I JUST WANT TO SURVIVE ─

amtransa airways flight 78 was supposed to be a routine flight from san francisco to sydney on december 31, 1999. 

the only concern of the crew at the time of takeoff was making sure to avoid possible stormy weather in the skies over the pacific ocean. oh, and the potential of the y2k crisis ! but things went wrong. the next thing passengers knew was the importance of their oxygen masks as they were released and the lifejackets beneath their seats as the water grew closer. 

pristine white sand was now littered with the wreckage from the plane, luggage, and their contents scattered. everyone was now an unwilling inhabitant of a deserted island full of mysteries & enemies. from missing passengers to abandoned operations buildings to creatures running amok. this island is not for the faint of heart !

TO GO HOME AGAIN ─

⌱ SYFYHQ is an 18+ adventure survival horror tumblr roleplay inspired by jurassic park , lost , sweetheart , and other survival media. this roleplay will explore different mysteries & various creatures while muses are stuck on a deserted island. the story begins with a plane crashing into the pacific ocean during the turn of the millennium and will only get wilder !

Elizabeth's Timeline

“Survivors aren't always the strongest; sometimes they're the smartest, but more often simply the luckiest.” —(click images to enlarge or read summary below the cut)

Jan 2000— The Crash

Ellie comes to on the beach with a cut on her forehead. No doubt caused by the fact that she was seated by the window. Aside from that, she has minor cuts and bruises and the left side of her body is really sore.

Jan 2000— Supply Scavenging

Ellie scavenges the wreckage for helpful supplies. She finds a pile of damaged luggage and salvages a black leather journal and pen, a cigarette lighter without fluid, clothes, mini alcohol bottles, and a book of crossword puzzles.

Jan 2000— Survivor's Guilt

Ellie has trouble sleeping for most of this month. Her soreness keeps her from being as active as she'd like and it keeps her up her first few nights on the island. Staying up really late and passing out from exhaustion is the only way she can get any rest. Whenever she does manage to sleep, she has flashback nightmares.

Feb 2000— Road To Recovery

Ellie forces herself to do daily exercises so her body and muscles don't atrophy from lack of movement. She slowly recovers from the bruising on the left side of her body.

Feb 2000— Survival Is Key

When the group is running short on supplies, they all agree to split up in search of anything that could be even remotely helpful in their survival. Ellie wants to join in and explore the island, however, she's still not fully recovered and realizes that she'd slow everyone down. She offers to stay behind with those who are still in recovery and helps create an S.O.S. sign. Idle hands lead to her securing their shelters' roofs by fashioning tarps out of destroyed luggage parts and clothing.

Feb 2000— Exploration 101

Once fully recovered, Ellie sets out on her own to explore their surroundings and begins mapping out safe trails and key locations. She uses tattered-up clothing to mark trees and paths. She writes as much detail as possible in her journal and has others join her on her daily walks.

Mar 2000— Rivers, Roads, & Trails

By now, Ellie has explored a good chunk of their surroundings and has created a map of what she's discovered. Her journal has this, as well as "travel times", suggested routes depending on terrain and hiking difficulty, and tips for foraging and breaks.

Notable Westcles Lake Facility routes and trails:

- The fastest trail to the Westcles Lake Facility is 80 minutes long. It's a semi-easy route. There are some elevation changes and an increase in forestation. - The easiest trail is almost 2 hours long and follows the shoreline, then cuts east inland— essentially avoiding any rough terrains. - Ellie's favorite trail is by far the longest: almost 3 hours! It goes east inland and then heads north towards the bottom end of the lake. The higher elevation of this route provides a wide variety of fruits and other edibles. * As you get closer to the lake, you can easily stumble upon remnants of old roads. Mother nature has slowly taken over these bits of land but, they are still pretty visible and easier to travel on when exploring the lake.

Notable Abandoned Outpost routes and trails:

- The fastest trail to the Abandoned Outpost is 60-90 minutes long. It's not the easiest of routes, as there is a steep elevation increase. But it's worth it. Head south towards the path laid out by the trees and at the end is where the climb begins. Once you're at the top, you can enjoy a break and take in the view from up top. The top of this hill overlooks the plane crash site, the base camp, part of the Westcles Lake, and more. The far north end is shrouded by fog for most of the day, but there are certain times when you can catch a glimpse of something flying in the distance. Head west towards the Outpost. - The easiest trail is 2 hours long and follows the shoreline, then cuts south. This route essentially avoids any rough terrain— consider it the 'scenic' route. * These travel times are based on Ellie and can obviously vary for a number of reasons such as injuries, low stamina, and age. Ellie would be the average here.

Mar 2000— Westcles Lake Facility

Ellie and Arden head to the Westcles Lake Facility. They discover a car close to the lake and near some Westcles Lily Pads. In trying to get the car door open, Ellie falls back and into the lake. She expected to feel cold and wet, but much to everyone's surprise, she was laying safely on a Lily Pad. Arden helps her back to land and Ellie confesses that she never learned how to swim due to her fear of large bodies of water. The two thoroughly search the car and load up on a bunch of loot. From a distance, they see a glimpse of Nessie. (@ardensocean)

Mar 2000— Nessie Lives!

Curiosity gets the best of her and she returns to Westacles Lake Facility a few times. On one occasion, she travels all around the lake with Lorraine. They catch a glimpse of Nessie's tail in the water, followed by a big splash. On another, she stays overnight to learn more about Nessie, and Chuck comes to find her the next day. They hear loud screeches north of the facility.

LOST: S1E1 (2004) Quotes! - trigger warnings: death, injuries, plane crash

Inspired by @syfyhq​

stay away from the gas! stay there!

hey you, just give me a hand! you, come on! come over here, give me a hand! on the count of three: one, two, three.

listen to me! look at me! you're going to be okay, do you understand me? but you have to sit absolutely still!

dude, I'm not going anywhere.

X. we need help with the fire. no-one will see it if it isn't big.

we must have been at about 40,000 feet when it happened. hit an air pocket. dropped, maybe, 200 feet. the turbulence was … I blacked out.

there's a chance we could find the cockpit. If it's intact, we might be able to find a transceiver. send out a signal, help the rescue party find us.

this of course breaks some critical FAA regulations.

it didn't sound like an animal. not exactly, I mean.

may I ask you something?

hey guys, is this normal? kind of ... day turning into night, you know? end of the world type weather. is this—guys?

I don't know if you want to go in there! there's too many bodies.

so, what does a transceiver look like?

we got separated! look, I … I fell down, and they, they came back for me, that thing was just…

okay, let's run.

go back? there? X, there's a certain gargantuan quality about this thing.

no. it was right behind me, but... I dove into the bushes.

guys? how does something like that happen?

[filmexpired]

in, in, out through the mouth. hippie breathing exercises.

what are you most excited to see at syfyhq?: i wanna ruin my character's life. but also i wanna see people try to kill each other. also the weird little character dynamics that only spending too much time together can bring. also I want at least one person to be convinced they can tame a monster
