Leslie stopped, and it looked like his brain short-circuited. “I’m where?!? Last he remembered, he was in bed at home. How on Earth did he — and his kid — get here?
Though Leslie was more than a little shocked at Gema and Marie’s news, he snapped out of it a little bit when he saw Julian approach. “Oh, hi. I’m uh, Leslie. Do all of you guys” he gestured at Gema, Marie, and Julian, “know each other?”
Gema: Sort of. We've been on this island for a while... did you, when you *gestures to the water* abandoned ship so to speak, spot any other boats... anywhere?
Leslie paused, thinking for a moment. "I...I don't know. All I remember is my wife putting Lyra to bed, and then we went to bed too." He frowned, "...and then I was nearly drowning in the ocean. I didn't see any boats."
Gema: Wait... say that again?
Leslie: "My wife put the baby to bed, and not too long after we went to bed too. It was nighttime. And the next thing I knew, I was nearly drowning in the water off the coast here."
Gema: Are you saying you accidentally jumped into an alternate reality?
Julian: *raises an eyebrow* An alternate reality?
"Wha..what do you mean?" Leslie's voice quivered, "Alternate reality? Do those really exist?" In fact, Leslie sounds rather terrified by Gema's suggestion.
Lyra's getting squirmy.
Gema: Seriously. You two don't know about the portals?
Julian: Portals?! ¡Dios Mio!
Gema: *Mutters swear word under breath* There are portals on our property at home that can lead to a different reality. I'm gathering you accidentally walked through one, Leslie.
Julian: *sighs* Well, it's not the weirdest thing I've heard in my life, but it's close.
Marie: *Finding her voice*... what... was the weirdest thing... you've heard?
Julian: Man-eating alien plants and the like. I didn't personally experience it though. My friends have far more interesting lives than me and I'm famous.
Marie: You're famous?
Julian: Yeah, I'm a singer.
Gema: What do you sing?
Julian: Pop and Jazz, mostly.
Gema: Oh. What songs are you known for?
Julian: Hmm... I guess "Down". Or "Who's Gone".
Gema: Ohh, I love Down. Really spoke to me when I was a teenager.

Gema: *to Leslie* Take Lyra to shade. The monkeys can get quite viscous.
He finally snaps out of it. Leslie doesn't need to told twice! He stumbles up, and runs as fast as he can without falling over (the crash-landing he had has really taken its toll on him and he's quite tired).

Leslie booked it, soon out of sight of the other people and the monkeys. He reached the other side of the island, where the tree and fruit crate were (and whatever else anyone had left there). It was getting chilly, and Leslie knew his adrenaline rush was going to drop soon. It had been nearly two decades since Leslie had quit scouts, but at least the few things he remembered from those days were useful. It took him a little longer as he was holding Lyra in one hand, but Leslie, combed the beach for driftwood. Not much later, Leslie was able to get a small fire going. Fantastic!
Leslie is sitting down next to the fruit crate and in front of the fire, Lyra on his lap. He's trying to get her to eat some of the food he found in the crate.

*Haru & Azumi wash up on the shore. It takes Haru a minute to come to, and he's frantically spitting out sand and seawater when he does, having washed up face-down. He weakly drags himself to his feet and looks around for the rest of his friends... And starts to worry when he sees no sign of them.*
Haru: "H-hey, Azu-chan, I don't see anyone! What's going on? Azu-chan? Hey, wake up! Are you okay?"
*He waves his hands in front of her face, and when that doesn't work, starts lightly shaking her*
Haru: "No no no, no! Come on, wake up!"
*He takes some deep breathes, trying to compose himself*

Gema: *to Leslie* Take Lyra to shade. The monkeys can get quite viscous.
He finally snaps out of it. Leslie doesn't need to told twice! He stumbles up, and runs as fast as he can without falling over (the crash-landing he had has really taken its toll on him and he's quite tired).
Lyra watches Gema from over Leslie's shoulder.
Julian: *sighs* Some island. I really don't know much more than you do, Kat.
Katrina: Don't call me that.
Gema: *takes a potion out of her pocket and throws it at the monkeys* stay away!
Leslie doesn't look back, but Lyra's still watching Gema.
Leslie booked it, soon out of sight of the other people and the monkeys. He reached the other side of the island, where the tree and fruit crate were (and whatever else anyone had left there). It was getting chilly, and Leslie knew his adrenaline rush was going to drop soon. It had been nearly two decades since Leslie had quit scouts, but at least the few things he remembered from those days were useful. It took him a little longer as he was holding Lyra in one hand, but Leslie, combed the beach for driftwood. Not much later, Leslie was able to get a small fire going. Fantastic!
Leslie is sitting down next to the fruit crate and in front of the fire, Lyra on his lap. He's trying to get her to eat some of the food he found in the crate.
Katrina: *sigh of resignation* Might as well be useful. *finds a stick and starts hitting the monkeys with it*
Haru: "H-hey, Azu-chan, I don't see anyone! What's going on? Azu-chan? Hey, wake up! Are you okay?"
*He waves his hands in front of her face, and when that doesn't work, starts lightly shaking her*
Haru: "No no no, no! Come on, wake up!"
*He takes some deep breathes, trying to compose himself*
*Katrina doesn't notice them*
Julian: *turns around* Hello?
Chloe: hi I’m chloe welcome to the island where you can’t get out!
