Creatures Caves

Welcome to the second installment of Message in a Bottle!

This also marks the first time someone has been voted off the island, and the unlucky player this week is Lisha777. Aww, that's too bad. It sounds like she had a pretty cozy home set up for herself and her baby, and I liked reading about her escapades with the monkeys! Better luck next time, Lisha!

C-Rex has also had an encounter with a bear, and was forced to give up his shelter in order to avoid it. (Whose bright idea was it to release a bunch of bears on the island, anyways?) Fortunately he survived unscathed, and his journal reveals that he now has a rather ambitious goal in mind: it seems there is treasure buried somewhere on the island. Hmm...

Deskman is still complaining. I guess I'd be complaining too if I had lost my fishing rod and my shelter collapsed (though at least it wasn't a bear that drove him out). I hear he was considering hunting bear at one point--although those plans seem to have changed rather quickly once he encountered one for reals. Gee. [ntongue]

I'd be cautious if I were Deskman; just because a Norn can do it, may not mean a Grendel can do it better. Grendel vs. Bear is a fight I definitely wouldn't want to see.

GrayDragonEmily has just been fishing and chilling on her own, and reminiscing (still) about her Shee master. Methinks the island vacation may be good for her independence, although a little socialization might be good too. Why not hang out with Deskman a bit? I'm sure he could use the companionship of another Grendel.

Although she was one of the latest arrivals, Jessica has the longest journal by far. However she also seems to have had quite a lot going on in her neck of the woods, from discovering a new species of levitating reptile to escaping a nest full of Norn-eating baby birds. I'm just glad that momma bird didn't show up while she was there. Let's hope she teaches her babies to eat something else before they start flying!

From what I understand Layla nearly incinerated herself in an accident involving some shaving cream. Erm... yeah. Fortunately she survived, though perhaps with a new phobia or two. Cheer up, Layla--I've never heard of a Norn who shaved, so it may be a very long time before you have to face your fears.

Mip seems to have flipped out for a while, but she's back to normal now. Or at least it seems like she is. I'd keep an eye on that one, frankly.

Pirate-Rob has been up to no good and has been playing pranks on the other contestants. Tsk tsk. I saw you push that poor Norn into the pond. You'd better hope Jessica doesn't read your journal, little Ettin. Or who knows, you may find yourself taking an unexpected dip...

Like some of the other contestants, Rain seems to have slackened off a bit during the recent sunny weather, though given her previous activity it's no surprise that she would need to take a breather. I also hear she's planning a part of some sort? Maybe that will help some of the shyer players come out and socialize a little, and take their minds off of this marshmallow addiction that seems to be affecting some of them.

Ylukyun perhaps has the most ambition of all, having built an actual resort! Business seems to be slow, however. Possibly this has something to do with the dearth of gadgets and marshmallows on the island, or the terrifying guard dog--erm, pig--patrolling outside. If Ylukyun isn't willing to leave his resort, perhaps a little advertising is in order?
