week two: mingle

[getawaymods]

WEEK TWO

The sun rises after a treacherous weekend on the island. The hours have passed almost seamlessly since your arrival, though it's difficult to say what time it truly is. You've buried the dead and mourned for them. You've formed alliances and staked your claims. You've survived another week...isn't that what counts?

Regardless of how you spend your morning, as the sun reaches the highest point in the sky all will begin to hear a low, deep thrumming sort of sound. The humming slowly turns into ringing, a drawn-out signal that grows louder and louder until it seems as though all other sounds on the island fall to a hush.

It's then all will hear an unidentifiable voice:

"Ah...so glad to see you alive and well. Your numbers are dwindling, but perhaps not fast enough. You have one more week before all shall be lost. Eleven sacrifices must be made to ensure the survival of those remaining. Extensions will not be granted.

Oh...and one more thing. One of you has played your part well to orchestrate the ritual. I do wonder what would happen if you were caught? Perhaps you will find out soon...if they catch you."

Just as quickly as it came, the announcement comes to a close. No matter how hard one searches the island, it will be impossible to locate the source of the announcement. But don't let that stop you. Maybe it's time for a deeper exploration? Make the best of your daylight hours.

After all...when the night falls, things may be a little different. Watch your backs, everyone.

OOC NOTES

Welcome to week two! Congratulations on surviving the weekend, and welcome to the final week!

At this time, characters are free to further explore the island! Please use the Week 2 header for all Week 2 requests. All comments will be screened, but please be as thorough as possible in your requests. We also ask that if you change anything in the setting, please report it here.

On Wednesday, your modteam will post A THING that will impact all in-game. Stay tuned.

Much like last week, please specify if your prompts are in the day or during the night on this mingle! This may be in your header, or you may specify in your comment itself. There may be a fun surprise or two waiting for you.

And finally, please be sure to submit any week one PCs to the appropriate subthread on the PC page, and please be sure to submit week two PCs as they're created!

Please feel free to ask questions in the question channel on Discord, or you may DM Britt & Ty privately. We will also have announcements regarding curfew and body announcement on Thursday and Friday. Thank you, and have fun!

[(mysterious voice ... voice) blood for the blood gods]

What reason are you thinking of, Neena?

[lacking]

... They want to dissuade any sort of cooperation, by planting the idea that there's a traitor among us. Even if we don't kill each other before our time is up, they'll have won anyway if we're too busy doubting each other to find another way.

[fishingforcompliments]

[oof]

...yes. I do worry that this may be the case.

[lacking]

[... She sighs.]

We have to do the opposite of what's expected from us. I don't see any other way...

[fishingforcompliments]

...I would rather cooperate with each other than cooperate with the voice, in any case.

[lacking]

So would I.

[fishingforcompliments]

I am glad we are in agreement, Neena.

[lacking]

[... She smiles.]

Let's work together to find our way off this island, without giving into their demands.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes! That sounds absolutely wonderful.

[get BENT, mysterious voice]

[lacking]

Right? First order of business, find the jerk responsible for all of this.

[fishingforcompliments]

Second order of business: teach them a lesson they will not soon forget!

[lacking]

Absolutely. Let this be the last time they toy with other people's lives.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes. By the time we are done with them, they will sorely regret this.
