Well, hey there, you crazy island-bound kids. This is your old pal Hoban Washburne, pilot extraordinaire of the Firefly-class ship
Serenity, here to give you the scoop on what happened in Day 1 of the LOST RPG. There’s a lotta’ stuff goin’ on; I mean, I thought we had it bad out here in the black, but you guys…
Ai ya…
Anyway, Oceanic Flight 815 lost a primary buffer panel or something on its way from Sydney to Los Angeles and before you could say “Oh, God! Oh,God! We’re all gonna’ die!”, the survivors found themselves on a tropical island.

F4 – Inside the Hatch, Swan Station“System Failure, System Failure”…red hieroglyphics on the timer—grrr! A bejumpsuited Scottish guy with long chestnut locks frantically tries to push the Execute button on the computer.
D3 – Danielle’s Dugout“Where is Alex? Donde esta Alex? Wo ist Alex? And by the way, will someone please fix my musicbox?”
G4 – Jungle Outskirts Near FuselageEthan is almost hit by a falling plane chair while gathering fruit. He moves toward the plane crash and sees a throng of potential victims. Er, I mean, friends. “Score” thinks Ethan.
Jack wakes up surrounded by bamboo and counts to five. “How much vodka did I drink?” thinks Jack, and then stumbles toward the wreckage on the beach.
Mr. Floppers hangs on a tree branch, missing little Sarah.
Later on, Kate gives Jack some medical attention. *nudge nudge wink wink* No, really, she sews up a wound on his side.
Little Sarah goes on Operation Find Mr. Floppers and gets herself lost.
Nameless, while swinging from tree to tree, manages to fall at Grace’s feet and they have a failure to communicate. Does that qualify as a meet-cute?
Fuselage (Buckle up for this one…)Jasmine, aka “Jinx,” found herself impaled on a tree branch. The most serious tree branch impalement until Jake comes along.
Little Sarah hid in the fuselage.
Boone gives CPR to an unconscious Rose (and all the ladies went “Me next!”).
Charlie wakes up from a very bad trip.
Kate finds herself handcuff-less. “Woot!” thinks Kate.
Poor deaf Grace mourns the death of her aunt.
Jack ran around saving a lot of people, including a pregnant Claire.
Gwen wished she’d studied the training manual more closely but does her best to help.
Brittany tried to stand and her ankle said “Oh, no, you don’t.”
Sawyer had a smoke and generally looked badass.
Krystal screamed. Shannon screamed. A lot.
Ethan worried that he might be in over his head. Then he met Heidi. “Score again!” thinks Ethan.
Gwen met Sayid as he reset a passenger’s fractured leg. “Cor, blimey!” thinks Gwen.
Ethan met Gwen, and together they treated Brittany’s ankle.
Krystal formulated a plan to borrow Gwen’s flight attendant uniform, apply make-up, and…I’m pretty sure there was something else. Oh, yeah, help the wounded people all around her.
An anonymous extra got sucked into the still-spinning engine. Boom, crash, bang, lots of explosions.
Gwen spoke in sign language to Grace.
Severin got a hug from little Sarah, then stitched up Jinx’s stomach wound with pink string. Very fashionable.
Jack took over CPR duties from Boone and sent him looking for pens (and all the ladies went “I’ve got a pen!”).
An exhausted Gwen collapsed into Ethan’s arms. “And score again!” thinks Ethan.
Ana-Lucia woke up in the water and was saved by Severin.
Shannon found a new issue of
Cosmo among the wreckage, which will occupy her for hours.
Molly helped Jan, a German man with a sprained ankle.
Ethan and Sayid help Gwen retrieve the food trolleys from the fuselage and bring them to the camp.
The survivors gradually wander up the beach and away from the fuselage.
Severin and Ana try to deal with the dead.
GRR, ARGHH!! MONSTER NOISES!!Walt runs into the jungle to find his dog Vincent. Michael yells “Waaaaaalt!” Get used to it, folks; he’ll be doing that a lot.
F3 – Area of Survivor’s CampHeidi went off to treat her head wound.
Sawyer nearly tripped over Brittany, and Brittany was resistant to his charms and called him an asshole.
Shannon gave herself a pedicure.
Gwen asked for volunteers to gather firewood for the bonfires. Dr. Arzt, Molly and others answer the call.
Boone offered Shannon some chocolate, and she refused. She’s watching her figure, and she’s waiting for the rescue boats.
Jinx insisted on searching for little Sarah, thus sending Ethan, Gwen and Sayid into the jungle.
Jemima missed her adoptive mother Meg and hugged her toy bear, and managed to trip up Molly.
Heidi brought a French-speaking little Sarah back to the camp, leaving her in Jinx’s care.
Sun and Jin talked amongst themselves.
Heidi and Brittany discussed
Gilligan’s Island and Cap’n Jack Sparrow.
GRR, ARGHH!! MONSTER NOISES!!Molly told Jemima she could do her brooding on the beach.
Rose stared out at the ocean, clutching her wedding ring and missing her husband who was in the tail section of the plane.
Natalie went emo, reminded of her dead twin sister.
Jack asked Gwen to go on the trek to cockpit the next day, and she agreed.
F3 – Jungle OutskirtsHeidi treated her head wound and had a flashback that made us all go “OMG, you poor thing!”
G3 – Survivor’s CampJack tries to treat the Marshal, who has a severe case of a huge piece of shrapnel in his stomach. Kate asks after the Marshal without revealing who he is or her relationship to him.
Jack plays with a toy plane and tries to figure out the details of the crash, suggesting a trip to find the transceiver.
In the glow of firelight, Kate introduces herself to Jack and vice versa (and all the Jate shippers go “Aww!”)
