Today was a calm day on the island... at first! The morning was spent jogging around the island, swimming, talking and playing. The contestants made a hysterical fake TV news program, just for themselves (...and all the audience watching them on the webcams). After that gathered in a group for a nice round of collaborative storytelling, each one submitting a line to further the plot.

The necessity of survival is being felt more fervently now: all the contestants are trying hard to figure out ways to get more food and water, as well as attempting to find clues from the production staff. (Our lips are sealed!)

Focus befell Lucita once again, regarding her reluctancy in using voice and giving details about her real life. She responded by saying that she believes that part of the SL beauty is being in a completely different reality, where the imagination is free to present the Avatar as the player chooses. Implementing real voices and adding real life details is something she views as a limitation of that imagination. Despite her stance, the other Islanders are wondering if Lucita is keeping secrets.

During one of the several jogging sessions all the Islander suffered a blow (Literally!) and found themselves scattered all around the island, alone.

Technical problems? Perhaps. Or an omen from the Game masters... another trial is coming.
