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!

EEK!

[don't mind flayn whirling around and stabbing through him with her sharp stick.]

[She stabs through the left side of his intangible chest and, honestly, his heart aches.]

Waka!

[there's no give at all. she yanks the stick back, backs up a few steps, and points it at him, ineffectual as it has already proven to be.]

Who - or should I say what - are you?!

[He brings his hands up on either side of his head in surrender, though his smile betrays how seriously he's taking the threat of her pointy stick.

Since she asked, he kindly answers.]


Waka! Wakawaka. Wakawakawaka. Waka?

[hm.]

...I apologize. I do not believe I speak your language, Sir Waka.

[He carries on jovially with his hands still up in the air, though they start to sag by the word (or is it sound?).]

Wakawaka. Waka, wakawakawakawaka. Wakawakawaka? Wakawaka, wakawakawaka, wakawaka? Waka, wakawakawakawakawakawaka!

...

[yeah, she really has no idea what he's trying to say, and her confusion is written all over her face]

I still cannot understand you.

Waka.

[His hands drop and he shrugs before waving mildly at the stick in Flayn's grip.]

Wakawaka? Waka, wakawakawaka. Wakakwakawakawakawaka.

Eh?

[She has no idea why he's waving at her stick.]

...if someone corporeal sneaks up on me, I will use this to defend myself. [maybe he's asking what it's for??? she doesn't know, man.]

[His hand comes to a stop by the stick, which he pretends to pinch between his index finger and thumb as he inspects the length. He nods in apparently approval, humming a soft waka.

Then his eyes flit to Flayn, and there's a glint in them as his lips stretch into a wider, still easygoing smile.]


Wakawakawaka.

[He unfurls his fingers before clamping down on the stick. His non-corporeal form phases through it, and that's when he begins fading himself.]

Waka.

[uh - well, he's definitely starting to look a little more see-through]

Are you leaving...?!
patisse: (01)

[personal profile] patisse 2020-05-06 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[He sure is. A strange series of wakawaka slip through his teeth—a chuckle—before he vanishes entirely.]
