“SHHH!” his tone is too harsh, he knows, but he motions for the other to stop where they are and points up. “look!” a few feet above their heads in the tree line, a glowing bird flits from branch to branch, and behind it, the forest seems to shine. “you don’t thinks it’s like... radioactive, do you?” the prospect of surviving on an irradiated island didn’t seem likely to him.

"That was the first plane I'd ever been on... I was always too scared to fly before this... ironic, isn't it?" Sitting on top of her mangled suitcase, back against a tree, Charlie stared at the still smoldering wreckage and gave a deep chested sigh as she cradled her new relocated arm in her lap and tugged her sweater tighter around herself. "I've never spent a night away from home, before..." Voice growing more quiet with each word, her eyes lifted to the sky above them. "Bet there's gunna be so many stars, though..."

he understood. he remembered his first plane ride. his parents had taken him to disneyland, but even the promise of the best place on earth had been overshadowed by the terrifying great distance. his mother had suggested they drive, always quick to coddle her son, but his father had insisted, the plane tickets were already bought. he had kicked and screamed and thrown a fit, but after the initial take off, everything had gone fine. that’s what he had expected this time. the wheels lifted from the tarmac and he had settled into relaxation, only to be thrown into the ocean.

it was when she said she had never spent a night away from home before that he did not understand, usually doing everything in his power to stay out of his parents’ house for long as possible. he followed her eyes up to the sky. “there’s a silver lining to everything, huh?” he couldn’t help but chuckle at her optimism and not in a demeaning way. “who’s waiting for you back home?” he doesn’t know if it’s an insensitive question to ask. it’s good to talk about them, he thinks, keep their spirits up. there was no reason to resign that they would never see them again.

ISAAC’S BELONGINGS .

while he’s usually rather meticulous, for this trip, he packed sloppily, as quickly as he could with no more rhyme or reason to the order things were placed than what he was actually packing. he didn’t pack much, figuring he could restock when he reached his mom’s. but he took some sentimental items with him, knowing he wouldn’t be going back.

ON HIS PERSON:

baggy cargo jeans and a washed out graphic tee

less than great condition combat boots

cd player he was listening to when the plane went down

fake id

PACKED AWAY:

pot. i mean, the number one thing he takes almost anywhere. it’s not an infinite supply, of course, but enough to get him through the stress of realizing his current situation.

bare minimum in clothing, a few pairs of pants and couple more shirts, though extras such as underwear or socks, he’s sorely lacking in.

a couple photos of family and friends

his pokemon card collection, which was very small, really just a collection of his favorites more than an actual playing deck.

his favorite blanket

isaac was collecting. he had never been a thief and didn’t plan to change that: the supplies would be sorted amongst survivors as needed. he had just gotten it in his head to start gathering everything first. it was no trouble for him, really, and he wasn’t going to be able to relax until he found his own bag. what he had in there, however, wasn’t being shared. when he saw a cheerleader standing on the beach, he started to wonder if he was having some crazy ptsd hallucination. but no, he decided there was nothing post about this trauma, it was all current.

“hey,” he called out, waving an arm so the other would see him if they couldn’t hear him from this distance. he started over to her, surprised to find someone else out here so close to the crash. “we started up a... camp of sorts inland a bit. everyone’s gathering over there. do you need any medical attention?”

athenahowards​:

athena felt as though they were in shock and may well have been. when her head moved it was like her vision took a precious few seconds to catch u. as if everything was in stop motion. was this a concussion? she was hanging limply in the seat, still strapped in from where they'd settled in for a nap. the cocktails with lunch had made than sleepy, was that what was going on with their head? no. slowly and struggling to blink, athena brought one hand up to their face tearing away the oxygen mask from its place around their mouth. it had malfunctioned somehow and something about the altitude or speed or whatever had made it even do so, struggling to catch their breath athena shakily pried her body from their seat before looking around them.

the ocean water lapped roughly at the very beginning of the aircraft cabin, the tip of the plane was either completely gone or it was just disconnected underwater. they couldn't tell. stumbling from the aisle athena pushed a body out of the way, there was no hope for it in the condition it was in. athena gagged as the smell of things burning loomed closer she finally stumbled into the sand, struggling to keep going they muttered,  ''get away from the body, it can still blow. gotta keep moving.'' their steps were reminiscent of a drunken sailor. 

it was chaos. while usually lila would have turned on anyone who so much as stepped in her way, she couldn’t seem to find the anger when someone rammed into her nearly knocking them both over in their rush to get away from the wreck. her hands wrapped around the other person’s biceps as she steadied them both, searching for something else solid to hold onto. she was reluctant to let go of the other, even holding someone else made her feel safer in the moment.

“are you okay?” the question came out moreso as a courtesy, shouted over the noise of the engines and other people’s screaming. lila felt she was asking herself the question as much as the other. “come on, we should get out of here,” she reached her hand out carefully, praying the other would take it.

JESSICA HENWICK // have you seen LILA STENBERG around the crash site? we’re trying to make sure they’re still alive after the crash! according to the manifesto SHE IS a 28 year old CIS FEMALE. i hear they’re known for being an ACTRESS. LILA is also known to be OUTGOING yet also JUDGEMENTAL at times. we have a couple questions for LILA when we find HER, we heard something about a secret they might have? such as SLEEPING WITH PRODUCERS! (cal, 25, mst, she/her)

THE PAST:

a silver spoon in their mouth, people say, and that is most certainly how people would describe lila stenberg. her mother was a successful defense attorney and her father a stunt man for some of the biggest movies being released. she grew up with the upper class of california, but her parents expected her to live a mediocre life. seventeen years was all they asked. finish school and she could pursue any dream she wanted, which they had known from the age of four was acting. she played along, but they made concessions. modeling started at just fifteen years old, for multiple outlet stores, and nothing boosted her ego like knowing her face was out there for all the world to see.

she proved as natural at the mediocre as she did at the extraordinary, excelling in classes and participating in theater, but it was all a show until her life truly began. the day after her 17th birthday, she made her dad take her to her first audition. it never once occurred to her that he might have put in a good word for her, the victory was solely hers. her life soon became a blur of red carpets and flashing cameras.

it was the world she wanted, the world fit into perfectly, right where she belonged. so she never once balked at what was required of her to stay in that world. it began very early on, using her sexuality to secure admiration and roles. she had never been shy about it, and that attracted all kinds of partners, perhaps a few may have been responsible for her casting in a film and what of it? she would do whatever it would take to make sure she was the star she’d always dreamt she could be.

SURVIVIAL SKILLS:

leadership: she’s always been a natural leader, the head of school projects, valedictorian of her class, lead female on set. she’s clear minded, determined, and a problem solver. always so certain of herself, it’s easy for others to follow her as well.

SOCIAL:

she commands the attention of everyone in the room, very comfortable with all eyes on her. she has always been outgoing and excels at making new friendships.

she’s very picky, however, about how she dishes out her own attention and doesn’t let everyone in the room be heard. with an indecipherable meter of who is worthy of her time, it’s hard to say she makes friends with just anybody.

she prefers to get her way, and will swear a personal vendetta against you if you get in the way of that.

FILMOGRAPHY:

she starred in a lot of indie films and supporting roles until she got her first big break as juilet in romeo and juliet (1996), she auditioned for padme amidala in the phantom menace (1999) but was cast as sabe. she was flying to australia in connection to new zealand to film scenes as arwen in the lord of the rings: fellowship of the ring (2001).

(TW: WEED/SHROOMS MENTION)

DEVON BOSTICK // have you seen ISAAC HAGEN around the crash site? we’re trying to make sure they’re still alive after the crash! according to the manifesto HE IS a 27 year old CIS MALE. i hear they’re known for being a POT DEALER. ISAAC is also known to be PERCEPTIVE yet also FACETIOUS at times. we have a couple questions for ISAAC when we find HIM, we heard something about a secret they might have? such as RUNNING FROM LAW ENFORCEMENT! (cal, 25, mst, she/her)

THE PAST:

first born son to a perfect little cookie cutter family, they lived in a beautiful house on the cul de sac where all day the children would play. he was their parents only child and, as such, was devoted all of their attention. money was spent on sports and music and tutoring, anything to get their one shot at absolution the very best chance. he learned that very early on, that it was not simply out of love for him that they pushed him so hard, but a chance at reliving life, a better life than the disappointing cliche that they had become. regardless, the potential in the child was absolutely limitless.

but children grow into teens and develop an ire for their parents, a keen eye for all their faults. and thus he entered his moody adolescence, with a sudden distaste for everything they wanted him to do, plans that had been made by a naive child. he gave his parents more hell than they ever deserved, showing up on the doorstep with the cops more than once. in time, his father grew to resent the boy, just and he did his father, but his mother never faltered in her love, or perhaps hope that he would one day grow up to win a nobel prize. this eventually led to their divorce.

awful as it is to say it, he liked it better with his father gone. with his mother, there wasn’t much need to be rebellious, he could get away with murder in her eyes. and when her boyfriend came along, he’d already grown out of that phase, to a much more, shall we say, chill phase. when she told him they were moving to australia, she invited him along, basically begged him to come, but he knew he needed this. that this had to be it, the final stepping stone to being his own person. that went well for about 6 months before he heard law enforcement was asking around about him. he’d never moved so fast, purchasing a ticket to australia the next day, even under a false identity to be safe. he would show up on his mother’s doorstep and her arms would wrap around him and he’d be safe again.

SURVIVIAL SKILLS:

gardening: nature had always been a large part of Isaac’s life, his mother had even kept a garden. granted, not a straight to kitchen produce garden, but some lovely flower bushes she’d always tended with such care. truth be told, he didn’t really get into “gardening” until he started cultivating, but they’re really one and the same. he’s even dabbled in growing shrooms before.

SOCIAL:

he’s definitely an extrovert, usually the life of any party, and a goofball who can crack a joke about almost anything

he’s a bit more more emotional than most people expect men to be, and very expressive of his own emotions, which he is quick to.

he grew up close to his mother and takes after her, with a more nurturing nature.
