Stranded

And even staring at the face of death we refuse to show weakness

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

That’s the self-hatred inducing optimism cloaked pessimism I love so much.

Your camp is North from here.

Anya

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

Aye, a story like that really makes a lass wanna put out.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

I am full of great stories babe,

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

I don’t know about you, but I’m hoping to die before then. The gimp never lasts long in situations like this.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

That's not true. Martin lasted two years before the snake got him.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

[He mimics her] Oi, love, do you need a little patching up? I have the first aid kit. And what do you call that, love?

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

I said I had found the first aid kit and offered it to you. I never offered to patch you up. Maybe I will just go throw it into the ocean.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

But the best times come from getting too fooked up.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

You can't have a good time if you are laying face first in a pile of puke.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

Our chances of survival are slim, so you should really be doing something more valuable with your time then playing nurse.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

I wasn't playing nurse, was just trying to help. Last fucking time I try to do anything nice for anyone.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

I’m not blind, not completely, at least.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

Whatever, not my problem if you can't find your way back. By the way you should tell your group when the rainy season hits, most of that side of the island floods.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

That’s why the arangement is going to be hard for me. What’s your name anyway?

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

Anya. You living on the side of the beach? Ha, good luck. What you can't find your way back to your camp, blind or something?

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

We got a saying in Belfast, "Castles were built a stone at a time." 

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

The only say we had in Witchita was "Try not to get too fucked up."

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

My tribe’s back- Yeah, okay, that’s going to be a problem for me. I thought I was on the beach.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

You are far from the beach, Sid.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

The name’s Sasha, and I don’t believe last names are pertinent in a situation like this, love.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

Whatever. Names Julie.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

You sound like my mom. [He murmurs something in ojibwe] Is your next trick going to be telling me that I have to do what’s best for the tribe? Because that would just be rich.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

You wish. If I catch you near my territory again I will kill you. I worked hard setting up traps and camp in this area and I'm not having anyone ruin it for me. Tell that to your tribe.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

Your left eyebrow twitches slightly upward when you lie.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

Who the hell are you anyways?

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

What’s a kid like you doing running around here anyway, shouldn’t you be off with your mum and dad?

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

They're dead.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

Cheeky, lad, but you gotta wait at least one more day. This is only our second date.

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

I hate waiting. Is there a fast forward button.

[dirtbagjesus-deactivated2014103]

Oh great, on the bright side, it’s not like we’ll be stuck here for a long time, left to fend for ourselves. I fucking hate this place already. Fuck!

[lostandalmostforgotten-blog]

You will learn. I did.
