Gutrot
"I suggest a lobotomy because you'd have to have your brain checked to drink straight rancid poison. There is no purifying that to be anything worth drinking. My solution is to try again if you want, find someplace where the buts won't get it, and seeing if there are any grains around this island to act as a yeast. If you can find anything else that is sugary sweet that might help too. See if anyone has some rations or candy on them." He said, looking back at him.
"Don't drink whatever that smell is." He said once again with a more firm tone.

GutrotEver was still grinning but he didn't argue or needle more. Instead he raised one hand to sketch Melvin a little salute, completely disingenuous and just a little bit mocking. But if Melvin took it literally, it would come across as agreement.

sink or swim"You do recall that giant ******** wave that landed us here in the first place, and my fishing your a** out of the ocean, right?" His tone was far more mild than the words themselves, and as serious as he actually was, Zeke was still smiling back at the other man. "Don't you think maybe it'd be good to regain some confidence in the water just in case something like that happens again?" A perfectly logical bit of reasoning, he thought. "Besides, what else do you have to do?"

GutrotMelvin frowned at the salute and then pointed a finger at him. "If you drink that, I will shove a stick down your throat to make you throw up. Understand." He said, rising up and looking at him.
"Where is your disgusting coconut anyways?"

sink or swim"Literally anything else." He blew a breath out through his nose, shooting Zeke a sideways look in consideration, hands sliding onto his hips -- and then, pointedly, he took two steps into the water, to let it wash up over his feet and legs. Not a big deal, it seemed. "I'm fine. And I'm pretty sure that any wave that big again would take me out no matter how prepared I was." GutrotEver thrust his thumb off to one side -- where the aforementioned coconut sat, face-down, well dredged in sand. He'd already taken some efforts to reduce the smell, he just hadn't done a particularly good job.

Gutrot"For the love of - " He sighed and walked over before he stopped and covered his mouth and nose with one hand. It had well past rotted and he could feel his stomach churn at the idea of Ever wanting to test drinking that let alone being able to stomach it past his gag reflex.
"I'm surprised it went this long after things reset." He moved back to Ever, looking around as he walked a bit into the woods before returning back with some driftwood. He handed him one. "Hands aren't going to work. Use this as a shovel." And Melvin went to the other side of the hole and started to help him dig a deeper pit.

sink or swimZeke just stared back at him and waited for him to stop stalling. "The ability to not panic in the event of being suddenly swept out to sea again is very important." It didn't matter how large the wave was. It'd either kill them, or they'd survive the initial crash and have to get to the surface before they drowned. Being able to figure out which way was up was important, and you couldn't do that when you were fighting off an panic attack or seizing up in fear.

Gutrot 2For the second coconut -- because there was no chance in hell Ever was going to give up after only one attempt -- he'd dug around on the island in search of some kind of grain to turn into yeast. His searches turned up something he thought might be some knid of rice. The results were no prettier than the first. sink or swimThere was a very long moment of silence to that, while Ever chewed on some thought -- a frown on his face and his eyes sliding off of Zeke's like he just couldn't meet that gaze. Slowly, he tipped his head to the side, looking out toward the water. "...I didn't panic..." But it lilted, a little. An unsaid 'did I?'

Si vous voulez....There weren't any books or pencils, but Ever knew a few French songs that he could sing (terribly) and about 8 Latin poems (one was very dirty), a couple Welsh fairy tales, and one very bad Spanish joke. At some point, all of these would come out, whether it be the truth game or some other around the campfire. And if anyone was interested in learning more, it would certainly be something to fill the time.

sink or swimZeke gave him a long, flat look which likely would have been answer enough, but that unsure look prompted an actual one. "You weren't coming back up." Not that the Mist had seen. Not quickly enough for Zeke not to worry about it. "Come here." He took a couple of steps towards the shore, willing to meet after.

sink or swimWith a little huff of a sigh, Ever eased in toward Zeke -- hands shoved into his pockets and still dressed in his shredded jeans, rapidly becoming damp around the frayed hems as he stepped into the water. "I might have hit my head or something."

sink or swimAlright, I'll bite."Did you hit your head?" Zeke, not keen and spending the rest of the afternoon in wet, salty jeans, had left his on the beach. He was standing there in his boxer briefs, and nothing else.

sink or swim"I don't remember." There was some of the old bite in it; a dry edge that was somewhat teasing, somewhat mocking. Ever shrugged, slowly, letting the water lap up against his calves and plaster his jeans to skin. "But I wouldn't, would I?"
