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!]

Comments

[schwings]

Mmm... I guess you could call it a time-waster, at that point, right? ♦

[schwings]

Ah? Really? [He feigns ignorance.] I had no idea! I guess we'll be "roughing it" from now on. ♦

[schwings]

[He's licking his fingers too. THIS IS COMPLETELY SANITARY. Also he'll have you know he applied his make-up after drifting onto shore.]

Is there another way I should eat it? [He turns his hand over and drops the fruit onto the ground, shaking his fingers out.] I'd love a demonstration. ♦

[teethteethteeth]

Nope! I could basically eat everything on this island and still be hungry. But I'm used to being hungry so it's okay!

[teethteethteeth]

But anyways, if there's a fake shipwreck, that probably means this isn't that dangerous a situation.

[scarfphiliac]

Hmph, what a dumb wish.

[Not that his would be any better.]

Whatever. Name's Ivlis, don't know why my age matters, since I lost count after the first 500 years.

[scarfphiliac]

[He can't even comment on that- other people here have already said it, so he takes to simply leering at him.]

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Boooooo! Laaaaaaaaaaaaaame! Play the game properly ya jerk!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

That I gotta! Mmm! Wow, you are so totally right! This is the best!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

I'd love to! It's reeeeeeal complicated. But I think it made my friend Haruhi-nyan megas happy!

And Iori-chi it is! Hooray!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Okay! I'm gonna keep my heart real close to my chest just in case though! Pfft ha ha!

[livefreely]

That... was probably a bad mistake.

[livefreely]

Eh? Eh...? I've never seen them dancing or playing the trombone before, either! Weird...

[livefreely]

Maybe, but if you don't follow them, you'll prooobably get kicked off the island and you won't get your wish granted!

[part_time_overlord]

If the spies fall for a trick THIS simple, they deserve it.

[livefreely]

Ahhh, that's too bad. Maybe there's someone here that's met one, though... And then they can prove my theory!

[livefreely]

[Thank goodness Iori's not a cat, otherwise her curiosity would have killed her.]

But what kind of stuff? Can you see what's on the other side of the island?

[livefreely]

Sounds like fun. And I don't mind complicated; it just seems like it would be a nice story to hear, that's all.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

Nah, nothin' like that. [ Lazily brushing it off. ]

Trees are too thick for even my eyes.

[livefreely]

To be honest... I'd feel kind of sorry for them. They might have a really good wish in mind, after all.

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

How're intending to prove that? [ Expectantly waiting. ]

[livefreely]

[There's a slightly confused glance, but well then. It seems like there's a forest out there. On an island.

Huh!]

Do you have special eyes or something like that? Like maybe... 40/40 vision?!

[peoplediewhenikillthem]

[ Why. ] Nah, nothin' like that.

[ She repeats. ] You have any wilderness skills, girly?

[s2g]

[ SKETCH AS FUCK. Wolfwood deigns not to take the bait, but that doesn't stop the rudeness from flowing, like all that water spread out behind him. ]

I dunno, like a normal person?

[s2g]

[ for a second, he sounds less saccharine, more brooding (tm): ] Yeah.

[ but it passes and he's back almost instantly to grinning, casual, fakey faker priest. the image of a bus on the horizon and the Punisher hot against his spine in the back of his mind. ] But we've had stranger. Besides, I don't mind gettin' away from that desert for a while.

[ actually, he does. he minds it a whole lot. Gunsmoke's little more than hell wrapped up in godforsaken barren packaging, but it's where he needs to be. where Knives and the Guns still are. but as long as Vash is here, Wolfwood needs to be here, too. ]
