Jungle outskirts leading in from the fuselage beach area. The survivors first enter this area in day 3. Location found in box G3 below: Each box is 3 miles by 3 miles. It takes an hour to walk 3 miles. But also keep in mind that hiking (like that really steep hill to get to higher ground) will take a heck of a lot longer and that if you're running (like from some jungle thing), that you'll get somewhere faster.

***Ethan enters G4 - Jungle Outskirts Near Fuselage from his shelter, followed soon afterwards by Cyrus***
Ethan slammed the axe downwards, cutting a piece of wood in half. He kicked the remains over into a pile. Attempting to take his mind off what had been happening. He raised the axe again, when a voice stopped him.
“Well, howdy, huntsman.”
Ethan sighed, cursed under his breath, and stuck the axe into the tree stump, turning to Cyrus. “Hello there, Cy. Can I help you?”
“Y’know, I saw the most curious thing. I could’ve sworn I saw that pretty latino lady kicking your ass.” Smiled Cyrus.
Ethan bowed his head slightly, trying to ignore the insult. “Not all together wise, insulting a man with an axe.”
“If you were a man, it would be. As it is, you’re an ape. Something that fight proved.” He took a few steps forward, folding his arm and his expression turning serious. “You’re gonna blow your cover, and mine. Something I refuse to let happen, meaning you better straighten up. I know you’ve been trailing after your little flight attendant like she has beer flavoured-"
"Shut up. Don't think I don't see you and curly-haired girl. You are in no position to scold me. I may act out and be mean from time to time, but you are a hundred times worse, because you would never admit the type of person you are.” Snapped Ethan angrily, looking up suddenly and striding over to Cyrus, whose expression remained the same.
“Y’know, Ethan…I think if your flight attendant isn’t around anymore, it might do you good.” He whispered coldly. “This’ll only end badly. I’ll get on that.”
Ethan seized him suddenly by the collar, furiously flinging the other man onto the tree stump. He grabbed the axe, raising it above Cyrus’ head, holding Tager in place firmly.
“Ethan, you lousy little bastard-“
“Shut up!”
This wasn’t a wise thing to do. And Cyrus would certainly come back and hurt him in some other way just for touching him. It could have all sorts of bad consequences. But he didn’t care. He had threatened Gwen. “If you go near her…if you talk to her, if you even think about her at all…then the first thing I’m going to do, is warn everyone, including your Heidi, all about you, and what kind of person you really are.” He dropped the axe to the ground, and leant down, chanting in Cyrus’ ear, “Oh, and I’ll kill you, too.”
He let Cyrus go, still holding the axe, keeping his eyes focused on his enemy. “Out here, your authority is what I say it is. It’s survival of the fittest, and you’re not looking too fit.”
Cyrus stood, breathing heavily with rage simmering beneath his blue eyes. But whatever Cyrus was thinking, he apparently decided it wasn’t worth it, walking right past Ethan.
***Cyrus leaves for the beach***

***Gwen enters from F3 - Jungle Outskirts of Survivor's Camp***
She heard the sound of chopping wood as she headed back toward the fuselage, stepping through the trees to see that it was Ethan wielding the axe. He hadn't seen her yet; maybe she should just find another route. The way he'd left her tent so quickly, he probably wasn't interested in talking to her at all anytime soon. But she was tired of avoiding potentially uncomfortable situations.
"Hey," she said, not wishing to startle him. "Great minds think alike, huh?" she smiled, holding up her stick collection.

Still angry from his confrontation with Cyrus, and with the heat starting to get to him, he tossed his shirt aside, and then began to make it into a makeshift carrier bag for the numerous pieces of wood he'd collected. It hadn't been more than a few days, and things were already so...complicated.
"How did this get so complicated?" he wondered aloud, before he heard footsteps behind him.
"Hey,"
Gwen again. "Hey." he replied back, not smiling but with a friendly enough tone.
"Great minds think alike, huh?"
Now he did smile. "I guess so. You out here alone?"

"No, no. I was just, um..." she began, making a conscious effort to look him in the eyes and ignore his shirtless chest and arms. "Severin and Jasmine were helping me gather some wood for the signal fires. But then Jasmine started regaling us with teen pop tunes and I had to escape."

"Severin and Jasmine were helping me gather some wood for the signal fires. But then Jasmine started regaling us with teen pop tunes and I had to escape."
He landed the axe into the tree stump, and left it there as he packed the last few pieces away. "Teen pop tunes? Britney Spears? Christina Aguleria? Well, that would make me run for the exit. Even if I was still on the plane."

"Well, I'm not sure we're sufficiently trained for that emergency scenario," she laughed slightly. "I gather you weren't around for Jasmine's private concert in first-class while we were boarding. Complete and total diva. Or so I thought. She's actually turned out to be very sweet."
She stepped closer to him as he finished his work. "Severin saw the fight. He came by to...apologize for Ana-Lucia. Said she had made bad decisions, and she was just trying to deal with everything. As if the rest of us aren't doing the same. But anyway, he seemed sincere."

He stood fully, looking at her directly. "Well, that's that, then. You get the people who try to talk and reason in times of panic, and then you get people like Ana-Lucia and me. Who lay a punch into the first thing that gives them a reason." he said with a smile and a shrug. He kept his wounded hand away from her sight, keeping it by his leg with the palm forward so she wouldn't she the cut and bloody knuckles.

"Well, that's that, then. You get the people who try to talk and reason in times of panic, and then you get people like Ana-Lucia and me. Who lay a punch into the first thing that gives them a reason."
She looked upward in contemplation. "Say, for example, a man like Sawyer?" she mused. "I could easily say 'Don't let him wind you up,' but that would be hypocritical of me. Not to mention completely ineffective since his behavior isn't likely to change anytime soon. Anyway, I just wanted to give you a heads-up, in case Severin wanted to speak with you," she said. "I think he fears a class-action suit from the victims of Ana's oppression."
She bit her lip and readjusted her grip on the bundles of wood. "By the way, back at my shelter...did I do something wrong?" she asked. "I mean, if it was something I said or did, maybe I should know for future reference. In case I need to send other men running for the hills," she remarked with a weak smile.

"I think he fears a class-action suit from the victims of Ana's oppression."
"I'll be careful." he laughed. "Although that's an idea. Sue Ana."
"By the way, back at my shelter...did I do something wrong?" she asked. "I mean, if it was something I said or did, maybe I should know for future reference. In case I need to send other men running for the hills,"
He set everything down. "No, Gwen." he said firmly. "It's nothing you've done. You couldn't do anything to make me run for the hills, it's my own neurosis. I just don't want you to think I'm a better person than I really am."
He picked his pile up again. "And if any man runs for the hills from you, they're a waste of a human being."

She looked away and fought back a blush. "Well, you sure know how to make a girl feel self-conscious, don't you?" she observed.
"I just...I realized something while I was talking to Severin. I have this habit of keeping people at a distance, telling them what they want to hear, not being honest with myself," she said. "I had a lot of practice and I got very good at it. But I just walked away from a sodding plane crash. I get a second chance. We all do, if you stop and think about it. And I don't want to make the same mistakes again. So neurosis or not, you're the closest thing I have to a friend 'round here, and I don't want to screw that up."

He listened to her carefully, thinking about what she was saying.
A second chance wasn't possible for him. Was it? Would it be that difficult to try and start over? To tell her and the other survivors all about Ben and the rest of them? About Dharma? All the secrets? To pray they'd believe him and accept him? Was there even any protection from Ben, or would admitting the truth be the same as taking a cyanide pill?
No. He couldn't get a second chance. He'd been working on the island for too long now.
"Thank you." he said sincerely. "You're the closest thing I have to a friend as well, and, uh...thanks, yeah."

"Good," she nodded. "Now that's settled...feel like starting a few fires? All these nightly bonfires--it's a shame we don't have any marshmallows," she sighed, starting off in the direction of the beach.

MASON
"Alright, we don't need to go too far, James," he said. He stopped at a couple of trees and looked up. "This should be a good place to start."
He turned around, smiling at James until he saw Ana behind him.
"What in the hell do you want?" he said, glaring at the woman who, less than 24 hours ago, had kicked him in the crotch.

**James enters from G3 - Fuselage and Surrounding Area**
"Alright, we don't need to go too far, James"
"Looks like as good a place to start as any" James smiled, looking over the nearby trees and trying to assess what materials would suit their needs best.
"What in the hell do you want?"
James turned and felt his heart sink. There was a determined look on Ana's face that told him she was not there to offer her support. He didn't dislike her by any means, but the bad blood between her and Mason could not have been more obvious.

Ana had been tailing the two guys for a short while, not trying to hide from them, but equally trying not to be obvious. Considering the incident with Mason the day before, getting the knife from him wasn't going to be an easy task. She wasn't desperate enough to straight out use violence to get it, but if he pushed her far enough, it was likely she would just take it by brute force. That wasn't such an unappealing thought, but there were smarter ways to work.
If she could stay back and bide her time for a moment when he was distracted enough to put it down, she could aquire herself a weapon without any arguements. Take the easy option. She stopped for a moment to consider why she'd thought of the knife first as a weapon, rather than a tool - which was what she really wanted it for, but her train of thought was derailed by an unfriendly voice.
"What in the hell do you want?"
Well apparently, the easy option was now out the window.
Ana carried on walking as casual as she could given she'd just been busted stalking the pair. A quick change of tactics was in order, which meant she had to act as though she didn't want the knife at all. Mason seemed to have a chip on his shoulder about the whole family jewels incident, so making him aware she wanted something he had would only result in her never getting it. Never getting it peacefully, anyway.
"Free jungle last time I checked." She said, with a slight nod of acknowledgement to James.

MASON
He frowned and looked at her from across the way. He didn't want to be around Ana, in fact, he wanted to be as far away from her as possible.
"Free jungle last time I checked."
"I think the jungle might have something to say about that," Mason said, recalling what he had seen and heard from the jungle, as well as the rumors around camp. He pointed about 45 degrees in a different direction.
"Let's head over here, James," he said. "Deeper in the jungle we should find stronger branches." His voice was loud and deliberate, and clearly was not meant for just James. The direction he had pointed didn't have much of a clear path, and was deeper into the woods than Erik would have liked. But he didn't trust this woman at all.
