"We fell out of the clouds on an island. I flew, personally."
Your heart skips a beat when you hear this. People? Living in the islands?! You say to yourself. You've been to almost half a dozen fallen islands. Always the same thing. Dead cities and not so much as a bone or a piece of clothing. Always plenty of artefacts though.. A crafty glint enters your eye.

"We fell out of the clouds on an island. I flew, personally."
You start sweating at the mention of the flying island. How could these kids be from there?! You've never even heard of anyone claiming something so outrageous! You can see your brother already practically drooling at the mentioned opportunity. Likely he's already conniving a way to figure how to make these kids fly him there. You wonder if you should say something before your brother does.

Go help with what Beth is doing.

Beth looks up at Kyle, one eye arched.

"So, how are you doing Kyle? I think we're in a worse position than anyone realizes...and when the meatheads get back, we'll have to figure out what to do.

I mean, what do you think we should do? I've never been this far from home."
Bethany said, talking quietly.

She didn't like to ask for help, not really, but in this case she was.

Kyle's eyes widen.
"Shit. I forgot those two. Well, after we find them we should find out if there are any ruins or things around for shelter."

...and where is the island you landed on? How many people live up there?

"Maybe they've seen Derry..."
((Isn't Derry with you?))

"So, how are you doing Kyle? I think we're in a worse position than anyone realizes...and when the meatheads get back, we'll have to figure out what to do. I mean, what do you think we should do? I've never been this far from home."
"News flash: None of us have.
"We'll probably need to get food, shelter, and find a source of water first. Once we can survive, we can figure out how to live."

"You and your weird sayings. ..

What is a 'News Flash' anyway? Did people used to get their news from the sky, like lightning bolts? My Dad reads his old books every morning, but they're not terribly flashy..."
Bethany said, yawning.

((Edit: I'm actually unsure of the islands level of technology, btw :P This may be an erroneous post.))

Everybody is in medieval fantasy mode right now. I thought that'd be pretty clear with the way you guys were kitted out. :P

People on the mainland use guns a lot, but the sky island you guys are from (which I'm not going to say if it's the only inhabited one, but as far as you kids know your island is the only that has ever existed, and it blows your fucking minds that there's a planet beneath you) has an abundance of paper knowledge. Stuff in books and all that. Pretty much no one on land knows how to read except some mages (who are extremely rare. they don't have a college or an association or anything but every once in a while people see their towers, which tend to disappear and reappear at random).

"I think it's from when people communicated to each other when across the island with these bright lights. It was only used for urgent news, obviously."

((Isn't Derry with you?))
((Dang it, I meant Wells, these name are confusing to me.))

"You know what? I'm going back to Kyle and Alex and your bird-girlfriend, they seem more reasonable, and more likely to have bandages...."

Jack starts to walk back, feeling dizzy. He takes a drink from his flask, hoping it'll help.

Yeah I've mixed up the short four letter names a few times but no one ever noticed. That's why I've started calling Jack instead Jackson every once in a while.
