Hey dudes, it's a Mari!

Mari is older, wiser and less horribly traumatised than in GH and as such she's less self-destructive, kinder, and not as likely to betray everyone she meets. Or kill people. She's still a dick, though.

While there are still people she attaches herself to like crazy, she's mostly very casual and laid-back about most of her relationships. She's also hella thick skinned and assumes everyone else is too. Just tell her you're upset and she'll apologise, what's the big deal?

As for skills she's brought to the island, she's a medical student (although that's been put on hold recently) and a first aider in St. John's Ambulance service. She can also do some sewing and cooking.

While she occasionally makes references to TV, she almost never uses the internet. No big deal, her brother is some big shot investor in social networking sites and seeing his name everywhere pisses her off. Also her voice is naturally veerrry soft so it's usually a surprise when she drops five f-bombs in one sentence.

In the airport you might have seen her and her brother having the most awkward pre-flight goodbye ever. On the plane, she was probably sleeping, tbh. If you were sitting next to her, she might have had her head on your shoulder. Delicious personal space.

You seem like the only panicker.

[allbarkandnobite]

... did you miss the screeching woman that wanted to throttle the pilot?

Realist, thank you.

[asimplemistake]

Even she'd know how to deal with nettles if you rubbed them on her, I bet.

[allbarkandnobite]

By screaming.

Andslashor finding a dock leaf, like any person would try to do. Geez, do you underestimate everyone or what? Just stop talking.

[allbarkandnobite]

Requires initial knowledge in knowing what a dock leaf was and that it helps in the healing.

Also requires dock leaves to be on the island.

It is better to underestimate and head off potential danger than to have people who could otherwise be useful die due to their own ignorance of living on an island.

I include myself in that, where my own knowledge is lacking.

[asimplemistake]

Jesus, everyone knows about dock leaves/nettles! It's one of the things everyone knows. Go to everyone on the island, say 'what's a cure for nettles' and they'll go 'dock leaves' I'll bet you. Not 'oh gosh I'd never even heard of such a thing as a nettle before' or whatever it is you think is in people's heads.

Treat people like they're stupid and they'll only get angry at you. You know that, right?

Now, you can go ahead and cringe in whatever corner you'd like best. I'm going to find some for food and work out how to get rid of the stingers.

[allbarkandnobite]

They do not. I know they do not, because I can tell you right now that every single person in my family would blink at you in confusion if you asked them what would heal nettles. Then they'd go google it.

You know, you'd come across as a lot smarter if you stopped telling me what I was doing and being wrong in obviously verifiable ways.

[asimplemistake]

Then your family doesn't have much in the way of common sense.

Go back to your corner of prissiness you ponce. Lord help us if I'm the practical one of the group.

[allbarkandnobite]

... well yes that too, but my family didn't grow up on a farm. We grew up in a gloriously nettle-free city. It's amazing how much we don't have to know about plants like that there.

You are not at all practical and whether you will be helpful is debatable if you insist that we all know what you know and won't bother to teach anyone basic information to survive.

[asimplemistake]

I'm 22. I'm not supposed to teach anyone anything.

Stop talking. If you want to be useful, go gather nettles.

Hell's bells. You ever stop whining?

[allbarkandnobite]

That isn't even logical.

Fuck that. I'm getting coconuts and going to see if I can find eggs.

Only when you stop being a brat.

[asimplemistake]

What. Ev. Er.

[allbarkandnobite]

Whine whine whine.

[asimplemistake]

Stop talking.

[allbarkandnobite]

I could pantomime?

[asimplemistake]

Stop talking.
