HURLEY
"Ain't my fault y'all ate the rest of the food."
He looked back to Jack with a pained expression. "Yeah, we kinda...ate it all," he admitted sheepishly. "Everybody thought rescue was coming, man..."

**James enters from G3 Area of Survivors' Camp**
James stood beside Mason, arms folded, watching interestedly as the situation unfolded before him. He had no intention of getting involved; the conflict was none of his business and besides, it seemed that Jack and Sayid had everything under control. He would only intervene if absolutely neccessary.

JACK
The news hits him just as hard as it hit everyone else. Now they were stuck on an island, with no rescue for 5 days, and now they were out of food. "Alright everybody, just calm down," he said in a tone of disappointment and fear. He figure it would be better to take the news and react positively, or else there would be a panic.

KATE
***Kate enters from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp***
Kate remained silent as she stood near Jack, taking in everything that was said. She was not surprised. Over 40 people eating airplane food that survived the crash and was still edible, it was only a matter of a short period of time until it ran out. Nobody bothered paying the food much attention, what with rescue parties finding them within a day or two of the crash. But this was their fifth day on the island. It was time to start paying attention to things such as sustenance.
***Heidi and little Sarah enter from G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp***
HEIDI
I worked my way toward the scene and stopped next to Erik, listening and soon mirroring the concerned expressions of everyone else, save Jack who appeared to view the problem as easily solved. The pile I'd gotten little Sarah's breakfast from that morning was sparse, but the optimistic in me had thought it was just that pile running low.
Calm down? I thought. My demeanor only showed the slight worry I felt. Everything always works out for the best, I reminded myself. We'll get through this. But Jack's gonna have to tell us why we should calm down and remain calm. I waited patiently, knowing that Jack had or would soon have a plan.

Little Sarah
With a small smiled she stayed close to Heidi, she had soken Cyrus to the bone before Heidi had dragged her away. she wanted to say something whitty, you know like Xena or Buffy would do, but she never got the chance. "Heidi is everything ok?" she was worried about her friend, Heidi seemed upset or worried.

HEIDI
"Hm?" I said as I looked away from Jack and down to little Sarah. "Oh, everything will be fine," I said with a comforting smile. "Jack or one of the other people who seem to know what they're doing will come up with a plan to make sure everything stays okay."

Little Sarah
Sarah smiled and nodded, she still wasn't all that sure at all. But everything would be ok, it had to be. Sarah smiled and sat down playing with Mr. Floppers. i mean why wouldn't everything be ok, the adults were taking care of everything.... 'o yah were doomed.' she mumbled to mr. floppers.

*Nikki enters from G3- Nikki and Paulos Tent, closely followed by a disgruntled Paulo*
Nikki stomped over to where a small crowd was gathering, with the big guy she knew to be Hurley and the packrat who she had a sneaking suspicion had some of her luggage standing center to the crowd.
'Whats going on?' She said in a muttered whisper to the brown haired woman who she thought was named Kate, crossing her arms and surverying the scene.

KATE
Kate looked over at the blonde woman who she'd learned from someone or by overhearing--how she knew didn't really matter--was Nikki. "Inevitable situation," she said in a quiet voice with a slight shrug, having faith a solution would be found, "the food is running low. We're working on a solution." She added a reassuring smile in hopes the news wouldn't put Nikki into hysterics. She didn't know the woman well enough to know how she'd react.

SAYID
This was getting out of hand. Unless the energies of the crowd were re-directed elsewhere, they could very well have a food riot on their hands.
"We can find food. There are plenty of things on this island that we can use for sustenance." He explained, calmly.

SAWYER
He plopped himself down on a couple of airplane chairs and asked, "And exactly how are we gonna find this sustenance?"

He listened as he organized his knives. The arguing. The petty squabbles over food. These were...growing pains. They were forced now to adjust to the most basic of needs. First came shelter, now food, and water would soon follow.
He wanted to edge his way into the conversation, but several people who tried were dismissed by the loud, repetitive quarrels. People didn't appreciate subtlety any more. You couldn't tap someone on the shoulder to get their attention, you had to hit them with a sledgehammer. In one, swift move, he would have to show his strength, authority and expertise. He had to establish himself, because no one would wait around and figure him out.
He grasped a knife in one hand. Aimed.
"And exactly how are we gonna find this sustenance?"
And threw.
The knife cut smoothly through the air, embedding itself deep into the plane seat next to Mr Sawyer. That was his sledgehammer. He felt all eyes turn to him, and he allowed himself a brief smile before stating the next move of the islanders.
"We hunt."

KATE
The dozen or so panicked arguments were getting them nowhere. Someone needed to take charge and go about this in an organized manner. Just at that thought, I knife came sailing through the air and right into the seat next to Sawyer. Kate felt her heart skip a beat and she quickly looked toward the direction the knife had come from. She remembered him from that day when she was taking the shoes from a body in order to go on the hike. He'd smiled at her, orange peel in mouth. Kate had thought him a bit on the odd side. The fact he had a knife was not comforting, especially with the heightened security at airports since 9/11. Who is this guy?
"How'd you get that knife on the plane?" she asked, pointing to the knife.
HEIDI
The woosh sound of the knife flying by and embedding itself so close to Sawyer nearly gave me a heart attack. My knees nearly buckled and I could feel my heart racing as I placed a hand over it, as I followed everyone's gaze to the man called Locke.

***Grace enters from... wherever***
She had dared to take off the headphones Willo had so kindly loaned her, and now Grace stood in the crowd trying to make sense of what was happening. Why on earth did the bald man throw a knife at the man sitting down? Were they fighting? The jumble of sounds pressing on her sensitive ears didn't help at all, and without realizing it she brought her hands back up over her ears so that she could try to focus on reading their lips or at least the general mood of the situation.

MASON Erik turned to James with a half smile. "I might not have to give up my cufflinks afterall," he said.
WILLO He followed Grace to the group, looking at her with concern, but stood next to her silently.

James stared incredulously at the knife now deeply enbeded beside Sawyer, turning with everyone else to stare at the man who had thrown it. There was something unsettling about how at ease he seemed to be with the situation. He had spoke of hunting in a voice so casual it could almost be misconstrued as a joke, yet there was a blazing conviction in his eyes that firmly cemented his seriousness. Quite how they were supposed to do this was beyond James' comprehension; the slaughter of wild animals was not a skill his Reporting had required, and unless such creatures had the ability to read shorthand, he wasn't even sure of how to tempt them out of hiding. He continued to watch this unusual man, waiting for his next move.
"I might not have to give up my cufflinks afterall"
"No, we might not be bribing Sawyer so much as removing sharp objects from him" James replied.

Gwen's attention snapped back to John after the knife landed only a few inches from Sawyer's head. The man had helped little Sarah build a sandcastle, and helped Gwen with her crossword puzzle; now he was tossing sharp objects about?
"Good Lord, how many weapons did you people manage to sneak on that plane?" she cried with an indignant huff.

"How'd you get that knife on the plane?"
"Checked it." he replied simply. After all, there was little else to say about his knives.

He turned to Gwen and shrugged. "I don't think his are props, either."

"We're working on a solution." She added a reassuring smile.
Nikki had been lost in thought, both at what Kate had said and the possible idea that she might have found where the one very specific peice of luggage she was looking for may have been taken.
Her thought were cut into by the sharp sound of the Knife slicing into the chair just inches from the packrats face. At this point, Paulo placed a comforting arm around Nikki, but also stared bewilderedly at the bald-headed man who had just thrown the metallic weapon.
