***Tusti enters from G3 - Fuselage***
Tusti looked around the camp and walked up to a woman who seemed to be reading a newspaper.
"Excuse me, miss?" Tusti asked her. "I'm working with Sayid to gather electronics for resuce, so I was wondering if you had any you could hand over?"

I looked up, a bit startled because I hadn't heard her approach, though able to brush it off quickly with a friendly smile as I listened to her. My expression turned thoughtful as I mentally went over what electronics I had. My iPod, I just couldn't give up. I still had battery left in it and I needed that music. It was my small link to the real world. "I have a cell phone I could give you," I said reluctantly. I was very protective of my stuff and it was hard to give it away, but it was no use here. I'd just have to buy a new one when I got home. "Gimme a sec and I'll grab it."
I knelt down at the tent flap and rummaged around in one of my bags until I finally found it. "Here it is," I said as I looked down at it, then pushed a button to get the screen saver off so I could check the battery. "The battery is pretty low," I said as I continued to look at my phone screen which had ROAMING plastered across the top. It had a picture of my cousin Bobby and I felt this sudden rush of sadness at how much I missed everyone. I took a deep breath and put a smile back on my face as I handed my phone over to her. "Here ya go."

As the woman handed the phone to Tusti, she noticed that there was a picture of a loved one on the screen. She felt selfish taking the only think this woman might have of the outside world. But then again, it would be just as selfish to let her keep the phone.
"Thank you, miss..." Tusti's voice trailed off, implying that she didn't know the woman's name and hoped to get a response.

"Oh. Heidi," I said introducing myself with a smile. "So, um, you guys working on a project or something? Anything I can do to help?" I was hoping for something different to do; preferably something useful.

"Well Sayid's gonna try to use all these electronics to catch a signal," Tusti explained, putting the phone into her bag of electronics. "You can help me gather more electronics if you'd like. You seem to know a lot more people around camp than I," she confessed.

"Well, I don't really know that many people, but," I quickly added so she didn't think I was trying to make excuses, "I can help ask around." Going up to strangers when it was part of a job was something I could do. I only had a problem approaching people in a social way. I guess as a job, it gave me a reason to as well as a topic. "Oh, I don't think I got your name." At least I hoped she hadn't told me already.

*Enters with Gwen from G4 - Beach and Shore*
JINX
Sitting Gwen and herself away from the other, and where they could talk Jinx looked at Gwen. “What happened back there, that made you all Child like and untalk-worthy? Because the Gwen o met the last couple of days, wells he wouldn’t have let anyone push her around. Hell you told me a pop diva to get back in my seat. I haven’t been told what to do since my second Album sold Platinum.”
Jinx sighed, “I just want to make sure that no one is making my friend Miserable than need be. I mean how more miserable can we get, were stuck on this island?” she gave a small smile.

Gwen didn't fight Jasmine as she led her away, back to a secluded area of the camp. She was glad that Jinx had read her mind and removed her from the situation, but now she'd have to face all of Jasmine's questions. Granted, they were phrased in a more friendly way than the Latina officer had used.
“I just want to make sure that no one is making my friend Miserable than need be. I mean how more miserable can we get, were stuck on this island?”
"Well, I think that little incident back there proved that things can always get worse," Gwen sighed, removing the scrunchie from her hair and fidgeting with it in her hands. "Ana-Lucia knows," she said simply.

"Well, I think that little incident back there proved that things can always get worse," Gwen sighed, removing the scrunchie from her hair and fidgeting with it in her hands. "Ana-Lucia knows," Jasmine was a little more dense than others, so for a moment it took her a bit to get what Gwen meant. Than it all clicked in, she knew about the pilot and about the change of course. She knew and Gwen was made to face that hell all over again.
“Christ,” was one of the only things Jasmine had finally been able to slip from her mouth before Turning back to Gwen. “And I guess all that meant she didn’t take well to the news.” Jasmine gave a small smile, “But it has to be more than that. And you don’t have to tell me what if you don’t want to. I saw your face, usually your more… o what’s the word? Persistent and….”she struggled to think, “well I guess Persistent and Hard headed, I know I am saying this wrong…”
Jasmine was rambling on, and on… she took a deep breath, “The point is Ana looked to be the mother and you the child. She didn’t blame you for this did she, because I will beat her up.”

"Oh, I am not hard-headed," Gwen countered. "Well, okay, maybe I am. A bit. And thank you for the offer. Maybe some other time..." She smiled weakly.
"She knew about us being off-course," she explained. "How, I don't know, but...she confronted me about it, about what had happened to the pilot, and things just sort of escalated. I know I could have handled it better, but she made me feel so guilty. Lying to everyone about where we are, what's actually out there in the jungle--I know it was the right thing to do. The only thing to do. I know it was necessary to protect everyone. But apparently she feels entitled to know just how completely screwed up things are..."
She ran a hand through her hair. "And now of course, Officer Ana will feel compelled to enlighten Jake as to what a horrible, manipulative sceming wench I am," she remarked. "He'll probably never speak to me again."

Jinx was smiling a little bit, when Gwen insisted that she wasn’t hard headed at all. Jinx knew she was, and Gwen knew she was and that’s all that mattered, well at that particular point anyways. Jasmine sighed, and rested her head on the tree behind her listening to Gwen.
"She knew about us being off-course," she explained. "How, I don't know, but...she confronted me about it, about what had happened to the pilot, and things just sort of escalated. I know I could have handled it better, but she made me feel so guilty. Lying to everyone about where we are, what's actually out there in the jungle--I know it was the right thing to do. The only thing to do. I know it was necessary to protect everyone. But apparently she feels entitled to know just how completely screwed up things are..."
“Gwen you were not the only one who lied, we all did. Because we thought it be better than everyone panicking. You did the right thing, well all did the right thing. We were all shaken up and you were in shock, at that moment It was the right thing. But maybe eventually everyone should know, but its way to soon to go blabbing it about. Its only been four days, not months.” and she gave a small laugh, “And pardon me when I say, who cares what Jake thinks. Hell,” Jinx waved her hand about. “I mean yeah he’s nice looking and he has a Great ass but what other man on this island does? Beau, Jack, and that Sayid dreamboat…” she gave her a wink. “The list goes on.”

"My apologies," Tusti apologized at the realization that she asked for Heidi's name and didn't give anything in return. "My name's Tusti."

“And pardon me when I say, who cares what Jake thinks. Hell,” Jinx waved her hand about. “I mean yeah he’s nice looking and he has a Great ass but what other man on this island does? Beau, Jack, and that Sayid dreamboat…” she gave her a wink. “The list goes on.”
She quirked an eyebrow at her. "So you've already begun a list then?" she observed. Then she shook her head in resignation. "Unfortunately for me, I do care what Jake thinks. We had this...I dunno, connection. And not a physical one, before you decide to go there," she added quickly. "But once you find out that your faith in someone has been misplaced, once you know that they've betrayed your trust...you can't go back to the way things were," she said sadly, only slightly aware that she might have been talking about someone other than Jake. Someone she'd trusted for much longer.
She inhaled deeply, still trying to de-stress. "Which is why I should tell that Sayid dreamboat the truth as soon as I can," she asserted.

"So you've already begun a list then?"
“But of course, have to know who’s Available, shall I place Sayid down for you?” Jasmine smiled, and noticed that Gwen wasn’t done just of yet. She had more to get off her chest, and Jasmine would listen to every word.
"Unfortunately for me, I do care what Jake thinks. We had this...I dunno, connection. And not a physical one, before you decide to go there," she added quickly. "But once you find out that your faith in someone has been misplaced, once you know that they've betrayed your trust...you can't go back to the way things were,"
Jasmine just nodded, she too could relate to that. Once trust was gone, boy was it gone. And sometimes that could lead to death… (flashback coming soon).
By the time Gwen was gone, Jasmine had snapped back into Reality. She gave a small smile. “Yeah I know what you mean.” jasmine nodded, “I think your right, Tell Sayid. Might help with the--not sure of a big word to use.. Um, Calcu-limp-a- nations or something along those lines.” Jasmine waved her hand, she was never good with words like that.

Gwen did a double-take, not expecting Jasmine to agree with her so readily. Or maybe she was just getting used to people second-guessing her. "Yeah, something like that," she nodded with a smile. "I'm not sure about the details, but he seems confident he can get the transceiver working again. Besides, if he is going to end up hating me and telling me to sod off, I might as well get it over with now," she shrugged.

“Ya know, your all depressing me. No one hates you, well no one besides Ana the Enforcer I guess.” Jinx smiled, “I don’t even think sarah hates you, and that’s well… well I don’t know what that is. Sometimes I wonder about our Former doctors wife,” Jasmine smiled, she was worried about everyone, but mostly worried about Gwen. Because everything again seemed to be her fault…
“Listen why don’t you get some rest, I’ll finish up for you. What were you suppose to do today?”

“Listen why don’t you get some rest, I’ll finish up for you. What were you suppose to do today?”
"Oh, just finish up gathering whatever electronics I can and handing them over to Sayid," she replied. "Which, given my previous encounters today, I'm actually looking forward to. Then again, he is a soldier and probably knows 32 different ways to kill me. If he does, you can have my shelter," she offered, getting to her feet and dusting the sand off her jeans.

“Enough with you ms. Morbid, go finish your chores and come by my shelter tonight. Drinks are on me.” she said this in a hushed whisper so no one else but them would hear. She didn’t want everyone knowing she had a bottle of wine to her disposal…or was it champagne? Her mind did wander a bit. “Gwen just stay out of trouble huh, I’m not a super hero and I don’t have a special signal in the sky. Can’t always be there to rush to your aid.” Jasmine was joking with her of course….

"Hey, I wasn't lookin' for a fight...always seem to find one, though," she remarked, slinging her backpack over her shoulder. "And thanks. It's good to know someone has my back. Especially since I seem to hear the sharpening of knives..."
She smiled warmly at her before turning to leave. "I'll see you later. Good luck with that list," she offered in parting.
