<span style="font-weight: bold">Althea, Caitlyn, Roga Jain, Mara T'siirin, Miles King, Tieh</span><br/><br/>While the five of you where introducing each other and Althea being too buzy too busy being embraced by the overly happy Brand, Step had walked around the group and up the dune to look down into the lagoon left behind by the serpent dominant group. Giving you plenty of time for introductions.<br/><br/>Meanwhile Brand was busy talking to Althea (after failing to smother her in boobs). "What box?" She asks Althea as she pulls away from the hug. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Traveller's group? He would be very worried about you if he knew you were stranded on an unknown island. He thinks of you like a daughter you know." Brand was giving Althea a bit of an earful. But she relented as soon as she saw the snake woman's reaction. "Aw don't be like that. Accident's happen. Come Scales, let's take you to Rose. I bet she will be happy to see you." With that Brand started leading Althea or "Scales" down towards the others.<br/><br/>It only takes a little while before Step comes back after her sweep of the area. "Alright, talky talky time over. I got to report in to Rose." She say in a fairly cold voice, at which her sister responds. "Don't be a stick in the mud Tanya. We should be glad that we found scales alive and not floating in the water like so many other people." As soon as Brand finished her sister "Tanya" shoots her a glare of ice. "Code names. We use them for a reason<span style="font-weight: bold">Brand</span>." Turning to everyone else. "You people can stay here if you want, I will report in with Rose." With that she turns around and starts to hustle away from the group back to the main survivor herd.<br/><br/><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td style="margin: 0;padding: 0;border: 0;"><div style=" background-color: #FFEBD5;color: #000000; -moz-border-radius: 16px; -webkit-border-radius: 16px; border: 1px solid #FFFFFF; padding: 4px;font-size: 1em;">  So sorry I have been unable to update today. Life have the unexpected quality to suddenly catch you and make you busy. And what little time I had was spent mostly eating.<br/><br/>As for Brand and Step, their personalities are sort of inspired by another couple of characters of mine. One is cold, introverted, and calculating while the other is warm, outgoing and impulsive (and have a massive rack). Props to to the one being able to figure out which characters they are inspired by. Also, yes. Althea does have ties to these people. Not close enough to know any of their real names but she do know the full groups code names as well as just a little bit about them. If EtPerMun or HalfTime asks me about it in PM I will write them up a small summary of what they know of them.  </div><img src="./images/think.gif"/></td></tr></tbody></table>
