I Believe That The Heart Does Go On

Hello James,
When is Igor coming to africa??

Hello Mr Lawrence,

I am very worried about Igor. I don't know when he'll arrive in Africa... I don't even know if he's still alive!

About a week ago, the ship he was stowed away in sent a distress signal that was picked up by the YMCA Royal Navy. It appears that the ship encountered heavy storms on the way to Africa and crashed against some rocks. Many died or disappeared under the waves; Igor was one of the few that survived (his morse code was sent from the captain's cabin just before he jumped out of the window and managed to land in one of the dinghys.) Unfortunately, he lost all of the Virgin statues with the gold coins, apart from one stuffed down his trousers (maybe it's enough for a down payment on your property, if he gets there?) The gifts for the security guards were also lost.

About a few days ago, I received a text message from his mobile phone. It appears that the survivors of the ship found an island off the African coast and are currently there. All attempts on my part to locate the exact position of the island, however, have been futile - it's as if the place is off the maps! He was in high spirits until this morning, when a distressing message arrived together with a mobile photo: "They all died. Please help me. I'll try to make it to the second island in a boat I found. They killed them, the Others killed them all..."

As you can imagine, I'm deathly pale with worry. I sincerely hope he manages to make it to Africa and buy the land for me, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I fear the worst.

Attentiously yours,

James Carvalho

ROFLMAO

The photo continuity makes it perfect.

Now I just need to get a photo from Igor when he meets the Others.

Um, that was me. Not Anonymous.

Lol. I like the one of Igor in the jungle. I bet he's looking at Kate skinny dipping.

Fantastic, I love the way you've included elements from "Lost" and the photo, well that's just priceless. Although I'm actually surprised you didn't say the ship had been attacked by pirates.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a big chance that Igor will run into pirates when he figures out a way of getting out of the island - pirates that are actually the Others!

A story arc... my word you have been thinking this through! ;-)

Thoroughly enjoyable, can't wait for the next instalment.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 01:29 pm (UTC)(link)
If there's another installment, I'll be very suspicious of who is Mr Lawrence!!

hahaha, the imagery that this conjures up

just before he jumped out of the window and managed to land in one of the dinghys


is beyond amazing.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Igor constantly surprises me.

[identity profile] nisaba.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
I believe you're a legend.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I believe you mean Igor. I shall pass it on to him if I'm lucky to see him again!

[identity profile] millionreasons.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 12:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope the smoke monster doesn't get him.

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 01:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you sure? I'd think you'd want Igor chewed up by the smoke monster!

[identity profile] millionreasons.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe he'll shot by his own mother?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-07 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Or find himself working with his dead father.

[identity profile] kixie.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 02:06 pm (UTC)(link)
*laughs*

Can Igor be judged by the smoke monster? I'd be curious to see what flashes before his eyes.

You know, that whole 'my heart will go on' thing. I've always envisioned a bunch of hearts just...sort of floating there, rotting in time after the bodies have died and disappeared. LIke, 'my heart will go on'....just hanging around, decomposing, being a nuisance to pedestrians. Horrible song title, if taken literally...

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 02:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I think of "my heart will go on" as a type of Terminator - unstoppable and kinda scary!

Igor could probably avoid being judged by the smoke monster if he agrees to steal babies for Ben.

[identity profile] kixie.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
...and now I'm imagining the entire song sung in Arnie's Terminator voice, ending with "Hasta la vista, baby". That would be SO COOL.

I can't see Igor taking to John Locke very well. I bet Igor would plot with Ben to kill him again. And again. I wonder hwo many times Ben will try that before he realises that it's just not gonna work?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Igor would plot with Ben while secretly being in alliance with that third group, the "shadow of the statue" folk. Maybe Ben will just cross his fingers and hope someone else does the dirty on Locke.

[identity profile] kixie.livejournal.com 2009-05-06 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I think he realises that the Island will totally bitchslap him to itty bitty pieces if he tries to kill Locke again. He looked a bit, er, scared, last time we saw him.

Yes, Igor would be in alliance with them, and probably with Charles Widmore as well.

Ollie, once again, let me say...you rock!
And I cannot believe they are still trying to get the money?
Jesus, how stupid is this person?

[identity profile] commonpeople.livejournal.com 2009-05-07 10:33 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's someone who doesn't know English well so is not quite understanding what's going on. But yeah, they really really really want Igor's gold coins.

[identity profile] dilvsy.livejournal.com 2009-05-07 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
unless they are playing along to see how far you'll continue

lol
