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!]

Yeah, I know...but I mean, it was snowy and cold where I came from.

[collateraltsunage]

...Snow?

[Please explain]

[synchrownization]

Uh... [Whoa, whoa, she's never heard of snow? She must be from some warmer parts of the world or something.] It's frozen rain, but it's not ice. It's softer than ice.

[collateraltsunage]

Frozen... rain? Ice?

[THAT'S CRAZY TALK]

[synchrownization]

Uh, yeah... [He's getting nowhere fast.]

Doesn't it get cold where you come from?
