up.

((Well I can drop Jin if we have no Sun and play Kate instead. :) ))

Michael

Walt's face was crumpled with a worried frown and Michael crouched down and tugged him closer.

"Hey, the pooch knows how to take care of himself. Vincent survived a couple of days on his own in the jungle before we even saw him. He'll be okay. If he's not back by tomorrow, I promise I'll go look for him with the whistle. Deal?"

While he waited for a reply from his son, Michael noticed that Boone had returned and was talking to his sister, and was that a boar he had with him? He watched as Sawyer made his way over to the two siblings and spoke to them gesturing at the boar, and then as Boone stalked angrily off down to the shoreline to wash his hands. That troublemaker Sawyer sure knew how to win friends and influence people.

ooc: ((oh, you're a girl? lol... sorry, odd question ;)))

(( Heheh Yep! Just took Jin and Micheal because they were all that were left. I'd love to do Kate if the other Kate is gone. :D ))

ooc-((That would be fine if you want to be Kate. I can sub as Claire as well. But if anyone wants to play them, or you guys want to find someone, that is fine too! But for now, I'll be Claire and Zoriah can be Kate!))

Shannon

Shannon smiled, and trudged of after her brother, waving her fingers at Sawyer, a stupid sort of grin on her face. She chased after Boone. "Can I do anything for you?" She asked. "I was worried about you. I thought you had just dissappeared into the jungle with Locke." She said with a sigh.

Sawyer

Sawyer took the boar and almost fell over. The smell was horrible, and he cursed to himself. "Can someone please help me." He called out to the others on the beach. He looked down into the cold, unmoving eyes of the boar and groaned. He hated dead anythings, and he could feel his stomach starting to swirl as he held the animal.


Charlie

"I'm OK."* Charlie smiled, looking up to see Claire coming over to him.* "How's the baby doing?"


Claire

Claire smiled. "It kicked earlier. I mean, it kicks a lot, but this one was special." She said, taking off her hat and setting in the sand. She sat down and patted the spot next to her, signaling him to sit beside her. She smiled to herself. Never in a million years would she have thought that she would be sitting next to a guy like Charlie. He was everything that good boyfriend shouldn't be. He was a rockstar, and an ex-drug addict. But his smile, and everything that he did for her made up for the faults.

Besides, the island had changed them all. Claire couldn't believe how many blessings she had witnessed from just watching these people. Over the weeks, she had seen Sawyer smile with Kate a few times. Shannon's rough demeanor was slowly diminishing, and Micheal and Walt were becoming closer. Even with all the things that she had been through. She had been kidnapped by a mad man, and she could hardly remember anything since the crash. Yet, somehow she still felt the need to smile. She still felt happy. She put her hands on her stomach, running them over the bump as if she could somehow comfort the child inside with this gesture.

She turned to Charlie and gave a small smile. "I've been remembering some things." She said with a smile. "I remember the first night we were here. Hurley gave me two airplane meals instead of one." She said. "I know it's not much, but it's a memory. And right now I'm glad for them."

I'm still here to play kate but ive just been waiting for Sun to reply

((Okay no probs :D I'm waiting on Sun too, oops))

ETA: (( Sorry my fault I didn't see Kate was talking to Sun, will modify my post as Jin so that he comes up to the both of them if that's okay?))

Michael

Walt's face was crumpled with a worried frown and Michael crouched down and tugged him closer.

"Hey, the pooch knows how to take care of himself. Vincent survived a couple of days on his own in the jungle before we even saw him. He'll be okay. If he's not back by tomorrow, I promise I'll go look for him with the whistle. Deal?"



Walt

Walt felt somewhat better by his father's reassuring words and said, "Okay, deal." Walt smiled slightly, but what he'd done was still knawing at him and he couldn't possibly hold it in much longer.


Shannon

Shannon smiled, and trudged of after her brother, waving her fingers at Sawyer, a stupid sort of grin on her face. She chased after Boone. "Can I do anything for you?" She asked. "I was worried about you. I thought you had just dissappeared into the jungle with Locke." She said with a sigh.

Sawyer

Sawyer took the boar and almost fell over. The smell was horrible, and he cursed to himself. "Can someone please help me." He called out to the others on the beach. He looked down into the cold, unmoving eyes of the boar and groaned. He hated dead anythings, and he could feel his stomach starting to swirl as he held the animal

Boone

On shore, Boone took his shoes, socks, and other dirty clothes off (keeping his boxers on, you dirty minded people, lol) and was about to wade into the ocean when he heard Shannon running up behind him. He turned around to face her, and after she spoke, he sighed as well, put his hand on her shoulder and then very sincerely, he said, "I'm sorry that I worried you..." He knew how she felt; he had felt that way for years about her. Then he removed his hand, and with a slight grin forming on his face, he said, "You don't need to do anything for me, but, he," Boone motioned to Sawyer, "is a whole other story, I think."

Micheal

"Okay, deal."

Michael resisted the urge to ruffle Walt's hair again, probably'd be embarrassed if he did. A hunch told him that Walt had something else on his mind too, some other worry, but Michael decided not to press the issue just yet. This trying to be a father*to Walt was so damn hard sometimes. He didn't know what the best thing would be to do, ask Walt about what was bothering him ?Or wait for Walt to tell him? I guess I need to lay off being too pushy or else he might think I'm overdoing the dad thing, Michael thought.

"Good." Michael replied and set some of the bananas to roast on the embers of the communal fire. "Can you watch these for a few minutes? I want to go speak to someone. Looks like Boone got us a boar. I wonder where Locke's got to though..."

Michael wandered over to where Sawyer was standing.

"Boone caught that single handed? Looks like he's earning his keep." Michael commented, giving Sawyer a look as if to say, and how about you?

Shannon

Shannon laughed as she saw looked over to see Sawyer single handedly trying to deal with the boar. She turned back to Boone, still smiling. She didn't know why she was so glad that he was back safe. Maybe it was because he was the one person that had always been there for her. Maybe it was because he was the person who made her feel worthless and special all at the same time. Maybe it was because he was the only person who really knew her on this island.

She smiled. "I'm proud of you for catching that boar all by yourself. People are going to love you for it." She said with a small smile.

Sawyer

Sawyer laughed sarcastically at Micheal. "Yeah. The Pretty Boy caught a boar. Just because he's been taking jungle lessons with Locke." He said, rolling his eyes. He pushed the boar away from him. "Can you just help me carry this to somewhere where we can set it down, and eat it." He said in his country twang.

Walt

Walt's smile grew larger at the mention of boar meat, and when Michael asked him to keep an eye on the bananas, Walt said, "Sure, Dad." He watched his father walk off and then turned to the fire and the roasting bananas. He was terribly tired of bananas, and just looking at them made him feel sick. Of course, the bananas weren't the only thing making Walt feel sick inside.


Boone

He smiled back at her and shrugged. "Thanks, Shannon, but it's only one boar, and it's going to take more than that to be loved by everyone around here." He chuckled, but still his mind drifted back to the many times he screwed up; the botched mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on Rose, the time he tried to save the drowning woman, the bottled-water fiasco, falling asleep while on watch for Ethan. There were too many times to count.

He pushed his depressing thoughts aside and jokingly said, "Hey, is it just me or are we actually getting along?" He was glad to be getting along with Shannon for once -to actually talk to her without sharing snide and sarcastic remarks back and forth- and just to be gettting on well with her was well worth even coming back from the depths of the jungle, to the beach and to the island's own version of civilization.

((ooc: Jack has literally nothing to say until everyone falls asleep, lol. ;) Just letting you know why he hasn't posted for a while. Hopefully we'll be getting a new episode soon... because this is getting hard to drag out. ;)))

Charlie

"So... as of now, all of your memories consist of food. The peanut butter and airplane food. I would say something's wrong with you, but I suppose you are pregnant." Charlie winked at Claire. "You... you haven't been able to remember anything else? Nothing, about, um, Ethan?" He asked, speaking in a lower, more quiet tone. All he wanted to know was if she remembered the same thing he did...

Claire

Claire sighed and shook her head. "I can't remember a damn thing about that day. I've been trying, I really have. All I can remember is the fear." She said, remembering the bitter taste in her mouth that she felt when she tried to remember anything from that night. She rubbed her bump and let out a small yawn. "I'm tired. It's getting late. I think I might turn in for the night."

Shannon

Shannon smiled at her brother and sat down in the sand, fully aware that it would dirty her shorts. "I don't know. You seem different Boone. And I was really worried about you when you were in the jungle." She said. "I don't know what I would do if something happened to you."

Charlie]*

*"That's a good idea, I think I'll do the same."* Charlie stood up, looked around for some shelter that he might sleep under for the night, but he didn't see anything that wasn't already taken.* Claire was going to sleep out on the open beach, like a lot of other people.*

* *"I'll just sleep up the beach there, a little ways.* You won't even know I'm there.* 'Night."* Charlie walked up the beach a little ways, turned around to look back and then sat down on the sand.* Stretching out, he looked up at the stars.*
* *Claire couldn't remember the ordeal with Ethan, was that good, or bad?* In one way, Charlie had hoped she would remember, just so he could know he wasn't crazy.* But on the other hand, if she couldn't remember it; it was to her, almost as if she hadn't gone through it in the first place.* That was good.*

Charlie had told no one what he remembered.* No one.*

Boone

He had a thoughtful look on his face. "Yeah, I guess I am different, but aren't we all?" He paused. "Especially after this..." He was talking about the crash. "We'll never be the same," he finished as he took a seat next to her and looked out toward the water at the crashing waves. The sound was intoxicating. He turned his head to face her. "And if something happened to you, I'd be more lost than I already am." Laughing lightly, he stood up and walked the few feet that separated him from the water. "I'm going in," he announced before wading in until his entire body, sans his head, was covered. He dunked under for only a moment (he didn't want to worry Shannon anymore than he already had) before coming up and walking back onto the beach. He felt very refreshed, and it showed as his whole face lit up in a smile, the first real smile he had, well, smiled ((OOC: Lol)) since getting marooned on the island.

Shannon

Shannon yawned and stretched her arms above her head. "I think I'm going to head back up the beach and get settled down for the night." She said with a smile. "Night Boone."

Claire

Claire rolled over onto her side and clutched her stomach, letting herself succumb to the sleep that overcame her tierd body.

ooc- ((Okay! Once everyone is asleep we can start a new day, and let the characters do whatever they want!))

Michael

Michael looked at the boar and then back at Sawyer.

"Yeah I can help. But it will take a while. We have to skin and gut it first. I've got a knife that Locke gave me, I presume you have one? Just give me a minute."

Micheal headed back to the fire and filled in Walt about what was going on. The banana's looked about done, so Walt got them out and handed one to Walt.

"We'll have some meat cooking on the fire once we get finished preparing it. Was getting tired of the fruit, and I bet you were too." Micheal headed back to Sawyer and grudgingly offered him a roasted banana.

"So, where are we gonna do it? We probably shouldn't do it too close to camp, might attract scavengers. How about over there?" Michael pointed to an area of tufted tropical grass, some 200 yards away further up the shoreline. "Let's do this." and bent down to pick up the carcass.

Hurley

Hurley tossed aside Sawyer's comment. Even if he was in the mood to talk about it in the morning; he didn't plan on talking about it with Sawyer. It wasn't that he didn't havfe anything against Sawyer; it was just the fact that telling Sawyer would only benefit Sawyer. It would be giving Sawyer just what he wanted. At least, that was how Hurley felt. Hurley gaze around the beach, and saw that almost everyone had fallen asleep. He yawned, and stood up. He made his way to were he thought would be a good sleeping place for the night. As he laid down, he gazed up at the stars.

"I suppose they are crused." echoed the words of the french women.

Hurley smiled to himself. Tonight, the weight of what was the world to Hurley, was finally lifted from his shoulders. He felt like a new men. Even if nobody would hear out his story. Hurley closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

((sorry it confused me because Sawyer, Micheal, Jin, Walt, and Boone are still up if not more.))

ooc: ((aye, Jack's still up, and we don't know about Kate.

I wonder if we should start a new day or not. Hmm... I suppose we really have to, the new episode won't come until the 30th.))

Kate

Sun just stared out into the ocean and didn't answer so kate said "well ok.. i guess ill talk to you tomorrow then" she found a good spot to go to lie down then fell asleep.

Sawyer

Sawyer helped Micheal with the carcass, and they took it over to desolate spot on the beach. He ran a hand through his blonde hair, and looked at the boar. It didn't look very appetizing at that moment. He yawned and looked at Micheal. "Do you think we should leave this till morning Daddy?" He asked with a sarcastic smirk.

Shannon

Shannon yawned and stretched her arms above her head. "I think I'm going to head back up the beach and get settled down for the night." She said with a smile. "Night Boone."

Boone

He nodded at her and said, "Sleep well," then he headed to his own sleeping spot. There he changed into fresh clothes, and fell into the deepest sleep he had ever been in.

((OOC: Sorry so late! By the way, could someone else play Walt? Lol. I'm such a baby, but I am really busy during the week and it'd be easier to be one person. I don't know how the rest of you play so many characters at once. I would have gone crazy already trying to keep track of everything.))

((ooc- I guess I'll play Walt. He dosn't do much really...just talk to Micheal, and maybe some other people occasionally!))

((Don't underestimate how important he'll be later on though ;) I'll post as Jack later, if I can. We're getting close to the new eppy everyone!!))

ooc: ((sorry for my absence- been busy with the Easter weekend coming up :)))

Jack

After much searching, Jack decided to quit looking for any "civilized" shelter... Sawyer seemed to be one of only a few people who had something like that. More than half of the survivors that lived at the beach slept ON the beach. Jack had only become used to the shelter of the caves... sleeping on the beach would be fine. Laying down on the beach and stretching out, Jack Shepard looked at the stars. Perfectly fine. .... then it started drizzling.

ooc: ((we're pretty close to Wednesday... so I think we should decide on whether we actually want to start a new day or just wait until Wednesday. What do you all think?))

ooc- ((I say we wait until Wednesday! It's so close! :)))

((yeah, I'd hate for us to accidentally contradict something that happens in the episode))

((yeah, I'd hate for us to accidentally contradict something that happens in the episode))

((Yeah...So Wednesday it is! See you all then.))

((OOC: So are we ever going to start this up again? Lol.))

ooc: ((hehe, I was wondering the same thing- We probably should talk real quick about where we want to pick it up- because we COULD pick it up somewhere in the middle of the episode, which I would prefer. But we need to pinpoint a specific point. Any ideas?))

Who's the monster?

RuneMuse

ooc:* ((good questoin ;)*

Ok guys... we're wasting a lot of time here, unfortunately ;), so I'm going to make a suggestion...* We start here:*

Locke has just had his dream, consisting of whole "Theresa falls up the stairs..." thing, he's woken up Boone and they are heading into the jungle looking for the plane.*
Boone is with Locke
Jack is collecting the glasses to take to Sawyer.*
Kate (helping him?) ?
Charlie, no idea.* (do whatever you want)
Claire, no idea.* (do whatever you want)
Jin is with Michael building the raft.
Michael ^
Walt, no idea where he is.
Sun is in the garden?
Sayid, no idea, but he'll have to melt the glasses together soon.
Shannon, no clue where she is.
Hurley- same as above

Sound good?* I'll post as soon as I can...

Yes. Charlie thats perfect. I'll post later tonight...I'm too drained to think at the moment.

Are there any characters left? I'm easy, I'll be anyone. :angel:

Walt and Jin are open. And Sayid hasn't been here for a while. Shannon is getting lonely...

I guess I'll be Walt, I am on the other one too, but thats ok I can Play Sayeed too. ;)

Walt, "Were you looking for me?" "I was practicing my knife throwing in the Jungle, and Sayeed found me and taught me how to kill someone with one finger."

ooc: ((hey waltis, he's me little apprentice from N.U.M.B.E.R.S :) Look back thru some of the pages to see how everyone normally posts, etc, and then jump right in. :)

ShayidFan, remember to PM the person playing Sayid first; to warn them. ;) I couldn't access the Fuselage for two days (no clue why) and would have hated it if someone had taken Jack and Charlie. ;D))

Jack

The beach was quietly sunning itself while Jack searched for something. He wasn't quite sure how to go about finding glasses for Sawyer... about a fourth of the survivors wore glasses, but of course that didn't help Jack any. There had to be pairs upon pairs of glasses that had been taken off of the bodies before they were burned. At least, Jack hoped so. It would have been a waste not to save something useful like that. The only question now was, where were they?

After asking a few people, Jack had rounded up one pair of light yellowish glasses that no one wanted anymore. The lady that had given them to Jack said that she didn't need them anymore. When he inquired as to why, she told him that she could see again. Out of curiosity, Jack preformed a quick, simple, eye test on her to see if her eyesight was anything near 20/20. As far as he could tell, it was. Very odd... but he had no more time to wonder about it.

Thinking that he had gone over the entire beach, Jack decided that a short hike to the caves wouldn't hurt and might lend him some more search results.

Help Charlie, can I be Jin?

ooc: ((yeah, he and walt are wide open. And then if the person playing Sayid doesn't come back soon, someone will have to take him too))

Kate

Kate was really bored and thought she could either help Jack or go and see how Sawyer was doing. Because of his headaches Sawyer was a bit grumpy so she went ahead and asked Jack " Do you want any help finding glasses?"

((OOC: Hey everyone, I'm still here. Just unsure of what to post and whatnot. ))

ooc: ((That's cool, BF, I've gone thru that before.))

Charlie

Charlie was back in the caves now, after a relatively good night's sleep. It had sprinkled off and on during the night, but he had been able to ignore it, mostly. An early hike back to the caves in the morning with Jack and Hurley was all that Charlie had really "done" so far today. It was turning out to be another mundane day.

Strumming thoughtfully on his guitar, Charlie leaned back against the rock wall behind him and wondered what there was worth doing.

Jack

Turning, Jack answered her- "Sure, Kate. I was just leaving for the caves, I didn't find much here at the beach. Just this pair." Jack said, holding the glasses up for Kate to see." She laughed, and then Jack put them back in his pocket, smiling. "I know, Sawyer will never go for these. So I'm hoping to find something more at the caves." Kate nodded, and followed Jack into the jungle.

Sawyer

Sawyer could almost feel the headache. He had never felt a headache before. He grabbed his head, and winced. There was so much noise all around him, and it seemed to drill into his brain. He reached over for the damp towel, draping it over his forehead. Jack had looked at him, but Sawyer wasn't even sure if he had come up with a diagnosis.

He thought of his uncle. He had been a good guy, always happy. Then one day he had experienced headaches. A couple of months later he had been dead, a brain tumor the doctors had said. He winced as another stream of pain was sent through his head. He looked up the beach, shooting a glare at a couple of people who were being loud.

Shannon

Shannon was laying on the beach, idly flipping through the pages of another fashion magazine. She had read it so many times, and the pages were becoming bleached from the sun. She yawned and rolled over on her back, bringing her hand to her face to shade it from the sun. The last time she had been bored like this...she paused, she couldn't remember ever being this bored. She hadn't seen Sayid since the night before, and Boone had left with Locke a couple of hours before. She stripped off her tank top. If she was going to spend all day in the sun, she was going to get a tan while doing it. But if she found some work to do, she decided that she would help.

Claire

Claire heard a mild strumming sound coming from somewhere in the caves. She made her way towards, the noise, finding Charlie sitting with his guitar. She sat down beside him, clutching her stomach. She had been having some pains earlier, but she shrugged them off. She was used to the baby now, and all the aches that came with it. She smiled, "Hello there Stranger." she said. "Where have you been this morning?" She asked.

Boone

The plane was unsteady, and he should have known better, but the voice on the other end beckoned to him and held him a few moments too long. Suddenly there was a great sound and shifting and long with the plane he fell to the ocean floor, blacking out for just a moment, only coming to when he felt someone pulling him out of the battered metal machine. His own body was battered, but he wouldn't feel the full brunt of the pain until back at camp and layed out like a slab of meat as Jack looked over him with worry in his eyes and tone of voice. Boone groaned and shook and felt himself slipping away. Slipping away into the unknown, where pain was non-existent, and all problems were gone, almost as if they were never there in the first place.

((OOC: This was so sad to write. Argh.))

ooc: (( I was expecting a little more Locke and Boone before this happened, but it's good. In fact, it really may be the best because *looks at watch* it's Tuesday!!! 0_0 We need Locke now... should someone PM xhopelessx perhaps? I'll try to get Jack moving along))

((OOC: Yeah, I just decided to leave out all that stuff out considering the fact that Locke is AWOL and it's Tuesday. I'm so anxious right now. It's just a show, and I probably shouldn't be taking it so seriously, but I just can't help it. I have a feeling that I'm going to be pretty sad tomorrow.))

ooc:* ((I know :(...* We need to decide on something though.. we PROBABLY can't actualy finish the Deus Ex Machina material tonight, before the show.* So should we even try?* There may be a large break in between new episodes after this [I don't know for sure] so if we take it slow... and go thru the next episode... we might have something to do in the break between episodes.* What do you all think?* In any case, we surely can't finish the Deus Ex Machina material before episode time))

Jack

Walking through the jungle, on their way to the caves, Jack spoke privately with Kate for the first time in a long while.*

"I've been meaning to talk to you about something...* Claire's child will be coming any time now.* It could happen today, or four days from now.* Who knows.* If it takes much longer though, there could be a problem.* I'm not set up to handle anything like that.* Now, I'm not sure about doing anything yet, but I might end up having to give her something to induce labor."* Jack paused.* "But that's not exactly what i wanted to talk to you about, I was just... letting you know.* Because if I tried to bring her into labor, there could be some side-effects."

There was no real reason to tell Kate this, Jack knew.* His brain was simply tired.* It was no joke that everyone automatically looked to him whenever something happened, or something needed to be done; a decision to be made.* Jack or Locke at least...* In short however, he simply needed someone to confide in, and he trusted Kate.* To a degree.* He used to trust her more, but... ah well.* That was past.

"Kate, I need someone to keep an eye on Claire in these next few days."

She looked up at Jack, and began to say something, but Jack continued.

"I know... Charlie would be your first thought in this situation, and he'd be happy to do it, I'm sure.* But I don't really see him as the most calm person in a situation like that."* Jack smiled.* "He's a good guy, but I trust you to be more calm and collected when it comes.* All you'll have to do is send someone to get me, and then stay with Claire.* Do you think you can do it?"

Kate

kate said to jack "yeah, i guess i can" she thought to herself about how she doesn't like to be around stuff like that, but jack trusted her. she had to make sure she kept in eye on claire.

((OOC: It's curtains for my roleplaying career. :'())

ooc: ((no, you're too good to let go- we'll get you someone else. :) That really was sad... but just think, you get to RP all of that! And I'll be right there beside you. I think we'll do a pretty good job...))

((Boone_Fan! I don't want you to leave us. We'll find something to do!))

((yes, definitely.* But BF, you're not done yet- remember that!* We've got an episode and a half to rp.* Is anyone else really excited, or is it just me?* I get to write up Jack's part *cheers* :D))

((OOC: Thanks, guys. I will stay. It'd be silly of me to leave anyway, because I've had a lot of fun RPing with you guys. :) ))

((good :)* I'm glad.* Let's keep going then....)

Jack

He and Kate had reached the caves now, and had talked with Hurley, the first one they had run into, about the glasses.* Hurley was more than happy to ask around for them, and did so.* Jack and Kate split up, and began to rummage through various bags and junk, and did turn up one pair of glasses.* In a few minutes, Hurley came back.* Most of the people were at the beach then, in the middle of the day.* So there hadn't been many for Hurley to ask, but he had turned up three pair.*

"Thanks, Hurley, where'd you find these?"* Jack said, looking up at Hurley as he stood with the glasses in his hand, holding them out to Jack.*

"Some lady... gave them to me. Said she wanted back any that we didn't use. No clue where she found em."

Nodding, Jack took them and picked his backpack up, off the ground. "Let's head back to the beach." He said to Kate, as he turned to go.

ooc: ((You guys, I fear we're going to have to assume that we've lost xhopelessx. That person played Locke and Hurley... notice I didn't wait for Hurley to post in my last post because I realized he hadn't in... forever :p. So now, if ShayidFan thinks we should move on, we need to find replacements for those two characters. Who is waltisfuture doing? Perhaps I'll advertise for our roleplay somewhere else on the board...))

Charlie, I think I got Walt, but I'd rather be Locke and Hurley - You're looking a little Gothe, Dude.

I posted the different uses of the phrase Dude, yesterday. I found it somewhere, and it's funny. :lol2:

I've popped in a few times, and must admit I don't get it yet (this thread) - I guess I should go read the beginning.

Yeah...and Sayid is open too.

List of Open Characters:

Sayid
Locke
Hurley

But I do want to get this thing back and going. Claire talked to Charlie by the way...I think I posted her on the last page.

ooc: ((But I do want to get this thing back and going. Claire talked to Charlie by the way...I think I posted her on the last page.

Oops! I totally missed it, but I'll go back and read it- then respond.

walt, it's good that you told us you don't get it ;), because now we can tell you ;D First, have you ever done a Roleplay before? If not, I can explain that. Right now we're in the middle of the Deus Ex Machina episode (rping it), at the point where Boone just fell out of the plane and Jack is about to give Sawyer his new glasses. I would reccomend reading thru some of the pages, yes.

I think three characters is the most that anyone should have (what ShayidFan has) at least, I can't imagine doing more than that at once ;D Do you guys think I should take a third character?))

((OOC: I have decided to break up my previous post into two and change it a bit. So, here it is: ))

Boone

The plane was unsteady, and he should have known better, but the voice on the other end beckoned to him and held him a few moments too long. He just had to find out who it was. He just had to... Locke called to him, but Boone paid no attention. A chance of rescue was the only thing on his mind. For each second that passed, the plane shifted further and further towards the edge until finally it could hold no more. There was a loud crash as the plane made contact with the jungle floor. Then all went black...

ooc: ((that's good, BooneFan. We really need a Locke, though. Should... I...?))

Charlie

Laying his guitar down down, Charlie turned to Claire. "Well I got sidetracked in the jungle on my way back to the caves this morning. Sidetracked. Not lost." Charlie winked. "How about you? You walked all the way from the beach to here this morning, by yourself?"

ooc- ((If you want to play Locke, and you don't think it would be to hard on you, then go ahead!))

Claire

Claire nodded. "The sun was pounding, and I was feeling...strange." She said with a sigh. "I just thought I needed a walk, and a change." She smirked to herself. "But I suppose it was rather rash. You know, walking through the jungle. After what happened to me last time..."

((OOC: Yeah go for it! ))

ooc: ((I'll try. Locke is an important character, so I hope I do him justice- but I will try :) Thanks for giving me the green light.

Will do more than this [including Jack and Locke] yet tonight if I can, but I have to run for a bit now))

Charlie

"It was rash! The baby's coming soon, real soon." Checking his voice, Charlie grew more quiet. "You could have asked someone to come with you. I would have, if I had known. According to Jack, the baby will be due any day now, you've can't go on pushing yourself so hard."

ooc- ((I'm sure you'll do great Charlie!))

Claire

Claire shook her head. "Charlie. I am fine." She said, rubbing her hand over her bump. If truth be told, she wasn't fine at all. The baby had been moving a lot lately, and she had been have aches for the past couple of days. She offered a wan smile. "I'll be fine." She said again, reassuring herself. "I just can't have everyone after me all the time."

Locke

There was nothing he could do. Completely helpless, John watched in shock as the plane plumeted to the ground with Boone inside.

"Boone!!!" Locke yelled at the top of his lungs, his face colored red. There was no answer, not even a scream. Boone had been knocked out, surely. That is... if he wasn't dead.

Struggling forward on his knees, Locke moved towards the fallen plane as quickly as he could. His legs were still nearly gone, and he could not now walk on them. But upon reaching the plane, he saw that the window Boone had broken out of the plane was covered from the inside with all manner of twisted metal, crates, etc. Knowing that he had to get to Boone inside, Locke began to remove the obstacles as quickly as he could...

Boone

Slowly Boone's eyes flickered open. It was dark... so dark... and blurry... He heard movement and he felt so confused, and he tried to speak, but a strange gurgling sound was all that came out. His eyes closed as he passed out once more. He had yet to feel the full wrath of the pain that would course through his mangled body.

Jack

Back on the beach now, Jack walked over to Sawyer and stood in front of him. Knowing that Sawyer would speak first, Jack waited. But not for more than a second.

Charlie

Looking at Claire, Charlie knew she wasn't feeling completely right. But he decided to go along with it for now. "Yeah..." He replied to her insisting she was fine. He began to strum his guitar again, and after fine tuning a bit; he began to play. Claire sat beside him, listening. He had no idea whether she knew the song or not... but he hoped she would like it. Then he started singing...

"This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her, when she smiles..."

Claire

Claire gasped. "I love that song." She said with a smile. "One time, we went to this club. Me and a bunch of my friends. And there was this kareoke competition. And this guy...he sang that. Amazing." She said, leaning back on her hands.

Sawyer

Sawyer looked up at Jack, shielding his eyes from the sun. His head was still pounding, and the sight of the doctor was not all that appealing to him at the moment. "What?" He asked sharply.

ooc-((We need to pimp this roleplay...lol!))

ooc: ((LOL pimp the roleplay? Yeah ;), lol. How do you suggest? ;)))

Locke

After an hour of laboring in the heat, John had finally cleared the window. Stopping, just for a moment, to look in the hole and gather his breath, Locke wondered what he would find. There were a lot of possibilities. Boone hadn't talked to him at all the whole time that he had been clearing the window of debris.

Gripping the sides of the window, Locke pulled himself through. There was Boone, laying on the ceiling of the upturned plane, just beside the plane's radio. Static was coming from the other end, and then a voice, but Locke completely ignored it. Boone looked pretty bad at first glance, but John knew what he needed to do. He had to get Boone back to the caves, back to Jack.

Struggling to pick Boone up, he spoke to him. "Boone, can you hear me? Boone... Boone, you've got to wake up." Staying down on his knees, not being able to stand, John backed out of the small window, pulling Boone along in front of him. "Why..." He whispered. Now, outside the plane, he looked around at the jungle surrounding them. Nightfall would be coming soon. He had to get Boone back to camp. It was that simple. If he didn't, Boone would not survive the night.

Once more... it has to be, one more time Locke thought to himself, on his knees, looking around at the jungle. Picking Boone up once again, he slung him over his shoulders and attempted to stand up. Rising, slowly, as one unsure of what he was doing; Locke stood up. Then, without hesitating or looking back, he took off through the jungle at a balanced pace.

ooc- ((We just need to advertise! Haha...Tell everyone that their wildest dreams will come true if they join our roleplay.))

ooc: ((ok, Napoleon. Will do.))

ooc: ((sorry that I've been gone this weekend, guys. Seeing as the Roleplay didn't move at all without me posting, I agree we need to "pump dis up". ;D I'll start advertising))

Jack

Getting down on his knees, so that he was on eye level with Sawyer; Jack answered him. "Try these on..." He said, holding up the shoebox full of glasses. Holding up the first one, Jack waited for Sawyer to take it from him and put it on.

Sawyer

Saywer sighed, taking the glasses from the Doctor. He slipped them on, wary of the bulkiness that they added to his face. They felt so foreign. He blinked a couple of times. "I can't see a thing." He said, taking them off.

Jack

"Ok. Put these on..." Jack said, handing him another pair. "Let me explain this to you... You've been getting these bad headaches from eye strain. You've been doing a lot of reading while we've been here, so this may have never been much of a problem for you before, but it turns out that your actually far sighted."

Sawyer

Sawyer looked at him. "Yeah. Well I'm just glad it's not a tumor." He said, putting the second pair of glasses on. He looked around. "It's not any better." He said, taking them off and looking at them. "They're horrible looking anyway."

Jack

"This isn't a fashion show, Sawyer." Jack said, smiling. "How about these... any better?" He said, giving sawyer the pale yellowish white pair that one lady he ran into on the beach had given him.

Boone

Boone came to as Locke struggled to carry him through the jungle. The pain was rearing its ugly head, and it caused Boone to moan loudly. "Uhhhhh," Deep in his mind, he knew he was going to die.

Kate

she thought sawyer looked so funny and she couldnt help herself, so she burst out laughing!

ooc: ((ShayidFan, we neeeeed you ;)))

ooc- ((Sorry my dears!))

Sawyer

Sawyer looked at Jack first. "Well I always have to look my best for the ladies." When Kate burst into laughter he turned to her. "Be quiet." He said, but a smile betrayed his face.

<Hey! I'm so sorry that I haven't reply in awhile. I've noticed someone to on the role of Locke, which I'm perfectly fine with. But, is Hurley still mine?>

((OOC: *Hums and waits patiently for turn to post*))

ooc: "hopeless- Yes, Hurley is still yours :) Glad to see you back. BooneFan- your time is coming ;D"

Jack

"Looks aside... is your sight clearer?"

Sawyer

Sawyer took off the glasses. "They're no better than the last pair."

ooc: (( lol!! "Jack gets up, walks away, and leaves Sawyer to deal with his own problems :p"

I was "hoping" Sawyer would find this pair appealing ;) *wink wink*))

ooc: ((Well, um, I'm hoping to get this thing moving again- so...))

Jack

Jack and Kate were moving slowly back towards the caves now. Sawyer had eventually settled on a pair of glasses, and had been left on the beach... adjusting to his new look.

Locke

Night was coming in around Locke as he hauled Boone through the jungle as fast as he could go. He had only taken time to rest twice. Where they had found the plane was far, far out in the jungle, and so it was taking quite a while to get back to the caves. But Boone was losing blood rapidly and Locke could do nothing to slow it unless he were to stop, and he knew he couldn't do that. Jack was the doctor, not he.

Locke was getting close now, after a couple long hours of walking and jogging around the trees and bushes. The same thoughts kept running through his head, and traveling to the caves had became not only the one way to save Boone; it had become a way for John to run from his thoughts, too.

Kate

Kate and Jack reached the caves and were just sitting around. she was very curious since jack actually helped sawyer ... so she asked jack "why did you do that for him?"

ooc: (( where did everyone go?))

I have absolutely no clue. :o

Jack

"I didn't. I did it for you." Jack said to Kate, smiling. "But..."

Locke

"Out of the way, everybody out of the way..." Locke stumbled into the caves, a rag tag group of people cummulating in his wake. Boone was slumped over his shoulders, bloody and dirty. Breathing a sigh of momentary relief upon reaching his destination; in a daze, Locke put Boone down as several people rushed in to help him and to clear a space for Boone.

After losing his burden, Locke's mind cleared suddenly and he heard Jack yell hurridly to him. "Locke, what happened?!"

Trying to take rejuvenating breaths, Locke answered. "Boone... fell off a cliff, where we were hunting..."

Boone

His breathing was short and labored, and he felt like was drowning in his own bodily fluids. (Yuck)
Still he heard Locke's lie, and he struggled to speak, to tell the real truth about the hatch, the drug plane... everything.

ooc: ((Yay!! I'm glad you're still around! :) Great description there, btw [where's the barfing smilie when I need it?]))

((OOC: Lol. You're hilarious. I'm glad you're still around too. For a while there I thought everyone had forgotten about this roleplay.))

ooc: ((yeah, I wonder where in the world ShayidFan has gone?))

Jack

"Locke, you have to tell me exactly what happened so I can know how to treat him correctly." Jack yelled, rummaging through his medical supplies. "Locke?" Turning around, he saw that no one was standing behind him. "John!"

Locke

Running quickly through the jungle, Locke's senses had returned to him immediately after putting Boone down, into the hands of Jack. Now he had only one goal. He wasn't sure what was happening... everything had been working until now. But then, the trebuchet didn't work... his legs gave out... Boone lost faith. His legs were working now, and he had no idea why, but if he had to guess he would have said it was to enable him to get somewhere. The hatch. The one place where he could find answers.

Kate

She was feeling sick, she thought she might throw up. she hated being around blood. this looked bad and she started to worry about boone so she asked jack "is there anything i can do?" :o

Jack

"Go to the beach and raid Sawyer's stash- I want every drop of alcohol he has. Go!" Jack knelt beside Boone and scanned over his wounds. It was bad, really bad. Sun appeared beside Boone suddenly, and helped Jack to lift him onto a makeshift table. One thing Jack noticed was that Boone's breathing was extremely shallow.

"Hurley, bring me some water, then go to my medicine bag and get me a medical flashlight along with..." Jack stopped, seeing Hurley eye Boone curiously. "Hurley, I swear, if you faint!"

Boone

"Ohhhh..." he moaned. "It hurts..." His breath was still raspy and shallow, and the pain stopped him from telling Jack everything that had happened. His death was so close now that he felt it, yet it was still so far as his body held on. In his mind, he wished it would just end.

(OOC: Yikes. It's hard getting into the mind of a dying person. Hopefully, I'll find that out a very, very long time from now! Heh. )

ooc- I haven't abandoned you guys! I promise. I'm just a little stuck. I don't know who should be where. Sorry that I haven't been around for a while.

ooc- ((hey there! Who should be where at this point, um, let's see...

Hurley- caves
Sun- caves
Jack- caves
Locke- hatch, or on his way to the hatch
Boone- well duh :p
Shannon- on the beach with Sayid somewhere
Sayid- ^^^
Jin- On the beach, working on the raft
Michael- Same as Jin, I think... no wait, where is Michael?
Walt- ummmm
Kate- going to the beach
Sawyer- the beach
Claire- in the jungle somwhere
Charlie- The caves, I THINK

does that look right?))

Kate

As soon as jack told her what to do she ran to the beach. She was very panicky and at first she couldn't find sawyer but she finally spotted him with micheal. she ran up to him and told him she needed all his alcohol right away.

Jack

Suddenly, Boone's head lurched forward a bit, and his breathing began coming in even more ragged gasps. Jack touched his chest, fearing what he thought had happened. He was right, Boone's left lung had just collapsed. Grabbing something from a nearby tabel, Jack began to melodically feel for exactly where Boone's ribs were positioned. He had only a minute, or Boone could easily die. But he had to find the right spot to open the lung, and had to miss Boone's ribs. Running out of time, he found a spot that would do- and hit Boone's chest with the sharp edge of the metal shard he held in his hand. Immediately, Boone began breathing better.

"Good Boone... good." Jack nodded, looking straight into Boone's shocked eyes. "We'll put a tube in that and you'll be just fine." He finished. Turning away for a split moment to regain his breath, Jack quietly shivered at the challenges that would immediately follow.

Jack

Everything was moving more slowly now... Boone was in beyond horrible shape, as Jack was just now beginning to see. He knew at first glimpse it was bad... but not this bad. The caves were more quiet now... most of the crowd had diminished after being asked to give Jack, Sun, and Boone some space. After close observation, Jack had realized that Boone's right leg was broken. A closed fracture wound. He had also lost a whole lot of blood, and Jack was sure that he needed a transfusion. He had already tested the blood, and knew the blood type; A -. Noticing Charlie sitting a ways off, watching, Jack called him over.

"Charlie, there's something you can do for me... Can you go around the caves, and then to the beach and make a list of everyone's blood types? I'm looking for A negative, if you find any of those, send them to me. Can you do that?"

"Sure thing. A negative, I'm on it." Charlie replied, taking the notepad and pencil Jack handed him.

Sawyer

Sawyer looked at Kate. "Sure." He said, walking over to his stash, and taking out the bag filled with the tiny bottles. "What happened?" He asked, calmly.

Claire

Claire walked futher into the jungle, her hand on her back. The pains were starting to come now. She didn't want anyone to find her. She thought about the baby growing inside her. She knew that it was fighting to come out. But she was going to do everything in her power to stop that from happening.

Kate

she didnt want to have to explain so she just said "boone fell off a cliff"

Sawyer

Sawyer handed her the bag. "Here. Do you need me to come with you?" He asked. He knew now wasn't the time for fooling around.

Kate

"No, no, i got it, thanks though" and she quickly rushed away. she was trying to get back fast and wasnt looking where she waz going, then she tripped and fell. she checked her bag to make sure everything waz alright but a few of the bottles had broke. all of the sudden she heard someone and turned around. it waz claire. it looked like she was going into to labor. she thought to herself "oh lord, not now!" and she asked claire "are you alright? omg, are you having the baby?"

Claire

Claire looked up at Kate, her hand going protectivley to her stomach. She didn't think anyone would find her like this. She shook her head. "I'm fine." She said. A contraction came over her, and she bit her lip to stop from shouting. The pain was so immense.

Jack

Boone's leg was broken... but Jack was unsure of exactly how. He had to try to set it soon though.

Kate
"your having your baby, dont tell me nothings wrong" she wanted jack but she couldnt go to get him because she had to stay with claire. she shouted out "help!!!!" a bunch of times untill someone came.

(ooc: maybe we should change to lyk charlie instead of jin cuz we dont have a jin.)

ooc- Yeah. And someone should probably be with Jack.

Claire

Claire shook her head. "I'm fine." She sighed, as Kate started screaming. Another contraction went through her body, and she sat down.

Kate

"No, your not" and she continued screaming. just then someone started coming through the woods toward them.

ooc: ((Yeah, Charlie will work since he can currently be coming through the jungle on his way back to the caves, on his errand for Jack. And yes, I think we need someone to help Jack. Maybe BooneFan could play Sun?))

Charlie

Running through the jungle on his way back to the caves, and Jack, Charlie heard someone screaming. For a moment, Charlie hesitated... he wasn't quite sure where the screams were coming from. The sound was bouncing off all the numerous trees surrounding him. After a moment he decided to try a direction, and went after the scream with all speed.

Claire

Claire looked up at Kate, who was still screaming. "No-one will hear you." She said, shaking her head. "I'm so scared." She murmered.

Kate

"im scared too. i cant just leave you hear." she was scared and wasn't sure what to do. she couldnt go get jack, all she could do was call for help. then all of the sudden she heard someone running through the forest.

((OOC: Yes, I could play Sun too. I don't know if I'll get everything down exactly, but I need to start pulling my weight around here. Lol.))
