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!]

[she straightens up, slanting him only a second's glance, and then says lightly] Catch, Stark. [and tosses the thrashing fish at him]

[cleanedslate]

[ he throws his hands -- up, away from the fish, but it strikes him in the chest, and then he's darting back and rubbing his chest ewwww fish ]

Five second rule says it's still good for another four seconds. [ pointing at the fish, which is flopping around like crazy, while still being full of visible ew ]

[actlikealady]

[a laugh, shaking her head] You're useless. Keep it from flailing its way into the water, at least. [she's busy getting another one]

[cleanedslate]

Only in select circumstances. [ totally useful at other times. he considers the flopping fish, though, and after a beat he has a reasonably sturdy twig and he's poking the fish away from the water, like a fascinated little kid. look at it flop! ]

Do you think this qualifies for cruelty to animals? PETA is just about the only group I've neer had on my ass before.

[actlikealady]

We're about to kill it. [just, pointing that out. she's already back elbow-deep in the water, holding still]

[cleanedslate]

That'd upset them, too. [ amused. he doesn't pick up the fish, but he does keep it from flopping in the wrong direction, pinning it to the stand with his stick ]

[actlikealady]

Then they would be invited not to share in my catch and mind their own business while they're at it. [completely disinterested in the offense of these ridiculous-sounding people]

[cleanedslate]

[ he snickers, shaking his head ]

I think they might actually rather starve. Do you know how to catch tofu?

[actlikealady]

Whatever that may be, it sounds quite unappetizing. They can fend for themselves. [briskly]

[cleanedslate]

Well, you're not wrong. [ wryly ] Tofu is what you eat when you hate yourself.

[actlikealady]

Then it seems they'll be just as well off not eating, doesn't it? [laughing, and then she snakes her arms deeper in the water, seizing another unsuspecting fish and yanking it out. this one escapes her while she's trying to get a better grip]
