And Paul

You drag Jennifer with you back to the little encampment you have created for yourself. The others are happy to see you found another survivor. You are more happy to see that Arturo had been bandaged and was coming to consciousness. "I think we might be all the survivors there are." Andrea says. You nod. "And if this is indeed a deserted island, then we are on our own to get out of here." you add. "The most important thing to do now is to find a safe source of water and food. Over time we might also need shelter and I believe Andrea is going to want some clothes some time soon." you state, looking at everyone in the group. "In my experience, these situations run the smoothest when there is a clear leader. I'm not saying I should be the leader. I'd rather not be, to be perfectly honest."

You instinctively look to the tall man who had helped you carry the pregnant woman. "If you're thinking about me, that's not happening. I'm strong and fit, but I'm not the thinking kind." You knew Arturo was definitely the thinking kind, but he was out for the moment. "And why exactly couldn't a woman be the leader of the group?" the girl from the raft says. You're taken aback by the sudden outburst. "Would you want to take on the role of leader then?" you respond. "Well, not necessarily. I just wanted it to be clear that it's an option." she says in response. You nod at her.

"Alright then. If no one wants to take up the position, I'll volunteer until a better candidate can be chosen." you say. "Is everyone okay with this decision?" Everyone agrees. Andrea walks up to you. She leans in, pushing her exposed breast against your side. "A better candidate? Are you kidding me? You were made for this role!" she whispers to you with a playful grin. You shake your head. "I don't think you're right, but thank you for the support."

You address the group. "I realise you may not even know me, just as I don't know many of you." you say. "My name is Paul Stone, I'm 29 years old and I used to be an accountant." Andrea steps forward. "I'm Andrea Briggs and I'm 28 years old. I was a waitress and I did competitive swimming." Arturo, only just awake looks at you confused. "What the fuck is going on?"

You explain to Arturo the situation you're in and the decisions that have been made. You then finish the introductions with you introducing Jennifer. The big guy, Jack Hennis, was a gym teacher and assistant, at 24 the youngest of the group. Only a bit younger than Vicky who had just had her 25th birthday. Nobody really knew the pregnant woman, though Jack had talked a bit to her during the party. She had told him she was now 8 months pregnant, which could be a problem if you were still on the island when she's giving birth.

-- Sanity Score Explained --

How well each character is doing is shown on the right side of your screen and is represented by a Sanity Score. A character's Sanity Score is determined by a combination of their physical and mental health. A character's physical health drops when they don't have enough food or water and injuries they may have. A character's mental health is determined by their faith in a succesful escape from the island and the amount of "attention" they receive (wink wink).

When a character's sanity score drops below 25% they go insane, resulting in their or someone else's ****. So make sure that doesn't happen.

Good luck!
