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?

[ He. Didn't. Ask. For your opinion!! His nerves bunch up and he brushes off that hand the moment he lets go as he's feeling even more self-conscious than he was before. Ears fold back as fingers brush over his bangs, eyes fluttering to a close before eyeing his companion again. This moment is all.. so new to him. He isn't sure how he feels about it. Doesn't like how nervous he feels. His tail reflects with quick swishes. ] That was the plan.
[ Maybe. Sorta. Though, thinking about going back to his tent.. should he even bother with the barricade? At the moment, he doesn't even consider that Joonghyuk won't let him out of his sight. He's distracted that he emits a surprised sound at the grab of his collar. Well, it's a bit funny how familiar he is to this. He immediately takes hold of that wrist with a semi-firm grip. ]
Hey, don't pretend you weren't ignoring me either. Especially with what you pulled in front of everyone else earlier. [ Jail? Really? Anyways, the fact they're now semi-arguing and they still.. have their hands holding is becoming a well known fact so he's quickly letting go to now knock knuckles against the other man's chest. ] Is there anything else we need to talk about? Or can I go to bed now.
[ His eyes sting from all that crying and he preferably would like to avoid the rest of the other arrivals. Should he try for his tent again? Or... he continues to stare at him before he caves in.]
..Actually, I need a favor. Let me stay in your tent.
no subject
There's nothing else.
[ He thinks that the "don't do anything reckless" bit must be tiring to hear as much as it is to reiterate, so he rounds that in. For now, he intends to keep a critical eye on Dokja... Even when their abilities and the threat of the apocalypse are gone, that doesn't mean Dokja won't do something stupid.
Just thinking about it makes his blood boil. His grip tightens around that collar, finding odd comfort in the hand that grabs onto his wrist. Tilting his head back, he looks at him with an inquisitive gleam in his eyes. ]
I'll let you stay if you let me hit you.
no subject
Where he really had to dance around what he said doesn't nearly count as much now. Yeah he should still not do anything to piss Yoo Joonghyuk off but. Feeling that hold on his collar tighten only encourages his own grip on that wrist to tighten. Not just that, but he brings his other hand to hold onto it as well. ] I refuse.
[Not that he has a much of a choice but since he's requesting? He's obviously gonna say no, you bastard. ] I'll go somewhere else then.
[ This is where he would probably walk off but he. Can't. So. Let go of him already. ]
no subject
I'll do it gently.
[ Promise. ]
no subject
... He must be going insane to be hesitating to respond. ]
You're going to hit me anyways. [ Ugh. ] Fine. Whatever. Get it over with already.
[ While he waits, he's subconsciously tensing up. ]
no subject
See? Gentle. ]
no subject
Satisfied?
no subject
No, he doesn't notice it. ]
Follow me.
[ And this just transpires to this disaster. ]
