Alexa searched her pockets and found a knife and a name tag.
"Alexa...Arsen or so the tag says." She looked around, the breeze
blowing her hair. "No, I really have no idea what happened. "
: The girl shook her head to clear it: "No... I don't know whats
going on..." : She thought for a minute, then sighed: "I would tell
you my name, but I can't seem to remember what it is."
'Hi, I'm Grace Agida! Neither of us have any idea either, so you're
not alone... We were looking for food and water, but nothing so
far... Any ideas where we could find some?'
Sashi looked around, the sun was in the middle pf the sky, so they
had enough daylight to explore more, but... the problem was food
and water. Feeding five people, and supplying water. That's going
to be hard, hopefully this specific chain of islands held enough
material to sustain them...

Grace noticed that Sashi was worried. She wished she was more
helpful. Suddenly, she spotted a familiar plant. Hope rising, she
rushed over. Excitedly, she shouted, 'Sashi, I think I found a
coconut tree! We can drink the milk and eat it too!' She bounced
slightly in excitement.
Sashi looked up, startled, it took him a while to comprehend what
she had said. "Wait... did you say a cocunut tree?" He looked up
and saw the cocunuts and the trees, "Yes! This may last us a little
while..." By then, they would have figured something out...
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is

"Hmmm..." Sashi, goes to the trees and grabs a few vines, he starts
to tie them into lassos. "He brings them back smiling and laughing,
"can anybody use these? I have no idea how one would use these..."
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is
wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has

Grace laughs and takes one. 'I'll give it a shot.' She squints,
aims, and throws. The loop misses by inches. 'Noo.... You give them
a go.' She hands it back to Sashi, grinning.
Sashi takes the lasso and attempts to get one, the lasso misses vy
a good 3 inches, "not close enough... alright! We're gonna have to
climb this tree..."
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is

Grace brightens, though she's not sure why. 'Ooh!' Without another
word, she leaps at the tree and scrambles up nimbly. At the top,
she blinks. 'Woah... what?'
"Wow..." Sashi breathes, "your a great climber..." Breaking out of
his stupor, he says to her "that's great! Now just drop down those
cocunuts into my hands! I'll catch them and uhhh.... yeah! That's
it!"
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is
wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has

Grace grabbed the coconuts and tossed them down to Sashi, trying
not to hit his head and knock him out. 'Hmm... I just thought, we
need to get a fire started. You don't know how cold it'll get here,
we need to be prepared. And we'd need to cook food, like if we find
bird eggs or catch some fish or something.' After all the coconuts
were off the tree, she hopped down.
"That's true..." Sashi said, putting the cocunuts down, "but, you
can eat eggs raw, although they are disgusting, and..." His eyes
widened. "Spear fishing!" he exclaimed. He ran to get some vines
and tied around the end of his spear. He gave some vines to Grace
and gestured for her to do the same. "Ok, for spear fishing what
you do is wade out into the water and wait for fish. You can
scatter bait around you if you woukd like, but for that we would
need food. When a fish gets near you what you want to do is..."
Sashi loked at his spear, and cut the spear end in half, making a
little crevice into the spear end. "You would want to pin down a
fish into this crevice, and the pick it out if the water and, well
get safely back to land. If it's easier, though not advised, you
could just literally stab the thing, but that would, well you
know..."

: The girl looked around, and noticed that nobody had a fire going.
She slowly stood up, and went to hopefully grab some dry wood from
the forest to start one:
Sashi started to wade slowly into the water. He noticed that
further away, there were some brightly colored rock looking
structures. "a coral reef" he thought, that was good. That
meant more fish, and more food, and if he remembered correctly, you
could harvest different parts of a fish, for different necessary
vitamins and minerals. You could eat the eye for water, and some
other parts for different vitamins, but, it would not keep you
alive for more than a few months at most, seeing that you would
need other vitamins, and would die of malnutrition.

"Can I help in anyway?" Alexa said, taking out her knife. She
looked around, just sand and trees. She walked towards Sashi and
Grace. "Can I be of any assistance?"
"Ummm... I guess you could prepare one of the cocunts to eat? Or,
you could help me go spear fishing, you'll need to make something
like this though," Sashi said, raising up his spear. "It's also
very hard, but, I think you'll be able to do it."

'I'll get to work on making more, I have no doubt we'll need it,
and we'll definitely need to head back into the jungle at some
point. Wanna give me a hand? We'll need tree branches and stones,
and I think vines would be useful? Not really sure, but whether or
not we need them for spears, we'll need them for something, so
might as well.'
Alex started looking for sticks. She found a long stick and used
her knife to carve out a spear out of it, while humming a beautiful
song. She looked at the waves. She had never really liked water,but
she loved their roaring and the sound they made when they crashed
with each other. "Like a beautiful song..." She thought.
She felt something picking her. She put the knife down and checked
her pockets,she found a flute.
