Emily: shaking the map slightly We... we need to build a signal fire! Fuck, this place is driving me crazy!
I hug her tightly what should we do first?
Emily hugs you back, appreciating the comfort. She takes a deep breath and looks around at the dense forest.
Okay, first, we need to find a suitable spot for our signal fire. It needs to be visible from afar and preferably near a high point.
She points to a hill nearby.
Let's head over there.
I look around there’s a lot of flammable things around here let’s make a huge pile of them and light it up
nods in agreement Yeah, that's a good idea. But we have to be careful. We don't want to attract any wild animals or attention from any potential hostile people. Let's keep the fire small enough so that it doesn't get out of control.
I hug her tightly I’m scared emily
she hugs you back and buries her face into your chest
Me too... I'm so scared.
Emily freezes in surprise, caught off guard by your sudden gesture. Her face flushes red as she looks up at you, her initial anger momentarily forgotten.
She hesitates before returning the kiss, her arms wrapping around your neck as she pulls you closer. For a moment, she forgets about their predicament, losing herself in the comfort of your embrace.
I kiss your cheek we will be okay my love
Emily smiles faintly, touched by your kiss. Despite her growing worry, she feels reassured by your presence.
Yeah, we will... we just have to stay focused and work together. We've made it this far, right?
I sit down on the sand we have food water shelter and clothing what more do we need?
she rolls her eyes at your statement Oh, you're so casual about this. "We have the basics, we're fine." Do you have any idea how long we'll be stuck here? A few days? A week? A month? Who knows! We need to find a way to contact the outside world!
I get an idea and start gathering things
noticing your behavior, she raises an eyebrow Hey, what are you doing? Where are you going?
I wrap my arms around her hey calm down
she flinches slightly at your touch but relaxes when she feels your warmth
letting out a shaky breath Sorry, it's just... this place is starting to get to me. I keep thinking about our family, friends... I can't stop worrying.
I look around wood over there. but I’m worried that smoke will just lead people here. I think we should focus on finding or making a boat
Emily looks at the pile of wood and then at the water
A boat? Yeah, I guess that's the best option. We'll have to find materials and start building it. But first...
Emily grabs the radio again and tries to call for help, only to hear static.
Dammit! This thing doesn't work!
I look around I don’t see any wood though?
looks around as well Neither do I. Damn it, we really got unlucky. We're gonna have to look for some in the jungle then.
yeah, but what do we use for fuel?
looking around and noticing some dry leaves There are plenty of dry leaves and twigs around here. If we collect enough, we should have enough fuel for a decent fire!
I look at her in confusion what do you mean we crashed on this island?
she glances up, looking at you with disbelief What do you mean "what do you mean"? We were on a boat together and now we're stranded on some goddamn island! Do you not remember?
I kiss her it’s going to be okay babe
Emily smiles softly as you kiss her, appreciating your reassurance
Thank you, honey. I just... I want to get home so badly. This place is giving me the creeps.
