Day Summaries

[Paul]

Hiya,

I have volunteered myself to begin writing up day summaries in order to make it easier for everyone to figure out what's going on after long absences or in regards to parts of the island where one might not have any characters. I know for a fact that when I first appeared around here, it was sometimes difficult to figure out what all was transpiring between various characters in order to situate myself properly.

So, for the sake of clarity, I'll be doing these up. If anyone wishes to help out, I'd been more than happy for the help. The format will simply be a quick summary with a concluding scene that stood out near the end of a day which sums up the tone for the following day. A bit like the season re-cap episodes that usually come before a season finale.

My blithering done with, summaries will be posted below as I get time to scribble them up.

Day 4- Tail Section

The survivors wake to a new day but the problems of the prior one still linger with them- namely the appearance of The Others. Kyle hypothesizes that there might be an informant for their new enemies amongst their number and confides this in Aaron.

Kyle decides that the survivors need new sources of food and water than what they have from the wreckage that crashed on the beach. He volunteers himself to go into the jungle to look for such items and bring them back. He hands over his weapon- a pistol that he was able to bring onto the flight as a police officer- to Compeyson who is uncomfortable with the authority being given to him.

The weather turns ugly and everyone on the beach is quickly recruited to building basic shelters to keep the survivors dry from the rainstorm.

Kyle arrives back onto the beach with papayas, but he is badly hurt and his fellow survivors quickly attend to his wounds as best they can. At roughly the same time, a strange man stumbles onto the beach yelling incoherently and calling himself “Paul”.

People on the beach begin to panic. Who is this Paul? Is he one of The Others? Some like Aaron take immediate suspicion, others like Etana are not sure what to think. So the survivors leave Paul to tend to his own wounds- which he claims came from a boar and his flight from the animal- while they debate what to do. They, at first, decide upon holding a trial with Compeyson, Goodwin, Fox and Kyle as the jury. But, in the end, the survivors opt for a more informal approach- with individuals asking Paul questions. But they decide to leave the questioning for the next day.

The day ends with Aaron giving Paul a warning of sorts:

He lobbed the ball at Paul, walking over and looking at him with a curious eye.

"My name is Aaron Brooks. I'm a psychologist. At least I was four days ago. Don't talk. Just listen. That baseball is special. It was supposed to be fore my son. Three weeks before he was due a man came and killed my wife in a parking lot. A week and a half later, he was dead."

He paused, looked down. He took a step closer to Paul, his body language was well selected- relaxed, but he seemed ready to jump at any time.

"The other day a couple of children were stolen from this camp in the middle of the night. So if this seems a little harsh, I'm sorry. But we're all getting treated very harsh."

He took the baseball back from Paul and whispered to him. "If you are who I think you are, go home and don't come back."

He threw the baseball in the air and caught it.

"Have a good night."
