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!]

[More like the hairstyle, goofy expression, and glasses...]

There doesn't seem to be anywhere else to go.

[punchestumors]

I guess there's no choice then... other than staying put and trying to hail a plane. I think it's at least worth checking out.

[collateraltsunage]

There is no need to worry. We'll stay together and if a problem shall arise, I'll take care of it.

[She's like 5'2"....]

[punchestumors]

You will, huh? Got a weapon with you?

[Curious, but he is best friends with some badass tiny twelve year olds so whatever. A short girl kicking ass would not be unheard of.]

[collateraltsunage]

[She's got fifty weapons, actually]

I am prepared for hostile situations, yes.

[punchestumors]

Heh. Well, that could come in handy! Thanks, sister!

[Not that Leorio couldn't handle himself against anything in there, but no sense turning down help.]

[collateraltsunage]

It's Meryl, actually. Meryl Stryfe of the Bernadelli Insurance Society. [Because that's relevant, right?]

[Nope]

Shall we, mister....? [Insert your name here]
