week one: mingle

WEEK ONE
The sun rises on your third day on the island. The hours have passed almost seamlessly since your arrival, though it's difficult to say what time it truly is. The previously roaring sea has calmed to gentle, rocking waves and the weather is prime for taking a swim. Have you settled into your camps? Made a few friends? Perhaps now is the time to meet and greet those you haven't spoken to yet...it's not as if you'll be going anywhere anytime soon.

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:

"Welcome aboard. Your arrival is no mistake, and your will is your own. All of you have been brought to this island to partake in an ancient ritual. No more than ten of your own may leave this island alive; eleven of you must be prepared and offered as sacrifices to ensure the survival of these ten. If you run out of time, the outcome for all will be dire. You have two weeks' time before all shall be lost."


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 one! Congratulations on surviving the weekend, we're excited to get the game rolling!

At this time, characters are now free to further explore the island! All comments will be screened, but please be as thorough as possible in your requests.

On Wednesday, your modteam will post A THING that will impact all in-game. Stay tuned, and perhaps it's best to set your prompts for Monday and Tuesday...

...speaking of prompts, 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 weekend PCs to the appropriate subthread on the PC page, and please be sure to submit week one PCs as they're created! If you have not mass added everyone, please be sure to do so.

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!

That's pretty drastic.

[He smirks at that, though.]

Ah, but what if this is what the world is? What if we're in a place that's just this island and the ocean around it? Then the definition of "world" would be quite different in that case.

[ she laughs ]

What a tiny world!

But I still think that's not so bad. A couple people dying is different from the world gettin' destroyed completely!

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-04-27 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
The tiniest!

[IT'S A SMALL WORLD AFTER ALL.]

Well, if the world isn't going to get destroyed, does that mean you're going to help destroy it?

I don't think I'm supposed to do any of that. My powers aren't working, so whatever is happening must not need them!

I'm just a messenger - not even a deliverer!
wowcool: (8)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-04-28 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well, I guess we all have our roles. Mine is to figure out a murder. Yours is to deliver news of misfortune.

[A shrug.]

I guess we make do what we have, huh?
targon: (pic#13926123)

[personal profile] targon 2020-04-28 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

[ she likes her job! ]

You figure out murders? What's that like?

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-04-28 03:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't remember. [Thanks, Anaido.] I know I'm a brilliant detective! And I was in the middle of solving the murder of a woman named Kaeru. That's all I got.

[personal profile] targon 2020-04-28 05:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooooh. Mysterious!

So who did it? Tell me, tell me!
wowcool: (11)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-04-29 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Well...

[Annnnnnnnd FINGER-GUNS!]

I have no idea!! [WOW] Though most likely it was just the desert I was in. Haha!

[ANAIDO]

[ FINGER GUNS BACK!! ]

So it wasn't a murder at all?
wowcool: (5)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-04-30 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Well, technically it was if we consider why she was there in the first place. If someone put her in the desert on purpose so she would die there, then that would be a murder.

[personal profile] targon 2020-04-30 04:49 pm (UTC)(link)
What? No way, that doesn't count!
wowcool: (Default)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-04-30 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It does count. The killing intent is there.
wowcool: (2)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-01 05:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeahhhh. You threw them in an inhabitable place for them to die. It's like throwing someone in a pit of lions!
targon: (pic#13926140)

[personal profile] targon 2020-05-01 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Learn to fight lions, then.
wowcool: (11)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-01 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haha Zoe you're so silly.]

You say that like everyone has the capabilities to do so. A five year old child wouldn't be able to fight a lion, for example.
targon: (pic#13926132)

[personal profile] targon 2020-05-01 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohhh... I guess that's true.

Maybe they could make friends with the lions instead!
wowcool: (10)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-01 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Real life isn't a fairytale. Lions are wild animals. They might just view you as a good meal.
targon: (pic#13926142)

[personal profile] targon 2020-05-01 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
No way! They're just cute fwuffy wittle babies!
wowcool: (Default)

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-01 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe if they're small. If they're adults, they can rip your head off.

[personal profile] targon 2020-05-01 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You're no fun.

[personal profile] wowcool 2020-05-01 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha! [and he finger-guns because of course he does] Maybe I am!
