People of the mansion, brownstone, and various other living situations -

LET IT BE KNOWN:

I've rented an island for all of spring break. I did this on the off chance that people might want to go to it, but it no one else does, me and my ladybird can have the whole thing to ourselves. And I'd be okay with that. But it's kind of a big island and there are multiple housing opportunities and it's tropical so. If you want in, let me know. And make sure your passports are up-to-date. Or that you've purchased enough fabric to appease Skittles, Goddess of Instant, Worldwide Transportation because I totally don't mind hiding you beneath the floorboards if, for some strange reason, random authorities decide to stop by and look at everyone's paperwork.

IN LIKE FLIN!

...how much fabric does she need? I think I have a passport somewhere, but planes suck.

An Island? Like land surrounded by water island?

Gee, this doesn't have "what could possibly go wrong?" written all over it.

How do you even live in the same world as the rest of us where you can just rent an island under an assu...

no, wait, if I wanted I could rent an island under an assumed name, I would just then owe people a lot of money or favours for a very long time, and it would not be nearly as large of an island.

If we get stranded, I am making you build a coconut radio.

I have no idea how much fabric she needs. I think she said bolts. Lots of bolts.

Yes. I think there might even be trees and some kind of fauna involved.

Things go wrong all the time, but fixing them on the fly is half the fun. You in?

Oh, coconut radios! I'll make you one of those, anyway, even if we're not stranded. Like a potato clock, only better. Lots of sun and coconuts. Spring break's never looked so good.

...oh boy...

I guess so. With this crowd, you'll probably need a doctor around.

So glad I am not the only person here who reacts this way to people buying houses and renting land masses at the drop of a hat.

Where do I sign up for this world of lavish luxury?

I've been told that it's a good idea that I actually take a spring break rather then continuing to study - and heck, might be good to have someone medically trained (Or at least in training ) on this Island of yours. If the offer is still open, put me down for a spot.

You and Doc Reyes - no faith in my ability to not get maimed on Spring Break. What is that?

But you're totally invited. I'm sure I can arrange a cabana boy for you, if you want.

I know some merc companies who'd like a 'have bag, will travel' doctor on the payroll. And you obviously don't mind being in war-torn countries, so y'know.

No ethical questions there.

Would his name happen to be Doug? :) And it's not that we have no faith, it's just that we have historical knowledge.

Depends on the Mercenary company and their code. Don't make too many judgements based on Hollywood movies

What about judgments based on knowing Wade?

Before or after he graced us with his illuminating if slightly mad presence?

After. But he tells me stories.

Definitely not. I can totally give you their contact information!

Yes. Yes, Doug is the cabana boy I mentioned above. All shirtless and using palm fronds to fan you in the tropical heat. Also, I'm sure there's sun tan lotion or oil or something. Have you two gotten to the 'oil' phase yet? It's a very nice phase.

I know nice merc companies! I've got a friend who's in charge of one that's in the Congo at the moment.

Oh, no, it's not you I'm worried about. Just everybody else.

Think I'll pass. Despite my complaining, it is about more than the money.

Does this mean you want a cabana boy?

I figured.

It doesn't mean I don't want a cabana boy.

Oh, tricksy. I will give you four cabana boys.

This is why we're friends.

And steak.

Okay, that too.

I am made of win.

Not quite yet. Right now we're on going to nice restaurants and getting to know each other outside of journals/work. Not to say I would mind oil and fan fronds.

Yes, but it's the Congo. They have leeches in the Congo, and malaria.
