Joliette nodded "It's not, especialy if you haven't changed yet, first person I told didn't believe me, oh well I suppose I can't blame them at all. Enjoy the view" she said and then with a wave of her hand headed back to the village

"No," Lily agrees- if she didn't know beforehand, then she would have thought Joliette was joking or crazy.
"Goodbye," she says softly, looking back to the water and waving vaguely in Joliette's direction. Now she can sit and stare at the water, with more information, with no way to deny where she is anymore.
She sighs.

The first of her senses to start working again was her taste. Drawing in slow even breaths Awen shifted slightly. The taste was familiar, comforting, she swallowed softly to clear the small ache in her throat. Her eyes were still closed as she drew in an almost blissful gulp of air. The salt making her tingle all over. A cool sensation washed over her body all the way up to her neck, it felt...wet.
Awen's eyes snapped open as she realised what that feeling was. Suddenly she felt the rough sand under her exposed arms and even embedded under her clothes. As a second wave came up to her Awen scrambled to her feet, her eyes wide, her breath growing shallow.
She was soaked to the skin, she looked to the small imprint in the sand where she was just laying. Her pulse quickened dramatically, she started to hyperventilate. She backed away from the ocean but the smell of salt and the uncomfortable feel of clothes clinging to her skin was something she couldn't escape.
A small noise squeezed through her tightened throat, almost a whimper but not quite audiable enough for that. She kept backing away, slowly, then faster. Her arms flung out as she tried to whipe the water away, to it wasn't touching her. Obviously failing the battle she let out a long terrified scream.
And everything was black again.

Awen awoke only a short while later. The sun hadn't even the time to dry her clothes. She opened her eyes first this time, not letting any other sense take control. She was now facing the jungle. She heard the crashing waves behind her and slowly got to her feet.
Drawing in a breath she shivered slightly. She couldn't freak out again... she had to stay...stay calm. She closed her eyes and steadied her breathing slowly.
She wondered vaguely what's going on. What happened to everyone else... Was that last night just a crazy dream? Maybe her instincts had taken over and driven her to the water. She didn't know.... but she just...kept walking.

"EEEEEEE!" Came a rather high-pitched and obviously feminine scream from the general jungle area.
Antony had just gotten a face full of spider web and was now pawing frantically at her face and hair. She didn't usually have a problem with spiders, but this one had crossed the line!
A little ways down the beach, the sounds of loud cursing mixed with various forms of 'get it off' were heard before a flailing Antony exploded from the jungle.
Oh there would be a war on all spiders.

Awen was startled from her attempts to calm down. She looked towards the loud crashes and swears bursting from the jungle a little ways to her left. Recognising this as other life, and possibly something to distract her from her little problem she jogged towards the girl.
Awen smiled slightly noting the patch of blue in the girl's hair, that was so cool. The girl was new, or at least someone Awen hadn't seen before. Her mind quickly snapped back to the less casual matters at hand.
"Hey, are you alright there?" She asked approching at a slower pace.
Seeing the tattoos the woman had this situation ran a gong in Awen's mind. This was the person who had attacked Joliette when she jsut asked what was wrong. Remembering this Awen stopped a respectful distance away.

"******** SPIDER!" She roared, chest heaving as she turned to look at the other girl, eyes wide, "Is it on me?! Is it GONE?!"
Antony didn't recognize who this was, nor was she even caring at the moment. All thoughts were on the rare tropical spider that was going to bite, and kill her.

~~ (( OTHER Beach please dont let it interupt )) ~~
Joliette came to with a groan, the warm sun's rays beating down on her body... she didn't open her eyes, she liked that warmth... She only opened her eyes when the sounds of water triggered in her mind.. Wait the sun? She hadn't remembered the SUN coming up, nor the sound of water... She lifted and turned her head and had to take a double take...
Open water... on all sides of her... she peered around, she was dressed exactly as she had been on the isle, camera bag and all. "What the..." she finally sat up and looked arund more to take stock of her situation... ocean on 3 sides of her... the island several hundred feet away on the 4th.. Eventually she looked down and the sight that met her eyes made her hands shake there emblazoned in it's navy blue text... Princess
It took her a good 10 minutes before she found the irony of the situation... They had given her a way off the isle... That was...well she couldn't have wound up there on THAT item by pure chance and accident. The piece of hull wasn't small it was large, and thick... Simply an ideal size... for a raft...

Awen looked the other girl over quickly, searching for a spider amidst her intricate tattoos. She couldn't see anything that looked like the spiders she has seen on this island so she simple shook her head.
"Doesn't look like it's there anymore." She replied.
She scratched her left arm, starting to itch from the dried sand and salt on her skin.

Antony sighed deeply in relief, relaxing noticeably before finally focusing on the girl in front of her, grinning sheepishly over her fading anger, "Thanks... Walked into a spider web..." It was explanation enough for her.
Looking over the other girl, she cocked her head to the side before offering Awen a hand to shake, "I'm Antony." She only noticed that this girl was one of the 'strange' ones after her hand was offered, not that the gesture wouldn't have happened either way.
And suddenly it dawned on her, and her bruised brow furrowed. "Hey... Did you wake up where you fell asleep?"

Awen took the offered hand and shook with a small smile. "I'm Awen." But it seemed there wasn't much time for pleasentries.
She frowned a little bit realising this girl must know less than she did at this point. "No, I didn't really fall asleep either. There was a huge explosion last night, the power flickered and died and then... I kind of blacked out myself. I woke up...." The words caught in her throat and she was painfully reminded of her now only damp clothes.
She shifted her weight a little bit adn felt her socks squish. "Well here." She said quickly enough before switching subjects, back to this..Antony girl. "Didn't you hear it last night?"

Antony blinked, that name sounded familiar and she had a nagging feeling that she should KNOW this person, but for the life of her she couldn't remember. Damn that pot.
"Nope, I sleep like a rock, and then there's my lovely forehead decoration too," she gave Awen a strained smile as she motioned to her forehead with another deep sigh.
"And then I woke up in the ******** jungle." The tattooed woman waved irritably towards the greenery she had just exploded from.
The strained paused was noted, but Antony didn't comment on that.
"Yippy skippy." Antony said dryly. She was obviously being sarcastic.

"Ah well hey." Awen let out a short little laugh. "Your forhead decoration is better than mine." She brushed her hair aside a moment and shrugged.
"But either way something happened and I have no clue currently what that something is. It was big though...." She glanced around slowly and scratched some more.
"Haven't seen anyone else have ya...?"

"Eh, that's not your fault though," she shrugged before plopping down onto the sand with another sigh.
She wished that she had seen someone else, but the last time she saw someone was at her duplex. "The last person I saw was Jamal, he took me home after this," Antony referenced to her forehead, "Happened. But after that? Nilch."

The skin on the back of her neck tingled again. Something inside didn't feel right, something Joliette mentioned was just out of Awen's recollection. That reminded her she hasn't actually seen Jamal in a little while... she wondered where he was...
"Oh I hope he's okay...." She said outloud but in a distant tone as she looked back inland. Her stomach tightened, she should go looking for him...or anyone else for that matter.
