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!

For the greater good, whatever that may be. Even if others don't, or won't, understand it. [...] But there's no guarantee that's what this is. We hardly have any information to go off of in the first place.

What sort of greater good could possibly be served by...

[her voice trails off, and she shakes her head, frustrated]

...I am sorry. I ought not to take my frustrations with this situation out on you.

It's alright. [She really doesn't seem to mind.] I think almost all of us are a little frustrated right now. We just have to approach this as calmly as we can. It's the only way.

You won't be alone at least. Others will probably need the reminder, too.

That is probably so.

...will you be alright?

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-05-09 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
...I will be. I may dislike this situation, but... I will be alright.

Thank you for your concern. I hope that you will be as well.

We'll just have to look out for each other, won't we?

[she nods]

Yes, that is so. I think... as long as we all cooperate with each other, we will be just fine.
