I just realized that Liv was still signed in to her account on my computer so I accidentally made my last post in her account, how daft am I? I never log off, so I didn't realize it was the wrong account xD

Oh, that helps, Basil!

I'll post when I get home.

Ok ^^ i'm going to let other people post before I make another post

I'm planning on posting soon, so I'll post after Shine, when we get home.

Okay! I've done a very long post, and I think this might move us in Lilly's direction. @HighTop, if you want anything changed, just say. I think we need some direction in this SB. So, I was thinking, possibly on the agenda:

1. Build a little village of huts, with trail and error. Someone must step up in the next post and show everyone how to build the huts. Any volunteers?

2. Add whatever we need, a little orchard, etc. and get the pigpen up and going. Alex can take care of getting the pigs inside and all that, if he doesn't mind, seeing as he is now a pig-whisperer

3. We can sophisticate all the arts we've been practising, and people can start specialising, e.g. Alex is good with pigs, Elivs can do the best deep spear fishing in the world with his amazing sight, Darren cares for their little "farm" and Lilly communicates with the spirit of the island.

4. I just had this weird idea of someone picking up an orphaned monkey, squirrel or bird and keeping it as a pet? I don't know if anyone wants to try that! XD

5. If anyone then wants to start a family, they're welcome. We can have a great wedding ceremony with roast boar and fruit salad and eggs and fermented berry juice and things!

Okay, now I've shed all my weird ideas on you, you're all welcome to give your own!

Sorry for being so inactive! School is taking more of my time than I thought it would.

I'm fine with that, Runner. I was thinking about having Lilly start a cult, mostly with the NCPs, but somebody else if they're interested.

I really like the ideas! Since Saph will be ... out of action for a while, maybe she can find the orphaned animal (I like birds, so maybe a bird of prey?) and look after it, and maybe the animal could be something significant??
And I'm all for the building of the huts!! But as I've said, Saph's out of action, so she can't do much.

@HighTop, I'm glad you're okay with it! Maybe Lilly could become a sort of religious leader, like a sangoma of the island?

@BasiltheCat, great! Maybe they could have her collect food while they work, as she's not exactly up to heavy lifting, and she finds the bird. Or whatever other scheme you have up your sleeve. How about training it to catch squirrels or something? That would be pretty cool.

Oh yes!! I'll have Saph wondering around getting food!!
But I have one question, and then I'll be able to whip up something awesome!! ^^
Anyway, I want the bird to be a bird of prey, like an eagle or kite or something, but I'm not sure if you have an specific species of bird on the island, @barefootrunner, so if you don't have any suggestions, I'm going to make the baby bird a Brahminy Kite if that's alright with you.

It's b-beautiful! Go ahead

Haha!! Thanks!!
What should I name him??

Anything you want! These look quite nice:

I know they're more hawkish, but some could work. Or you can try an English name.

Also, I mentioned a small monkey before, so that's an option, too! (For Ezzie, of course. She could train it to help with First-Aid) And as for the idea about practicing their arts, Ezzie can take care of people, seeing as her parents were doctors, and pushed that idea on her for the short time she lived with them.

Haha! Thanks for the names!! I'll name the kite Lashay!

And Saph is good with making traps, hunting and stuff like that because she camped with some Australian Aboriginals for a bit, so she's pretty good at that sort of stuff. She can teach people how to make traps, and also how to walk quietly through the jungle. She's also good at tracking, and she can help with the cooking. In my next post I'll have Saph find the kite fledgling, and then maybe suggest teaching a couple of people how to make traps and stuff like that? So yeah, that's ... my two bits' worth
