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!]

[Who's this guy? Greg, clutching his frog in his own arms, is watching him interestedly.]

Hi! What's your name? I'm Greg!

[zerotodoro]

Ah-?

[A Pekoponian child, so he wasn't alone on the island. And a frog - harmless creatures, though their croaking sounded close enough to Resonance that it always throws him off guard. He shakes off his inital confusion and starts bowing, eyes closing]

I am Dororo. It is a pleasure to meet you Greg-Dono. I do not suppose you know where we are located at present?

[candyrocks]

Nope! No clue!

[But he says it pretty cheerfully. He doesn't really seem to be phased by Dororo's appearance or his bowing.]

So you don't live here?

[zerotodoro]

[He suppose it's good that Greg seems to be unphased by the circumstances, calmness would suit the task of escaping then fear or panic]

That is correct, last I recall I was in my home in the country you Pekoponians call Japan, and then I found myself here. I suppose the story is the same with you, Greg-Dono.

[candyrocks]

Oh, nope! I wasn't in Japan at all! Actually, I've never been.

[zerotodoro]

Well... I mean just suddenly waking up somewhere completely different.

[candyrocks]

Haha, oh. Yeah! Me too! But it's nice here!

[zerotodoro]

Yes - far as places to be, there could be far worse.

[The humidity was close to Keron's, and while the sea was salty - those green foliage would suggest plenty of fresh water somewhere, and with that - possibly food.

There might be dangerous animals, but he'll have to scout the area]

We should see if there's anyone else who wound up here.

[candyrocks]

Okay! Do you want to come looking with Cornelius and me?

[This person? Frog? Whoever he is, he seems smart. But being by yourself in a strange place isn't very fun. Greg's lucky to have his frog, but he doesn't want to leave someone else alone.]

[zerotodoro]

[He nods]

Yes - that's a good idea, let's start searching the beach. Chances are we might find someone we know.

[Or least that's how it's been for the Ninja]

[candyrocks]

Hey, yeah! Like Beatrice, or Wirt even! Or maybe your friends, too!

[zerotodoro]

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

[candyrocks]

Really? Do you think your friends will know where we are?

[zerotodoro]

Probably not, but they would know a way of leaving the island... or make it a better place to live, depending on the situation.

[candyrocks]

Your friends know how to go home? That's perfect!

[Perking up EVEN MORE.]

Let's go find them, okay? And then I'll figure out the way home, and I'll be a good leader!
