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!]

[As long as Vash is here, Meryl really has no choice but to play along. This is the kind of thing he'd eat right up, and she, of course, has to make sure he doesn't destroy everything. Whether impossible kidnapping sites fell under her insurance clause or not]

My behavior is entirely appropriate. [She already did kick back, playing in the water and feeling up trees. That might be the best anyone could get out of her]

I doubt I'll get a chance to relax with that man around, anyway.

Have a little faith! [ he's really pushing the cheer on this one, but it's bleeding at the edges some. nobody'll get a chance to relax with that spiky-haired moron around, least of all him. ] Aren't you even a little interested to see what's gonna happen?

[ because Wolfwood is. he's so interested it's burning in his gut like cigarette smoke that went down the wrong way. maybe this is something Knives set up. or Legato—he wouldn't put it past that fucker to throw them into a hell disguised as an Eden. ]

[collateraltsunage]

Interested isn't the word I'd use. [More like she's dreading what he's going to get up to and the messes she will inevitably have to clean up. She can already feel a migraine coming on]

[That may be a side effect of talking to this man, on the other hand. Are they all competing for who irritates her most?]

And you?

[s2g]

Haven't figured it out yet. [ blandly ]

[collateraltsunage]

[What kind of answer is that!]

Is that so.

[s2g]

[ who knows! ] Yep.
