in the captain's chair

So, the island seemed to be up to some old tricks. Jim had to merely look out the window to know that something wasn't right. It didn't take more than seeing a pterodactyl in the sky to let Jim know that whatever had been affecting the island was getting worse.

He would have been more concerned but he had his own issues to deal with right now. Namely, that he was about to become someone's freaking pet so no one else would get hurt. Was that his first step in becoming just like his dad? If it was, well, he'd take it in this case. He couldn't really fault his father for sacrificing himself and saving so many. Maybe that was where he'd gotten the trait from.

Jim sighed and rubbed a hand over his tired eyes. Seemed like that decision was made already. He'd tried to think of other options but there didn't seem to be any. The only thing he could hope for is that maybe a dinosaur or some other angry thing out there would save him from his apparent fate.

But, if not...well, he'd deal. Somehow.

So, his plans with his girlfriend had fallen through because his girlfriend thought she was his boyfriend with a new name and memories that they didn't share. Jim had really hoped it was all island related and that he'd wake up today and have a message from her but no dice.

Jim had tried to hop a portal back to the island but, apparently, all portals to the island were down right now. He'd tried going somewhere else but nothing seemed to be outbound from Brazil so Jim, in essence, was stuck in the portalocity hub.

Sure, he figured he could have wandered around Brazil and found some fun but he was still ticked and maybe a little concerned that Natalie was actually in trouble and this Nathan guy was a con. Not likely but it was a concern.

All of that just meant Jim was camped out in the hub right now. He was propped up against his bag, phone out and legs stretched out in front of him while he played a game and waited for the portals to start working again. He'd give them a few more hours before he started hitchhiking back to the US.

Not that that would work for long but it'd give him something to do.
