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:
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.

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.

OOC NOTES

[and now it's time for an aggressive fishing montage, I guess]
no subject
You're incredible, Flayn-san.
[ Once she seems like she's finished spearing fish. ]
no subject
[she looks pleased with herself and also with the pile of fish she has speared. they will eat well tonight.]
Ahh, that was invigorating... I am all fired up! Shall I catch more?
[no. they need enough fish in the river for the entire two weeks]
no subject
No, I think that will be enough. There's no way to preserve them for much later, so we must take this day by day.
no subject
[(thanos voice) the universe is finite, its resources, finite]
no subject
[ And any fish they can't finish eating in time.... will rot. ]
no subject
[shinobu is valid]
In any case, perhaps we ought to get these fish back where they can be cooked.
no subject
[ Time to handle these slimy and raw fish and make sashimi.
And cook the not sashimi over fire. Or however Flayn would like to handle them. ]
no subject
This seems like a good place to wrap it, though, unless you want to thread out Shinobu teaching Flayn about sashimi because please teach her to prepare raw fish, surely she can't mess that up too terribly...
(inb4 i have her kill someone with fugu)]
no subject
please kill shinobu with fugu ]
