"Stupid— piece of crap—"

Not a morning person on the best of days, when Sawyer woke up to some unknown weight blocking his door, he again began to consider the potential merits of packing it all up and moving into the Compound. However depressing the building was, it at least offered reliable air conditioning, and the bolts of the doors weren't the type to expand in the rain or creak from too much rust. His door jammed, and frequently, the hut initially chosen because Sawyer was too damn impatient to wait for the Building Crew to give him a new place all his own, and later on, too damn lazy to pack up his stuff to move from one spot to another. But there was something different about the resistance the door put up today. Shoving his shoulder against the wood almost made it... bounce.

Strange.

Briefly considering rounding the hut to climb out the window, Sawyer gave his door one last, lengthy shove, until he felt something skidding against dirt, slipping through the cracked opening, only to stumble, his hands grabbing onto something that felt distinctly familiar. Almost like heavy-duty shrink wrap. The sound of ruffling papers fluttered in the distance, and pages upon pages spilled out over the dirt in any number of brilliant colors, with cars, trucks, and SUVs on each cover.

But, aside from a moment's confusion as to why it looked like every issue of Car and Driver magazine had appeared on his doorstop, what drew Sawyer's attention the most was a heavy pallet of toilet paper blocking entrance to his home. Toilet paper.

Charmin's, looked like.

"The hell?"


[ Yes, that's right. All of Car and Driver magazine has turned up on Sawyer's doorstep. As well as a year's supply of Charmin's best toilet paper. This post is dated January 25th, but will be linked to the main comm in February. ST/LT welcome, no limit on tags, open to all. ]

Walking up to his hut, I've just kinda been standing here. Staring. Since before he even started trying to shove his way outside. I guess I should've helped.

Oops.

"What the fuck?"

"Standin' here," I admit with a crooked grin, a shrug and a half-assed, "Sorry."

Leaning down to pick up one of the packages of toilet paper, I arch a brow and say, "At least it's the good stuff."

Not the shit Mom used to buy. Barely one-ply and sold in bulk. She'd even snatch rolls from the bathroom at her work, sometimes, when things were really tight.

"That your ass is in need of some tender, loving care?" I guess, flashing him a bullshit grin and tossing the package in my hands at him, making sure that cheerful little cartoon bear on the front is facing him.

"This is fuckin' weird, man. And I got a cow, once."

"I don't even know what the fuck that's supposed to mean," I admit, bending down to riffle through the stack of magazine's left for him, too.

He's right. This is seriously fucking weird.

"Don't look at me, man. I don't get this place, half the fuckin' time. Maybe Santa got your wishlist mixed up with somebody else's."

"Right, 'cause you really need help with that whole angry redneck holed up in his hut with his guns thing you got goin'," I say, rolling my eyes.

He's right. This sucks. It feels weird, being this angry at the island for something like this. Something that seems like a prank, but I don't understand why the rest of us get something we like, and he's just left being pissed off.

If I'm being honest, what I want is to see him happy. Just for... fuck, for five minutes. Five minutes'd be nice.

Shifting my weight from foot to foot, I say, "You need help? Movin' it or whatever."

"That doesn't make you sound like any less of a creepy hermit, you know," I point out, taking the packages he hands over to me. If I didn't know it's probably just make him angrier, I'd be laughing, right about now.

This is just fuckin' weird, even for this place.

Doing what he says and tossing them into the hut, I say, "So, how'd you do it? Con 'em outta their guns, I mean."

"No, you didn't tell me," I laugh, and I can't help but grin back at him, 'cause he looks so goddamn proud of himself. He doesn't talk a whole lot about that other island, and I've never pressed him about it. Still, it's good to know there's at least a few things about it that'll make him smile.

"Aw, come on, man. I think you're a fuckin' pleasure to be around."

"Dude, I'm pretty fuckin' sure they had sense enough not to elect me," I point out, giving him a look. And yeah, he's right, I've got a thing for assholes, but I'm not sure I'd call him cuddly.

"So, what, did you stuff it? Put it up on your wall?" Okay, maybe I'm fucking with him, now, but he's seriously proud of that and I can't help but find it a little bit funny.
