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!]

But why wouldn't this be a beach?

[Iori tilts her head rather curiously, blinking several times at the younger girl.]

[skyentist]

[The girl pushes her glasses to her forehead and waves over to Robin.] Hi!

[livefreely]

One that's near a non-deserted island, clearly!

[He asked for it.]

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

A swimsuit, of course! A place like this, it'd be a waste not to work on a tan! Hahahaha! What about you?

[skyentist]

Because I'll want something to do scientific investigations with.

[It's what she lives for.]

[livefreely]

Eh? How can you be so sure?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

So there is! Wow, you're megas observant, Greg! Nice to meetchya!

Anyway, it's not so bad a place to wash up on, right?

[livefreely]

You think so? Do you want to try putting it back on the water to test it out?

[skyentist]

I don't know! But now we've proved it with science!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Well, I looked at an envelope, and it welcomed me to Islandia, and now I'm on an island! So that's gotta be the place, right?

[livefreely]

The fancy kind, hm? Sounds... fancy! Oh, right, introductions. I'm Nagase Iori, nice to meet you!

[zerotodoro]

Yes! They would be able to help us... uh most of them.

[scarfphiliac]

[His scarf, tbh. Though Ivlis being Ivlis, he's never going to admit that, so-]

It wouldn't matter because I would've been out of there already!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Wow, science really can prove anything! Hahahahahaha! Any idea where we are?

Re: THE BEACH

[zerotodoro]

I would've liked a little more warning myself. I wonder where this Islandia is on Pekopon.

[skyentist]

Not yet! But I'm going to figure it out with science!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Peko-whatsit?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Maybe you oughta look at the envelope first?

[sweetssuite]

[What the what. For being no stranger to strange things, Kanade Minamino is very, very confused at the moment. Picking herself up, dusting off her dress, she peers around quizzically.

She scrunches up her nose, shaking her head. First thing's first: Cure Module, check. Fairy Tones--] Re! Fa! [--also check, which leaves...]

...

[Snoring. Familiar snoring, that her eyes slowly track towards and-]

Hibiki Houjou! Are you serious?!

[fullonbraced]

Holy cow! [Robin was visibly excited at this.] So, you're an ALIEN?!

[livefreely]

True, the envelope did say "Greetings from Islandia", but how can we be sure that this is that?

[livefreely]

Beats me.

[She shrugs, looking rather carefree.]

Maybe we'll find out if we look around?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Well, where else could it be?

[fullonbraced]

[...Well you look like a nerd, and Robin is okay with that.]

... The trees are made of wood, man! But the boat is made of PLASTIC!!

[livefreely]

[.... She wants to say something to retort against that, but she has a feeling that's probably not a good idea.]

I guess so! My name's Nagase Iori, by the way. What's yours?
