*~ Deserted: A New Start

@jupiter_hollow

If it was possible, Jude's smile got even wider. At least one good thing had happened today. He had made a friend.

Jude wondered how 'Black' could be short for 'Aizel' but he decided not to dwell on it. After, people could have the weirdest names.

"My name is Jude Charles," he said as he followed Aizel to the wreck.

jupiter_hollow • 26 April 2012 at 7:11 AM

@wolfmilk And I repeat, I'm brain dead. D:

Aizel shaded her eyes from the burning sun and then glanced at the plane again.
"Were you on that?" she asked and pointed t the wrecks. She was supposed to be transported on a cargo aeroplane. She had no idea that there were people there. "How many more were with you? Where's your family?" she knew that if the boy was alone like that then his family were probably dead, but for her there was still a small possibility.

wolfmilk • 26 April 2012 at 7:22 AM

@jupiter_hollow

Jude lowered his eyes as his smile faltered.

"My family is safe at home. I was travelling with my auntie. But she..." He trailed off, his eyes shining with unshed tears. "She's gone to a better place." He whispered, choking at the end.

Suddenly grief spurted back within him and Jude felt very weak. He tried to hold back his tears, not wanting this kind lady, Black, to see. But it was too much for him and he started crying.

"She's in a better place." He repeated miserably.

jupiter_hollow • 26 April 2012 at 7:26 AM

@wolfmilk

Sighing sadly, Aizel crouched down and picked up the small boy.
"It's alright." she whispered soothingly, trying her best to calm the child down. She wasn't good with people, much les with kids but it was simply heartbreaking to watch Jude cry.
"Everything's alright"

wolfmilk • 26 April 2012 at 7:45 AM

@jupiter_hollow

Jude's small frame shook with sobs with the force of raw emotions but he did calm somewhat at Black's soothing words. He took deep calming breaths and shook his head slightly. He rubbed his tears away with his sleeve. Tears where still falling down but they were lessening, much to Jude's relief.

He clung onto Black's shirt tightly as if it was his only hope. How could anything be alright again? He thought to himself but in heart he knew it wasn't true. His mother had said the same thing when his other two siblings had died but she was alright now.

"Everything's alright," He echoed silently.

jupiter_hollow • 26 April 2012 at 7:50 AM

@wolfmilk Should I call her Black or Aizel? WE'll confuse the other RPers XD

Black carried the small boy over to one of the wings of the plane. She placed him onto it and then looked at him.
"Now, I want you to tell me, are you hurt?" she asked softly, wiping a small tear from his reddened face. She smiled. Her first smile in ..... how many years had it been? Four... five maybe?

wolfmilk • 26 April 2012 at 8:05 AM

@jupiter_hollow ((Eh, call her Aizel. Jude can call her Black whenever he's talking. G2g.))

Jude shook his head but leant to Aizel's touch.
"No. I'm not hurt. But you are." He pointed to the woman's shoulder and winced slightly.

He nervously swung his legs on the wing, glad that there was someone to comfort him. Jude looked up at Aizel with new admiration. Unknown to him, he had stopped crying in his concern for his friend.

jupiter_hollow • 26 April 2012 at 8:12 AM

@wolfmilk Alright and bye ☹️

Aizel smiled.
"It's just a scratch, kiddo." she reassured and ruffled his hair again. The kid had stopped crying now and she was relieved. She knew how painful it was to lose a person dear to you. She had lost so many friends in the street.

Charlie watched as the fires dies out. After they were settled here, it'd be good for them to work as a group and gather anything of use.

Clothes, medication, food, water, and hopefully some tarps as well. They'd need a chance to gather more water, so even some buckets would help. If and when the rains came.

They were in no shape to go now, perhaps a few of them were... "Okay, listen up. Anyone that's not seriously injured, we need to focus before night hits. We need to gather anything and everything from the wreckage that could be of use. Clothes, medications, food, water bottles. Anything and everything you think we could make use of. Please be on the look out especially for some tarps and some buckets. And bring everything you find back this way. We'll make a pile."

She watched as about five people left to explore the wreckage, and hoped they'd find something. "And be careful. There will be lots of sharp things over there."

asi • 27 April 2012 at 3:13 PM

Because staying asleep is boring...

Ugh... That splitting headache had returned, and Lutz found the pain... -cleared- his head? There are different kinds of pain, he realized. With this idea, he bit down hard on the inside of his cheek, and finally surfaced back into reality.
The first thing he noticed, wirh relief, was that the fires had gone. After managing to push himself up against a rock into a sitting position, he watched that woman- he'd never learned her name, but he supposed there was plenty of time- giving out orders, and saw people heading into the wreckage. He wished he could be of some use.
Noticing some spare bandages lying around, as nearby someone was helping another person who'd been worse off than Lutz had been in the crash, and applied them to his injured arm himself, knowing how to do at least that much.

jupiter_hollow • 27 April 2012 at 3:23 PM

@asi You the only one here? o.o
@april__ Yo dude!
@wolfmilk

Taking a deep wheezing breath, Aizel limped over to the group, still carrying Jude. She approached a boy about her age and placed the young child next to him. She crouched down and then, while being careful with her broken foot and ribs, sat down next to the young child. She wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was becoming harder and harder to breathe with every moment but she decided to brush the pain off.

A glance to her left and she saw a familiar boy. She fronwed.
"You... I saw you earlier." she quietly mumbled, pointin to him absent mindedly.

He had seen him but with all those layers of blood that he had been covered with... he had seemed .... dead to her.

asi • 27 April 2012 at 3:34 PM

@jupiter_hollow Guess so o.o

Lutz glanced over and shrugged. "Sorry, can't say the same for you," he gave a pained smile, then looked at her more carefully. "You need help!" he noticed. He looked around, but the person who'd been doing bandages had moved on.

jupiter_hollow • 27 April 2012 at 3:54 PM

@asi

Aizel smiled.
"It's just scratches. There are people worse off than me anyways..." she mumbled, looking at the wrecks and the people wandering around them. "What are they doing?" she frowned, raising a thin eyebrow.

They didn't seem to be doing anything other than looking around. She herself knew that tere wasn't much to take from the plane. Most of the luggage had been washed away from the sea and everything else was either unusable or quite hard to reach.

*Dumb post -_-

april__ • 27 April 2012 at 4:26 PM

@jupiter_hollow
@asi

Charlie walked over to see the boy she'd been with was awake.

"How are you doing?" she asked softly, squatting down.

"And they're gathering as much as we can. I'm going to be honest here, I'm not sure how long it'll take them to rescue us. We need to gather as much as we can." She turned towards the girl she was talking to.

Frowning at the marks on her, Charlie walked away to grab some bandages. "Can you apply these yourself or do you need help?"

Charlie watched as the people returned, building a pile of useful items. She vaguely wondered why they'd just all suddenly listened to her. Perhaps they heard in her voice that she knew what she was doing, or they all decided it was better to work together than to argue. And they were right. If they wanted to survive, they had to stay together.

jupiter_hollow • 27 April 2012 at 4:43 PM

@april__
@asi

Aizel pulled her arms back.
"I don't need help." she mumbled to the girl and then turned to her.
"You do know that you have extremely little chance of being saved, right? You'll be done for in a few nights, I can bet on that" she stated,taking off her backpack and emptying it on the ground. "I managed to take these." she said and held out a small half used box of matches. "They were in some handbag. Don't know why, though."

asi • 27 April 2012 at 4:47 PM

"Oh, I'll be up again in no time," Lutz declared optomistically. "I just need a little rest." He then turned to the dark haired girl. "You'll never know if you don't try, right?" Then back to his saviour.
"You're doing a great job, organizing them, but we'll need shelter, and this probably isn't the best place," he concluded, his cheerful mood sinking a little. Moving all these injured people was going to be a chore. If only he had been saved his injuries...

EDITED

jupiter_hollow • 27 April 2012 at 5:00 PM

@asi
@april__

Aizel sighed.
"Exactly what I said! You're not going to last long on the bare beach. And what you just did was reckless. You sent injured people to go gather supplies. Helping them and fixing their wounds should be your first priority but nevermind. Anyways, I won't be around to scold you. I'm not staying with you." she stated and looked at the wrecks coldly.

april__ • 27 April 2012 at 5:08 PM

@jupiter_hollow
@asi

"I do know what I'm doing," Charlie said sharply to the girl. "I have many survival skills from attending a military camp when I was younger, including getting left to survive on our for a week in the woods as a test. I've been studying in law enforcement, and would appreciate if you didn't share your negativity with the rest of the group. I don't want anybody alarmed. And for your information. I ONLY sent those that were well enough to get supplies. In case you haven't noticed, those with serious injuries are still here. Night is coming soon, and we are going to need those supplies. I'm sure people can handle a little bit of pain in order to survive. I've been working non stop on helping those with injuries here."

In a lighter voice (due to his politer tone), she turned to the boy. "I'm aware we can't stay on the beach forever, but we can set up shelter for tonight, and work on the next couple days. If we go into the woods and we are being looked for they won't see us. If we're still here after a week, we'll move, I intend to do some exploring in the next couple days. And if we're close enough, we'll keep a signal fire going on the beach."


-cont-

Charlie, being in a lot of pain, didn't have the patience to deal with a whiny girl that thought she knew everything. "I'd beg you to stay, but I have more important manners to deal with. I have to focus on a group, I'm not going to spend my time trying to deal with you. I need to weigh out the many vs the one, and the many always wins. I know what I'm doing, and it won't be perfect, but I can help us survive."

Shaking her head in annoyance, Charlie went over to check on the supplies they'd gathered.

She saw a first aid kit, she assumed that the plane had to keep on, a fire extinguisher, some clothes that hadn't been burned and a bunch of water bottles. They'd have to go slow with the water, and make sure to gather as much as they could next rain fall. If it rained out here. They had no idea where they were.

@duchess

I unfortunately can't use that image link because it has the word tumblr in it. Perhaps you could re upload to photobucket?

jupiter_hollow • 27 April 2012 at 5:20 PM

@april__
@asi

Aizel smirked.
"A week alone in the woods? Oh, that must've been such a hard job. Tch! Troublesome annoying girl" she mumbled and stood up, stetching her broken leg and wincing a bit before glancing at the girl.

She definitelly wasn't going to listen to some annoying Goody-two-shoes, who had randomly decided to save the world.
'Tch. Annoying' she though, raising an eyebrow at Charlie.
And if that troublesome woman had suddenly labeled herself a leader becuse of her oh, so amazing experience and training then so be it.

Aizel herself wasn't going to stay around much but she had to admit it truly would be fun to keep an eye on their struggles through the forest. She had decided to keep her mouth shut for a while and simply watched the girl as she went around for supplies.

She smirked. A week. That was how much she gave the girl to last. A week or maybe two.

april__ • 27 April 2012 at 5:26 PM

@jupiter_hollow (PS, if her legs broken, she can't stretch it unless she uses her arm to help it along. And this is funny because I actually went to military school for a bit. It really is brutal the one I went to. I learned so much, but hated it. Why do I need to learn to survive in the woods? XD I'm not going to become a druggie and end up on the streets)
@@asi

"I spent 7 years in a military school. We were 13 and spent a week alone based on our survival skills. I think that warrants something. We learned much more than I'm sure you know. I don't know where you get off, thinking you're better than me. I'm sure I could also help you splint your leg but obviously you're too good to let someone help you."

Charlie didn't have the patience for this right now. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I do have to make sure these people do all right, and set up some sort of shelter in these rocks for the time being. I have too much to worry about. If you do get off your high horse, let me know, cause I'd love to help you with your leg."

Turning away from the supplies and the girl, she approached the boy. "In all the confusion, I never asked your name," she said quietly. "

jupiter_hollow • 27 April 2012 at 5:34 PM

@april__ (Well, 'm only 14 so I haven't really gone to military school and my parents don't want me to but I really want to see what's it like there. I desire to test my survival skills 😉)
@asi

Aizel snickered.
"Well, aren't you some character. Now, if you're going to tell me your prolonged story about how much of an amazing survivor you were, then don't. Tell me one thing. Do you have a mother or a father?" she asked, wincing slightly at the sharp tingle in the cracked bone.

april__ • 27 April 2012 at 5:37 PM

@jupiter_hollow

((Lol. I had to go. I may have enjoyed it more if I wasn't forced. But there was no privacy. And no room to make choices. And we really did have to go in the woods for a week. *shudders*

And I'll reply to you next time Asi is on and responds to me, as I have been interacting with her character. It'd be rude to suddenly just ignore and walk away.

XD ))

asi • 27 April 2012 at 5:43 PM

Sorry!


Lutz shrugged, which hurt a little. "Okay!" This girl obviously knew her stuff, and it sounded alright to him; although he thought they might just notice if a helicopter or boat arrived at the island- surely anyone bothering to come all the way out here would do the job thoroughly too. But that was immaterial.
A little bored, he started drawing in the sand. He had wanted to be an artist... It didn't seem a very likely nor useful occupation out here... He sighed, but never stopped smiling. It'd be alright, he was sure.

duchess • 28 April 2012 at 2:18 AM

@april__
April looked up dazedly at the people talking. They appeared to be arguing and their voices sounded unusually distant. So far, they hadn't really noticed her. April looked down at herself - she wasn't really injured. Her hands had a few blisters and there were some mild scratches on her arms and legs, but it was nothing serious. She supposed she was rather lucky.

Sighing, April pushed her hair from her eyes. She was surprised to find that her hand came back sticky with half-dried blood. She must have cut her head somehow.

"Ah," she managed to say, as she struggled to get the attention of the woman who seemed like she was in charge. Her tongue felt thick inside her mouth, and it was too much of a struggle to say anything more right now.

april__ • 30 April 2012 at 4:58 PM

@asi @jupiter_hollow

Charlie turned to face the girl, her eyes narrowing. " I don't wish to speak about it. And I'm not interested in comparing sob stories or whatever you want to do. I have work to do. If you're not going to help, just stay out of the way."

Stretching a bit, she made sure to constantly shrug her right shoulder. It was in pain, and she didn't want it to stiffen up.

She squeezed her eyes shut for a brief moment. It felt like she had a broken rib. She hadn't felt the pain as much before. Perhaps it was because she was too worried about everyone else.

In an order to distract herself, she turned to face Lutz, "how long do you reckon we have until nightfall?"

It may be time to call everyone off of searching for supplies and to instead focus on setting up the tarps and other materials in the form of some sort of shelter. They could spend the day tomorrow creating a more sturdy one and perhaps she would go off for a walk around the island to try and size up how big it was. Maybe there was a nearby cave?

If she found one a distance away, she'd keep it in mind but not move the survivors. Most were too injured, and they should stay on the beach.

If a helicopter or plane came by that wasn't a search and rescue one, it'd still be important to get their attention. If they didn't see the group and flew over the island... That may shatter everyone. They could get lucky... They were well overdue for some luck.

asi • 30 April 2012 at 10:58 PM

@April__ Seeing as you asked me, I'm going to assume I can decide the time... (I've had people ask me stuff like that before, and when I answer, they yell, "Um, no, it's totally 6:am, are you dumb or something?" *facepalm*
Just tell me if you want it changed ^w^

"Um, maybe four hours, less maybe?" Lutz guessed, screwing up his face a little in concentration as he looked up at the sky. He was pretty awful at time management though, considering all the times he'd been outside, working on a painting or sketch, looked up and found the sun was practically set. But he had to try to help to the best of his abilities- which at the moment weren't so hot.

april__ • 5 May 2012 at 8:53 PM

@asi

((That's fine! When I ask you something, feel free to push it however you wish! ))

Charlie bit her lip in thought. "We have to move then," she said as she began walking away.

She had to figure out who was in good enough shape to help out. They had to get a fire going to remain warm, they had to gather all the water bottles and only use them when they had to. They needed a rain fall. And maybe tomorrow, when she was feeling a bit better, she'd go and explore a bit.

Hopefully find somewhere else to be. Though, she doubted any one would want to leave the beach. If a Helicopter or Plane went overhead and they were hidden within the depths of the forest...

She shook her head. She couldn't think about that right now.

asi • 5 May 2012 at 9:10 PM

@april__

Lutz looked at the ground. More specifically, his feet. About that... He didn't like being useless much. But he didn't see what else he could do. Maybe he could see if there were still some injured people he could help....
