Ethan didn't have much trouble with his tree, and soon, he'd torn plenty of fruit down from the tree. He saw the sun disappearing over the branches of the trees, and he decided it was time to leave. The jungle after dark was not a nice place to be, even if the camp was close.
He dropped down, landing on his feet. "Think we're done here?"

Before she could apologize for trespassing on his kindness yet again, Ethan was already starting to climb one of the trees. She stepped closer to Jake. "He didn't mean that," she said in a low voice, with a slight laugh. "I'm sure he didn't. You're much too tall to play Cheetah."
"Don't worry about it." Jake waved it off. "We're all adults here. We all know that we're joking. Besides, I'm the one who said I was Cheetah." he smiled, moving off to help Ethan pick up the fruit he dropped down off the tree.
He had to have been an idiot not to notice the chemistry that was going on between Ethan and Gwen. But then again, it was none of his business. It was better if he just said nothing and kept his nose out of it.
He dropped down, landing on his feet. "Think we're done here?"
"About time." Jake said. "I think we have enough fruit to start a fruit shop here, to feed everyone until they're sick of the stuff." He looked towards where the sun had set, and the incoming darkness around them, and nodded to Ethan. "Yeah, let's get back to the beach. I don't want to hang around here any longer than we need to..."

"Yeah, let's get back to the beach. I don't want to hang around here any longer than we need to..."
"I completely agree," Gwen said, beginning to shiver from the oncoming chill but also from the thought of what might be lurking just beyond those shadows. "I hope someone had the foresight to start up the signal fires again. Oh, and I owe you a bottle of water, don't I?" she asked Jake. "We can stop by my shelter on the way back."
She began walking back in the direction of the camp. "So you were on your way to Tennessee, right? Anywhere near Nashville? I know they might revoke my British citizenship for saying this, but I love country music," she confessed. "Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Kenny and Dolly, Reba, Shania, Dwight. Have you ever been to the Opry?" She turned to them with wide eyes, walking backwards as she continued to talk animatedly. "Oh, have either of you ever been to Graceland?"

"Oh, have either of you ever been to Graceland?"
He listened as Gwen talked, smiling slightly. Country music, of course. Johnny Cash, Kenny Rogers, Christian Kane, Dwight Yoakum. People who thought country music was just scratchy old songs by red-necks had the wrong idea. Ethan found most modern music a little hard to bear, in particular dance music of any shape, kind or form. The kind of music which repeated the sound of a machine for ten minutes straight while people didn't dance, they bundled together and hopped on one spot. The same went for grunge and such. Too simple. No depth, not really. Posers and tabloid-headers. He also hated the typical fifteen-minuters who simply screamed at the top of their voices after being on the latest reality show. Those people were never seen again.
Country music, rock and roll....underrated and stereotyped genres, genres which often dealt with haunting themes, emotional stories, important life messages, and many had poetic, wonderfully-written lyrics. Very often, those genres were not appreciated.

"I hope someone had the foresight to start up the signal fires again. Oh, and I owe you a bottle of water, don't I?" she asked Jake. "We can stop by my shelter on the way back."
"Yeah, a bottle of water would be great right now." Jake said, feeling a little thristy since they had started their work. "Thanks, I'd appreciate that."
She began walking back in the direction of the camp. "So you were on your way to Tennessee, right? Anywhere near Nashville?

"I was on my way back to Memphis in Tennessee." Jacob replied. "And ah yes, the old classics. Cash, Rodgers, Reba, Nelson, Kenny, they're all good. Haven't been the Opry though. Graceland, though, that's a different story. Yeah, I've been there. Why, have you?" he asked Gwen, looking between her and Ethan, and wondered why Ethan had chosen to remain quiet. "What about you, partner?" he directed a question towards him. "Have you ever been to Graceland?"

***Sarah runs in from F3 - Camp - Grace's Shelter - Day 3***
Sarah was clearly in a hurry not knowing how much she had to go inside the jungle to be sure the Mason guy wouldn't shoot her while she would take a leak. Just as she was conquering a few feet of the leave covered ground it was already pretty dark and scary around her. Sarah slowed down ... she started thinking about her early thoughts about the time shortly after the crash ... about her nightmares of the jungle and this monster. She turned around, making sure the beach was not to distant to just run back if necessary. No one else was around. Good to pee, bad to get help. Sarah searched for the right spot, not that any spot was as good as another. She crouched down always aware of the sounds and movements around her. She twitched a few times grumbling to herself right afterwards. She was so glad once her duty was done and she could stand up again. *crack* Sarah instantly winced and shortly afterwards stood still like a statue. She stopped breathing, hoping that she was just delusional.

***Kojo arrives from G4 - Beach and Shore***
He came bolting through the jungle, dodging trees and other obstacles. Not once since he was in the water, did he hear the noise again. He ran fairly quietly, especially considering the speed he was running at. He slowed down as he realized he was chasing a shadow. He heard a noise, from beyond the trees, but it wasn't the same noise he had heard before. He approached it slowly, only then realizing that wasn't the best idea.
*Crack[/i]*
He froze in his stance. It wasn't until he heard a noise again, that he jumped out of the trees, only then to have himself turn away in embarrassment, "I... I am sorry."

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Sarah screamed short but very loud. She needed a few seconds to recover - to start breathing again. Still she was shaking and not sure if the most danger was already gone. It took her some more seconds to get calm enough to actually say something. "Are you ... are you from the plane?!" she said with a very fearful voice. Man, that guy was the tallest person she had ever seen!

"Are you ... are you from the plane?!"
He stared at the woman in confusion, he didn't quite understand the question. Maybe it was just a simple error in translation, he felt the best idea to avoid more confusion was to just answer the question, "Uh... yes, I was on the plane."

"Uh... yes, I was on the plane."
Sarah sighed and calmed down instantly. It seemed like danger was banned. "Damned! You scared the shit out of me Friday!" She shook her head calming herself down a lot more by breathing normally. "For a second I thought you were a native islander ... I guess that was not very nice of me, but ..." She looked at his bare torso and feet. In the dark he looked very much like one would consider an islander to look like.

"Well... I assure you, I am not a... Is-lan-der..." Kojo responded. It was because he didn't know how to properly translate sarcasm, that he didn't now realize it should have been insulting.

"Erm ... where you looking for something?!" she asked trying to clear the awkwardness. Because it was clearly her fault that it had evolved in the first place.

He looked at the woman in confusion, "Did you not... I was... never mind," he said as he realized that perhaps the noise he heard was his imagination playing tricks on him. "I... I should go."

Sarah was stunned and it took a few clicks to get her brain working again. "Hey ... wait!" she said to made him stop. "You look like you need some clothes! It's getting freezin'. How have you survived 3 days in that ... dressing anyway?" Again Sarah scanned his minimalistic clothing and the visible muscle structure.

Sarah was surprised. "Well, then you are a walking miracle man." She took a close look at the guy again. "Do you really think you are okay? You talk in incomplete sentences which is usually a sign of memory laps. I am Sarah ... by the way!"

He smiled, "It is not memory--lap... I simply do not have a very strong grasp of English, and so I have to think about what I have to say, although I am working on it," he admitted with his hand stretched out, "I am Kojo."

"Alright Kojo ... but be aware that I have my memory laps now and then. Even though I am a native English speaker ... I could rather be a German or something." she joked.

His smile grew on his, he then turned pointing to the beach, "You keep your clothes, I do not want to be a bother, I am just gunna go back to the beach."
