"Makes sense. If anyone wants to volunteer to stay at the base instead of venturing off into the jungle on the mysterious island?" he asked, looking around at the assembled survivors. He reached a hand into his pocket and pulled out a pill bottle, dumping several of them into his hand before tossing them in his mouth. "I'll go with the water teams, obviously. Still don't know what's out there."

"I'll go with Coben" Stella said hastily. It wasn't that she didn't trust the newcomers, she just...didn't trust the new comers. Carefully, she returned her hairbrush into her suitcase.
Vee wondered about going it staying or going. She wanted to help and know this place if it ever came to an emergency. "I'll go " she tells them. She looks around wondering who would like to go with her. She didn't think Clair would be a good choice since she was scared easily. She didn't know about the other two, which were guys. Caleb seemed like a good choice since he knows a couple of things like surviving, just like how she taught her about the berries. would he want to go with me?
"I volenter to stay here" Clare said looking at the plane, sure it didn't look that safe, but... she sure didn't want to go looking for water in the forest. There could be quick sand, or dangerous animals, or even worse.
((no one liners please! (: ))
Caleb nods to Vee when she says hello. "Hey," he replies. Then he listens to the others speak. Caleb shrugs.
"I don't mind going either. Nothing else to do here. And I don't feel like dehydrating today." He says. Caleb stands again and walks closer to the others. Before stopping and crossing his arms again waiting for their next move.
((sorry I haven't been active for a while, school has started again for me.))
"Me and Stella in one group then." Coben said. He pointed to Caleb and Vee in turn "You two in the other. Best case scenario we find a decent sized cave next to a source of fresh water, but at this point I'd be happy with just the water." a thought crossed his mind and his left hand moved toward the pistol houlstered on his right side. He hesitated for a moment, his hand clenching into a fist momentarily, before he pulled it out of its houlster, turned it parallel to the groun and spun it around on his palm. Now he held it out, grip first, towards Caleb. "Take Marly with you, just in case. No safety, so watch yourself." he said. "Don't know if you've used one before but just point and squeeze the trigger". He was hesitant to give up one of his weapons, especially to someone he barely knew, but they were in this together.
yay! vee was glad he was with him. It wasn't because she liked him, because she didn't, but because he wasn't crazy like the gun guy who really isn't crazy. Vee didn't have a crush in him at all. She didn't plan on having an affair at all after her bad break up. Plus who would think about that in a situation like this. He also know a couple of things about surviving. But her eyes slightly wides at the gun. She didn't like the thought of being close to one. But maybe it would come one hand. Vee moves towards Caleb and spoke to the group. "When are supposed to come back?"
Caleb nods to the guy as he takes the gun carefully an holds it in his hand. He smiles when the guy tells him how to shoot. "Sounds good. Oh and thanks for the lesson." He tells him. However Caleb knows how to aim and fire a gun. He and his friend went to shooting ranges an went out hunting plenty of times.
Caleb glanced at Vee out of the corner of his eye noticing she moved closer to him. However he shrugged it off and turned back to the others.
((Um... Who's supposed to post now?))
((Denver or Erin I think))
((Sorry! First day of school today!))
((Lucky. Ours started weeks ago))
((I start tomorrow))
((Mine starts after tomorrow... And I'm happy school is here))
((I assume everyone's been busy with school stuff?))
((I am but I'm still on))
((Well probably not me since I was the last one to post.))
((Yah and i was second last))
((and I was third))
((So Kaley, Denver and Erin need to post, when they get the chance.))
((Well keenly hasn't really been active much in this rp))
((I'm sorry guys I've just had last minute vacation plus school has been hectic.))
Brian watched them still not really paying attention to what they were talking it about. His thoughts played like a movie through his head. Though the one thought that stuck out the most was the question of where his sister was. He sat down in the sand and turned the events of the crash over and over. His eyes clouded and guilt rose up again.

His eyes clouded and guilt rose up again.
This is just like a movie, who would've thought this could be real? Clare looked back at the flamming plane, Definetly not me.
((Should we just skip Denver's post for now since she's the only one?))
((Ok))
"Everybody be back by dark." he picked up a bag off of the beach and held it up. "Each person take one of these with you, so if you find food while you're out you can bring it back. Whoever's staying here keep an eye out for boats. Make a signal fire if you see one. Preferably make three in a triangle formation. Don't bother with planes: this far out they'll just be commercial jets that won't be able to see you anyway."
Caleb nodded listening to the guy speak. He seemed to know what he was doing so Caleb would obviously listen to him. Why not? They haven't got anything else to lose really. They were stuck on a damn island in the middle of the ocean for crying out loud. Caleb took a step and grabbed a bag and slung it over his shoulder. And glanced around at the others.
"Well I guess we should head off then. Gives us more time to search, the earlier we leave." He says.
Vee just nods. Hopefully things will go great for them today. He looks at Caleb who took the bag and said "maybe it would be a lucky day " she says before she starts to walk towards the trees where she could hear bird cries from with in. please don't let us come across some wild animal, she seems to beg in her head.
jim appeared from the forest his metal spear in hand and proceeded to the wreckage of the main cabin. not paying attention to the group of people gathered togehter planning to get supplies. he got to the aircraft and looked for a way to get into the cargo hold.
"Excuse me." Coben said. His arms once again crossed to put his right hand on the grip of his holstered pistol. "I don't think we've met. I do think you're nosing around our plane. Cqre to introduce yourself?" he wade a sweeping gesture towards the others with his left hand, his right still firmly planted on his sidearm. He might not personally own this plane, but he had claimed it now and he wasn't about to see some random scavenger loot the best supply cache on the island. With a twitch of his head he swung his mask down over his face, just in case the guy wanted to try something.
Jim looked over at the man wearing the mask he shook his head he seen dumber stuff in Afghanistan he continued to look for an opening to get his bag
Coben sighed and drew his CZ-75. There was a soft *click* as he pulled the hammer back and held the weapon in a two handed grip pointing it at the man. He didn't appreciate being ignored. Maybe the guy would listen to rank. "Commander Coben Awlk, Executive Operations, August company. Let me rephrase that. You take nothing from this plane without my approval. So maybe you'd like to have a chat?". He had unconsciously shifted into a combat stance, body angled with his right foot forward to reduce his profile.
"August company" he said with a chuckle he the found an opening and went and grabbed his big duffle bag he wasn't afraid of the man playing soldier
Brian watched silently. What's his problem? We're all stranded here, do why go everyone for themselves or even worse one person dictates everyone else. He thought. Worry was in his eyes, but the rest of his face was stoical.
Vee backed away and closer to Caleb. She didn't eat to be near this problem or even in it. She could see the others not liking it too, like Brian. "Maybe we should leave" she whispers to Caleb who was closes to her, and also her search partner. She made sure their was distance between her and the gun. She was scared of it, like really scared of it.
Coben saw the other's expressions and rolled his eyes, leaning against the plane just next to the opening where the man had gone into the cargon compartment. "Look." he said through partially gritted teeth, his pistol gripped in one hand which hung loosely at his side, "I'm not unreasonable, but there're other people here to think about. All I'm asking is to know what you're taking. He wiped the sweat from his brow with his free hand while he waited for a reply. I thought I was done with this 'nothing you do can hurt me' crap when I stopped training new recruits. he thought to himself.
"You can relax cowboy I'm getting my bags" he said as he brought out his bag that had the words U.S. Marines embroiled on the said he opened it and it had some of his gear he moved some things around and pulled his an hk416 with a mounted scoped and plenty of ammo he also pulled he m-9 pistol and holster and strapped it on to his leg then he pulled out his last side arm his k-bar knife
((Sorry I haven't posted! But I'll post after I get out of school today))
((Its ok. Were all busy))
Caleb laughed. How did these guys get so many weapons onto this plane. He notices Vee take a step closer. Caleb angled his stance so he was between the others and Vee. Then he glanced back at her. "You ready to go? We should leave now." He says trying to distance himself from this situation.
Vee was glad that Caleb blocked the view of the guys. The site of the other guns just made things even worse for her. "Yah lets go" she agrees with him and turns around to walk towards the trees. She tried to think of how these got such things herself. Weren't they not allowed on flights. It was pretty frighting to know that she was on a flight with people that own guns, well at less she was on a flight before it crashed.
Coben saw the others lmturn and leave and he heaved a sigh of defeat. That was it then. They would fracture into smaller groups that would make easy prey for whoever or whatever else was on the island. The other groups would be, anyway. "Marines, huh?" he asked conversationally. "No wonder you're so quick to disregard me. We never get any respect from the 'proper' military types." he shrugged "of course since I make more than ten times your salary and choose my own deployments, I guess I can put up with a little disrespect."
Brian looked up at them and sighed. I'm just overthinking it she'll be perfectly fine, right? Worry plastered over his face now. He knew that it would be safer to stay together, but what would happen if they did separate.
"Salary barely means anything to me" he said as he turned the safety off. "And besides who put you in command" he said with a little irritated tone
