"Don't worry about it, tonight will be fine, we'll have people covering the whole beach perimeter. Any weapons you can find just give 'em to me. I seriously doubt anyone's coming back, but if they do, no one gets near the signal fire, so try to stay in that area, alright?"
"Yes because they were so scared the last time," Cassie sighed and turned her attention back to the group. "If they want in they'll get in, There will be a fight and i don't know about you. But i don't plan on being another one of them."

This was nightmarish. Absolutely unbearable.
Society didn't prepare you for a situation like this, and he had no idea how to begin. As much as he tried not to, he ended up doing what he always did: isolated himself.
He didn't want to waste his film, so he hadn't taken any photographs, despite how much he wanted to. It was a soothing hobby, and he may not even be alive much longer.

ETANA
She lightly crossed her arms as Kyle and Cassie engaged in yet another battle of wills. But she knew nothing of weapons or fighting or strategy, and thought it best to stay out of it. "Right, I'll try to inform people to stay near the signal fire," she agreed with a nod to Kyle and began to walk away.
As she walked back up along the beach, she noticed a young man who'd been keeping to himself most of the time. Well, all of them had for the most part. Hadn't she been trained in diplomacy? Wasn't she expected to speak to strangers and put them at ease?
"Were you able to fix it?" she asked, in a soft voice. "Your camera? I noticed you working on it before..."

He glanced upward suddenly at the calm, smoothly accented voice. "Oh, er....yes, thank you, I did." he said with a polite smile. "Oh, er, I'm Compeyson. A lot of people call me Compey."

ETANA
"Nice to meet you, Compey," she said with a smile. "I'm Etana. And I'm not sure what they're arguing about back there, but apparently the big plan is to stay close to the fire. Just so you know."
She sat down in the sand beside him. "Have you taken many pictures? There's a lot of lovely scenery here," she mused, glancing toward the waves.

"I thought so. Thank you."
"Have you taken many pictures? There's a lot of lovely scenery here,"
"I haven't taken one." he replied, with a slight, disappointed smile. "I'm sort of...saving the film. There is lovely scenery, there's just other things on my mind right now."

ETANA
She sighed. "Yes, I think we're all a bit preoccupied. Finally...something we can all agree upon," she said. "Common ground seems to be in short supply here."
She tilted her head. "You are a long way from Ireland, yes?" she inquired, hoping she'd placed the accent correctly.

"You are a long way from Ireland, yes?"
"Aye, I'm....much too far from Ireland right now, and from any other kind of civilization." he replied. "A little homesick, but I suppose everyone is right now."

"Honestly, I am not in a huge hurry to return home," she confided. "There will be lots of paperwork and people demanding my attention as soon as I arrive, I suspect. I was on a fundraising tour for my country; we are in desperate need of tourist dollars, trade, foreign companies to create jobs and help rebuild our infrastructure. You wouldn't have to happen a couple million dollars to invest in the Rwandan economy, would you?" she inquired with a slight smile.

You wouldn't have to happen a couple million dollars to invest in the Rwandan economy, would you?"
"Sorry, I went on a spree while in Sydney." he smiled back. Rwandan economy? The massacre? Not something he'd thought much about, and he didn't expect many other people did anyway. Like many other things happening in far away countries, it was a simple case of 'how awful' and then channel changing. Still, perhaps that was how people saw his country. And he didn't like the idea that his country's history, it's present, what it's endured, was a matter of channel-changing. "Fund-raising, hm?"

He heard footsteps behind him, he turned around to see the new guy Aaron, "Hey, what's up?" he asked, assuming Aaron came to talk to him.

GOODWIN
He looked around the beach, everyone seemed to be occupied, and none of them could even see him. He took another look, and realized they were to busy to see him. He started to back up slowly. He took one last look before sneaking into the jungle.
***Goodwin leaves for C4 - Jungle Outskirts***

"Fund-raising, hm?"
She nodded. "Yes, something like that," she replied. "I was born there, but my father was Belgian. He was able to get us out of the country before things became very bad. And now I've returned, looking for some way to help rebuild. Ironically, now our country has to play host to refugees from the Congo, Sudan, Somalia. So many people looking for safety..."
She gave him an apologetic look. "I'm sorry, I don't wish to sound self-important. I know Ireland has seen its own share of war and bloodshed," she said.

"We need to group up. We have to make sure that, should they decide to come back, we'll be ready. The closer we are to eachother, the less area we have to watch. It's like this... if you have a long border, it's harder to defend than a small border... if we limit the ways they can get to us, the better chance we have and fending them off."

He stared at Aaron, clearly he had experience in this kind of stuff, whether or not Kyle knew his story. Obviously he was scared, scared of these people, sure they're kinda creepy, and decide to take some of them for a random reason, but to be this cautiaus, they enemy would have to be a threat, and Kyle was curious to why this guy found them to be such a threat. They seem to be simple, savage people... to Kyle at least. Sure he had some experience in life threatening situations, but this was different.
"Look," he told the guy, "You can do what ever you want, but you keep talking about 'these' people like they're gunna fucking invade us, and your gunna scare the shit out of everyone... and once you do that, its all so much easier for them to snag us on a whim." Kyle was almost certain this guy was crazy, but who was he to say anything. But this Aaron guy reminded him of the suspicious Y2K nuts.

"I'm sorry, I don't wish to sound self-important. I know Ireland has seen its own share of war and bloodshed,"
"Oh, no...no problem at all. Every country is concerned with it's own problems, unless the problems of another country affects 'em." he replied. "We've had some...problems. Sectarian killings. The troubles. All that, it's just the same old story."

"You're right," he said. "But I guess my point is, they're coming, and we need to be ready. Listen, no one is going to listen to me. I'm new here, no one knows me... I know a couple things about psychology, and no one has any reason to trust me."
He looked at Kyle. "If we're going to get everyone working together, you're going to have to be the person to do so."

"If we're going to get everyone working together, you're going to have to be the person to do so."
All he could bring himself to do was pause, he wasn't really in thought, just the whole context caught him off guard, "What are you talking about?" he asked, "Why me?"

Cassie decided to place Cassie on the back burner for a moment, She was bringing out Fox. she had a plan to keep everyone in and certain people out, so they would be safe no matter what. They would know if 'they' came back. Walking over to Kyle and Aaron; "Alright boys, we got anything Noisy?" They were probably confused...
"I have an idea, when i use to camp out. we would Tied things that were noisy together on some kind of Rope. When someone triped on them or wiggled them at all, it would sound off and we were all warned before anything could attack."
