INTRO LOG ♬

Whether you were in the middle of battle, on a grand adventure, or simply relaxing somewhere comfortable doesn’t matter. Whatever it was you were doing is suddenly interrupted by time suddenly going still. Everything around you freezes. The rest of the world seems to come to a standstill. The only thing that appears to be in motion is you -- though any temptation to try and figure out what’s going on is suddenly interrupted by the presence of something...small. Something light, like a piece of paper, floating down right in front of you.

A closer inspection reveals that this mysterious piece of paper is actually a ticket of some kind. You can’t quite decipher what it says, but judging by the layout of the text and the clear image of an airplane on it, you can tell that this is a travel ticket.

Not that you have much time to inspect it anyway, because when you reach out and touch it, the world suddenly starts to warp.

Arrival

You blink, and the next thing you know, you’re falling. You aren’t falling quite as gracefully as that strange ticket was; no, you’re descending very rapidly towards the ground. You can make out that your body is...glowing...a bright shade of yellow, and the ground can either mean the sand on the beach or the ocean itself. Regardless of where you land, the impact is not painful. You can feel the thud or the splash depending on where you end up, but it doesn’t hurt whatsoever.

Those in the water are not far away from shore at all. A quick swim will get you to land! For those of you who can’t swim, well, you may want to consider calling for help, given that you aren’t alone. The glowing seems to have stopped, but you can clearly make out the figures of other people nearby under the moonlight.

The land above the sand is thick with grass and overgrown weeds. There are some bugs here and there (namely tiger beetles) that skitter about, but unless you’re willing to use your bare hands, you don’t have anything to catch them with. For a light source, you can try to make a fire on your own using some twigs lying about from the trees, both apple trees and non-fruit-bearing trees alike, if you wish. Nobody’s stopping you.

There are also assorted tents throughout this part of the island. Each tent has a number on it and a little mailbox to accompany it, and there are eleven total. There’s nothing inside, when you go in, however.

The only other notable thing here is that smack down in the middle of the area you’re in seems to be some kind of man made area. There’s a large rectangle of dirt, and sitting on top of that dirt are three things: A wooden bulletin board with nothing on it, a large green tent with a leaf-like emblem above the opening, and a tall speaker next to the tent. Seems like someone’s been here before. If you step inside of the tent, nobody’s there. It’s completely empty inside, too. Below that tent are two large red tents, one with a "Women's" sign over it and one with a "Men's" sign. There are so many tents.

The airport to the south is locked, and try as you might, the seaplane docked behind it will not start up.

But before you venture too far out, you might want to gather your bearings first and chat with those who’ve been brought here with you. Maybe try to figure out a way to survive the night...assuming help isn’t already on the way.

And maybe some of you might need the help, considering you might not be like how you were before…





The Nook

Some time passes into the night. You’ve met some of the others, maybe did a little bit of exploring and set-up; but moments later, there’s suddenly a little seaplane up ahead. You can hear the plane from wherever you are, and it starts to descend near the airport. It descends rather quickly; you can’t quite see who’s operating the plane, but the passenger door opens.

If you happen to be near the airport, raccoon-like figure emerges from the plane and looks at you expectantly. He’s wearing a white collared shirt with a turquoise leaf-like pattern on it; he also has some khaki shorts on. Finally, he’s got the same emblem on his shirt that the sign above the entrance to the large green tent had. He smiles and it reaches his eyes.

“Ah! You’re all here already, hm? Yes, yes, it’s nice to see you here.” He walks towards the rectangle of dirt, and from his pocket he produces a microphone. Then, he speaks into it, and his voice echoes through the speakers: “Please report to Resident Services near the airport. Thank you.”

Whoever does decide to gather around will be met with an introduction from the tanuki: “Let’s see… First things first, welcome, everyone, to your new island! My name is Tom Nook, founder and president of Nook Inc. This is our first ever Deserted Island Getaway Package experience, so please bear with us while we make adjustments to our program as needed. Now... Today is your first official day -- er, evening on the island. Nook Inc. will always be available to ensure your comfort and safety.”

He then goes on to do roll call. This may take a while, but at least you’ll start learning the names of the other people you’re here with!

“Moving on, I have some camping supplies for each of you that I’ll be delivering to your tents tonight. I do have some assignments for each of you, you see, to ensure that there aren’t some people who are without a place to sleep in…”

Tom Nook then proceeds to read out the tent assignments. Yes, you all have those now, apparently. Hope you get along with your new roommates!

“There will be more announcements for you tomorrow, after you all get a good night’s rest. Yes, yes! Please get to know each other, and I will see all of you at nine AM tomorrow morning.”

A pause, then: “Ah-! Before I get to distributing the supplies, if there are any questions that I can answer now, go ahead and ask them.”

Should you not have any questions, you're free to turn in for the night. Get to know your roommates, arrange your camping supplies when they're delivered to you, and enjoy the sweet tunes on the radio. Or...you can get up to mischief outdoors, too. Nobody's stopping you! This is your island now and you get to do whatever you want.

Isn't that swell?

[toushiro]

[ you know, hitsugaya has seen lots of weird things in his life. plenty of strange things. this is probably the weirdest thing yet. and he'll make it known that he's going through a crisis by the way he's just. standing on the beach, looking at his paws and down at the sand like he's seen some shit. and that's probably true, considering he's a wolf now.

you can find him later near the airport, looking into the reflection of the door. his wolf tail wags sadly, and he lets out a little 'awoo' that can be heard by those nearby. he looks more angry than sad, though.

finally, after tom nook's...everything, toushiro crawls into tent #10 and curls up on his sleeping cot immediately. anyone's free to follow him in if they want. he is a very grumpy boy tonight, after all. ]

Airport

[pinkmacaron]

[Oh... That's a sad sounding howl! Sonico walks up to the wolf and stands behind him.]

Are you ok, mister wolf?

[toushiro]

I'm fine.

[ he says it after he heaves a heavy sigh. his shoulders are a little slumped. ]

Don't call me that. My name is Hitsugaya Toushiro.

[pinkmacaron]

Oh, I'm sorry mister Hitsugaya.

[But he's a wolf!]

Do you need any help?

[regression]

[ Joonghyuk appeared with wolf ears and tail, which... He does not appreciate! At all! Instinctively, he's attracted to Hitsugaya's howl and wanders over to the airpoirt.

...

Oh, it's a whole wolf. His tail swishes with curiosity— ]

So you've turned completely.

[ He didn't know that was possible. ]

[toushiro]

[ he looks over to whoever's approaching, and -- a man with wolf-features, but not full wolf like him. wow. hitsugaya is envious, he'll admit. ]

And you haven't.

[ said flatly. ]

Assuming you didn't have those ears or that tail before.

[regression]

I didn't. [ He has to say he's fortunate to only have ears and tail... ] They are annoying.

[ But what can they do? They can only live with it and see if they can change themselves back to normal. Joonghyuk looks to the door to the airport now. ]

Are you planning to break down the door?

airport!!

[kouhou]

[ Interested in checking out the airport, he stands in front of the door, figuring to figure out if there's anyway he could get in. But before he could do anything, he's startled by a tiny 'awoo' and finally notices the small angry wolf.

This is the first time he's encountered a full on animal... person? He's not really quite sure what to make of this.

He doesn't say anything and just stares at Hitsugaya. ]

[toushiro]

[ hitsugaya can sense someone nearby. it just...comes with being a shinigami,or something. he turns to look at sengoku and narrows his eyes angrily. ]

Do you need something?

[kouhou]

[ Ok. He thought he had seen everything this island had to offer but the moment this.... wolf? boy? opened his mouth and actually uttered words, Sengoku's world comes crashing down on him. ]

Wait, wait. Give me a moment... [ What does one say to a talking wolf??? ] You can talk?!

[afterword]

[ It was the sound of that 'awoo' that catches his attention. Curiously watching the fully lupine.. boy? Ah, that angry look though.. that seems familiar. ]

Are you alright?

[toushiro]

[ he looks over at dokja for a moment, then at the ground. his...wolfy eyes...close shut, and he lets out a little grunt. ]

Fine. Once we all go home, I won't have to worry about being in this form any longer.

[afterword]

I see. I was wondering why you weren't partially changed like some of us. Then again, there's some who didn't change at all.

[ How weird. He gestures to the spot next to the other. ] Mind if I join you?

beach

[conceptualize]

[ This wolf has seen some shit, and has clothes on. He might have to take back what he told Adelaide about never seeing a werewolf, because there might be one in front of him right now?!

He stands from a distance, since this is the first time when he's seen a full animal person here, so. ]

You okay there?

[ He says, as if he expects him to understand. ]

[toushiro]

[ listen, hitsugaya understands him just fine. he turns to laurent, brow furrowed. ]

I'm fine.

[ he's a little...huffy. ]

You haven't changed, have you?

[noctolepsy]

[Well shit...

It's a humanoid wolf.

Noct likes animals but given his own changes, something tells him it's not a real wolf.

Still might not stop him from staring at Hitsuwoo as he awooos. Sorry, dude.]

[toushiro]

[ he senses someone nearby -- though that could also b e his paranoia talking -- nope. someone is nearby indeed. and just...staring.

he narrows his eyes at the newcomer. ]

What are you looking at?

tent #10 (and they were TENTMATES)

[hypnowhip]

[Sylvando does follow, because this happens to be his tent as well. But also, he can't help but worry about Hitsugaya. Some are taking this course of events very hard, and Hitsugaya seems to be more so than others. The poor wolf boy's been sulking all evening!

He takes a seat on his own cot, smoothing out his feathers so they rest at his side. Hoo boy, dealing with these is going to be a pain...]

How are you feeling, darling? Did you manage to get a bite to eat?

T E N T M A T E S

[toushiro]

[ hm. one of his "roommates", so to speak, he's guessing. or this could very well be someone wanting to check on him. while the sentiment is nice, hitsugaya is feeling grumpy. he keeps his back turned towards sylvando for a bit. ]

I ate an apple, yes.

[ that's...about it. then, he sits up and turns to look at him. best to know who he's dealing with, after all. ]

And you are?

beach;

[hatesloki]

[ He's here, wringing the water out of his socks. Just you know, dealing with his soon-to-be new annoying life when he catches Hitsugaya staring at his paws for awhile. ]

...Let me guess. You didn't have those before you arrived here, did you?

[toushiro]

[ he looks up from his paws and sees...a boy with a horn on his head. kind of like a unicorn? is that what this is? ridiculous, if that's the result of winding up here. ]

No, I didn't. And your horn?

[livefreely]

[Iori's around the beach and once she sees the wolf, her first instinct screams for her to run. Except for the fact that she doesn't think that any of the animals here are bad, even if it's all rather strange.

Too strange.

But more than that--]

Cute... I wish I had a camera.

[toushiro]

[ he hears that. maybe it's partly because he's a wolf, but he heard that.

hitsugaya turns towards the sound -- a young girl -- and can't help but growl at her a little. ]

I'm not cute!

[freckledarcher]

[Ashe walked around the island, taking in the environment when he heard a wolf. It sounded so sad he slowly walked over to the wolf. He gave a reassuring smile to the wolf in front of the airport.]

Are you okay? You're probably confused about being here too, aren't you? Let's see if we can find something for you to eat. Would you like to come with me?

[toushiro]

[ this man is very nice. very, very nice. and also very worried. hitsugaya does not know what to do with this information. he looks a little surprised at his concern, but huffs a little and looks off to the side. ]

Why not. Lead the way.
