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!]

[ loitering at the back of the crowd, Wolfwood cuts a fairly imposing figure even without the cross strapped across his shoulders, pockets stuffed with waterlogged cigarettes, empty casings. there's nothing aggressive in his stance, only a taut wariness which winds up tighter at murder, loosens again, and then comes back worse still when that voice pipes up in his head.

isn't the first time he's had something like that happen. ]

How'd ya do this?

[islandiastaff]

It was very expensive!

[I hope you weren't hoping for more of an answer than that.]

[ as for "expensive"... makes it damn convenient they managed to snatch up the idiot outlaw with the $$60,000,000,000 head for this show of theirs. you bet your ass he ain't about to take murder-just-kidding at face value. ]

Yeah, I'm guessin' it was. So what's in it for you?

Billions of viewers are following along at home! If everything goes well, we're on track to be the most-watched show of the season!

That's exactly right! You get a shot at a wish, and the audience gets entertainment!

Wolfwood huh!s, and the brief part of his lips presents a lot of very white, sharp teeth, but not much good humour. ]

A wish. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
