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!]

Not with a wish on the line!

[exfired]

Specific? Pretty sure I was just describing the situation at hand. [shrugs] Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not in the habit of mass-kidnapping.

[axel u might consider attempting to not sound like everything is hilarious. no? no ok well you didnt even try at all]

[exfired]

I think most extras in movies aren't brought in by force, though.

[teethteethteeth]

It could be some kind of surprise TV thing. Like candid camera stuff but with kidnapping. Though they've got real resources if they can block off my true body.

[collateraltsunage]

I wasn't referring to that. [Even though you are shady as fuck] If you were, I expect we wouldn't be speaking like this. [But!!]

If you know something, now is the time to share.

[exfired]

[axel. sharing. thats adorable. but even if that wasn't hopes and dreams, axel unfortunately has 0 clue. :(]

Honestly? Biggest thing I gotta share is saying this whole thing is iffy is putting it mildly.

[exfired]

I'm not sure "candid camera but with kidnapping" is something I'd call "not dangerous", man.

[s2g]

Until some other option crops up.

[collateraltsunage]

I see. [She kind of wonders what said option would entail]

I suppose we have no other choice at this point.

[collateraltsunage]

[Sometimes, she dares to dream]

Yes... "Iffy." [Iffy.. god... use your big boy words, Axel. She clears her throat!]

If we're going to investigate, I suppose we'll have to start with this.. toy boat.

[exfired]

Well, there's always the dark an' creepy jungle over there, but I figured I'd start off small and work my way up.

[featherduster]

[ Backpedaling on auto-pilot, which puts him further into the water, which causes him to sway dangerously at least once as the wet sand shifts beneath his boots. It might be wise to beware of tipping giants. ]

Whoa, hey, this isn't fair! Why blame me?! I didn't do anything, I swear!

[ Aside from open a sketchy letter but

Pot

Kettle ]

[teethteethteeth]

You're right, I was just looking on the brighter side.

[collateraltsunage]

[As he sways, a small hand shoots up to grab the front of his duster. Apparently she can't tesist any longer]

[With any luck (not that he has much) he'll stay upright]

A likely story! What have you done this time? Where is this? Why are we here?!

[So what if she opened the same sketch letter, this is obviously different!!]

[s2g]

[ take a guess.

Wolfwood's got his doubts there was ever much choice. or even the illusion of choice. everything's come across as pretty damn railroaded so far. ]

You could stand to kick back a little. [ a little. she's small but she's a firecracker, and she knows how to keep an eye out. ] Loosen your collar.

[schwings]

[AH BUT THE RUDENESS IS THE MOST CHARMING PART... Hisoka is okay with this.]

What exactly defines normal, hmmm? ♥

[candyrocks]

That is weird! I hope you get to see a frog band someday!

[punchestumors]

I guess there's nothing to lose... I think we oughta go in a group though. That way no one gets left on the beach wondering where the hell everyone else went.

[livefreely]

Farewell, boat! Sayooooonara!

[Maybe the boat will live a happy life.....]

[livefreely]

That's true. But I'm just hoping that an evil wish isn't granted... you know?

[poetryandclarinet]

Build a boat? [He looks around, to see if there's any good materials for a boat. And spots the shipwreck in the distance. It looks in good shape from here, maybe they could fix it up easily!]


Greg, wait. Do- do you see that boat over there? Maybe we can just use that one. [He stands up and brushes himself off a bit.]

[poetryandclarinet]

Oh. Yeah, I guess we should. [He actually doesn't really care about the others, but if this guy says they should wait, then they should wait.]

[livefreely]

Maybe someday! But for noooow, I guess I'll have to wait.

[poetryandclarinet]

Well good try, I guess. With wishes on the line, I can't really... see them wanting to get found so easily.

[candyrocks]

Oh yeah! Isn't that a shipwreck, though? I thought if it was a shipwreck, it'd just sink again! I guess that's why you're the Captain...
