Ship-wrecked RP! Please keep all charries human and non-magical. The plot: We are all ship-wrecked on a tropical island. Survival is essential. There are no character limits, but when I start, no more charries please. You may have up to two charries. Please also include a bag of supplies in your character form.
A little background: All of us are aboard the ship Raven. A storm has set in and we are running low on food with little water. The storm has raged for eight days. Now land has been sighted, and we have been wrecked on the rocks. We will start the story in the water; swimming.

All these people, laughing, talking, grieving, introducing themselves. All kids. All trapped on this forsaken island where we will have to stay forever.
When some of the others leave, I leave too. I'm supposed to be with them, but I'll be back later. Besides, we need someone who has a good grasp of the island. Remembering and mapping out, that's my specialty.
I find a few mango trees, coconut trees, a few banana trees, and it's obvious there are wild animals here too. I also find a small waterfall that I take a few drinks of- Shipwrecked- The Essential Guide says that watefall water is fine to drink.
When the sun starts to set, I head back, the island well sketched out in my mind and a bit of each fruit carried along.

That next morning I search around a little bit and find some coconut trees. I crack them open and put the coconut milk in a bottle I found on the beach. I cook the meat and has I do so, I start scratching out a plan for a boat. A raft with two long sticks and a sack will work for the younger ones, but I'M making a boat. I'm thinking a row boat- of sorts. I go searching around the island some more and find a strange plant that repels water. I collect a good deal of it. I then start looking for some way to get hard, sturdy, shapable wood.

~Queen Elizabeth, I just realized that we are using two of my brother's names :)
Samuel~
When night arrives, I volunteer to sleep outside the hut. It is so small that not everyone can fit inside. Jeremy Lee is keeping guard with Thomas (This makes me think of the "Making Camp" paragraphs in a ski lodge), and I curl up in the damp sand, wrapping the still-wet blanket around me. I am so cold that I have trouble falling asleep, but finally, I drift away. I wake up in the middle of the night, shivering. The guards must have switched during the night; Cristopher is nearly asleep beside me, his head against the wall of our hut. I can just make out Maya a little way down the sand, tracing her fingers in the sand. I am so cold, and the wet blanket isn't helping.
"Maya!" I whisper, kicking off the blanket and shivering. Maya looks startled, her brown eyes flashing around. I crawl on my elbows towards her. I feel cold, sandy, salty and wet all over. The waves washing onto shore feel so calming and alive. As I sit by her, she says nothing. Her brown hair floats on a light breeze, and she stares at the ocean. I sit too, listening, looking. All the sudden I feel the tears burst from my eyes and flow down my cheeks. Mama, Papa, Jean Anne, Francis, Ruby... They are gone. You are alone. I cough, and taste more seawater. Maya looks uncertain, but then she points toward something way out in the sea. For a moment, all I can do is sob before I understand what she is pointing towards. It is a wispy cloud with a pinkish-orange color.
"Look, the sun is rising," she says very softly. My breath is wobbly as I slow my crying.
"I-I... It is going to be a beautiful sunrise," I murmer, slowly crawling back to the hut. I curl up beside Christopher, and lay there until morning.

I crack my eyes open, it's morning. Early morning though. Things were happening so fast, yet so slow. Considering it had only been one day, though it felt like a thousand years. I look at the sleeping lumps still in the hut. Jermey Lee, Thomas, Angel, and Maddy. I debated going back to sleep, though I know I couldn't. I would just just toss and turn and wake everybody else up. I stretch and tiptoe outside. Cristohper is against the hut keeping gaurd, then Maya, and Samuel were watching the gorgeous sunset. I start to walk along the beach for a bit, until I noticed my shoes. I laugh, "Your just like me, huh?" I take it off and race back to the hut. I place it down near the opening. "So what are the plans for today Cristopher?" When no reply came, I chuckled. He must have fallen asleep. I tuned back to the Samuel. I noticed him shivering, like the Engizerbunny. We are going to need more rooms. So I decide to go get material for a new hut, we were going to need it. Why start late, when you can start early? I knew where they got the material, because I helped a little bit yesterday. With one final stretch, I headed to go get some material.

Thomas~
I open my eyes but quickly shut them again from the sudden light. After a few minutes of rapid blinking my eyes finally adjust. I sit up quietly and make my way through the maze of bodies, my feet landing on delicate flowers. I exit out onto the cool, soft sand and dig my toes into it. I stare at the gorgeous sunset for a bit then start jogging. I used to jog every morning back home.I even jogged on the ship!
I stare up at the big tree with a grin. I found a much better home for us!! All i'd have to do was make a way to get up of some sort. The large canopy would mostly provide protection from the rain and we could sleep on the large branches. "Hmm..." I pull out my hunting knife and carve into the tree. The bark is suprisingly thick, so when i cut a peice off it makes a perfect step. I grin and run back to camp to tell the others.

I AM SO SORRY!!!!! I have been very busy: making meals, planning birthday parties, etc. My parents have said no every time I've asked.
Jeremy Lee~
I'm pretty badly shaken up after the wolf attack. The sight of the wolf's blood makes me feel slightly light headed. I get back to the shelter and look at the floor in disgust. The girls notice my look and start giggling. I look at Samuel and roll my eyes. Grabbing a armload of flowers I walk out side to dispose of them. My eyes fall to a small ridge on a hill. I start back in surprise, but then go closer. By squinting I can see a person, framed against the green and black of the mountain. Then it dissapears. I glance around. No one else noticed it. I decide not to tell anyone yet, we were worried enough as it was. In the fading light I look again, but I see nothing. That night I voleenteer for first watch, just in case. I saw nothing. At the end of my watch I might of asked to stay up the second watch, if I haden't almost fallen asleep on the first. I flop onto the ground, and instintly sleep. The next time my eyes open it is very early. Pale light filters into the room through chinks in the wall.

PLANNING BIRTHDAY PARTIES!!!! yeah! See you at 1:00 this will be short...
Samuel~
Once we are all awake, Jeremy Lee and Cristopher walk off in search of food. Jeremy Lee looks rather reluctant to go, but he consents anyway. No sooner had they left when Thomas ran to the hut with arms waving.
"I have found a new place to build our shelter!" He calls.

Thomas~
We all stand in front of the tree. Even Jeremy Lee and Christopher. I finished carving steps and we all climb up to explore. The branches are huge, i mean huge. They all come together at the trunk and form a large bowl looking thing. "It's perfect!!" Christopher exclaims.
"Just some padding and it is great! The tree provides cover and the...area...will be perfect!!" Samuel announces.

Jeremy Lee~
A treehouse! I can't help grinning. This is just like the "Swiss Family Robinson". With a jolt I remember something, a faint memory. My older brother and I sit on his top bunk, reading about a treehouse. I felt so little kidish, so happy and now I'll probobly never see him again. I must've tripped because Samuel catches me. I blink back tears and clear my head. "Thanks," I murmer, "memories."
