"Sick." The matching initials were a result of complete coincidence but it brought them a small amount of joy anyways. Despite their diligent notetaking since the crash, Vala, it seemed, didn't have all the details down. Yet. "So," the obligatory question, "if I might ask, how did you end up on the plane bound for Hell?"
" right ? " it was a fun little coincidence, something to keep her mind occupied and herself a little optimistic finding joy in little things like this. the question that followed was a valid one. " well... " she started, holding back a smile at the irony of it all. " i was on the way to do an outback tour. a walkabout in australia. hiking and trekking and all that. i guess, i still kind of got that. but i don't think we're in australia. "

despite being known for their permanent frown, and despite being knee-deep in who knows where, it was a true testament to their friendship how erin still struggled to keep a straight face when vanny mocked them. rolling their eyes, a smile tugging at the corners of their reluctant lips. "save my energy?" he scoffs. "this is easier than a double shift back home. my fight response hasn't been triggered as strongly as a blonde woman with ugly hair complaining for no reason." they both know it wasn't true but erin stubbornly refused to allow the seriousness of the situation to kick in, being overrun with fear and hopelessness did nothing for self-preservation. "no animals are going to touch you between finn's snoring and me. get some shuteye."
that eye roll and the hint of a smile they're trying to fight so damn hard is all vanessa can really ask for. it's more than anyone else is probably getting and she's happy with it. a snort then follows his comment. it takes all of her not to let out a laugh and possibly wake up everyone and everything else around them. they both had to deal with their fair share of those type of people. vanny's aware that the situation is much worse but she doesn't mind the joke. " oh, i'm not worried about that. " a hand comes off to dismiss any concern as she feels a yawn coming up that she desperately tries to hold back for no apparent reason. sinking down a bit further, she crosses her arms over her chest. " you know, you should get some shuteye. "
With a nod and a wave, they answered, "McMahon, pleasure to properly meet you." They were surprised she knew their name. Maybe from one of my old papers? Or, rather than from some random archaeology paper, maybe someone just told her. Oh, yeah. Vala, on the other hand, had not a clue as to what hers might be. "Sorry, what's your name?"
smile grows on her face as they confirm her guess, nodding proudly to herself. then again, she's always been good with names and faces. it had come up sometime during their first month here and ever since, that little piece of information was stored in the back of her mind. " vanessa. mason. everyone just calls me vanny though. " she tells them, clear offering to use the nickname. " it's kinda easy to remember because we have the same set of initials. V M."

athena tripped over a vine and let out a curse under their breath as they struggled to get back vertical. all they wanted was their bed at home but here they were traipsing through a damp jungle. her eyes just felt tired and heavy, same with their limbs. throwing the bed roll down athena cringed as they looked upwards, their camps small fire wasn't much and they didn't want it to be too big just in case but all she could think of were things falling from the trees in the night.
shuddering athena turned towards the voice next t their bedroll. ''mmm, unfortunately, it is like I'm exhausted but at the same time not tired enough to sleep.
eyes carefully watched as the other tries to find a place to rest for the night, watched them tripped and eventually settle down. only a minute or two later had vanessa spoken up. the fire was dying down but it was enough to see their head turn and so vanny flashed them a smile. " same here. " she tells them with a sigh escaping her lips, leaning back against the tree she'd set herself up underneath.
" i'm used to hiking but this is really something else. maybe because we're not even sure where we're going, you know? we don't really have a destination, we're just wandering around a damn jungle aimlessly. "

erin soon found out that if there was anything worse than the beach it was the jungle. while they were both as simultaneously bad as each other at least the beach was open and they could see everything around them. the jungle? the jungle, on the other hand, was eerie and he couldn't shake the feeling of eyes on the back of their head despite nothing being there — as far as they could see. as the group settles down for the night they too rather annoyingly can't get out of their head, they wonder if they had made a wrong choice and put them both in danger but it was too late now.
"that's a dumb question." despite erin's words their tone is teasing albeit exhausted. they lift their head from their bent knees which their arms folded over and look in vanny's direction. "i want to know who's snoring so i can kick their ass."
" that's a dumb question. " vanessa repeats their words in a mocking voice, her tone playful and not mean while still making sure to talk as quietly as possible. smile widens now that she knows he's still awake and she wouldn't be left alone with all her thoughts. a huff follows those words. " you might wanna save your energy. " still, there's a glance around to see if she could make out who their culprit was but all she got was the vague direction. in the dark, it's impossible to tell who the noise was coming from. " my money is on finn though. " just cause. " but whoever it is is doing us a favour. scaring off other wild animals and all that, you know ? "
"vanny... i smelled something so delicious. i thought it was waffles," scott said, normally bright voice full of despair. "turns out it was just eve's bottle of perfume." he sighed, stomach grumbling. "i thought, hey, maybe she wouldn't mind if i spritzed some on myself. after all, i probably stink now after all these days on this island. but then i thought, what if there's some sort of animal here that's drawn to any of the scent notes in her perfume? what if some bear jumps out and tries to maul me because of course, of course... the bears on this island just looove smelling vanilla mixed with sweat?"
oh, honey. a sigh falls from her lips as he rambles on and on. she doesn't have the heart to try and tell him again that eve didn't make it but she also hated playing along with this delusion. it couldn't possibly be healthy. " scotty, you smell fine considering you haven't had a shower in over a month. i don't think anyone here really cares. " at least they were all in it together, right ? " no bear is gonna be attracted by that perfume. they're attracted by food if anything at all. if there's bears here, you're not gonna get mauled because you smell like vanilla. "

This is far from the first time Leyla has spent the night under no cover but stars. Still, she hardly relished in the thought of doing it again, particularly with the way the noises of the jungle seemed keen to rattle her nerves. There's a bit of safety in numbers, that she knows, but it's only a small comfort of this new reality they've all been thrust into. Her eyes rolls in mild annoyance at the sound of another voice nearby, though Leyla does not deign to turn to them. "No." The one word reply is dripping in sarcasm, spoken so low that if it were not for the quiet that surrounds them, it would scarcely be heard. "You should be trying to sleep." Easier said than done, as evidence enough by the fact that Leyla as well remains awake. Still, she's always been better at dishing out advice than taking it. "The last thing we need are tired bodies dragging us down tomorrow."
just as she was about to give in and turn away, there's finally a response. though obviously meant to put her off, a smile creeps up on vanessa's features. she counts the reaction as a win, happily ignoring the sarcasm that came with it. " liar, liar ... " she eventually responds in the same hushed tone as not to wake anyone else or attract any unwelcome guests. despite the clear avoidance from leyla's side, vanessa's eyes stay fixed on the other. an amused huff escapes her lips. " i could say the same thing to you. " it had to be pointed out, it was begging to be pointed out. " why are you still awake ? and don't say it's because i'm talking to you. "
Vala had set themself up against a wide tree with plenty of exposed roots. Anything - or anyone - coming towards them would have plenty to trip over before they got to them. Their makeshift walking stick, really a glorified tree branch, stayed by their side, always within reaching distance. It wasn't necessarily that they didn't trust their group members, more that they didn't know them in the slightest.
As they settled their head back for one more futile attempt at sleep, a hushed voice caught their attention. They noticed their groupmate settled close by. Pretty. She could be an serial killer- Too many witnesses. They're asleep, dummy. Well, maybe that's a chance I'm willing to take, anyways. Looking around them, Vala searched for who they might be talking to. "Sorry, d'you mean me?"
it took a couple of moments until she finally got a reaction, almost worried they'd fallen asleep already and she would be left alone with her thoughts. exhaustion tugs on every last string of her body even though she was used to long hikes. she blames the irregular and mostly unbalanced meals for it. maybe a good night's sleep would help get her strength back but here she is, keeping not only herself but others up as well.
" yeah, i meant you. " vanny confirms as lips curl into a small smile, head tilted to the side and brown eyes fixed on the other. " vala, right ? what was your last name again ? "
Who knows what they would find wandering deeper into the jungles of this island. the vague direction is north, marking the way they had come so they would hopefully find their way back. after a full day of marching through uncharted territory, they found a safe-ish spot to camp for the night. wanting some privacy while not straying too far from each other, everyone set up their little area. leaned back against one of the huge trees, she found that while her body was exhausted, her mind didn't want to quiet down. then again, neither did the island.
after a while, her head turns to look at who had settled in not too far away from her. " hey. psst. are you still awake ? "
TATI GABRIELLE // have you seen VANESSA MASON around the crash site? we’re trying to make sure they’re still alive after the crash! according to the manifesto SHE/HER is a 26 year old CIS WOMAN. i hear they’re known being a RADIO HOST. VANESSA is also known to be LIVELY yet also IMPULSIVE at times. we have a couple questions for VANESSA when we find her, we heard something about a secret they might have? such as SHE HAD A MISCARRIAGE SOME YEARS AGO AND STARRED IN A COUPLE OF INFOMERCIALS DURING COLLEGE! (munchie, 25, gmt +1, she/her, erin's roommate!)
BASICS:
name: vanessa mason
nickname: vanny, van, nessie
age: 26
birthday: october 5th
zodiac: libra
gender & pronouns: cis woman ; she/her
sexual orientation: panromantic pansexual
occupation: radio host
education: high school ; bachelor in communication and radio broadcasting
spoken languages: english, spanish, korean
THE PAST:
vanessa has lived in san francisco her whole life with both her parents and an older brother. she grew up bilingual, speaking mostly korean with her mother.
she enjoyed a pretty normal childhood, was an extroverted kid and teenager
her parents always pushing their children to be ambitious and focus on their studies so they would have a good life later. her brother did go on to study medicine but by watching him, she already knew that's not the life she wanted to live but also didn't want to grow old in a 9 to 5.
her interest in music and technology had grown during her teen years which is how she decided on working for the radio station. combining that with her lively personality. her parents weren't all too happy about that but were still supportive nonetheless. at least, she was going to college, right?
so she enrolled to get her bachelor straight out of high school, moving onto campus. vanessa lived the life of a regular college student
during her sophomore year, she began dating a guy and they decided to make it official after a couple of months. the whole ordeal. sleeping over, meeting the parents, honeymoon phase.
that's also the period in time when she did a handful of infomercials next to normal jobs to help with student loans etc.
towards the end of her third year - at 21 - she found out she was pregnant which she reluctantly told her then-boyfriend. both of them undecided at first, they eventually decided they want to make it work.
however, vanessa miscarried during her 12th week of pregnancy which took a toll not only on her body and mental health but also their relationship. they broke up two months later.
she went on to get her bachelor's degree and soon after graduation got a job at a local radio station where she's been working ever since - for around four years at the time of the crash.
THE PRESENT & SURVIVIAL SKILLS:
vanessa was going on vacation. she had booked a walkabout / outback tour. as a big fan of the outdoors, she often went camping and hiking. she even took up climbing and diving in her late teens, giving her about eight years of experience at the time of the crash.
based on this, she knows her way around a forest, how to start a fire, building shelters, gathering water.
thanks to those hobbies, she has fairly high stamina and can hold her breath for a while.
SOCIAL:
she's always been a very outgoing person, an optimist at heart which has probably turned into her coping mechanism of 'hope dies last' after the crash.
she has no problem approaching people or reaching out if she sees they might need help. on the other hand, she's not that great showing her own emotions openly.
