Hmm...I think we arrived at the same time, but not exactly together.

[it takes him a moment to pull it from his memory--their initial start was such a crazy affair that it feels like a blur.]

When a bunch of us first arrived we were on an island floating in space--I know it sounds weird, but that's the only way I know how to explain it. We were in different places on the mountain, and started running into each other when we headed for the beach. That's when I ran into him. A few other people have friends from home around, but not everyone. And...people from home can vanish just as fast as they come, too.
