"There are dead people on fire."
"So?" he shrugged. "Just a memorial, y'know, it's...a way of showing respect."

Shuddering slightly, she moved closer to Hamilton and avoided looking at the flames.

"Hey, Cy," I said, not realizing I'd shortened his name as I was distracted by watching the people get ready for the memorial. It was a habit of mine to start calling people I was comfortable with by some nickname. "I'm glad she's okay, even though she got a bit bitchy with me," I said with a slight grin.
The memorial started so I turned my attention to a very pregnant lady who was speaking. I felt so sad for the victims and their families and at the same time, I tried to keep myself detached as I never liked to cry in front of anybody. I didn't like to cry, period.
KATE
Kate listened, feeling such sadness for the losses. She was reminded of the losses in her life; her mother who died fearing her, Tom, who'd still be alive if it wasn't for her. Such inner turmoil and yet her outward appearance only showed a respectful look of sorrow.

"Did she now? Well, I shouldn't of been so damn nice if she got all ornery towards my angel undercover." he replied, smiling at her. "And who are these lovely people?"

~Jinx~
Jinx smiled and turned around, but tried to be as Quiet as she could. "Jinx, its a pleasure to meet you...Cy is it? or is it short for something? hard to tell when your Stage name is Jinx and all." She smiled, Sarah pulled on Jinx's Pants and coughed. Jinx laughed and picked the small girl up.
~Sarah~
"I'm sarah and this is Mr. Floppers." she smiled.

"Cyrus. Pleased to meet you, Jinxy." he said with a smile and a nod.
"I'm sarah and this is Mr. Floppers."
He got down on his knee, grinning. "Well, my name is Cyrus, sweetie. Nice to meet you, and Mr Floppers here."

Second part: CLAIRE
"Emmanuel Rafael Ortiz, Los Angeles. Turned 32 just last week. Must have had children. " She continued after taking a brief pause to look at everyone.
" Video store receipt lists overdue charges for "Willy Wonka" and "The Little Princess." " Claire sniffed. Tears nearly entering her eyes.
"Looks like he, uh, hadn't traveled much, as far as I can tell from his passport."
"Wollstein, Harold. Seat 23-C.."
Claire continued to read out the names until she got to the last few.
"Ruth, age 32. She was coming back from a vacation."
"Meg Lynette-Missing" She stopped as she approached the end of the list and looked around at everyone.

Vivian watched as the Memorial went on, she thought it was beautiful. But she knew half of these people felt worse, guilty maybe because they made it. Or maybe upset because now they would have to live on this island and most likely starve to death, while the others were no longer suffering. Vivian shook her head, she had to stop analyzing everything. She wasn’t working, she was in the same Situation as everyone here. They all had things to lose, and some more than others. But who was she to judge what was more important, all she could think about was the rescue boat. She be damned if she would get on a plane again. She remembered that day in the hospital when her baby boy was born, it was a Great day. Until they got the news of a second baby, Vivian was so shocked. Her and Kathy never expected more than one child, But there was another complication they would never expect. abclost.proboards40.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=rpgbios&thread=1160516506&page=1

Gwen just stood there with a solemn look of forced repose as Claire read out the names and did her best to make them more than just names. Gwen felt a little guilty that's all they really were to her. Had she provided them with the best in customer service? Had she promptly attended to their requests, eased their fears, smiled at them? She felt her heart sink a little more with each name, wondering if the pain of regret would ease with time. And knowing full well that it didn't.

SCOTT
The blonde boy looked up as he heard a teenage girl crying as she walked past him, but as he looked through the crowd of people gathered, she had gone. He somehow felt obligated to go see what the problem was, if he could help in any way, even though he did not know the girl. He got up from his spot on the sand and followed the direction he had heard the girl's sobbing, wondering what situation he was about to get himself into.
*Scott leaves for G3 - Area of Survivor's Camp*
SAYID
Sayid listened to the pregnant woman read off the names of people who had died and were missing. Like fallen soliders, he thought sadly. Except the difference is, they did not die in combat for their country. They died in a horrible accident in spite of several people surviving. He felt a sudden pang of guilt, wondering if the transciever he was repairing would be able to call for a rescue, so the loved ones of these people who's names were being read would finally know their fate. It was up to him... no, it was up to all of them to get off this island. Not just for those who were alive... but for those who had passed on, too, to honor their memory. That's what a solider would tell him or herself, to keep going, no matter what adversity confronted them.

WALTER
His pipe was all but out, and he frowned. He observed all the people watching from him unique spot, and squinted, trying to make out the faces. He senced something, deep inside, that there was something wrong. Chills ran down his crooken spine and he began to make his way back to the camp. He would have to work to put his finger on what was bothering him about the situation.

~jinx~ Not only did she watch as the Bodies burned but she could smell cooked Flesh, It made her sick. she had to turn away, she didn't know these people. But she felt bad for them, they would never see there families again. Jinx thought about never seeing her family again, that’s where she was headed. They were suppose to arrive days ago, people were probably freaking out at home. Jinx felt like she needed to do something, so as the Fuselage was burning Jinx knew she had to do something. Something she hadn’t done in a long time, she would sing something spiritual. She smiled and stood moving closer to the flames. "I know Death is never easy, and sometimes people can't deal with it. But i think its good that were all here. I decided to sing a song, don't worry nothing from my Album for those of you who know my work..." she smiled and started to sing. Who can say for certain Maybe you're still here I feel you all around me Your memories so clear. Deep in the stillness I can hear you speak You're still an inspiration Can it be That you are mine Forever love And you are watching over me from up above.
Fly me up to where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile to know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are. Are you gently sleeping Here inside my dream And isn't faith believing All power can't be seen.
As my heart holds you Just one beat away I cherish all you gave me everyday 'Cause you are mine Forever love Watching me from up above. And I believe That angels breathe And that love will live on and never leave
Fly me up To where you are Beyond the distant star I wish upon tonight To see you smile If only for awhile To know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are I know you're there A breath away's not far To where you are…. As jinx was singing she started to remember when she had lost someone so dear to her, and she couldn’t help thing that was why she closed her heart. She lost the one person in her whole life that she loved… abclost.proboards40.com/index.cgi?board=rpgbios&action=display&thread=1156369489 When she Was done singing she sat down, she wondered if she had touched anyone. It had been a while since she had used her voice for church.

KATE
She felt moved by both the memorial and the song. It was strange, she thought as she used her sleeve to wipe away a couple of tears, to be crying over people you never knew and probably never would have known existed if not for the crash.
HEIDI
I was able to keep my eyes dry throughout the memorial. But when Jinx started singing the song originally sung by one of my favorite singers, Josh Groban, it was so moving that I could feel the tears burning at the back of my throat and my vision began to blur. I turned my face toward the ground and closed my eyes, concentrating on disconnecting myself, quietly taking in a deep breath and letting it out slowly. When I felt I had control of my emotions again, I looked back up through clear eyes.

~Sarah~
Sarah smiled and wiped a tear, she wasn't crying because she was sad. She was because jinx was finally showing who she really was. Everyone sarah knew said Jinx was a sellout, but sarah didn't believe that.
Sarah looked up and smiled at Heidi. "That was pretty, did you like it?"

Jemima looked up and felt her heart beat. Meg-missing? She knew she couldn't find Meg but hearing her name made it feel all so real. Too real. She felt a lump in her throat and her breathing was obscured by uncontrolled tears forming. But then a young woman began to talk. She sang and in a way it soothed Jemima. She wiped her eyes and listened to the beautiful singing. She tried to remain calm.

Gwen listened intently when Jinx stepped up and began to sing. It wasn't just the quality of her voice, but the sense of loss and emotion that it conveyed. Only a day ago, Jinx was just another spoiled, high-maintenance pop star, but now she'd managed to capture all their various emotions in one song.
They would all be changed by this, for better or worse. Most of what she'd seen had been for the better, as strangers pulled together to help one another through their shared uncertainty and fear. Gwen reminded herself not to be so bloody judgmental as she sniffed and wiped a tear from her eye.

He glanced over at Heidi, and then carefully put his arm around her shoulders, just hugging her slightly in a purely platonic attempt to comfort her, his eyes drifting to her face instead of the burning flames.

~jinx~
When she was done, she stepped down and headed to the water's edge. she could no longer look at the burning or smell the bodies or think about it even more. she stood and walked long letting the water run up her feet.
