Jasmine knew that Heidi was right, so she wiped at her face and did her best to calm down. Jordan wouldn't want her to be like this, he would want her to be strong and hold it together. Jasmine just wasn't sure how she was going to do that yet, "Did you want to wait for rescue or did you-- Did you want me to help you bury him?" her breath caught in her throat, but she knew she had to do something. She couldn't leave him exposed like that, she knew it was the right thing to do.
"I couldn't ask you to do this, you've already done so much. Helping me find him, making me feel better."

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
It had been a long night for Stu as he sat by the fire staying awake all night on a self imposed watch incase something came out of the jungle. Stu had spent some of the night thinking about what he would do if a monster really did come out of the jungle and the only option he could come up with was to punch it in the face mainly because it would be an awesome story to tell. The other thought on his mind was his interactions with Heidi towards the end of the night, he had no idea what that was but it felt nice, and scary and disturbed him immensely. Eventually the sun came up and people started moving around, including Heidi, after an internal struggle Stu finally decided he had to talk to her walked up to her more then likely interrupting what looked like an important discussion between her and a woman he hadn't met yet. Stu tugged on her child in a rather childish manner while talking incredibly fast "Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di."

"I couldn't ask you to do this, you've already done so much. Helping me find him, making me feel better."
"You didn't--"
I was interrupted by Stu tugging at my sleeve and talking as if he'd just knocked over an espresso bar.
"Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di. DI. Di. Di. Di. Di. Di."
I pinched the bridge of my nose and looked at Jasmine apologetically. "I'm so, so sorry. Please, give me just one second. Please. So sorry. Just... don't move," I pleaded, hoping that she understood how important our conversation and my offer was.
I stood up, placed both my hands on his chest and walked, pushing him backward until we were out of earshot. "Dammit, Stu, not now," I said quietly. "I'm in the middle of a really important and serious conversation. Please, just give me a some time alone with Jasmine."

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
"Dammit, Stu, not now,""I'm in the middle of a really important and serious conversation. Please, just give me a some time alone with Jasmine."
"Oh god, I'm sorry..." Stu's hand quickly clasped over his mouth, he had apologized and meant it without actually thinking about it, it just happened and there was nothing in it for him. Stu continued talking "mmph mmph mmph mmph..." Stu then removed the hand from his mouth "I just, no you are right I should have..." Stu then begun to walk away before quickly turning back and walking towards Heidi again "No I need to know what is this..." Stu waved his hands over his body trying to indicate the where the feelings he was experiencing were coming from "No you are right I shouldn't have interrupted you like that." Stu again turned to leave before turning back and opening his mouth to which nothing came out of.

I was at a loss for words as I watched Stu. What happened to him between yesterday and today? But I didn't have time to ponder it right now. "We'll talk later," I promised.
I pushed it to the back of my mind and sat back down next to Jasmine. "I'm sorry," I said again. "You said you couldn't ask me to do that but you didn't ask; I offered." I looked at her, waiting for her decision.

Jasmine watched as some guy came over and distracted Heidi from their conversation. Jasmine didn't mind it gave her a few minutes to collect herself. It didn't take long for the situation to be settled, "I'm sorry, you said you couldn't ask me to do that but you didn't ask; I offered." Jasmine gave a half smile and nodded her head. "Yeah I guess you are right on that, but I can't even look at him right now. I can't go near him, i'd just lose it again."

"I understand." I found myself feeling a little relieved. When I'd made the offer, I thought it was something I could handle but the more I waited for her decision, the more I had begun to wonder if I'd be able to follow through with it.
"You don't need to be there. I could find one or two people willing to do it." Off the top of my head, I already knew a couple people who would most likely be willing to help. Jack, being a doctor, would be able to handle it and Sayid seemed capable based on the fact he hadn't batted an eyelash when he'd helped me out of that seat next to Jordan.

KATE
Kate's conversation with Jack had felt strained. His answers had been short and she found him staring past her on several occasions. He'd said the Marshal hadn't said anything and she didn't see why he would lie about it so she simply assumed Jack had a lot of things on his plate.
Kate let him get back to whatever he'd been doing and wandered around camp to see where she could be of help.

"I understand...You don't need to be there. I could find one or two people willing to do it." Jasmine took a breath and nodded her head, a lump in her throat formed, it was probably for the best. "Sure, thank you." she took a breath and looked down at her hands. "I just don't think i can do it right now, tell them thank you, whomever say yes."

"I will." Jasmine looked both emotionally and physically drained. It was obvious she didn't get much sleep. "Why don't you use mine or Sarah's shelter, get some proper rest?" I offered.

"I can't sleep right now, i can hardly eat." Every time she closer her eyes, she saw Jordan. she had gotten some sleep, but not much. Her stomach was in knots and she felt sick to her stomach, she was sure whatever she ate, it would come back up again. "But thanks, maybe i'll take you up on that offer later."

"If you change your mind or just want a quiet, shady place, they're right over there," I said pointing to the cluster of three shelters. "The one in the middle and to the right are mine and Sarah's. They're empty right now. The one on the left is Alisha's shelter. She's sort of stuck in there with her injured leg. If you don't want to be alone, I'm sure she'd love some company."

"Thanks and maybe i'll swing by and make her day, I heard her mention she was at my show in Sydney. So, well I guess i could use a fan right now." Jasmine smirked and kept hold of her ring, a reminder.

I smiled, finally feeling some reassurance that she'd be okay. I was reluctant to leave her until that moment. "I'm sure she could use a pick-me-up." I stood up. "I'm gonna get going. I'll see you soon, 'kay?"

Stu 'Smiley' Miley
Stu walked around collecting scraps of wood, dancing along and singing he told himself it was so he didnt go crazy on the island but in truth it was to get any thoughts of Heidi out of his head. So Stu continued walking and singing not caring who heard him or their thoughts about his singing voice,
"Take me home to the paradise city where the grass is green and the girls are pretty, take me home."
Soon after Stu dropped the wood he was gathering bar one piece and began air guitaring singing the guitar solo parts.

Amber Wellington
Amber woke up during a commotion and left the confines of Heidi's shelter which she had graciously let her sleep in to find out what all the fuss was about. Amber found a group of people gathered around but couldnt make head or tails about what was being said so she left and walked back to the shelters.

The two people that had initially come to mind already had too much on their plates so I decided to leave them as a last resort. Jack was busy with the patients and there always seemed to be someone talking to him. I'd assumed it was for advice since most everyone, myself included, started to look to him as a kind of leader. Sayid was busy delegating tasks to the groups he'd organized. I scanned the people around me as I wandered. How exactly was I supposed to figure out who would be willing to bury a body, let alone get near one?
I looked toward the fuselage and saw the woman who'd tended to Hank yesterday casually moving among the bodies. With her, the problem of getting near a dead body was, well, not a problem.

Holding the three shovel-like pieces of wreckage across both arms, I waited patiently for Mia by the treeline, glad to be in the shade but not looking forward to the upcoming trek through the jungle and burial. I wondered who she'd been able to talk into helping.

I gave a sigh of relief as the two approached. Thank God the asking part was over. "Hi Severin," I said before looking back at Mia. "We've met. On the first night after the--" I nodded toward where the trees had been falling over accompanied by howling, grinding noises that first night and broke off. Definitely a bad idea to be bringing that up when we were about to head into the jungle. I mustered up a smile as I pushed that thought to the back of my mind. "I appreciate your help. He's this way," I said, heading into the jungle.

Taking on the task of helping to collect water, Gwen was gathering some of the smaller pieces of plastic to use as rain-catchers. Granted, she didn't know the mechanics of actually building such a device but maybe someone else would if she provided the supplies. At least it was something to do to keep her mind occupied.

***James enters from F3 - Camp - James Woodhouse's Shelter***
James leant against a nearby tree, surveying the camp area and wondering what the best way of keeping his mind busy was. He could see what looked like a small group burying something off in the distance but they seemed to have it under control. As he looked at the various people around him, he suddenly realised how little he'd spoken to anyone since the crash. He'd been too preoccupied with looking for Jess.
"Don't go thinking about that again, Jamesy-boy" he muttered to himself, scanning the area for ways to make himself useful. His noticed that one of the women from the plane seemed to be gathering things together and set off in her direction.
"Excuse me, do you need a hand there?" he asked. "Only I've got two and they're not doing a lot right now!"

"Excuse me, do you need a hand there? Only I've got two and they're not doing a lot right now!"
"Hmm? Oh, hi," she said, looking up and then further up as the owner of the voice was quite tall. "Yes, that would be great. I thought we could build some sort of thing to catch the rainwater. You don't happen to be an engineer, do you? Architect? Former boy scout?"

"So what'd she say?" Hurley asked Jack across the airline seats they carried.
"She didn't say anything," Jack said, keeping his eyes toward the ground, watching for anything in his path.
"But you told her you knew?" Hurley pressed.
Jack didn't want to be discussing this. "I don't know anything."
Hurley didn't pick up the hint that he should drop the subject. "Well, you kind of know she's in that mug shot. And that we found those handcuffs. And that guy keeps mumbling 'she's dangerous, she's dangerous' over and over."
"It's not my business. Not my problem," Jack said more firmly.
"Yeah, you're right," Hurley said, finally taking the hint. "We'll let Johnny Fever take care of her when he gets better."
Jack's mouth settled into a grim line. "He's not getting better if we don't get some stronger antibiotics."
Hurley looked at Jack in surprise. It was the first time Jack didn't insist the man would be fine. "That stuff I got from the luggage..."
"It's for ear infections and foot fungus," Jack said.
Hurley's shoulders drooped in defeat. "We went through everything, man."
"What about that luggage in the overhead compartments?"
"That's inside the plane," Hurley said matter-of-factly.
"Yeah?" Jack said, matching Hurley's tone.
"But, the bodies are in there, and they're all... dead."
Jack sighed and resisted rolling his eyes. "Look, I'll handle it. Why don't you keep an eye on him...?"
"Great. Yeah - love to - on it." Hurley was relieved to not have to be the one to go into the fuselage of death.
Jack grabbed an empty duffel bag and headed for the fuselage.

"None of the above", James laughed, "but I do come from a country that knows a thing or two about rain."
He knelt down next to her and started looking through the assorted items she'd collected. "Do you have a decent-sized plastic bottles?"

"None of the above, but I do come from a country that knows a thing or two about rain."
"Oh, me too. I thought I recognized the accent. I'm Gwen, by the way," she informed him, having long since discarded the Oceanic nametag and changing out of her uniform.
"Do you have a decent-sized plastic bottles?"
"Maybe. I was trying to distribute what we had left from the beverage carts among everyone on the beach," she said. "Not sure anyone was expecting to be here long enough to need recycling."

"Must be British luck that we'd end up in this situation" James said, raising a hand and motioning vaguely at their surroundings. "I'm James. Nice to meet you, although I wish it had been under better circumstances", he added, picking up bottles and holding them up to examine them.
"Maybe. I was trying to distribute what we had left from the beverage carts among everyone on the beach. "Not sure anyone was expecting to be here long enough to need recycling."
"If we can find one that's pretty much the same size at the bottom as at the top...ah, this should do." James held up a promising looking bottle and turned it over a few times in his hands. "We need to cut the top of this off if possible. Don't suppose you've got anything sharp, do you?"

"Oh you needn't worry about that", James smiled, standing and dusting sand off his trousers. "I won't be hacking at my own veins just yet. Not until someone finds a working stereo and starts trying to attract passing ships by playing MC Hammer's greatest hits at full volume."
What a witty and smooth talker you are, James' thought to himself sarcastically. With a sense of humour that sharp, who needs tools to cut plastic with?!
James stood with his hands on his hips, surveying the area for anything that could be useful before turning back to Gwen.
"I'll go look around the camp for something we can use."

"I'll go look around the camp for something we can use."
"Sure. And duly noted, no hip-hop songs in heavy rotation," she agreed. As James continued his search, she began tying lengths of vine around short bamboo stalks to make a sort of holding structure, or as near as she could approximate one.
Boone was getting restless after their return and looking for a way to avoid Shannon. "You need some help with that?" he asked the flight attendant.
"Yes, please," Gwen replied. "The Professor made it look so much easier on their uncharted isle."
Boone gave her a small smile as he lowered himself to the sand. "Yeah, well, everybody on that boat packed way more than they needed for a three-hour tour," he remarked.
"True." She continued to work in silence before adding, "Nice to see that everyone made it back in one piece. I don't suppose you met up with whatever's in that jungle."
He shook his head, deciding against sharing their strange encounter with the polar bear and the disembodied French woman pleading for rescue. "Nope, just more trees."
