Lost: Tropic Crash

[Ventus Fall]

"Glad to hear." He took a deep breath. "As for how long it will take? No idea. No clue. Right now, though, we need to focus on survival. Especially having no idea when and how we'll be rescued, it's best to not think about that now. I can already see people going mad with the thought. And that, Talon, won't benefit anyone, now will it?"
He sniffed.
"I'll take a look among the suitcases I have not been able to check yet. Also... maybe there will be something like some pliers in any of the luggage of the plane itself. If that makes sense. Like standard tool they take along during a flight. Ehh..."
He had difficulty coming up with words and decided to move on to the next subject before leaving to quickly find some pliers.
"Look, this island is huge, I'm sure we'll be able to find some sort of a natural food source here. Considering the vegetation, I think it is also safe to assume there will be fresh water somewhere. If not, it shouldn't be long to have rain fall either. I have seen some type of flora which require a rather regular fall of rain in order to survive. that's kind of good news. At least, I don't think I am mistaken."
He turned around to head off again. "Stay put, I'll be back soon.... ish."

[Fable]

Talon nods along to what is said and as the rat walks away he says "Thanks" then turns to the dragon again, "I'm gonna get some rest alright? don't wander off, please." and then uses his jacket again as a pillow and tries to rest.

[Razuel]

Raz pulled himself on his belly to Talon's front and he curled against Talon's belly.

[Espen]

Espen returned to his outpost after laying his traps for the day. "That should be plenty for now". He walked over to the far wall of his hut, using a claw to put another tally next to the hundreds already there. "I should probably start preparing this mornings..."


He felt the impact before he heard it. "An explosion?!" He climbed to the top of his watchtower and sure enough, there was smoke rising from the far side of the island. "It's been years, it can't be, there's no way. Okay Espen think, I'll... I'll wait a few days, then go investigate in the middle of the night. If anyone survived, they should be asleep. If not, well their supplies should at least be salvageable".


"Could there really be others? Could I actually... leave?"

Rhudé looked around the perimeter of the clearing they were in. On all sides there was nothing but thick vegetation, apart from the way they had come where a trail had been trampled down. They then looked at Al, wondering what he was going to do next.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al opened his bag and strippped off his Kimono, right down to his underwear, before stretching his arms out and beginning to put on his usual Gi. His back and legs were  littered with scars, and he looked fairly muscular and capable. "This clearing will provide excelent space for a camp or sorts. I've got the means of starting a fire, but I'll need you to watch it and occasionally feed it while I'm searching for water, provided these trees don't have any in storage."

[Fable]

Talon drifted to sleep pretty quickly, he hadn't realized before how exhausted he really was. The little dragons closeness was a comfort to Talon and a reminder that although things look worse then they have ever looked, at least this time he's not alone.
His imagination is quick to infest his dreams with mixed up memories. He dreams of being back in one of the many places he called home, a small apartment overlooking a busy city below. He had shared the apartment with many people, most of which he didn't know. Erin was there, which he knew wasn't right... she shouldn't be there but his dream had placed her there looking out the small open window with him. He recognized what she was wearing, it looked like what one of his other roommates would have worn. Her appearance here made no sense but in his dream Talon simply accepted it as normal.
 "Come on," She said as she seemed to just fade out through the wall. He followed pressing on the wall and seeming to pass through it like it wasn't really there. Suddenly they were above an island. Just hovering in the air. Erin looked colder now, dressed in her dress suit as she had been on the plane, and seeming much less.... alive. "Things will be rough here.... be strong.... protect..." The rest of her words were drowned out by the sound of wind as she free fell and he stayed hovering above the island.

[Espen]

Espen knew he had to check out the commotion from earlier that day.
I think I saw smoke rising over that way... it should be dark enough now that they won't spot me.

Grabbing a small, rusted dagger to protect himself should he run into trouble, he started his trek towards the crash area.
It should take me about 3 hours until I reach that section of the island, I have time to look around and get out of there, right?

[Malina]

Rhudé turned away and covered their eyes when their companion stripped. "Could you maybe not do that in front of me..?" they said. "Considering we just met I think that's a bit of a quick way to get to know each other."
Rhudé looked around, wondering if there was anyone else on this island besides them. "Getting a bit dark isn't it?" They wondered aloud, looking back over at the now-clothed Al. They looked at their now quite tattered hoodie and jeans, wondering if their suitcase still had their clothes in it.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al rolled his eyes. "We're stranded with no easy access to water, food or shelter. I think decency is the least of our problems right now. As for the dark..." He trailed off as he looked up. Sighing, he realised what that would entail. "Right. We'll just have to make do." He said as he grabbed some loose sticks on the ground and began to assemble them into a camp fire.

[Ventus Fall]

Ratface came back and saw Talon had passed out. Seemingly delusional. At least, that's what Ratface thought.
"Hyena dude, I got something here," he said while trying to shake Talon awake.
"These pliers might be rather small, but they should do the trick. You ready?"

[Fable]

Talon woke up quite suddenly the image of Erin still in his mind. He looked to the rat and listened seeing the pliers. Talon rubbed his eyes then nodded "I-I suppose. I don't know your name yet." He finally said thinking that if this guy was going to be ripping metal out of his arm Talon at least should know his name. Talons other hand rested on the dragon creature. It was a comfort having it close.

[Razuel]

Raz woke up once Talon did, but slowly, raising his head up slowly and looking around, but to realization, he wasn't sad, he was happy, happier than ever before, but when he did realize, he suddenly got a head rush and he put his head down and put his paws over it.

[Espen]

Making his way closer to the crash site, Espen could hear a voice every now and then coming from somewhere he couldn't yet pinpoint. It sounds like they're still scattered around the beach, maybe closer up towards the trees? He froze when he saw a figure stir in the distance by the treeline. Okay I'm close, how many survived? No, that doesn't matter, as long as one of lives to help me off of this island. I know where they are now and how to get back. I should head home before any of them notice I'm here... 

Espen started to head back through the woods when he stepped on a branch, breaking it with a loud snap. Please let them all be asleep, oh god please let them still be asleep.

[Dr. Alka Wolf]

Al's head shot up as he heard the snapping, and his attention instantly turned to where it came from. He placed a paw onto his katana and his knife in his other. "Who goes there? Answer if you want to see the light of day."
