I'm still very much interested/active, I've just been waiting since Elvis and Jackie haven't ran into anyone yet and there's been no post from Jackie's POV since I posted for Elvis
Except I was so close to being finished with my post and then my laptop restarted and apparently my internet messed up and I almost started crying.
Anyways, Guy and I were talking about how A and B are going to meet.
I had an idea. What if Ezzie has a ring that she lost in her little cove, and she goes back to find it, but she finds Chelsea, one of the missing characters. Chelsea is injured, so Ezzie fixes her and gives her a bracelet/watch/something. Then she tells her "stay here while I get more supplies, I'll be right back" pretty much. Chelsea leaves and finds Jackie, Lou, Elvis and whoever else is alive.
Elvis recognizes the bracelet, asks C where she got it. Chelsea tells him "some girl who came and patched me up". With Ezzie, she goes back with another character to find the girl, and i don't know, B is going through the woods as well... They could meet there. Eventually. It might take a few posts?
There's also the idea that they could meet at the village thing...?
Just spitballing.

Aw :'( stupid internet. That happened to me on an English assignment a few weeks ago. I wrote like a whole essay, and then it was gone.
But yeah I've been thinking about that, too. That would be a pretty good plan, we could do that. The only real problem I see with that is that Chelsea, especially in being injured, would have to wander off pretty far, like a few miles, in order to find Group A's people. I don't know how realistic that would be. On another note, I feel like in the upcoming posts, we should have the people in Group A kind of arguing about who's going to move inland to the village, and who's going to stay on the beach. Kinda unrelated to the whole Group A-Group B reunion, but felt like I had to mention it.
But anyway, ideas I have for how they meet up: Lou's raft (after he finishes it) could get caught in a storm and wash up onto Group A's side of the island. This would sort of be a clue that there are other people on the island (besides them and McCarCar ) and then a little later on, Group A and Group B would cross paths on a dark and rainy day. Some NPC will die in Group B (like Kameron or someone) because someone in Group A will think people are coming to kill them and won't see that they are kids like them until they act on impulse and kill them.
Then Ezzie & Elvis will have a really cute and dramatic reunion, same with Chris &Lou and probs Jackie & Chelsea.
I don't know what you guys think about that, but we can get everyone's opinion and go based on that (or we can just wing it).

I do believe that I am going to make a profile for Chelsea, after all, but only because she won't be alive much longer. I am, unfortunately, going to have Chelsea die at some point. During the crash, she was thrown from the pit and she crashed into the side of the plane, then into the ground (obviously.) Chelsea received Closed TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury), which caused her to have difficulties with attention, concentration, impulsiveness, preservation, and speed of processing. She will have problems with speaking, same goes for understanding people, difficulties with interpretation of touch, temperature, movement, limb position and fine discrimination. She basically won't be able to see very well, what with it all impairing her vision, and she will not be able to smell or hear very well, due to her injuries. There's a bunch more symptoms, but I doubt you guys want me to continue to rant about it, so I'll leave it at that.

If you want someone killed, I'd be happy to lend Mark for the job. >.>
What group is he in anyway? I haven't been very active due to being busy, and I haven't read some of the recent posts.
Also, I'm not sure whether to make Mark really responsible for the crash, or have the dream be just a hallucination induced by his blaming himself. The latter would mean that he was the other person, the one who tried to stop the real doer, and that the real doer is still out there (possibly one of your characters if you so wish).
Let me know what you think, I'm cool with making Mark the villain, but I feel like creating conflict between him and the person who really did it would make for a better story. The person could make Mark think it was him and blackmail him, or pretend that they don't know and Mark remembers at some point.
Anyway, I would really appreciate your opinion on this.
Mark's in Group A w/ Chris, Ezzie, Alaska, Saph, those people. I think you're right in that Mark being the better person would influence the story in a more positive manner. If you want, there can be some people accusing Mark of being the instigator for the explosion, and he would have to prove them wrong. That could be a good plot-line for you to work with, if you wanted.
Maybe even make it really dramatic, like have everybody against Mark at first, even have them want to kill/hurt him. And then turn it around somehow. But whatever you would prefer; I'm sure you'll do a great job executing whatever idea you choose to work with.

@Savvy, that is a great idea, thank you for supporting me in this! I was thinking that Mark thinks he is the guy at first, and the people accuse him for some reason I haven't thought of yet. But then the real culprit is revealed to him, and he is shunned by the rest while the psycho tries to kill everyone.
Mark stops them (most likely a he) almost every time, and this fits the plot since we can't have main characters dying. But the characters might even think that Mark is the one attacking them, and accuse him of even more stuff, or try to hurt or kill him, like you said.
I think I can make it work pretty well, but what do you think about this?
McCarCar ... that is amazing! I'm putting that into his profile XD
Dorian, are you the one adding all the spices to our food? Of course I am. Why? Because frankly the food here tastes like poorly cooked sawdust. It genuinely tastes how Solas looks.

Loved the post, @Savvy. I'm going to post tomorrow for Alaska, and hopefully Jackie. After I have Al and Mark talk for a bit, I'll have her hobble off, or something, and go find him. She'll be all distant, of course, because she's still upset with him, but she'll do what she can to cheer him up.
