The box had appeared in his hut the day before. Gideon had been on the island long enough to expect this shit - random gifts from this place or whoever ran it, with no rhyme or reason to it.

"You did just hear the part where I said I didn't even fucking start writing, right?" he asked. The guy had a couple of screws loose or something. "I'd post up sign ups if I ever get to it, for try outs."

Mostly. There were a few that he knew he could count on that didn't need to try out for him, but if he needed more than them, that was how it was going to work.
