Intro >> Vincent Alexander

Hello~!

This is Vincent! He is a quiet librarian who wasn't even supposed to be on this particular flight but a surprise snowstorm (woo Canadian winter-spring) held up his original flight out of The Great White North, and is also why he's overdressed for the weather. It was (will be?) his very unremarkable birthday on Tuesday, the tickets to Australia were a bribe gift from his father, so basically this is the worst birthday present ever.

Vincent is a nice guy, if rather shy and awkward. He will try to be helpful insomuch as he can. His only really relevant skills are first aid, and maybe a bit of cooking and mending.

He also has a ridiculously detailed inventory so, uh, if anyone wants to take advantage of that and go through his things, let me know?

ETA: If you saw him at the airport before they left, he was probably reading or texting someone on his phone. He probably looked a bit nervous, restless, especially going through security. He's just paranoid because of all the stories of power-happy TSA people, don't mind him and his pile of unseasonably warm clothing.

Jesus Christ, I know we're close to Antarctica, but...

Bet you won't be so shy after long! We're all going to be seeing quite a lot of each other, so get talking, buddy!

It sounds like a lovely birthday gift to me in theory. Though a bit lonely?

Finally, another first aider!

Seems like we are.

Making do might as well be our motto for this island.

They're sure taking their time.

And also not die.

we also need food. And water. Whatever. We can set up a first aid station, I suppose...

And here I thought nearly missing a flight I was supposed to be on was bad ...

You could use the jacket for a bed. Better than sleeping on sand, I'll bet
allbarkandnobite: (pondering)

[personal profile] allbarkandnobite 2012-02-14 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
Only more in that you'd rather sleep on sand than listen to them whine about it.

The truth is not always kind.

A better way to stop the whining, mine included, is to find an alternative way to create beds for all of us. One jacket will not get anyone very far.

There's a good few stories about where too much generosity will get you.
