Round 5 (fall): Castaway

Nov 15, 2011 19:48

Previously, the Castaway kids staked their claim on one of Ste-Margo's abandoned beaches, where they've been lying low and out of sight. Now the nights are getting colder, and their little beach hideaway is starting to seem less ideal...

But on sunny days, when things still seem warm and serene, Una spends her afternoons ignoring her homework and building sandcastles to her heart's content.

Whatever makes you happy, bb. ;__;

Once she's all sandcastled out, Una remembers a fish in her inventory and decides to surprise the boys with dinner. Unfortunately, her attempts at blackening the catfish get a little out of hand.

Welp.

Una's internal monologue: Well, this isn't so bad.

Actually, scratch that!

Jayne: "Phew, it is getting hot, amirite?"
Una: *burning*

Jayne: "You still on fire? Cool, me too."
Una: *burning*

Marco: "To the rescue! Bros before hos!"
Una: *burning, you ass*

Marco: "Say, ever notice how the fire extinguisher kinda matches this tent?"
Jayne: "Face. Still. Burning."
Una: "Um..."

Marco: "Aaand last but not least..."

Marco: "...oh."

(Hang on a sec...)

(There it is.)

D:

Let's all take a moment to remember Una Castaway (Round 4 - Round 5).

RIP, love.

Una's ghost is quite creepy with the black lenses. But her haunting is short-lived, as her grave is now relocated to the Una Castaway Memorial Cemetery. While Una had not been in town very long, she and the other Castaways had become fixtures in the founder's home as frequent guests of Penelope's, so Frida proposed naming the cemetery in her honor when she learned it was to receive its first inhabitant.

To help ease the sudden loneliness on the beach, Jayne decides he'd like to adopt a dog, so he and Marco scavenge more things to raise money for the adoption fee and supplies.

And here she is! They name her Una II. It's meant as a compliment.

Marco finally realizes it's too cold to sit around his in bathing suit all night.

He and Jayne spend the rest of the night in the tent sharing their best Amy Tang stories (everyone's got one!).

Jayne: "Do you think this is... safe?"

After the thrill of their marshmallows wears off, sitting around the fire (their first fire since Una died) puts the boys in an understandably pensive mood.
