lay at sea

"I feel bad for Kate ... she lost everything on that boat . even a part of herself . "Roselyn still held kate's hand and rested her very tired head of Carl's arm. "I hope you don't mind , I'm just so tired ... and there is something wrong with me ... " Roselyn sighed and hugged her soggy teddybear tightly to her chest with her extra arm.."I ... I just don't know what it is ." Closeing her eyes she rested again . hoping that she would wake up and still be on the boat , and that it never sunk.
 
Diana felt herself slowly drifting off to sleep in Alan's arms. It was a troubled sleep however. Full of nightmares, in them she was running through what seemed endless darkness. Someone was chasing her and she couldn't seem to get away. She tripped then the next thing she knew she woke up with a small gasp her eyes wide with fright.
 
"Hey, hey," Carl wrapped his arms around her, hoping to comfort her, "Calm down now. We're all in this together, I don't want you to feel any bad because of this. It was just an accident, a bad accident."
He saw the woman in Roselyn's arms. The poor girl, she slept soundly, for now. He couldn't understand what it was like to loose someone so close just like that. It would be horrible.
Hours past... and nothing happened. Carl still had hope that they would be saved, but it was fading fast. It was obvious no one knew yet that the ship had gone down. They weren't supposed to be in port for another week. After that, it would take a few days to determine what happened, and then a few more to actually follow the trail. By that time they would all be dead.
As soon as night fell they would have to start paddling. He had no clue where, but they couldn't stay here.
He filled in everyone else with what he thought they should do. It seemed like a good of plan as any. He noticed the wreckage, watching it for a long time, and glanced at the compass.
"Right now the current is taking us South. I'd rather follow the current than to fight it. We could go twice the distance, and perhaps find an island or a ship that will help us."
 
Roeslyn nussled her head in carl's arm while she held onto Kate's . CLoseing her eyes she rested soon drifting to a thin sleep. She did not dream. she was in a pit of nothing. She could smell Carl's colone and sniffed it still in he middle of no where . sighing in her dream she then saw many diffrent colous circleing around her . looking around she felt cold . shivering she noticed it was a wet cold. soon water fled around her it was so cold yet she couldn't snap out of it .

Darren watched as the people on the boat fell asleep .Thinking of all the stuff he left on the boat that he would never see again .he sighed and looked out at the everlasting water that was ingulfing him and th others . nothing was going to save them and he knew it .

Kate cried on . Thinking of Tom made her cry even more . It was so cold and she shivered before resting on Roselyn's arm and closeing her eyes to rest
 
Alan

Alan watched Diana as she slept she slept so fitfully that he held her and whispered comfort to her. Just as it seemed she would sleep peacefully she awoke with a start. Alan held her and kissed her forehead gently. "Diana, its alright , every things going to be alright" Alan said with more faith than he belived.
 
Diana clung tightly to Alan wanting so badly to believe him. She was frightened. They were lost at sea with no where to go and no one to rescue them. She sent a silent prayer of thanks for Alan being there. If it wasn't for him she would probably have thrown herself over board. She had just relaxed thinking it couldn't get worse when she heard thunder brake overhead. Looking up she frowned as she saw storm clouds heading there way. "guess I was wrong" then "Umm guys I think it's going to rain"
 
Na'jara

I gasp slightly at the revelation as she pulls me toward her, her lips inviting something.

"It's just a mating ritual, nothing permanent." I murmur huskily, my face blushing, for first time I found myself wondering how such a thing could be pleasant. My fingers slide through her silken hair. Then my hand rests on her hip, "Show me," my skin tinged with red as I lay back in the boat.
 
Roselyn snapped her eyes open and looked out "SHIT! Of all the goddamn luck!"

Darren looked up at the sky and at the cloudy sky whitch is showing its first stars.Not saying a word he cursed in his head . Roselyn was right , of all the luck of to day they have gotten tooken out of their boat into a small thing. some people loseing someone , he looked down at Kate, some people loseing a part of their self . He looked at Roselyn and sighed as he remembered the good days . HE wished he could apolgize but he knew it wouldn't matter by now . It was her goddamn fault for him being mad at her! Darren crossed his arms and looked at the sky .

Kate saw Darren look at her and she felt another tear slide down her cheak. "I have dreamed of a happy day" she started to sing in her head . MAking up songs was the thing she did when she was sad or angrey. of any emotion at that . She missed her boyfriend very much and hoped everything would h appen good in the end .
 
"No, no," Carl gave Reselyn a hug. He quickly unfolded the tent part of the raft. He set it in the middle of the raft, spreading it out between everyone.
"Ok, we can use the rain to get more on our water supply."
The wind began to pick up, causing the waves to ever so slightly rock the raft back and forth.
"Calm down, it's just a small storm. If we can just hold it out we'll be just fine."
Lightning cracked the air around them. Carl jumped slightly.
"On second hand, why don't we start paddling. West, with the current and the wind."
Picking up a paddle, Carl started.
 
With most of the people asleep Darren just sat and looked out into the ocean . On some occasions he thought he saw a leap of flame , but how could that be if there were no land ? Seeing anouther leap of flame the reality sunk in . There was land ! Grabbing a paddle he helped move the boat . Then he turned to Carl , a wide smile on his face ."We're saved .The land ,, T heres land! "

Roselyn looked up from her tired body and smiled when she heard the news . "We're saved ! " Hugging Carl tightly out of excitement she hugged him like there was no tomorow . Then turning to Kate she gave her a big hug to.Then she gave Carl one again .

"IS this a joke ? Wejust got drifted tons of miles or something ?" Kate looked up from her rest and then hugged Roselyn . " It is true, I can see land . LOOK!" Kate pointed towards the west.
 
"I see it, keep paddling," It was getting easier as they spoke. The waves were already taking them into the land. Carl looked a bit doubtful at it. Fire meant people, and most people here were natives. Who knows how they would react to strangers.
Anything would be better than starving on the boat though. That's for sure. This crew's life was in danger. It was the only option. Carl got out, helping the raft all the way to shore.
"All right, stick together guys. We don't know what's on this island," he moved the raft high enough so that the water couldn't carry it back out again.
Carl looked up at what looked like a group bonfire. People were there, celebrating something. Natives, just like he thought. Carl stood close to Roselyn, as if to protect her.
"Hello," he called out.
 
" is it save to talk to them?" Roselyn stood closer to carl . Kate moved closer to .
" I'm not sure .." Kate looked around, as if to look for something . Picking up a stick she held it by her side as everyone else got out of the boat . " I'm going to be carefull though . "
" I'm going over to see how they are , and if they are dangeries . IF they ripe me apart they are bad. " Darren stood clsoe to Kate and looked on to the tribe . Turning around he noticed two natives together .
" This is no time to joke around Darren! " Roselyn said sternly .
"Whos joking ?" Darren looked down at Roselyn and then looked back at the tribe of people
 
Alan

I hold Diana's hand as we step out of the raft. Ths stormy sky does nothing to make the natives seem any less dangerous and Carls devil may care attitude is about the only humor in a dismal situation. I survey my surroundings to take in escape routes nad wonder how long I could hold off pursuers. I ponder to myself if the raft or the island is the way to go if these natives get unfriendly. I hold a paddle as the only weapon i have and look reasuringly to Diana. I whisper to Diana "do you know any extra languages, communication may be our only way out of here"
 
Diana scrunched up her face as an offensive smell assailed her senes. Look up as Alan she moved closer to him worried for their safty. When he asked if she knew any extra languages something struck her. A memorie of sailing with her grandfather. There had been a member of the crew that was a native. He had taught her some of their language but not much. Looking up at Alan she said "I know a little bit of native language but only a litte. I don't know if it will help us" looking at the natives she stood up strait holding her chin up refusing to let them see the fear inside of her.
 
Roselyn looked around at the people that was around her . Everyone seemed to be hiding their fear . Was she the only one who was afraid? She grabbed Carl's hand and held on tightly as if she was falling . Grabbing Kate's hand she tightened her grip. She felt a soft tug as Kate moved .

Kate took a step to the left and started walking forward. "I'll stand in the front , I know some native ... my dad was a native and taught me a lot of it . " She felt Roselyn tug her back . She turned around and looked at Roselyn ."I'll be ok . I don't sence any thing bad... plus , if something bad does happen i will be with my boyfriend.

Roselyn didn't like that kind of talk. "Don't say that , thats like calling a jynks."
"sorry,"Kate looked at Roselyn's misty eyes. "I'll only be a few steps away from you . " Kate moved to the front of the group.

Darren looked at Kate as she moved to the front . He wished he had the same braveness as she . shuffleing his foot in the sand he gathered stones in his hands just in case they were bad natives .Looking around seeing everyone look at him he cleared his thoart and said " I think we should all gather stones , just in case . " now in his hands he had a stick and many rocks , more like many pebbles but he filled his pockets with the pebbles and started the walk toward the natives .

OOC: yes i am adding anouther charcter to my list , i suggest some of us should play natives to. Anyone want to play Reul's daughter the princess for me?

Reul looked from his gathering of people danceing for their god Des and saw white men and women walking toward them.Calling out to his people they all turned toward him. Speaking in English he said "My people , there are outsiders... "pointing toward the group of white men he heard many of his people gasp.
"What do they want with us?"
"They will eat us, They will eat us!!!!" He heard someone call out .
"I do not believe they will eat us. Come let us join them and talk." Reul stepped down from his seat and begain to walk toward the white men
 
Carl gave Darren a very stern look.
"Darren, put those down now, how will it look if we start gathering up weapons when they come approaching us. They'll kill us first, eat us later, and not bother with the questions."
He saw Roselyn was holding his hand rather tightly. He like it, it made him feel like there was someone here with him.
"We can get through this, most natives around here are simple and nice people."
He hoped what he said was true.
 
Reul looked around for his daughter . she loves new people . She had once found a picture of some white boy that she had liked . from then on white people amazed her . Everyone gathered around Reul and started their walk. He saw some of the white men pic up wepons (sorry can't spell) and then heard a little girl who saw them to . But she had seen something else .
"he has the head of a goat! AHH!" She pointed to Darren which she hadn't known it was darren but all the same . He heard some more screams and they took some steps back . Dear Des, he thought , let them be friendly

Darren heard them speak english , It seemed they were as afraid of them! "kate I don't think you need to be out there . they know english . " Dropping his stick he still had the pebbles in his pocket , just in case .
" kay , " Kate still standing in the front . taking a few steps b ack she stood next to Roselyn again . grabbing her hand she looked over at her hand whos was in Carl's and smiled . She imagened that they would be together in the near present .

Roselyn held both the hands of carl and of kate and felt a strong prencence around them . taking a step to the front she watched as the nativees pointed and stuff toward them , she imagined they were as afraid as she was at the moment.
