"Further along the same side of the isle as the smaller beach, the island comes to a point near it... " She didn't really know that much more about it, but then she hadn't adventured too far off the beaten path after having gotten lost in the jungle the one day

"Okay..." Chana made a mental note of that. It could be important later.
And in the middle of the island is...the lake!
Chana looked up abruptly. "The lake's roughly the middle of the island! The village is on the one side of the lake that no rivers go. They go everywhere else!" the beaver girl was quite excited by her discovery.

Joliette quirked a brow at the sudden exclamation "There must be a fair number of them... They certainly chose an... interesting island for our ... place to live" she was unwilling to call it home, to her it wasn't home

"Yeah..." Chana agreed, elation quashed by reality. She could easily be happy with the lake and rivers...whereas many preferred the ocean. Why not pick an island so diversified? If you were going to keep people on it for the rest of their lives...make it possible for them to be as happy as they can, right?

"What do you think might have happened Chana, that wound us all up out here locked from our duplexes with no signs of anyone but those we've located?" She looked thoughtful, she had been trying to piece that together herself even if she had very few pieces of the puzzle

She shrugged. "I have absolutely no clue. And frankly, I'm not sure I want to know why." A shiver ran up her spine. It was all very...creepy. And sinister.

Joliette nodded "Yeah, I guess it's the journalist in me that wants to know... Not that I could do much with that info but still..." she stood and walked to the fire a few feet away and poked it with her stick making sure it was still burning

Chana shuddered in reaction to the fire...but Joliette might see it as in reaction to the island and their situation.
"Got any edible plants around here?" she asked, her stomach reminding her how long it had been since that last bagel.

Joliette couldn't help but pity Chana even if she didn't verbalize it, the woman, not unlike herself and the others had been tricked here and now trapped in the wilderness "Plants? I haven't really had the chance to look as yet, theres got to be some around here though, I saw Emerwyn eatting some leaves a few days ago, the day the explossion happened actually..." now that she thought about it, she realized just how empty her own stomach was

"It's all right...I think I can find some things...maybe all those times I played Amazon Trail will actually help, eh?" Chana chuckled a little. She also knew what some edible water plants looked like, and maybe things would turn out okay.

Joliette chuckles "Perhaps it just might, I wouldn't mind your help at all, I'm mostly still vegan, I haven't been able to handle meat for a few years, only eat any now cause the beast inside of me demands it, eventually I know it's all i'm gonna be able to eat... but for now..." she sighed but smiled at Chana at the same time

"Well...I gave up my favorite food--shrimp--a number of years back when I became kosher. And now...well...your meat is nauseating me," she finally admitted. "I think I know how you feel."

"My meat is nauseating me too, Lauren and Awen killed it after it destroyed our camp, it's already made my loose my lunch once and I am doing my best to keep my tongue in my mouth, thats where most of my smell comes from now... I just dont want the food to go to waste if I can help it, even if I dont eat most of it. So I agreed to help cook it." she sighed

Chana gave the roast a skeptical glance. "Well then I hope that both of them eat meat, else you'll be attracting scavengers with it."
It wasn't a good thought, wondering what sort of beasts (other than those formerly human ones) were wandering around the island.

"They do far as I know, we were talking about ways to preserve it, including turning it into jerky with seasalt. Guess we'll see what they do with it once they wake" she glanced at it and winced looking away just as fast Which I can't help but hope is soon"
