[[Haha I have never played a gay character. It would be interesting if I tried. We could totally have a love triangle going on! Hm... What do you guys think?]]
I stood in complete and utter shock. My mind felt like it could easily drift into a blank state. I wonder... If I stop trying to stay alive, will my injuries consume me? If I fall asleep on the beach once more, will I too lay dead like the bodies before me? These thoughts might of sounded like I was quitting and giving up on hope, but that isn't the case. I am just thinking of the possibilities that could happen if I lose hope, or if I stopped trying. However, I am too weak, I have to much fear in my heart to give up. Though I know I have nothing to live for. A scream pierced through my thoughts and anchored me to the sand. I could have sworn my heart just stopped. I felt like a puppet as my legs fell from under me. My knees came in contact with the rough sand as the gold grains flew up and stuck to my tattered silk dress. My knees burned with irritation and my hands flew up to cover my ears as my dark eyes widened. I was now hunched over and feeling the burn of a wound that had reopened somewhere on my body. My body was too numb for me to pin point where the wound was, and I felt as I was shaking vigorously. Fear was poisoning my heart as the thoughts that had consumed my mind earlier were reappearing. Living in a sorrowful environmental since my father has passed away must have finally gotten to me. Tears streamed down my face though I didn't feel like I was crying: my breath wasn't shaking and there wasn't a lump in my throat. However, only sorrowful thoughts flooded my mind. This wasn't like me to be sad and to give into fear. I figure, I must really be in shock, or the stinging pain I feel must be getting to me.

((Heck yeah! Joseph will definitely be apart of it XD))
I wondered around the beach. My legs were getting weaker every step of the way. Why did this have to happen to me? What did I ever do? Well besides that time I played those pranks on the guests, but I have to say, that was pretty funny. Ok, so I haven't been the perfect little boy, but I didn't deserve this. I was about to give up looking when I saw a young girl crying. She looked about my age, so I went to comfort her. I sat next to her and forced out a small smile. "Hey, crying won't get you any where." I tried my best to comfort her. I wasn't that good at comforting people, let alone talking to them. I looked out into the light blue horizon that separated the sky and the ocean. Were we ever going to get out of here? It had only been a few hours and I was ready to throw a tantrum.
Still day one, -Joseph

I had seen a couple people up ahead but I had no idea if they were dangerous or not. I decided to approach them caustiously. Yu never know if people are going to get crazy when they are stranded so i brought a big stick along with me just in case. I then went up to the one standing and tapped on his shoulder with my finger. I waved and said "Hello." I didnt even know if he could speak english but what if he was part Italian like me? Should I have used Italian instead or was that good enough. It looked like he understood but i still wasnt sure though. As i waited for the boy to respond i took a look at my surroundings and saw some fruit high up in a tree far away. I would get it later tough right now it could be good to meet some people on this loney journey ahead.
Still day 1. I dont know if i can handle it myself~ Capri

[[Awesome! Well Aaron will be my guinea pig, so excuse any weird or strange things that he may do in the future. Oh and Sly, who is Capri talking to? Aaron or Joseph? I will edit this post with posts for Aaron and Rue once Sly responds ^^]]
This temporary crutch wont suffice for much longer. I can feel body getting weaker and more fatigue. Oh how sleep would be bliss right now, however, the goal I have set for myself is still unfinished. I still have yet to find one survivor!
Although, my luck starts to change as I hear faint voices in the distance. I can feel my face crack into a huge smile. The voices of survivors, no, the voices of hope! "Well this morning has been just splendid!" I mumbled under my breath, with no sarcasm intended. It really has been a great morning. I know my grandmother is safe and sound, I have woke up in paradise and on top of all that, I now have motivation to continue exploring my curiosities. Even though there has been many horrible things that have happened in this early morning, for some reason, only the bright side of things appeal to me!
As I start to limp painfully over to where I hear the voices, I notice that they are a good 50 yards away. I heaved a heavy sigh and started to begin my journey over to civilization with the first aid kit still in my clutch and the make-shift crutch (or more like walking stick) dragging me along. In fact, to make matters worse, the sand, as soft and beautiful as it may be, was making the simple walk into a hike. My body already ached from being in the crash, but the work out I was receiving wasn't helping at all. "Grammy told me I should start building up my muscles." I mumbled again. I chuckled at the memory, but my pained ex[injection]pression wasn't allowing humor at the moment.
I was close enough now that if I spoke up they could hear me. However, I was curious as to why the girl that was hunched over here earlier was now a few feet down the beach. Maybe they said something? I wondered. "Why is that girl over there now?" I said as cheerful as I could manage, still in pain. I was now leaning up against the beach stick awkwardly looking out to where the strange girl sat. Then I turned my attention towards the other two who looked like they were getting acquainted and said "So anyone need a first aid kit?" I held it out straight in front of me and gave a huge smile.
I might have found survivors but my goal still isn't completed. There has to be more survivors, right? Aaron
~.~.~
My breath caught in my chest as I heard a voice above me. I wondered if this voice was trying to soothe me or was making fun of me, but either way, I wasn't staying long enough to find out. Even as this stranger found a spot beside me I was already to my feet. My hands now dangled to my sides after wiping away tears quickly. I knew that my face was red, I already felt the blood rushing to my cheeks as his voice caressed my ears. I noticed a smile on his face which just brought a scowl to mine. "I wasn't crying!" I hissed under my breath. And after my words filled the silent air between us, another person walked up out of no where carrying a large stick. She said hello to the boy that was sitting on the sand and then studied her surroundings as he studied the ocean. How pathetic I thought as I watched them looked anywhere else then at each other. And like I said before, I didn't intend on staying long. Especially not long enough to observe this conversation. I started walking towards the ocean to get away from these people, hoping my face would cool down from the shock and embarrassment of his words. However, my hopes weren't fulfilled. If anything, things just started to get worse. I was feeling light headed and dizzy, so I gracefully sat down in the sand that had irritated my knees earlier. I didn't have to look behind me to know another person had approached the gathering a few feet up the beach. The voice of the newcomer was surprisingly cheerful and energetic which made me quite irritated. I brought my keens up to my chest and dug my head between the gap between my knees and my chest and then put my hands up to my ears once more. I just needed time to process everything and think about my options and how I should act towards these strangers. It seemed as if these people might be the only survivors, so I would have to live with them for a while until we get rescued, right? So if maybe if I- My thoughts were uninterrupted by the agonizing pain and a dull throbbing coming from the right side of my head. I assumed I just had a concussion, but once I brought myself to notice what I have been feeling in my right hand, my heart stopped again. I slowly brought my hand down in front of my face. A crimson liquid covered the palm of my hand, it was unmistakably blood.
I have no words to describe how I am feeling at the moment. ~Rue

I could have sworn I felt the presence of another besides the boy I was talking to. I turned my head and saw a boy on the sand staring at me. I was amazed to see there were more survivors around. Interrupting the boy I then ran over to the other person. He looked hurt so I tryed to help him up but I could realize I might have just caused him pain instead. "I cant believe there's more people around!" I exclaimed to them both. My mind raced though. What was going to happen now? And were we ever getting off the desserted island? I just pushed those thoughts aside for now and focused to what i had now- two new friends. I bent down and help the hurt one with his wound. "Im Capri by the way." I said to them both.
Meeting friends at a time like this could be very helpful and less lonely. Still day 1~ CAPRI

"I'm Joseph." I replied as Capri helped the other boy out with his wounds. I couldn't help, but stare at him for a second. I cleared my throat and kneeled over next to Capri To see what I could do. I honestly didn't have many words to speak. The other girl obviously didn't want to talk to me, though I guess I could have said something better. Maybe I could stick around these two? They seemed pretty decent, besides, what else was I going to do? I most definitely didn't want to be alone. "I guess I'll go get some food." I shrugged and eyed some fruit up in one of the trees. I reached into my pocket and smiled. I still had my pocket knife with me, Thank god. I threw it cutting the stem between the branch and fruit. "I still got it." I chuckled and retrieved my knife and the fruit. I walked back over to Capri and the boy and shared the fruit. "So you never told us you name." He looked at the boy.
Was I really capable of making friends? -Joseph

I was amazed at the boy who had cut down the fruit in a snap. "Incrediblie!" I shouted in my Italian language. I didnt know if he understood but it was pretty easy to understand what it meant in english. I then wrapped some medical wrap around the other boy's wound. "It should be healing in no time." I said then stood up to the boy who had cut down the fruit. "You are god with the knife. We can survive perfectly if we keep up like this." I had said to the others. I then helped myself to s piece of fruit and ate it happily as it satisfied my hunger.Friends will always be there in the worse of times to help you out.~CAPRI(( Capri talks in an Italian accent just to tell ya guys))

(( I think I read through enough of it to catch the gist of what is going on, but tell me if this is horrible and out of context, cause I can change it. ))
Sudden pain shoots through my leg. I grasp at it and give a small yelp in pain, though I am quick to recover. Weakness is my worst enemy. I have to keep going, keep blood pumping through my veins, or I will not survive. I brush off some sand that is still clinging to my surprisingly in tact pants, and kept on walking, blocking out all but a little bit of the dreadful pain. I don't block all of it out to remind myself of it, but it isn't to awful.
I walk up to the water and splash some in my face. It is salty, and it stings a little bit, but the cooling sensation is worth it. I see another girl sitting along the water, her head in her knees. I figure she wants to be left alone, but hey, I have to meet someone. I don't even have to talk to her. Just seeing a human is enough to fill my heart with complete joy.
I grab another piece of fabric from the plane and walk over to where she is. I don't attempt to talk to her, I just sit about two yards away, carefully wrapping a couple cuts on my arm with the fabric I have just picked up off the plane. If she wants to talk to me, she can talk to me. I need not to attempt to talk to her.
I see blood seeping through the fabric, and I tighten it even more. I eventually see the blood flow slowing, so I tie the fabric there, not daring tighten it more and loose the use of my arm completely. I swing my arm a little, trying to adjust it to the bandage, and it seems fine. I can start to feel blood start going back into my brain, and I start thinking more clearly.
Maybe I can survive day one after all.

[[Haha, it is alright Mega. I am pretty sure I will suck at rping Aaron through this whole rp. However, I hope you don't mind me attempting to make Aaron a little gay/bi. If for any reason, anyone is uncomfortable with this, please let me know and I will take him out or change his orientation. And what you have written isn't horrible :3]]
The next thing I know, the girl, who has introduced herself as Capri, starts to tend to my wound. I released a laugh before her touch on my wound strips it from me. "Silly," I say to the both of them, my jaw clenched in pain but my voice playful as ever. Just seeing these strangers start to worry about my welfare made me feel joyful. "I asked if you guys needed the first aid kit. We can take care of my injuries once we take care of yours. " But by the time I actually had time to say that, the girl had wrapped my knee with the contents of the first aid kit and the boy had already gotten food.
They were talking and I was half listening. I couldn't help but looked out to the ocean where the other girl was. I was surprised to see a new survivor as well. They sat near each other, but didn't look like they had interacted yet. Still, I thought to myself. only time will solve everyone's problems. So for now, I decided my goal was completed and I would approach these two later. Maybe when the Joseph, Capri and I have gotten more acquainted.
I looked back at the two who have been kind and friendly to me. My leg was in pain from the sudden bounding Capri put it in. My motto was that only the fresh air could lick ones wound clean, but anyhow, I was still grateful that these people were helping me. The pain started to dull as I sank into the cushions of the sand. "Thank you Capri for helping me, and thank you Joseph for getting food! Now if you don't mind, I am going to rest here for a while." A bright smile was on my face as I lounged back on one of my hands as the other messed around with my golden locks. "I am Aaron, pleased to meet you Capri! And you too Joseph!".
Aaron
~.~.~
I stared at the crimson on my hands in horror. This has been the first time in a long time since I have bled. I had almost forgotten what blood had looked and felt like, and this was an unpleasant reminder. My shock to my injury had made me fail to notice a boy who took a seat a few feet away from me. However, even if I did notice at the time, I wouldn't mind, as long as he kept his distance. My obliviousness shot down my guard and allowed hushed words to flow out of my chapped lips. "Now what should I do? Clean it right?" I didn't know how to take care of a wound, especially one that my eyes cant observe. I never had to take care of something so wretched before, so there was no point in learning. My first thoughts were to clean it and seal it away. However, the lack of access to materials made my plan a little harder. "Maybe I can just stick my head in the water? Its only the ocean, how much harm could that do?" I breathed. I also lacked the knowledge of what an ocean really was. All I knew was that it was a vast body of water. I turned my face to observe the commotion that was happening further up the beach. All of them seemed to be fawning over one another and already taking a step towards survival mode. I still wasn't in that mind set. I still had a aching hope that we were all going to get rescued some time today. However, aside from my hopes and dreams, I noticed that they weren't looking at me. No one is taking interest in me. Perfect. I thought, though somewhere deep inside me, I ached with loneliness. I turned back to the ocean. "Well here I go." I stood up (still oblivious to the newest survivor beside me) and made my way closer to the water. I was hesitant to take a step into the chill water, but with a caution step in, it welcomed me. The water danced around my ankles and a smile started to pull at the corners of my mouth. I was somewhat proud of myself for a reason unclear to me. With a deep breath, I then knelt in the water. My dress was now swimming on the surface. With another deep breath, I dipped my head in the water. My hands were bracing my weight on the ocean floor and once again I found myself hunched over. Although I didn't stay in that position for very long. The wound located in my ear started to burn. I quickly flicked my head back. Water splashing as I scurried out of the ocean. I was biting my lip, trying to hold back the pain and the scream. Confusion filled my mind. If that was water, then why didn't it feel like water?! I thought fiercely in my mind as tears were kept captive in my eyes. My hands were pressed hard against my right ear as I tried to stop the pain. Only then did I see the new comer. Once the fog of pain and confusion was recognized, I saw the boy. My face instantly turned bright pink as my embarrassment and stupidity flooded over me. My dark eyes widened as I just stood there curious as to what he may do. ~This pain will be the death of me, Rue

(( I don't mind at all. He can have a crush on Kyle for all I care. Kyle just won't like him back, 'cause I fail epically at rping gay/bi characters. ))
I look at the girl next to me. She seemed to have taken quite a swim, and judging by the way her ear was throbbing, she didn't know what salt water was. I look her way as calmly and as coolly as I can, not wanting to give off any signs of amusement. It isn't funny anyways, I would have done the same thing if I hadn't been living on the ocean for a few years.
It's an ocean. It has salt in the water, and salt burns when put it on cuts and scrapes. I can help you treat it if you would like. Your ear, that is.
I keep looking at her, studying her features. She is sopping wet, so I am sure she would be more pleasant dry, but her face isn't ugly in the slightest. I don't really care for looks or love, seeing as I have never been in one place long enough to think about the subject, but I know someone probably would have liked her back where she is from. Wherever that may be.
I'm Kyle by the way.
Can I really make an attempt at being social?

I was still frozen, unsure what to do. I wasn't good at being social or taking and I usually offended people when I did. So, when this boy, Kyle he said his name was, offered his help, I was not sure if I should take it or not. My first instinct was to walk away and give him an unpleasant look, however, my throbbing ear said otherwise. Reluctantly I started to slowly walk over to him, my eyes glued to the ground. I couldn't believe that I was about to take him up on his offer. I walked over to Kyle with caution and then sat arms length away from him and looked up, my black eyes staring into his purple ones, "Your help would be appreciated " I said softly, allowing him to help me. My hands slowly came down from my stinging ear, and once again crimson stained my hands. "Oh, and I am Rue." I breathed under my breath. I was unsure if he heard me, but that didn't really matter at the moment. As long as he could make the pain go away, I would be forever in his debt.
~I am unsure what I will do when he is done helping me, though, Rue

I finger the strip of cloth that I had extra from the plane as the girl walks over to me. It is the perfect size for her ear, and it is thick enough to stop it from bleeding to severely. I stop fingering it for a moment as she says her name.
Rue? I knew a girl named Rue in France, though I can tell you aren't her. It's a beautiful name.
I say it wistfully, dreaming of one of the only times I had had my feet planted on one piece of ground for more than a year. I had almost started to make friends when off we moved again. I know I should have known better, but it is just so tempting to make friends. So tempting not to be alone for once in my life...
I shake off my revery and remember the task at hand.
This might sting a little at first, but once it stops the bleeding it will feel substantially better, I promise.
I reach up and start to wrap her ear. It seems to be starting to heal itself already, but the cloth will definitely help nature along. I tighten the fabric to where it chokes off the bleeding. When I can no longer see dark crimson trying to poke through the light blue piece of fabric, I know that I am successful. I smile at a job well done.
Now, Rue, I don't know about you, but I think that to survive you need fresh water, food, and shelter. If you would like, you can help me search for the first one. I'd go alone, but you are always safer in the wild when with someone.
I hope I'm not being a complete idiot in trusting a stranger.

I bit my lip and closed my eyes as he approached my ear with blue fabric. He warned that it might hurt a bit, so I sucked in a deep breath waiting for a worse pain to make my body tense, but no such thing came. A slight stinging burned my ear, then all of a sudden the pain was dulled. I could still hear a faint ringing of pain, but it wasn't as bad as earlier. "Thanks." I said softly. This was for both the compliment and the help.And when he spoke I grew quiet. My eyes were staring at the grains of sand sparking in the climbing sun. I brought my hand up to my sopping wet hair and shook water out as I combed it back to its regular position I then pondered on my answer on accompanying him. I thought in silence for a while thinking about my options. He had a point; it was safer to go with someone than to go alone. I knew he would go with or without me, so it was probably the right thing to go with him. However, why should I care for his safety? What was he to me than just another useless stranger? Strangers. I am so tired of having strangers in my life... but dose that mean I want to make friends? Was it better to have friends than foes? In the situation I am in, having foes doesn't sound like the safest thing in the world. There will be no way I could survive without help. "I will go." I said quietly, standing up. I decided to go with him, but I wasn't sure if I was doing it for my sake or his sake. I have never realized how cruel and selfish I was. Deep inside me I knew I was actually going with him to survive. If I was back home at a stupid gathering, my mom had suddenly thrown, I would never have went with anyone anywhere, but now that my life depended on it... I had no other choice. ~However, I want to know more about this Rue girl. Is it a coincidence that I am from France too and we have the same name? I have always been bad with names, but did I know a Kyle at one point in my life? Rue

I smiled when Rue told me she would come with me. She might not be a ton of help, but it really is safer with two than with only yourself.
I look at the other group of people, and wonder if I should invite them to come with us. I decide not to. It would be safer, yes, but I won't sacrifice my safety for my sanity, and being with so many people is a little... much for me.
I look off to the forest in search for any area that looks lusher and greener than the others. The greener the area, the more likely there is fresh water nearby. I spot what looks like an area that is greener than the others, and start to walk towards it. I check over my shoulder to make sure Rue follows.
I think there might be water in this direction. Unless you have a better idea, I think we should go this way.
I wonder if she'll follow me.

[[Phew. Done with my pre-cal homework!]]
Kyle scanned the forest line as I studied his figure from behind. He didn't see, too muscular, which wasn't bad, and one of his arms looked wounded. I couldn't tell how bad his injury was, but I was beginning to question my safety. I don't know why, but I feel as if I am putting my life in his hands when we venture into the unknown. That may seem a little extreme, but this whole situation has really thrown me off. When Kyle spoke once more and glanced at me from behind his shoulder, my eyes instantly dropped to the ground and I could feel my cheeks getting warm again. I only nodded and caught up to him; walking an arms length away from his side. As we started to walk to the appointed area, the question about this other Rue starts to get to me. It couldn't be a coincidence, could it? My voice was weak when I spoke "This Rue from France you mentioned earlier, who was she?" ~Rue |

I stop dead in my tracks. I suppose I should have suspected that Rue would ask about the other Rue I knew, but it is such a touchy subject that I hardly talk about it.
To understand this, you have to first know that my parents are merchants, and we travel a lot. We almost never stay in one place for more than a month.
We were in France for about a year and a half. I generally never have time to make friends, but in France I met a girl named Rue. She and I gradually became friends about two months before I left. One day I came home, and my parents had already packed my bags. They told me we were leaving in a hour. I never saw Rue again, and I never even got to say goodbye to one of the only friends I ever had the chance to make.
Anyway, Rue was really nice, and extremely cautious about making friends. We were pretty good friends back before I had to leave, I just wish I could have given her some sort of a warning.
I realize I have stopped walking, and start to trudge through the forest again. I am extremely upset, not only at having to tell the story but having to relive the heartbreak that my parents put me through that day. I know I should be grateful that my parents were rich, but sometimes it is so stupid that every time I make a friend, I get whisked away from them. In Ukraine, Columbia, France, it doesn't matter, I make a friend and I leave. Simple as that.
Reminiscing is horrible.
~Kyle
