Things that would be cool right now:

An IV of tea

paracetemol for the worst headache ever

new clothes

At least the river means being able to wash and drink, but it's doing nothing to cure the other two. Working on a cure for her headache, Mari's retired to the beach with her pack of cards. In the shade from a palm, she deals herself out a hand of solitaire and starts playing. With almost every move she makes though, she glances up to look out over the ocean.

Still no help?

"What is this, the Bermuda triangle?"

Mari regards her with a sleepy eyed half smile, cocking her head to one side. If nothing else, it's good to see people have kept their sense of humour. It's debatable how long it'll last. She's betting that within about a week they'll all want to kill each other.

"Coping?" Mari thinks about it for a little while, looking down at her cards. She's been trying her best not to think about anything, that's how she's been coping. "I don't want to talk about coping," she says finally, after mining her brain. "I'm doing alright at the moment. That's all I want to focus on. How are you feeling?"
