[the communicator flickers onto Sif's face, which settles into satisfied lines. she figured it out, this enchanted metal device, so now she can go back to what she was doing -- which is wrapping her free arm around a tree and casually hauling it out of the ground]

If we are to follow the whims of our captors -- which I'm of two minds on, myself -- we should at least begin by figuring out who is best-suited for what. [briskly]

So go on. [she drops the tree, also casually, and then goes to tear out another. she's not sure how much wood they'll need] I require knowledge of how many are here, and what skills you possess. We will want someone with knowledge of plants to forage, and someone with skill at fishing. We will need a source of fresh water, and likely vessels fashioned to carry and hold our supplies in. Those with strength or skill at construction who can put together the shelters, and those who might construct defenses around the constructs.

And those of you who are more accustomed to living in human cities, well... [a beat. trying to think of something charitable] We will probably need someone to -- gather sticks, and the like.

I've been to the Seychelles, does that count? [ he's traveled! to islands! that are extremely expensive and have awesome resorts. they might not count. ]

[actlikealady]

I haven't the faintest idea. You'll have to tell me.

[cleanedslate]

They're a group of islands. Nice. A lot nicer than this, because. Running water, wifi, all that good stuff. You'd like it. I can get you a plane ticket once we're out of here.

[actlikealady]

I will make sure to pay it a visit. [although, after a beat, for no particular reason] You haven't -- heard from Thor since we awoke, have you?

[ we don't really socialize is on the tip of his tongue; with effort, he stops it, and says instead ]

I'll keep an ear out. And an eye. Calvin Klein models tend to stand out in a crowd, even one as weird as ours.

[she doesn't know what that means other than that the answer to her question is "no". composed] Thank you.
