Video
[morning of day three. there are clouds out and Allen loves them. he's pretty much given up on shirts and is just grimly bearing with his bright pink sunburn. the video shows him, and what he's working in his hands -- one dark red and exoskeletal -- is some thick grass, weaving several strands together to make a rope. he has a pretty decent amount of it. he's been working on it since the first day]

I feel really strongly that we should make a net so that we can catch more fish. [so that he can starve less. paaaause] But it's taking longer than I'd like. I don't suppose anyone else has any rope to contribute... [he trails off, staring at the water. it looks so cool and blue and inviting. and full of fish]

...You know, never mind. [shoving himself up and steeling his pink-and-red shoulders] Does anyone know how to hand-fish?


Mingle
[It's time for playing in the water!! Whether you're fishing, swimming, sunbathing on the sand, or just goofing off, let's get our beach on!]

[Feel free to respond to Allen's video post here, to make your own comment threads for mingling, or both!]

[ Yeah, that gets him a raised eyebrow. ]

A cartwheel? [ Puts the rope down to pull out his tiny hammer. ] We've been in worse shape, man. This'd be peanuts compared to the Ark. Or old HQ. [ He is antsy to do something. There aren't even any books to help pass the time. ]

Lavi.

[that's all he's saying. and giving you this look. this look is a warning. further insubordinate action may result in face-punching. he is not playing games with your safety]

[neverforgets]

[ Inwardly cringes and looks away, over at the ocean. It'd be such a small thing, to invoke and call down the seal, and then he could just go back to boredom. ]

I'm going to get sicker anyway, so you can stop fussing... [ Muted, possibly a bit sullen. Rubs at the back of his neck. ]

I hope you understand that that's a terrible argument. [he takes another bite of his fish, and rakes fingers through his hair as he chews thoughtfully. then] There's no need for it, and we don't know what the consequences will be. Let's just be reasonable about this.

[ It would be comforting to know that Allen is being reasonable, but that would mean realizing and admitting he's not all that circumspect right now.

He turns the hammer's handle between his fingers and seriously considers just doing it. But a glance at Allen makes him, reluctantly, shelve that thought. He's not sure what the other's reaction would be, and pissing off his friend just isn't something he wants to do. (Which bothers him no small amount.)

Sigh. ]

Fiiiiiine. [ Leans back on the sand and pillows his head beneath one arm. ]

[that's better. quietly reassuring] You'll feel better soon. Hopefully sooner if you take it easy. Then we'll know that you're fully recovered.
