The first thing that popped into Jake's head was: What the hell? Some guy with a slick haircut and a bad attitude had just stormed up, grabbing all of the belongings that supposedly belonged to him, destroying what work he had done in organising it and folding what clothing there was up neatly. And then he had threatened him. Jacob expected as much - he had been going through his stuff. He expected someone to be defensive about that. But that's not what really bothered him. What added insult to injury was that he had not even given him the chance to explain his actions, and he had stepped over to introduce himself, not to the group as a whole, but specifically to the women only. Oh, great. he thought to himself. We have ourselves a player. A lady's man.
"Hey," he spoke up, cutting Beau off, standing up to meet his eye. Standing up to his full height, he was slightly taller than Beau, but only a little. "Look, I'm sorry about your stuff n' all. But you heard her." He said, supporting what Gwen had said. "The way we got things goin' right now, we're fine n' dandy the way things are. So, we'll handle it, thanks." he said curtly, folding his arms over his chest again protectively. He didn't like the way this guy was eyeing Jasmine and Gwen. He was oozing too much of his charm, and he didn't like it one bit. He knew these kinds of men. 'Hump 'em and dump 'em' was their motto, and he would be damned if he let him anywhere around Gwen, who had become almost like a sister to him, or even Jasmine for that matter. He stepped up to him and stared him square in the eye, and pushed the suttle warning in his serious tone again. "Thanks for stopping by to get your things, though."

Beau looked between the two, the Southener man who had his suitcase, and the woman with the British accent, and laughed half-heartedly. "Alright, I get the picture." he said confidently, and looked between everyone else, who where clearly looking at him now. "Wouldn't hurt to give your name when someone else gives his, love, it's common courtesy. But I guess, like the food here, that's in short supply at the moment." He looked over at the blonde chick, who hadn't said a word yet. "Look me up sometime, beautiful. See you around." he said, winking at her, and then walked away with his suitcase past them. As he did and everyone went back to what they were doing, he turned back around and looked back at Gwen and Jasmine, tilting his head a little to the side, clearly checking them out from behind. Whatever he was thinking, from the amused smirk on his face, his mind was clearly somewhere in the gutter.

Jake shook his head as the man departed. It was a sad sight to see a man like that, who clearly had one thing on his mind, and didn't seem to care who's feelings he had to trample on to get what he wanted. As he turned back around to watch the man leave, he suddenly caught the man looking back in their direction, and it was obvious he was checking out the girls in an inappropriate manner. The anger that had built up in Jake reached it's peak. "Oh, that tears it. It's clobberin' time." he muttered, suddenly stepping past Gwen and the others and stormed up to Beau.
"Hey!" he called out angrily this time, not bothering to lower his voice or sound polite. "What the hell do you think you're doing!? Piss off!" he yelled, shoving the man roughly backwards, and when the man pushed back in self-defense, he grabbed the man by the scruff of his shirt and swung with his good arm, punching him across the jaw. The two men grappled with each other, and the fight was on.

Ethan saw the two men launch at each other, and he sighed. Such children. He rushed forwards, and threw his arms forward, seizing the charmer in a headlock, easily pulling him away from the taller man, and throwing him roughly to the ground. He looked to the dark-haired man. "Hey!" he said. "This guy ain't worth the stains on your fists, man."

Willo looked down at his feet, then back up at the three men fighting. "This is just basic psychology, you know." he said, to no one in pertuicular. "Listen, guys," he said, closing in, but avoiding getting in the middle of this fight. "Guess what? When you're done and your both hurt, we're still going to be on this damn island! And he's still going to be here... and her, and her.... we're stuck here, so we might as well get used to that thought!" he said, not believeing the words were coming out of his mouth. "Let's just let things go for now, alright?"

"Shut it, shorty, I'm breaking it up." snapped Ethan, ignoring the small guy who'd come over, as if he could do anything. The small man wasn't important right now, and neither was the charmer. Ethan was just making sure there wasn't a fight. He looked back at the dark-haired man. "This charmer is nothing, don't worry about him."

"Shorty?" he said. He stood at 6 feet, and was maybe an inch shorter than this guy. "No reason to get snippy, pal. I'm just trying to help." He shook his head, and walked back to the women, making sure he was out of earshot. "Deep psychological problems, all of them," he said, with a half smile. "That one," he said, to Gwen gesturing to Jake, "Wants to be your big brother, which is a somewhat surprizing role revesal." He turned to the new fellow, and said "He feels like sex is the only thing that can fill the void in his life, but it only satisfies him for the shortest of moments. Probably has performance issues, too." he said with a smirk. "And this fellow over here," he said, gesturing to Ethan. "He's a control freak. And he's as concerned with impressing people as anyone else, though he tries to hide it. Course, that's just about every guy. Why do you think I just went through all that?" he said, with a smile. "They'll get tired soon enough," he said, pulling his lemonade out for his sash, and took a quick drink.

"Oh, for goodness' sake," Gwen huffed, as the second fight in as many days broke out between Jake and the arrogant stranger. Not that some tiny part of her didn't think the man deserved it, but Willo was right--it certainly didn't help matters. She was surprised when Ethan appeared out of nowhere to break them up.
"He's a control freak. And he's as concerned with impressing people as anyone else, though he tries to hide it. Course, that's just about every guy. Why do you think I just went through all that?" he said, with a smile.
"Yeah, well, color me unimpressed," she said with a slight roll of her eyes. She hurriedly walked over to the men. "Oi, all of you, that's enough!"
She gave a grateful nod to Ethan and then turned on Beau. "You got what you came for. Now do us all a favor and walk away. And you..." She grabbed Jake's arm and made sure he was looking her in the eye. "Much as I appreciate the Sir Galahad act, maybe it can wait until a time when you don't have a massive gaping wound in your chest, okay?" she said in a low, even voice. "Jake, please..." She gave a light but insistent tug on his arm to lead him away.

He shot a glare at the charmer, and when Gwen came over, he obediently broke away from the fight, simply waiting for Gwen to stop talking to...what was the name of the tall guy? Jake? That was what Gwen had called him, wasn't it?
He hadn't wanted to get into a fight. Always did seem to find one, though.

JACK
***Jack arrives from G3 - Fuselage and Surrounding Area***
He made his way through the sand and the small bushes that ran out from the jungle. He hoped Hurley was behind him, but he didn't really take the time to check. He made his way over to a secluded area of the camp that was surrounded by bushes.
There lay the Marshal, he was still unconscious, his shirt was off and a cloth lay on his head. He was spread out over a sheet, that was surrounded by cloths, medicine and bandages that Jack had laid out the night before. It was like a little operating area.
Jack wiped his forehead, and threw away the sweat as he grabbed a cloth and some alcohol. He poured the alcohol on the cloth as he knelled in the sand.

HURLEY
***Hurley arrives from G3 - Fuselage and Surrounding Area***
He followed blindly as Jack walked quickly to another part of the camp, then stopped short when he saw a man lying there, his head covered with a cloth and a large piece of metal sticking out of his stomach. "Dude," he said.
It looked like Jack was making preparations for some kind of procedure. Which would probably hurt. Alot. "Are you sure he's out?" he asked Jack.

(ooc sorry it took me so long to Reply back... lol... but here is a post to make it all better)
The whole time Jinx Remained rather Quiet, she was tired and hadn’t really slept that well. But she knew that sometimes it was better to remain quiet when you are tired, things come out wrong when one speak out of turn. She heard Gwen and the guy talk about A duet and Gwen was so egar to point out;
"But I should probably rescind that threat of show tunes and leave the singing to our Jasmine; she's much better at it."
Jinx smiled and placed a hand on Gwen’s shoulder and smiled. “Aww thanks.” she said, there was of course more conversation that Jinx kind of Ignored, and not because she wasn’t fascinated but because she just didn’t want to butt in. Unless she was asked a question, she was listening on and off. Jinx couldn’t help think about home, the arguing and everything reminded her of home. With her parents and the complaining about the mess of the house, the money and so on. It was one of the things she wanted to forget.
"Willo, this is Jasmine and Edmund," When she was introduced to Willo she smiled politely of course, not wanting to seem rude. Jinx was way out of character, silent jinx wasn’t what everyone had knew. Everyone who was in economy obviously knew from her passing out Wine. She smiled and remembered all the fun she had in first class, great times. Gwen asked Willo if he liked to help sort through some clothes, his response.. "I will, if you can tell me what colors my eyes are," Jinx couldn’t help but smile.
Gwen said Greenish and nudged her, asking and asking as if she wanted her to try. Jinx wasn’t in the mood for Guessing Games, so she jut shrugged and kept going through some guys luggage. His eyes turned out to be Hazle, no one won that Round. There was more talking, this time about Jake sleeping in Willo’s Shelter. Again Jinx drifted off into her own little world, again she didn’t want to seem uninterested… yet she just wasn’t into talking that day.
"Excuse me!…This belongs to me!" Jinx looked up and smiled, she saw before her a god. A man she would love to sink her teeth into, he looked so sexy. He was saying something to the guy about not going through people’s belongs, so instinct came in and she dropped the man’s stuff, watching him. When the man turned from the other and looked at her and Gwen she smiled. He was dreamy…
"Hello, Please do excuse me, I hope that small quarrel you've witnessed just now doesn't reflect on me poorly as a first impression. I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting. My name is Beau; it's a pleasure to meet you both." all Jinx could get out, as she starred into his eyes was a, “uhuh.” Gwen was quick to punish the man’s bad behavior, making Jinx sigh.
"Well, it's a shame I can't say the same of you, We may be stuck on an island, but that's no reason to abandon basic manners. Now, I'm sorry if your luggage ended up in the unclaimed pile; no harm was meant. I was simply trying to be proactive and gather supplies for the other survivors, and all of these people have been kind enough to help me. So if you're so eager to have a 'misunderstanding,' then you'll have it with me. Got it?"
Jinx sighed, Gwen was right his manners were bad. But never judge a book by his cover, or by his sexy body…even thou that was a big plus. She tried to remind herself that she had a boyfriend, but a real boyfriend would have come on the god damn trip to meet her parents instead of going to work. "Thanks for stopping by to get your things, though." She Felt like whacking someone upside the head, hard. Now jake was sending him away…
Moment passed, they seem like Forever. When the man looked at her she could have melted, he must have figured Gwen wasn’t that interested. "Look me up sometime, beautiful. See you around." All jinx could think was ‘wow he called me beautiful, well duh.. Crap there goes my self-absorbed self again.’ she smiled and nodded, giving him a dashing smile.
Than he watched as if by magic, the anger in jake’s eyes. Like he was Her and Gwen’s keeper. Ok so the guy was a little player, she could tell the moment he walked over, but at least he was nice afterward and apologized about causing a scene. The men were conspiring back and forth and it took Gwen to stop the Festivities. Well she hoped she had stopped them, jinx stood and walked over to them,
“We were all on the same plane, and we landed on the same island. Lets not fight anymore, lets get along.” she smiled and flashed Beau a wide smile. “Plus if you two fight, and he wins. I might not get to know you better.” she smiled.

I looked at each person as he talked about them and saw some of what he spoke of. I'd always been good at getting a general read of people, but nothing near as detailed as Cyrus did.
"I think 'observant' may have been an understatement. Very impressive," I said smiling.
My attention was drawn over to a scuffle breaking out and I shook my head. "You know, before crashing here, I'd never seen a fight in person." I remembered that the guy with the bandage on his shoulder had been with a group separating items from the luggage. The other guy seemed vaguely familiar and then it struck me. He was the guy who had started to help me with my shelter the other night. It had been dark then so I didn't recognize him right off.
"Just out of curiosity, what's your read on why they're fighting? Because I, for one, can't understand why there's all this hostility when nobody really knows each other."

"I think 'observant' may have been an understatement. Very impressive,"
He smiled back at her. "Could be a good pick-up line. Hey, those guys over there are psychologically damaged, wanna go for a roll in the tent?"
"You know, before crashing here, I'd never seen a fight in person."
"I've seen plenty of fights, and I've been in more then a few."
"Just out of curiosity, what's your read on why they're fighting? Because I, for one, can't understand why there's all this hostility when nobody really knows each other."
"The handsome guy, the charmer...well, let's just say I'm sympathetic to whoever has to deal with him. It wouldn't be hard for someone to want to fight him." he replied. "Then again, could be just....frustration at the crash, everyone blaming each other, taking out their anger. It's understandable."

((OOC: No worries, Jinxy. Welcome back to the party. ) “We were all on the same plane, and we landed on the same island. Lets not fight anymore, lets get along.” she smiled and flashed Beau a wide smile. “Plus if you two fight, and he wins. I might not get to know you better.” she smiled. "Jasmine!" Gwen turned to face the blonde with wide, disbelieving eyes. "Don't encourage this man," she chided. But she could already tell from Jasmine's expression that Beau's act had effectively worked on her, and no doubt Beau was wearing some self-satisfied smirk that she'd rather not see right now.

Willo had to force out a laugh at Gwen's reaction. "Well, aren't you just the island mother," he said with a smirk, fulling expecting to be slapped or something. "Not... that that's a bad thing," he stammered, fauxing fear... "Ma'am."

Gwen tilted her head at Willo, who seemed to find this whole scene so amusing. "If everyone insists on acting childish, then yes...yes, I suppose I am," she replied, putting her hands on her hips. At this point, she was tempted to just head back to the relative peace and quiet of her own shelter. Leave them all to their own devices and desires.

"Are you sure he's out?"
He looked up, he was more concentrated on the shrapnel so it took him a second to process the information, then he nodded as his eyes drifted back to the body.

"Jasmine!" Gwen turned to face the blonde with wide, disbelieving eyes. "Don't encourage this man," she chided. Jinx smiled and just as she was about to say something, Willo intercepted. "Well, aren't you just the island mother, Not... that that's a bad thing, Ma'am." Jasmine Giggled and watched Willo back himself into a corner, either that or he was teasing.
"If everyone insists on acting childish, then yes...yes, I suppose I am," Jinx placed a hand on Gwen’s shoulder and smiled. “Well mother, don’t worry. Plus if were stuck on this island…I want to know all the ruggedly hansom island dwellers before I go.” she smiled and winked at Beau.

HURLEY
"Cause, y'know, he might wake up when you yank that thing out," Hurley offered, as Jack seemed focused on the shrapnel.
"Hey, guy, are you awake?" he asked the man. He started waving his arms around enthusiastically. "Look, there's a rescue plane! We're saved! Yay!" But still the man didn't stir.
"Yeah, he's out," Hurley concluded. "S-s-so, what do you want me--"
