DAY 0 - Morning

[islandiastaff]

[Good morning, contestants!

One moment, you were receiving a mysterious envelope marked "Greetings from Islandia". The next moment, you're waking up on a beach.

Twenty-four people are scattered across the sands of a beautiful tropical beach, all somewhere in the middle of waking up. To your right, a sunrise over a gentle sea. To your left, dense, vibrant jungle.

There are two signs of civilization here! One is a shipwreck, about half of a good-sized ship emerging morosely from the waves. The other is a wooden sign at the edge of the jungle, showing simply an arrow pointing deeper into the island. Looking a bit closer, there is a narrow but well-maintained path into the jungle.

Welcome to Islandia!]

Nice to meet ya! Bet you're a real heart-stealer, eh? Hahahaha!

[islandiastaff]

"G.O.D" stands for "G.O.D Over Dozada!" That's the name of the Multiverse you're all from, in case you didn't know!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Wow, you must live, like, megas inland or something. So? Whatchya think?

[livefreely]

G.O.D Over Dozada... that's a pretty funny name, for a multiverse.

[collateraltsunage]

I've never seen so much water....

It's incredible!

[fullonbraced]

Right! Let's doooo this!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Drink in that sea air, then! Never know when you're gonna gets another chance at it. I'm Tsuruya, by the way! And you?

[fullonbraced]

[EQUALLY DRAMATIC POINT]

But I wasn't signed up for this, man!

[punchestumors]

[Leorio nods. Sounds reasonable, giant sideburns guy.]

You've got a point... still, it's kind of suspicious the sign is blank. It's just one surprise after another here.

[collateraltsunage]

[Okay she's finished marveling over the water (for now), or enough to notice there's other stuff going on]

[She's still standing on the beach, rather than wading on the water]

A toy boat? What do you mean?

[fullonbraced]

I know, right?!

[carptricks]

[makes the FLATTEST, MOST UNIMPRESSED EXPRESSION at "murder" but it lightens up a bit when the explanation hits]

Wait. . . if this is some kinda game show, that means we've got an audience to impress. Right?

1/2

[GONNA REACH DOWN AND TOUCH THAT WATER]

[WOAH]

[collateraltsunage]

[Then clears her throat and remembers herself!]

My name is Meryl Stryfe and I represent the Bernadelli Insurance society. [STIFF MUCH, GIRL] It's... nice to meet you, Ms. Tsuruya.

[zerotodoro]

Wait - What?!

How come I was chosen? No one ever picks me, Sergeant Keroro-Dono or Corporal Giroro-Dono always get picked for this.

What would I even wish for?!

[carptricks]

Whoever "they" are.

It'd sure make up for the whole "waking up on an unfamiliar beach with no recollection how you got there" thing.

[islandiastaff]

Careful, careful! You can't expect me to reveal all my secrets so easily!

[carptricks]

[extends his hand and snaps his fingers, pulling a bright yellow rose out of thin air]

Now now, wouldn't it be rude to steal someone's heart without their permission?

[he totally likes to think he is but in reality he's a huge loser]

[islandiastaff]

There used to be two of them, called Dozaro and Dogoda, but then they had a merger to cut back on costs!

[fullonbraced]

Help me out over here! This thing is really heavy, man!

[Like, wow. Plastic is supposed to be lighter then this.]

[part_time_overlord]

I read a lot of Shounen Jump.

[livefreely]

Maybe not, but it's the first thing I could think of! Besides, I'm pretty sure she would be able to think of a better way out of this scenario that I could.

[ Not that she's degrading herself as she shrugs, she just thinks that Inaban is more suited for that. ]

And of course! It's surprising that there's so many of us here, don't you think?

[islandiastaff]

That's exactly right! All of this is being broadcast live in front of an audience measuring in the billions!

[livefreely]

As long as it's not a murder mystery, I think we'll be fine.

[She laughs rather nonchalantly.]

Nagase Iori. It's nice to meet you, Tsuruya-chan.

[wildrhythm]

We're all in this together, so we should get to know each other, right?

I'm Hibiki Houjou, age fifteen! I'm here from Kanon Town, along with Kanade! As for my wish...

[EXCITEMENT]

I'm going to wish that I could eat as much cake as I want, and never gain weight or have health problems!
