Welcome to Gaia! ::

Joliette frowned "David said the duplexes were locked and it was like fort knox... I suppose we can only hope the main buildings are open... He said hte electrical fence around the labs is off too..." Joliette pondered what was happening "this is strange, I wonder what happened"

Joliette frowned "I have a hard time picturing the doc turning another subject, look at me I found it, and got trapped here too... They'd have to have been a massive force to stop the madman... After all he certainly isn't scared to decieve Interpol..." she sighed "I wish someone had found us... Things just seem... too set up... After all Ambrosse said the doc took apart my rental yacht, and yet I wind up several hundred feet out floating on a chunk of it's hull"

After taking a well-needed break, Jamal parted the brush with his walking stick and found himself confronted not only with Awen, but Joli. Oh...yay. It wasn't that he didn't like Joli, there was just tension there....a different tension between him and Awen, but tension all the same.

"Oh s**t," he said, as though surprised (he really wasn't having heard their voices), and flashed Joli a forced grin that didn't reflect in his eyes as he toddled out of the thick jungle and leaned against his walking stick for support. "Wow, we all jus' scattered all ova dis ********' island, ain't we?"

"Oh, Jamal, caught up? I was just gonna go back for ya when Joli happened upon me." Awen tilted her head to the river. "It's not food but at least you could drink some."

She nodded to Joliette's words. "Yeah I don't think I'd like to die like this either..."

"Glad you are ok, And Awen, and David, I hope others are too..." she watched him move to the river "Uhm a few hundred feet out to sea" she said honestly even if she wasn't sure she'd be believed

He sat up and ran a palm across his chin to wipe away excess water.
"People gotta be groupin' up 'round dis damn island somewhere, I'd figger," he said in a pensive manner as he struggled to his feet, refusing any assistance if it was offered, then glanced skyward. "If da buildin's are all locked, I dunno if peeps gonna hang at the village..." It was then he noted the wispy trails of smoke that were coming from the bonfire on the beach. That was a good sign.

"...It look like someone gotta fire goin', in any case," Jamal commented, a hand lifting from the rough branch in his hands to point at the smoke. "'N if there be fire, then there gonna be people."

Like Antony, he thought sourly. She was the only other person he knew who smoked, so assumed she'd be the cause of starting a blaze somewhere. The fact that one could start a fire without matches or a lighter didn't even cross his mind.

Awen frowned a bit looking at the beach. Antony no doubt, that was where Awen left her and the selfish git was probably still hanging out there not caring if anyone else had lied or died or what through this.

Awen shrugged a little bit. "Then we should porbably wait until Chubbs comes back before joining up at the beach?" She suggested.

Joliette blinked "Uhm ok... be safe then" she was confused as to why he wouldn't wnat to stick together, but then, there were most times she didn't understand the man... "Okay, David and I were going to meet up a wee ways back so maybe we can find something to eat and then wait for him?"
