***Gwen enters (again) from her shelter in G3 Camp***
She hesitantly approached the stack of discarded luggage again, pacing 'round it like a caged lion as she finished off her protein bar and the last of the water in the bottle. Where to start...
Focused on the clothing first, she decided to break it down into men's and women's. Then by article of clothing. Then by size. It would be like working in the library again. Her friends made such fun of her compulsiveness to organize, her tendency to straighten things on shelves in stores where she didn't even work. But maybe that compulsion would prove helpful to her fellow survivors.
She decided to begin with the red suitcase that she'd been through earlier.

*enters from shelter* SAKURA She yawned and stretched.She looked around. She saw a woman sorting through suitcases. Sakura must find the rest of her belongings. She had already found her two carry-ons now all she had to find were her three pink suitcases.
There was never enough luggage when you've been to a photoshoot. She sighed and started looking for bright pink suitcases. If she had her way someone else would be doing this for her.

***Cyrus enters***
He glanced around, yawning, and spotted someone of interest. A pretty girl, that Ethan had taken an interest in. Might do to quickly introduce himself. He made his way over. "Hey there. Need any help that?" he asked in a friendly tone.

"Hey there. Need any help that?"
"Hmm?" she asked, her attention absorbed by the beginnings of assorted piles. She finally looked up to see a tall, ruggedly handsome man that she didn't recall seeing before. "Oh, um...it's strictly voluntary," she replied with a smile. "I was just looking for a way to keep myself occupied."

"Oh, um...it's strictly voluntary," she replied with a smile. "I was just looking for a way to keep myself occupied."
He smiled and crouched down on his knees, bringing himself down to her level. "Combating boredom, huh?" he asked. "Think I'll move in on your territory and try it myself."
He started to sort through the clothes with her. "By the way, I'm Cyrus."

"Hallo, Cyrus," she said, extending out her hand to him. "Gwendolyn Havers, but everyone calls me Gwen."
She observed as he began to sort through some things. "And thanks, I appreciate the help. I know the task seems a bit morbid, but it looks like we'll have to make the best use of our limited resources. We might be here for a while."

He shook her hand with a smile. "Might be, might be, darlin'. At least some people aren't panicking."

"Oh, don't get me wrong, panicking is still on my To-Do list," she remarked. "There's just several things I need to get done before I get around to that." She smiled at him as she folded a pair of men's khaki pants and added it to a pile.
"But you're right, most people seem to be keeping a level head. Not sure if that's from acceptance or exhaustion, or maybe both. I mean, how many of us have ever been in this sort of situation before? Where do we even begin? If it weren't for Ethan, I wouldn't even have a roof over my head..."

He laughed. "Good luck with that."
"But you're right, most people seem to be keeping a level head. Not sure if that's from acceptance or exhaustion, or maybe both. I mean, how many of us have ever been in this sort of situation before? Where do we even begin? If it weren't for Ethan, I wouldn't even have a roof over my head..."
"Ethan?" he asked, slightly curious as to what she thought of him so far. How he was doing.

"Yeah. Tall, slender, nice eyes," she said, looking around the camp. If he were there, she could point him out to Cyrus. But she didn't see him. "I met him just after the crash, and he's been very sweet to put up with me in all my cluelessness."
She pondered, trying to remember how many people she'd actually spoken with since the crash. It all became a bit of a blur. "What about you? Made any new friends?" she inquired.

He allowed himself a subtle smirk at her description.
"What about you? Made any new friends?"
"Oh, not really, just...this girl I met, she's pretty nice and....so beautiful that it's probably illegal in some countries to be that beautiful. Course, plane crash, all I can think about are my damn hormones." he said, rolling his eyes. "You'd think I'd have other things on my mind."

She laughed as this man who looked like he'd stepped out of the Old West was suddenly talking in such a sentimental tone. "No, I think it's sweet," she said. "I mean, how many couples save up thousands of dollars to come to a place like this? It's lovely. And as you said, romance is a viable option to combat boredom," she declared with a nod.
She glanced toward the fuselage where a group seemed to be gathering. She saw Kate for the second time that morning and then recognized Sayid among the crowd by his long, dark hair and wondered if he'd had any luck with the transceiver repair. Maybe that's why they were gathering.
She turned back to Cyrus. "So...does this goddess of yours have a name?"

He smiled, glad of her encouragement. Benjamin had told him not to get involved, and in a way, he was happy he was. Ben would be annoyed. Which was always nice to see. "I suppose this is a pretty nice place for romance and such. Shame about the lack of Disneylands."
"So...does this goddess of yours have a name?"
"Heidi." he replied.

"Heidi?" she repeated, with a raised eyebrow. "As in blonde pigtails, gingham dress, shepherding a goat herd 'round the Swiss highlands kind of Heidi?"
She quickly held up her hands in apology. "Sorry, sorry. I'm sure she's a lovely girl...with an odd name. Not that I have any room to talk," she observed.

He shot her a look.
"Sorry, sorry. I'm sure she's a lovely girl...with an odd name. Not that I have any room to talk,"
"Unique name. Unique, unique, not odd." he said. "Hm...then again, I'm named Cyrus. You're named Gwendolyn. But that's probably normal in Britain-land."

"Well, normal if you have annoyingly aristocratic parents who are stubbornly trying to keep up appearances," she groaned. "Alright then, unique. We all have unique names."
She moved onto another bag and began to sort through it. "So, Southern accent, right? Second one I've heard in as many days. Well, if you don't count that idiot who was trying to start a fight with Sayid, which I don't," she declared. "What brought you to Australia? Mining for opals, diving off the Great Barrier Reef, kangaroo boxing?"

"You're very welcome, Sarah," I said smiling. "Well, sweetie, I have some things I need to get done. Did you need anything before I go?"

"You're very welcome, Sarah," I said smiling. "Well, sweetie, I have some things I need to get done. Did you need anything before I go?"
Sarah shook her head, she didn't have anything else she needed. "No you can go, i will see you later?" she smiled and just before Heidi walked away... "heidi, can you come and tuck me and mr. Floppers in tonight?"

"What brought you to Australia? Mining for opals, diving off the Great Barrier Reef, kangaroo boxing?"
"Nothing nearly so exciting, darlin'. I was returning from an audition." he replied. Then, curiosity got the better of him. He had to know if it was still broadcast. "You know...those cereal ads? Where the guys are dancing with the cereal in the kitchen? I was the lead guy."
He glanced down to make sure he was sorting the clothes correctly. "As I tell every single person I meet in an attempt to impress."

HEIDI
She was just so adorable that I couldn't help myself. I knelt down in front of her and gave her a hug. "Sure thing, swinkle. And let's not forget our promise to keep an eye on each other." I gave Mr. Floppers a kiss then got up. "I'll see you around."
I walked back to my shelter, smiling the whole way. On the way, I passed by a woman and Cyrus, giving them a smile and a small wave as I passed them. Quickly, I stepped into my shelter to put the chocolate into one of my bags, then went around to the back of the tent to fix the last pole. The vine that I had been using to tie that one off was no where in sight and I couldn't exactly remember if I'd dropped it or put it down somewhere as I'd been distracted with the arrival of Sarah stumbling out of the jungle. Looks like I'd have to go get some more.
