Countdown has begun...

There are only three days left on Survivor Island. The remianing Islanders ar as follows: Elisea, Lucita, Mahem and Evalola. The have been living in Isloation now for 7 weeks, both in real life and in second Life, actions and voicing through their avatars has been their only real means of communication, and only with each other. They have made friends, they have made enemies... but tonight they are calm and retrospective as the keen awareness that the experience they have shared is nearing an end.

It all means something now, and they are taking these memories made here into teh future with them. The place between the pals, the cargo boxes on the shore, the calming rush of the seascape. This morning they said they felt words were to little to explain their experience, magical and resonating. Mahem takes advantage of the moment of silence (as usual) to interject some thoughtful words, speaking directly to the island, and how it has embraced them, both the good and the ugly, their failures and successes are immortal on it's sands. He talked about the Islanders, those there with him, and those who have gone away and his feeling of their shared moments of intesity... and he paused to come to one unexpected conclusion: "The Women have won!"

There is a pear tree that has stood on the Island for 46 days now, an admonisment from the producers that reminds the players not to harvest what is not theirs. Later, at the Islanders camp, the discussion turns toward the pear tree, and stangely enough, an intruder that has taken some of their food. The Islanders are in for a grave discovery as a messenger arrives in teh form of the woman pear tree and informs them that Elisea has been stealing the food. Elisea denies this, claiming she has only ever taken enough to satisfy her hunger, and although she is outraged at the accusation, her companions remain loyal to her. No one knows who the stanger making the accusatins is, and some suspect it is a jaded fan, or a member of the production staff. Mahem does not believe Elisea took the food to cause intentional harm to the rest of them and lends her his support. With teh days growing short on the Island, the castaways decide that it is best to leave the past behind them and enjoy what time they have left.
