13:17]	Malachi_Ortega	"Oh. Yes." Mal steps aside, and gestures while keeping his arms around himself, to his sandy mess of a bed; a few screwed-up sheets.

[13:24]	Haruko_Satonata	"Are you... um..." She stutters nervously, trying to find something else to stare at. Like those weird columns of balanced stones. Where did those come from? She raises her arm halfway to point weakly, "D-did... you mak- what is this?"

[13:28]	Malachi_Ortega	"I thought you did."
[13:30]	Haruko_Satonata	"But-..." Panic flashes across Haruko's face as she reaches down quickly, double-checking herself for clothes again.
[13:33]	Malachi_Ortega	just feels colder watching her, waiting for her to finish.
[13:35]	Haruko_Satonata	"...I-I may have..." She frowns and starts wringing her hands. "... I do not recall doing so though."
[13:37]	Malachi_Ortega	"Oh."
[13:38]	Malachi_Ortega	turns to the sleeping Aimee through the spluttering, fading light of the flare.
[13:38]	Malachi_Ortega	"Aimee might have."
[13:38]	Malachi_Ortega	shrugs feebly
[13:40]	Haruko_Satonata	breathes a sigh of relief, nodding at Mal. "Y-yes. She might have-" Suddenly a loud growling noise emanates from deep within Haruko's stomach.
[13:41]	Malachi_Ortega	Mal darts back at looking towards the beast.
[13:41]	Malachi_Ortega	bites his lip when he realises it's Haruko.
[13:41]	Malachi_Ortega	"Wh- what should we do?"
[13:44]	Haruko_Satonata	blushes from embarrassment, suddenly feeling very thankful it's so dark. "U-um... I-I have... food that should still be edible a-as long as its container's seal was not broken. I-If you are hungry. I mean."

[13:53]	Haruko_Satonata	hurries over to the pile of duffel bags and pulls her school backpack, still wet from being dropped in the sea, out from under the pile. She unzips it and pulls out a tupperware container, hesitating for a moment before she presents it to Mal with both hands. "I... It is.... soup."

[14:02]	BlastOff	"Do I...?"
[14:03]	BlastOff	partially holds out his hands to take it, hesitant to do so in the cold night.
[14:04]	Haruko_Satonata	nods with a shy smile and pushes the bowl into his hands, forcefully closing them around it.

[14:06]	Haruko_Satonata	"I... I made it. B-by myself." She tries to sound confident in her own words.
[14:06]	Malachi_Ortega	forces a smile at her through the dark, taking the opportunity to sniff at the mixture cautiously.
[14:08]	Haruko_Satonata	The scent of onions mixed with... other things(!) bites at your nostrils.
[14:13]	Haruko_Satonata	And not-so-freshly baked bits of crust.
[14:13]	Haruko_Satonata	It's an awful brown color.
[14:17]	Malachi_Ortega	swills it around a little, confused.
[14:17]	Malachi_Ortega	"What- why is there..."
[14:17]	Malachi_Ortega	holds it out to demonstrate
[14:21]	Haruko_Satonata	forces a sheepish smile through the dark at Mal. "It... I added... um... t-to make it... taste better?"
[14:23]	Haruko_Satonata	leans in again to get another look at the strange concoction she cooked up yesterday morning. Hopefully... Mal will like it better than she did.
[14:26]	Malachi_Ortega	inhales deeply, and puts the bowl to his mouth, elbows still clamped to his sides to preserve vital warmth.
[14:27]	Haruko_Satonata	inhales sharply and holds her breath.
[14:32]	Malachi_Ortega	swallows the tiny sip he takes immediately, but Mal's face immediately betrays his thoughts on the soup, shrivelling up.
[14:34]	Haruko_Satonata	"....Y-... you do not like it."
[14:35]	Malachi_Ortega	"Iiiiiiii-"
[14:35]	Malachi_Ortega	looks at her in despair and takes another sip.
[14:35]	Haruko_Satonata	looks surprised!
[14:37]	Malachi_Ortega	forces it down. He tries his hardest to mask his horrible disgust, but it's still obvious.
[14:38]	Haruko_Satonata	waits anxiously to hear Mal's answer, wincing a little at the face he makes.
[14:39]	Malachi_Ortega	holds the bowl back out to Haruko, without an answer.
[14:41]	Haruko_Satonata	takes the bowl, staring at Mal with wide, astonished eyes.
[14:41]	Haruko_Satonata	"W-w-... did you?"
[14:42]	Malachi_Ortega	"It... it..."
[14:42]	Malachi_Ortega	stands frozen.
[14:44]	Haruko_Satonata	tilts her head. "Y-yes?"
[14:44]	Malachi_Ortega	Mal's lip quivers.
[14:45]	Malachi_Ortega	shrugs.
[14:49]	Haruko_Satonata	"I-it... th-that is good!"
[14:50]	Haruko_Satonata	"I-I was afraid that... I had.. um.. made it i-incorrectly!"
[14:51]	Malachi_Ortega	"Oh. No. Yes." Mal desperately tries to think of something to change the subject.
[14:51]	Malachi_Ortega	"I am full now."
[14:53]	Haruko_Satonata	looks a little disappointed as she places the lid back on the bowl. "Oh... so you do not want anym-..." She pauses to glance at Aimee's sleeping bulk. "...D-do you think Miss Crow would like it?"
[14:53]	Malachi_Ortega	"Yes."
[14:54]	Malachi_Ortega	steps back, putting his arms back around himself.
[14:54]	Haruko_Satonata	"Really?" Haruko's nervous smile widens.
[14:55]	Malachi_Ortega	nods encouragingly. "Yes." He turns around and goes to look through the duffel bag, in what light there is.
[14:58]	Haruko_Satonata	jiggles excitedly at the thought! Maybe she had finally found a food that she actually dislikes but... everyone else likes. The feeling dies down after a few seconds as she wonders whether this is a good or bad thing.
[15:00]	Haruko_Satonata	Inside the duffel bag is a note!
[15:00]	Haruko_Satonata	<Bear_Armstrong> "Good morning pilots. I'm sorry but something at the base came up and I had to go. Don't worry though, i'm sure you kids can finish this exercise without me.

[15:09]	Haruko_Satonata	"What a-are you looking at?"
[15:10]	Malachi_Ortega	"The-" Mal holds up the note, and tries to find something more edible in the bag.

[15:29]	Aimee	groans, turning a bit in the soft sand. The bags were still too qet when she went to bed to use as a pillow, and no blankets was rather bothersome. It didn't help that the sun was finally just high enough to be impossible to ignore.

[15:42]	Malachi_Ortega	crouches, holding it out to Aimee.

[15:45]	Malachi_Ortega	sounds worried.
[15:45]	Aimee	takes the note and begins reading it
[15:45]	Aimee	"Open up the rest of the bags, if you could..."
[15:46]	Aimee	finishes reading the note, frowning severely. She takes a deep breath, calming herself and trying not to think about the incredibly deep, dark, malicious ocean that wanted to kill her.
[15:47]	Haruko_Satonata	almost trips as she races over to Mal and pulls him back up to standing height.
[15:49]	Haruko_Satonata	pushes Mal's arms aside and wraps herself inside the blanket sheet, clinging to his side.
[15:50]	Malachi_Ortega	"Mm-"

[15:51]	Malachi_Ortega	"What ar-"
[15:51]	Malachi_Ortega	sighs quietly.
[15:51]	Aimee	finishes calming herself, trying not to summon more thoughts of sinking. She stands, stretching and shaking some sand out of her hair as she did so.
[15:51]	Haruko_Satonata	tries to not hyperventilate.
[15:52]	Aimee	"I'd prefer it if you didn't kill Mal by smothering him, Miss Satonata."
[15:54]	Haruko_Satonata	"I--I a-am not sm-smothering him. Y-yes? M-Mal?" She timidly glances up, tightening her grip around his waist.
[15:55]	Malachi_Ortega	squeaks in fright.

[15:56]	Haruko_Satonata	"...... D-did you s-say 'yes'?"
[15:57]	Malachi_Ortega	shudders, and shrugs weakly.
[15:59]	Haruko_Satonata	responds to the shudder with a tighter grip, pressing herself against his side harder since he's obviously still very cold.
[16:00]	Aimee	"Let him go, Miss Satonata. You don't need to crush him in order to warm him up." She shivers herself, taking her time to carefully rip the piece of paper bear left into tiny tiny tiny shreds.
[16:00]	Aimee	has a very disapproving look on her.
[16:00]	Aimee	"Now have you two done anything since we'e been stranded, or has Miss Satonata just attempted to touch you the entire time, Mal?"
[16:01]	Malachi_Ortega	"No we- we only woke up. Um. not long ago.
[16:02]	Aimee	"When Bear." The word is void of emotion. "left?"
[16:02]	Malachi_Ortega	nods feebly
[16:03]	Haruko_Satonata	pouts at Aimee as she reluctantly loosens her grip on Mal. "I did n-... I-... W-We ate as well. Mal did."
[16:04]	Aimee	"So who made the rocks then?" She nods at the small pile of rocks, clearly influenced by someone. "And didn't notice a certain hairy man sneak off to leave us stranded on an island?"
[16:05]	Haruko_Satonata	"...Y-you?" Haruko answers hopefully.
[16:07]	Haruko_Satonata	glances up at Mal for him to confirm her answer as she still refuses to release her hold on him completely.
[16:07]	Aimee	"That would be false Miss Satonata. and I suspect that someone else was too busy sleeping to do it."
[16:07]	Aimee	walks over, knocking over one of the piles with a nudge of her toe.
[16:11]	Aimee	"Where did you wake up, Mal? Miss Satonata?"
[16:11]	Malachi_Ortega	"On the beach."
[16:11]	Haruko_Satonata	"M-Mal said that he did not make the-..." Haruko pauses as she tries to think up a way to change the subject. "A-are you hungry, M-Miss Crow?"
[16:11]	Malachi_Ortega	nods at the pile of sheets he slept in.
[16:12]	Aimee	sighs.
[16:13]	Aimee	"We'll deal with this -after- we get off the island, Miss Satonata. And I'm not particularly hungry..." Her stomach rumbles loudly.
[16:15]	Haruko_Satonata	"Wh-... are they important?" Haruko asks Aimee about the columns as she begins shuffling towards her backpack, tugging on Mal to follow her.
[16:15]	Malachi_Ortega	Does Mal have a choice? He follows anyway.
[16:16]	Aimee	nudges over another one, enjoying the clatter of the rocks as they well into a heap.
[16:16]	Aimee	"Not really, but I think it'd have been nice to be flown back, and not risk drowning again."
[16:18]	Haruko_Satonata	'carries' Mal to her backpack and sets him back down. "Wh- the.. stones?"
[16:19]	Haruko_Satonata	has to let go of Mal as she bends down to pull the soup bowl from her bag.
[16:20]	Aimee	"o no, I mean whoever set them up could have, say, woken us up before BEar left. And then we oculd have gotten off this wretched rock."
[16:21]	Haruko_Satonata	"...Oh."
[16:22]	Aimee	"So, you guys open up any of the bags yet." She shuffles over, trying to ignore her grumbling stomach.
[16:24]	Malachi_Ortega	"Um, yes. One."
[16:24]	Malachi_Ortega	runs his hand through it.
[16:24]	Malachi_Ortega	"There's some stuff."
[16:25]	Aimee	"Like?"
[16:25]	Aimee	has softened her voice. She has also put just a little bit of distance between her and the ocean again.
[16:31]	Aimee	"Anythign good, or did he just leave up some wood planks and a hammer?"
[16:32]	Malachi_Ortega	shrugs.
[16:32]	Malachi_Ortega	"It's mostly stuff."
[16:34]	Aimee	shrugs ”Anything useful at least? Like food?”
[16:34]	Malachi_Ortega	"Oh. Yeah. Cans."

[17:48]	LawfishNice	Instead, there are three pilots, a broken boat, and a few bags of stuff.
[17:50]	Malachi_Ortega	has gone for a walk, with a blanket wrapped over him like some kinda hobo, to see how large the island is and if there's anything interesting.
[17:51]	Aimee	ended up going back to sleep, angry frustrated and confused. Though, thankfully with blankets and sheets it's a good sleep now. At least until the sun decided to come up.
[17:55]	Aimee	has, at least, woken up. And from there, taking a run seemed like it'd calm her nerves. Assuming she didn't split her feet open on some seashell or rock.
[18:02]	Malachi_Ortega	comes across the boat. He doesn't know what to do with it. But with the sun coming up, he feels a little less cold, so tiptoes into the water to swim.
[18:07]	Aimee	does not take a long time to run around the entire island, thankful that it was mostly sand without too many rocks or sharp things on the beach. Though, its size left something to be desired. By the time she went around the entire island once, leaving fairly significant tracks behind her, she had barely even woken up. She stopped by the boot, fixing her bathing suit that kept riding up.
