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!]

[Hisoka stands in the center of the trail, his hands on his hips as he surveys the surroundings.]

Hm? [Pulling out a Ace of Spades, Hisoka tosses it towards the stem of a papaya, catching the fruit in his hand.] These are nice and ripe. ♥

[AND THEN HE CRUSHES IT IN HIS HAND...]

[punchestumors]

[Oh goodie, just what he wanted to find in the jungle. A wild joker. What is he doing here?

Squish.

.... NO SERIOUSLY WHAT IS HE DOING.

Leorio feels compelled to slow clap.]

Well, you killed it. Good job, asshole!

[schwings]

[He licks some of the juice running down the back of his hand.]

It wouldn't be good to let ripened fruit spoil. ♠

[punchestumors]

We're out in nature, you know...

[if the fruit didn't get eaten it'd just do, you know, what fruit is meant for other than being eaten. Seeds and shit. Also that's gross how he's just licking it off his hand, who even knows where that's been.]

[schwings]

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

[punchestumors]

That's not the- [Rgggh. He knows it's not the point doesn't he. Whatever.]

I'm hoping there's not a need for that. Trail has to go somewhere.

[schwings]

[HE SURE DOES.]

It could be a dead end. Wouldn't that be funny? ♣

[ this guy looks like he got a little too much Gunsmoke mook put in him. Wolfwood's eyes track the card as it whipcords through the air, narrowed, sharp.

and then he feels his eyebrow tick. ]

Not hungry?

[schwings]

[He bites into the mess of fruit in his palm.]

Actually, I'm starving. This is just what I needed. ♣

[s2g]

[ watches... that.....

yeah, something's funny about this guy. little pale for somebody from No Man's Land, though. ]

Yeah, I guess so. [ he reaches into his pocket and pulls out a cigarette packet, but the entire thing is crushed and waterlogged. fan-fucking-tastic. ] You sure you wanna be crushing 'em?

[ seems like somethin' of a waste, and no self-respecting priest (ha) will stand for wasting food. ]

[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. ♦

[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?

[schwings]

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

What exactly defines normal, hmmm? ♥

[s2g]

[ questionin' your taste, tbh ]

Is that a real question or one of those what-if ones?

[schwings]

That's for me to know, and you to decide for yourself. Are you going to answer, or would you rather keep wasting my time? ♣

[Coy for life over here.]

[s2g]

Right, right. I hear ya.

[ he knows a "piss off" when he hears one ]

[schwings]

...♣ [He's waiting expectantly for something, silent and smiling.]

[s2g]

[ Wolfwood shrugs and slips his hands deep into his pockets. ]

Usually it involves not wastin' half of what you're eating. [ with that, he moves to brush past him, with a flippant wave over his shoulder to boot ] See you around, if ya don't starve yourself before then.

[schwings]

[He puts a finger curiously to his lips, smirking as Wolfwood walks away. He's also totally staring at his butt, sorry.]

I don't think I'll be starving anytime soon. ♥

[s2g]

[ priest with a booty that don't quit ]

[schwings]

[he will make the booty surrender]

[schwings]
