A - Need a hand? [Being relatively new on the island, Shirley doesn't have a lot to pack or to leave behind. She doesn't feel like she needs much, anyway. She's spent enough time moving around or being moved around that she hasn't had much by way of possessions for a while now, even before being magicked onto this island.
That leaves her with several days to fill and few affairs to get in order, though, and in the end she needs something to do or else she's just sitting around feeling useless. It takes a while to work up the courage and seek others who might need help, but eventually she does. She isn't much if she isn't doing anything, after all. So she hangs around shyly near the area where the huts are lined up, and if anyone looks a little busy around here she might wave briefly to get your attention.]
Excuse me. Do you need help with anything? I know we're supposed to leave soon, so I can help with any preparations that still need to be done.
B - Testing, testing (closed to people who've threaded with Shirley previously) [And considering that, there is one thing Shirley wants to try and figure out before she leaves. She's still mulling over the power Genette mentioned to her upon her arrival and the things Stella said...has it been a month now? Shirley can't tell if that time feels long or short. But Shirley can't stop thinking about things like wishes and happiness, and what that's all supposed to mean. Eventually she chases her own thoughts in circles long enough to drive her out of silence. She's going to feel silly doing this, and she has a feeling she'll probably screw it up, but she needs to do this. Better to approach people she knows, at least, to avoid making that somebody's first impression of her.]
Can I ask you something? I want to see what my power is, but I think I need another person.
C - Lizard hunting! [Once word gets out about the lizards with medicinal mucus...well, it's a little gross but still potentially useful. Who knows where they're going, after all? If it could save someone in a pinch - well, Shirley's seen people die who didn't have to before. Even just the hope of prevention is more than worth braving something gross.
Unfortunately, she hasn't quite figured out exactly which rocks they live on yet and that seems like the best bet for grabbing some of the mucus. She has located one of the lizards, though so for now she's just following one of them semi-stealthily. How stealthy do you need to track a lizard, anyway?]
