Rapiers and Rocketships

[Paxus Asclepius]

"All da trees are on fire. Dat's prob'ly a pretty good signal ta anybody wit' dere peepers open. An' what happened to all da water and sharks we was supposed to be drownin in?"

"I don't know if there are any planes close enough to spot us, and even if there were, fire alone isn't a sure enough sign. Perhaps this island we've landed on has some inhabitants? We might at least try looking; if we're going to be here more than a day or two, we'll need food and shelter."

After exiting the plane, LeeAnn quickly looks over everyone's wounds and appologizes for not having the proper supplies bandages everyone the best she can.

Sinead throws herself into the grass and just enjoys being alive while she watches the plane burn.

"Um, shouldn't we move farther away if it's going to explode?"

 

[Tars Tarkus]

A towering plume of black smoke rises into the air from the burning plane. A group of about 15 people rest in the grass about 50 yards away. LeeAnn breaks open the first aid kit that she took from the plane and beings tending the wounded. There are several broken bones, cuts, and concussions to be treated. Several people are in shock.

After a few moments, you take in the area around you. You seem to be in a grassy clearing about the size of two football fields. It is ringed by a jungle with tall tropical trees. Giant ferns and other strange plants mingle with tall trees with dark brown wood. The calls of exotic birds, inscets, frogs, and "monkeys?" fill the air. The air itself has a strange earthy smell to it. It is very fresh and invigorating.

"The only radio we had stopped working before we hit the ground." A look of grief passes over Ben's face as he remembers Willy's smashed body. "... Um... Sorry... The same goes for the flares, and any other supplies that might have been on board. But, more positively, we're on a reasonably well travelled fight path, and it won't take long for us to be reported missing.

"I can't imagine it'll be more than three or four days before someone finds us. The crash site will be highly visible from the air, even once the fires have gone out. None of the islands we might be on are all that large, so I think we should try to find a town or some other settlement. Once the search party finds the plane, they should look for the nearest inhabited area and start looking for survivors there."

 

[Radiant]

While she lays in the grass Sineads eyes wander over the trees and she listens to the sounds around them.
So that's how tropical islands look then. Not bad, I bet you never have to worry about freezing in the winter here.

Tom looks around at the jungle and complete lack of tall buildings.
"Can't be much in da way of burgs in dis place. Dis place is so unsettled it looks like Delaware."
He claps Roland enthusiastically on the shoulder.
"Perfesser, which one a these trees you t'ink's got coconuts?"

"Sounds like a good idea. You've got the best brush-clearing tool, so you should take the lead." Roland speaks loudly but calmy, to the entire group. "Everyone ready to head out?"

 

[dream66_]

"I'm ready, everyone is reasonable bandaged up but some people really need to be gone over more closely as soon as we hit civilization.
