WALTER
"If they was'n 'fer food, then there'd be no reason to go off inta' the woods with a big ol' hunting knife," Walter said, glancing around. "Besides, you're not going to catch food with a net designed to hold things human sized or larger or with a trip wire... Nah.... this was designed to catch people. This 'ere was designed for protection."

"This threat ain't new," Walter said, flatly. "The rock star and Jack's ex-wife ended up in a net."

WALTER
The old man, grinned, shook his head, and spat on the ground. "I reckon since no one got hurt it's no big deal," he spoke. "But, for the future, remember to keep a keen eye. These things are hidden, but not so bad that you can't see 'em if you know what you're looking for."
He paused, and looked up the tree at Ana.
"When you're done, I have something I'd like to show you, Ana." see

WALTER
The old man walked up to where Ana and Gwen were gathering firewood, and he frowned as he looked up into the trees. "Now ladies, what is the one thing I told you before we split up?"

WALTER
The old man glanced from person to person. He had kept quiet for his own reasons, and was sure to get some flack from Gwen about it later, he figured. Never-the-less, everyone seemed to be calming down, and Walter walked around a little bit.
"I told you damn kids to be careful," Walter said, taking a seat next to Severin and pulling out a waterbottle from his sack. "But you didn't listen, did'ya?" he spoke with a smile. "Listen, I know you think you're the good guy in all this and Ruby is damn annoying, but, well, your record for figuring out what you would need today is a little on her side, don't ya' think?"
And with that Walter stood up.
"Don't say anything, just think about it for now, bucko."
And with that, Walter went after Gwen and Ana, to finally give them a piece of his mind.

WILLO
He was wandering around fairly aimlessly, facing the worst writers block in his life. He spotted Grace and smiled, slowly walking up to her slowly.
"Hey there," he said softly and waved. He looked at her book and then back up at her, a dumbfounded smile on his face.

"Well, have you ever thought about adopting?" Claire asked.
"I'm too busy for a kid I fear," she said, still smiling. "I'm sort of a public figure, and I don't want to subject a kid to the kind of stuff that gets thrown my way."
"I wish I could be as happy as these two look." She said, looking at the pictures. There was also a journal, one that showed the wedding date. Claire wanted to cry for these two. They'd never get their dream wedding. "I'm sure they were the kind of people who never worried about a thing. Why is it that a person like me, with no future plans at all survived the crash, while these two.. Happy, and engaged, didn't? I mean, they had their whole lives ahead of them.."
"Life has a sort of sense of humor about it," she said, without a sence of irony. "Besides, from the look of your belly, you've got all sorts of future plans now. And I'm sure you'll find something that will make you happy. In 1992, when they lit my city on fire, I thought I'd never stop being angry. I yelled and screamed at whoever woiuld listen to me. What I'm saying is, I'm not yelling and screaming right now. You'll find something to make you happy. Hell, that someone might pop out of you in about a month."

She looked at Maxine once again. "Really? I thought big was just.. the baby was really big." She smirked, setting aside more clothes. "And I'm sure you'll end up with a baby, I mean, if you want one." She smiled, "We won't be stuck here forever."
She sighed, looking around. "You know, not many people have come to talk to me." She said, "I think they're all afraid that I'm gonna have the baby at any moment. I mean, I still have a month to go, so unless it's really anxious to get out, I'm sure we'll be rescued by the time I have the baby."
"I think you confused me for someone a bit younger," Maxine said, flashing a smile. "I don't think I'llbe having kids in this lifetime. My sister has kids, and they're all I can handle."
"And I wish I could be as optimistic as you," she said.

MAXINE Claire smiled up at the woman as she began folding. Maxine began to help her, which she was thankful for seeing as there was a lot of clothing there. "You weren't insulting." She said, that sweet smile still remaining on her face. "I know that I look like an overinflated balloon." She smirked slightly, thinking of the sight.
"I guess the baby's just really big.. which isn't going to be that great of a labor." She laughed slightly. The thought actually terrified her, but she didn't let anyone see her fear. She was good at hiding it because she was always making jokes of the pregnancy, trying to brighten the situation.
"I don't want to bug anyone just because I can barely bend over to pick something up." She said about Maxine's comment with getting men to help her. "Once I'm barely able to walk, that's when I'll sit and laze around all day." She smiled once again.
Maxine smiled, and shook her head. "You're something special, that's for sure," she said. "And big is good, from what I understand. Big is healthy. I don't know a lot about babies, isn't really my thing. Always was busy."

She looked up as a woman began speaking to her. As she was finished, Claire smirked a bit. "Well, I mean, I don't feel like I'm about to burst. Sure, I could, but if I can still walk around and do things, I can't sit around and do nothing, y'know?" She set a folded shirt to her side and picked up another article of clothing.
Before she began folding, she stopped. Holding her hand out to the woman, she smiled. "I'm Claire," she told her, "Claire Littleton."
"I never said it was a bad thing, sister," Maxine said with a smile, taking the girls hand in two hands and clasping it. "Maxine Brown. That's why I came over here to help out. You are something, kid. We could use a few more like you these days, that's for sure."
The outspoken woman paused and backtracked. She always spoke her mind, and that tended to get her attention in the outside world. In here, in this close knit a group, the less attention the better. "I didn't mean to be insulting. People take me that way a lot." Maxine resisted the urge to namedrop some of the people she had pissed off, including the first President Bush. "You probably look ready to burst because you're a bit slimmer to begin with."
"Most girls, they'd be scared out of their mine or getting all the brothers to help them out, you know?" she said. She looked down at her feet and then back at Claire.

MAXINE Maxine was a rare breed for those who spent some time in Washington. She was a morning person. It was amazing what could be achieved early in the morning when half of the town was still suffering from a hangover. Especially when you had a reputation for yelling until you got your way.
However, on this island yelling was futile. Logically, Maxine should have been a leader for these people. She had served people in Congress. However, none of these people were from her part of Los Angeles. That was becoming clearer from they acted. Besides, she was used to fighting with whoever was in charge.
This morning, she looked around the camp, doing her best to still hold herself with some class. She made her way over to the pile of clothes where the small blond girl--who was also very pregnant. She smiled as she approached the girl.
"You got a lot of fire sister," she said, as she began to help the girl sort through the clothes. "You look like you're ready to burst any minute, and you're still doing work. I'm sure half the island would do whatever you'd say--and something tells me you know that. You got a lot of fire, that's for sure."

"I knew the second one," he said, and wrote down afterwords, hoping it would help her out. "And I think I can figure out the first one." He smiled and looked at her. He itched his forehead instinctively and got caught staring at her for a minute. He shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck gently. He looked out to the ocean, a large grin on his face still. It was the longest he had smiled in quite some time.

WILLO The young man blushed, he was not used to singing, but could do it on demand. He had sung a kid to bed every night for a few years, and had come quite good at it.
"Well, I'm not very good, but I got my niece to bed every night..." he said, silently wishing he had never spoken a word about his ability to sing. "I suppose I could do a song." For her, he thought, it was worth it. "Let me think of something."
He thought...and came to the one song that came to mind.
Did someone call my name like a distant drum that's beating or is it just aanother dream of long ago
I dance again; I am spinning In the light I am living and I can feel the power rushing through my veins once upon a time I could do no wrong for the candle flickers, the flame is never gone
to my brilliant feat they all pay heed I hear the crowds roar oh so loudly
"Sorry," he said, almost wispering. "I'm not that good at singing I fear." He spoke with a smile as he examined her face.

"You sure?" he wrote, smiling at her. "And I don't think you're overreacting at all. You couldn't hear for fifteen years and then we crash on a plane and five days later you can hear? That's weird."
He smirked and shook his head. "See, I told you I'd get all confused as soon as I started thinking about it. I can't really tell you how to react. I don't know how to react."
He looked down at the paper. "So, what do you want to do while we wait? Is there anything you'd like to hear?"

He used the pen and paper for her benefit and wasn't sure she would understand him either way. He wrote down "It does seem really weird. If you want to see a doctor, I'll take you to Dr. Jack."
"As for taking it better--I guess I was too worried about you to think about it. The more I think about it, the odder it seems." This was exactly why stream of conscience writing was a bad idea. "But don't get worried, I'm sure there's some sort of logic behind it." He handed her the pen and smiled, trying hard to calm her fears.

"Oh my," Willo said, looking shocked. "Uhm... hang on..." he said, running into his tent. He open his bag and pulled out his set of headphones--a nice pair of cans. They wouldn't block all the sound, but it would help. He walked out of the tent and gave them to Grace with a sigh.

Willo looked down at the sand and then at Grace. He shot her an odd look at first, and then looked at her ears. He grabbed his pad, not putting two and two together at first, because, well, he would have no reason to think otherwise. He wrote "are you okay?" and then realizes that her hands were over her ears. "Is something wrong with your ears?" he wrote, and looked at her with a worried look on his face, thinking she had an ear infection or something similar.

Willo emerged from his shelter. He was not a morning person, but the sun on the sand got hot in a hurry, and he was used to sleeping in an air conditioned apartment. The fact of the matter was, he didn't sleep well unless he was a bit cold. He was far too hot. He looked at the sun. Soon, that too would become rough for him. He sighed. He was not meant to live on an island, that was for sure. But maybe he would be safe from the world here. Maybe.
He looked down and sighed. He sat down in front of his shelter, and sighed. Yesterday had been bad.

MASON
Erik had finally set Michael down and he was starting to mend on his own. Shake it off an the like. Mason never played football, but he imagined that it was similar to a football injury, and that he'd be back on his feet in no time. He made his way over to Leia, Heidi and the group with a smug-looking smirk on his face.
"Well, it turns out I was of use after all, even if it was a glorified crutch," he said to anyone who would listen. "Why's everyone looking like they're watching 'Brian's Song'?"

MASON
Erik had just been about to enter the woods when, just a few yards away, Kate and Micheal emerged. He quickly rushed over to the pair, his eyes wide as he took off and pocketed his sunglasses.
"What happened out there?" he made his way over and looked to Michael. "Let me help you guys out."
