JIN & SUN
Not understanding what people were saying was definitely one of the most aggravating experiences of Jin's life. There was much chaos until the doctor had returned and it all seemed to be based on the same thing he'd been harassed about earlier; the water. The words were gibberish to his ears but based on the earlier interrogation put together with the events that had just occurred, it was easy to piece together that water was in short supply. Jin obtained two cups and joined the haphazard line of survivors waiting for water. As soon as he had the two cups filled, he headed to his wife and sat down next to her, handing her one of the cups without a word.
They both drank in silence. Jin picked up a stick near the fire and poked at the burning embers as he felt his wife's eyes on him.
She recalled his words on a previous day about them depending only on each other, she depending on him for the most part, and basically ignoring the needs or offers from everyone else. As he could not understand Jack's speech on the importance of living together or dying alone, it seemed he was starting to realize on his own how ridiculous he had been trying to shut everyone else out. She chose her words carefully as if testing him. "Thank you. For getting me water today," she said in Korean.
"That's what husbands do," was his emotionless and ambiguous reply.
I married the most stubborn man in creation, she thought. Sun did not bother to reply.
MICHAEL
He walked away from the group with his two cups of water and back to where he'd left Walt playing with Vincent. Now, however, Walt was fast asleep. Michael smiled down at his son and placed the extra cup of water in front of Vincent as he settled himself down on the sand.
KATE
Kate had seen the pained expression before Jack headed away from the group. She watched him settle down in front of one of the fires and headed straight over after getting a couple cups of water. Kate held one of the cups out in his line of vision to get his attention.
HEIDI
Like it seemed most people were doing, I'd gotten two cups of water and started to make my way toward little Sarah's shelter when I'd overheard Sawyer's remark to Boone and turned to see his smug expression as he walked away. What a jackass, I thought with a glare at his back. Like usual, my 'people are generally good' belief kicked in. As if Boone wasn't feeling low enough. He probably had a good reason for doing what he did... he just hadn't thought it all out properly.
Little Sarah was asleep. I'd probably regret waking her up just for a small drink of water and risk having her up and hyperactive all night which would put even more of a dent in my lack of sleep. Making up my mind, I headed over to Boone and sat down next to him.
"Sawyer's wrong, you know," I said, holding out one of the cups to him. "Everyone doesn't hate you."

SAWYER
"That was real nice. You couldn't have let him have a break?"
"Sorry 'bout that, Elvira," he shot back, referring to her pale skin and long dark hair. "Didn't realize there was an island etiquette. But maybe next time he'll know better than to do favors for you people."

ROSE
The impact of Jack's words has softened and spoiled, due to Sawyer. 'How could ignore everything Jack just said she thought' She saw a young girl retalliate, sticking up for Boone. As brave a mve it might of been it'd still failed
Sorry 'bout that, Elvira," he shot back, referring to her pale skin and long dark hair. "Didn't realize there was an island etiquette. But maybe next time he'll know better than to do favors for you people."
"Listen guys, there's no need to fight. Did you hear what Jack just said live together die alone!?" she tried to calm the situation before it boiled over.
RUBY
Also overhaering Sawyer's harsh words towards Boone-who she had previously spoken to before along with his Shannon, who Ruby thought she got on well with-She couldn't help but interfere, feeling obliged to try and ressolve the issues-bedside manner behaviour maybe? Or just plain snooping ?She didn't care what it was, this couldn't go on all night.
'How does it feel to be top of everyone's most hated list?'
"That's low, even for you Sawyer" Ruby said desperately trying to keep herself calm "Dr. Shepard and Boone both tried to save Joanna this morning, I might not of been there at the time. But I don't recall hearing anything about you trying to help! Then again that's not your style is it?" Ruby could feel herself heating up with anger, she looked over at Boone, hoping he'd be OK. He seemed to be the person who had talked to Joanna the most, and he was the first to try and save her. He must of felt bad enough, without Sawyer rubbing salt into the wounds.
ROSE
She understood RUby tried to calm the situation but felt her method would only cause more petty squabbles
"Oh please guys, just stop this!" she moaned, more as a cplea for someone to help out than anything else."

((OOC: Wow, y'all are makin' a really big deal of a throwaway line here. )) SAWYER "That's low, even for you Sawyer. Dr. Shepard and Boone both tried to save Joanna this morning, I might not of been there at the time. But I don't recall hearing anything about you trying to help! Then again that's not your style is it?""I been all kinds o' helpful, sweetcheeks," he said, stepping closer and looking down at her. Having had enough of being harassed by petite British and American women for one day. "Just so happens my assistance comes at a reasonable price." He glanced over at the older African-American woman and the goth princess. "Y'all wanna' hold hands and sing 'Kumbaya' round the campfire, be my guest. But I got better things to do," he stated, and continued walking back toward his shelter.

ROSE
"Y'all wanna' hold hands and sing 'Kumbaya' round the campfire, be my guest. But I got better things to do,"
Rose just looked up at Sawyer, she pitied him. More disappointed than angry. She clutched the ring around her neck rightly still praying in her head.
"You shouldn't mock faith, you may find it's the only think you have on this island."
Rose didn;t want to stick around for a sarcastic response from Sawyer and leaft the group, slowly walking away with her dignity. Unlike Sawyer.
RUBY
"I been all kinds o' helpful, sweetcheeks," "Just so happens my assistance comes at a reasonable price."
She watches as Rose walked away, Rose may of been the grown up in all this but RUby wouldn't let Sawyer bully his way round the island.
She took a big step back from Sawyer who seemed to loom closer towards, her, feeling threatened and uncomfortable. She looked up at him like she did once before to the man eho thought he'd get hsi own way. But this time she decided to do something about it.
"Don't sweetcheeks me, Sawyer I know all about your 'prices'. I've met men like you, there's a word for it...Scum, Pig, Bullies...Would you like me to continue?" she said looking up at him "Boone is ten thousand times the man you'll ever be , Why can't you just be like him or Doctor Shepard?? Or do you find it tough learning non sarcastic lines and words with more than one syllable?" she looked up at him, regretting wha tshe said, afterall Sawyer probably wouldn't know what a syllable was.

SAWYER
"Well, seems you got me all figured out," he smirked. "Island's already got its share of wannabe saints, princess. When you're ready to step down off that pedestal and walk among us lowly sinners, you let me know. It's a heckuva lot more fun down here." He walked past her, hoping that was the end of it.

"G"
Popping his head in, he looked at Sawyer briefly. G was not exactly a fan of tension. He was always trying to break that. This man had the same reflex he did--he dealt with things by joking, nicknames, using humor to distance himself. They were connected and yet different. A layer cake--not a marble cake. There was a layer of delicious frosting between them still.
"I think Billy Joel wrote a song about tha," he blurted out.

BOONE ((OOC: Wow Sawyer's getting tortured already? )) "Taking my place at the top of everyone's most hated list."Boone looked back at Sawyer with a look of anger, but also calmness. Boone just ignored Sawyer and looked back out at the ocean. "Everyone doesn't hate you." He looked up to see Heidi, who he was slightly acquainted with, holding a cup of water. Boone was about to turn away and continue to sulk, but it wouldn't do him any good, plus it would definitely be seen as rude. He let out a slight smile, he tried hard to make it as big as he could, but he just wasn't in the mood to be grinning. He slowly took the water from her hands. He decided not to drink it right away. He faced Heidi with his eye looking at the ground. His bottom lip was curled back, resting on his teeth, and his eyebrows curled up with his eyes wide open. He looked up at her, "Thank you," he said in a way that made it sound like he was thanking her for more then the water. The look on Boone's face didn't change until he began to nod a little and then lower his head again. JACK "It's good to have you back, doctor,"Jack looked over to see Gwen. She carried on past him, but Jack slowed down and eventually stopped. He smiled as he looked around the camp, but the smile faded quickly as he thought about all the events that had occurred that day. Jack stood still for a while before letting out a sigh as he headed towards one of the fires to sit down. He sat silently in front of one of the fires. It was odd, but it almost felt good to be back, despite the fact that they were still trapped on the island. He was deep in thought, until he noticed half a water bottle in the corner of his eye. He looked at the cup first and then instantly at Kate. He smiled. He gently took the cup out of her hands. "Thanks." He slowly lifted the cup up to his lips, and almost instantly drank the water. He didn't really notice how thirsty he was until now.

Taliya
Taliya shook her head at what Sawyer's response had been. It had been emotionless and almost automatic, as if it required no think. She scowled slightly at the Elvira comment. However, she'd been surprised by the response from others. Taliya smiled sympathetically at Boone.
"You were just doing what you thought was right," she told him. "People may be making a big deal out of this, but if they'd been in the same situation, I guarantee you they would have done the same...they just don't know it yet."

"Oh, put a sock in it, Piano Man," he snarled as he quickly strode past.

SHANNON
People were probably assuming that she was in on Boone's plan, but the truth was she didn't know anything about it. It's likely he wouldn't have trusted her with his secret anyway. But his actions didn't surprise her at all. Take the initiative, save the damsel in distress--it's what he did. She'd seen him do the same for her enough times.
She managed to sweet-talk Hurley into giving her an extra cup of water, telling him that it was for Walt's dog. But when she walked over to where Boone had decided to go introspective and self-pitying, she found several other women around him. Great. For every person that had wanted to stone him, there had sprung up a gullible girl that wanted to console him. Same old friggin' martyr act.
She huffed and turned to the nearest guy, pleasant-enough looking with short brown hair and lips that seem to hide a perpetual smirk. "You want some water?" she asked curtly.

"G"
"Oh, put a sock in it, Piano Man," he snarled as he quickly strode past.
G wore a quiet smirk on his face as he watched the anti-social southern walk away. For the briefest of moments he wondered what had happened to the other half of his layer cake to make him so tart. Like lemon cake. He missed cake. Very much. It had only been a few days, surely he'd be able to have cake again.
It was, however, his birthday, which is why he had started talking to people in the first place. Somehow, it hadn't managed to come up yet. It didn't matter. No one here cared about birthdays right now. Though he would have liked a cake. Marble cake. With ic....
You want some water?"
"Why... I am a little parched," he said with a grin, taking the water. "Thank you."
He smiled. The woman looked like she needed a smile.

((OOC: Wow, yah, way too many people jumping to Boone's defense and attacking Sawyer. Remember people, Sawyer is very intimidating and at times, downright scary. Most people just stayed away from him and ignored what he said rather than just getting all up in his face. Let's try to stay more realistic to the show. Gweny, you handled that very well. Mucho impressed. ;D))
KATE
Kate sat down next to Jack waiting a couple seconds for him to drink before asking, "So, where were you today, Jack?"
HEIDI
BOONE - "Thank you."
The way he spoke his 'thank you' portrayed that it was not just for the water but for what I'd said. "Anytime," I said sincerely. I could hear a few people attempting to chastise Sawyer for what he said. Like that was going to have any effect. If anything, they were just getting themselves on his shit list and that was one very bad place to be judging by his complete disregard for the wellbeing of anyone. If they ever needed anything from his stash, their prices had just gone up.
Another lady, one I haven't met yet, also offered some kind words to Boone. Speaking of, he looked as if he wanted some time alone. "I think I'll go for a walk. I'll leave you to your thoughts," I said as I stood up and headed toward the shore.

"Why... I am a little parched. Thank you."
"You're welcome," she muttered, handing over the cup and yet keeping her eyes focused on Boone. She shook her head. "It's just like my brother to completely screw up and gain a fan club out of it."

"G"
He took a sip of water and looked at Shannon and then to the man she identified as her brother. Wisdom told him to stay out of sibling rivalries... but her legs told another story.
"Everyone loves a screw up," he said. "Like Gilligan."

RUBY
She watched as Sawyer exited, hopefully it would be the last time she'd have to listen to him. He was itmidating yes, but he couldn't go round the way he did, Ruby felt it was job to take him down a peg. She ignored his fina lwords and watched him leave.
She looked aorund to find Shannon, who she had not gotten to speak tp too, in a while, despite being on the same sialnd. She also noticed G who seemed to be talking to her. She decided to approoach the two.
"Shannon, long time no see, how are things your way?...Apart from the Boone stuff of course" she asked hoping Shannon wouldn't go on about Boone as he already looked depressed enough

"Apart from being stranded on a freaky island, getting eaten alive by sand fleas, and being given a couple of ounces of water a day to drink...things are just peachy," she replied with an ironic smile. "What were you all doing in the jungle yesterday, anyway?" Boone had returned earlier than the rest of the group, but he still hadn't told her where they'd gone or what they were looking for. At least it didn't sound like they'd run into any more polar bears.

RUBY
Unsure what to say Ruby looked around, she checked to see where Gwen was, she didn't want to sya anything incase it was the wrong thng to do. Which it usually was -Gwen was the Ying and she was the Yang. So she though it'd be better to say nothing, afterall, she was good firends with Shannon but she still didn't knwo her that well. She doesn't have to know everything.
"Oh well Boone just went back to tell everyone we were alright, hand then all this has happened, when you get the chance tell him that I said thanks for everything-he should know what I mean" she said referring to the incident where Boone snd Ruby were grouped with Walter after the other three waltzed off together- "He really helped me keep things together out there, Sorry for strutting off liek that Shan .Anyway that's enough about me" she said immediately changing converation "Last time I saw you was when we were sat on the beach and James came along, remember?" she aske "Also this guy called Raymond a friend of Gwen, he wanted some people to help out with the laundry sometime. I helped him out for a bit and he asked if you might want to join. It will give us something to do but I dunno it depends on what you want to do" she said with a grumble as she said Gwen's name.
