✦ WEEKEND ZERO........2!

✦ WEEKEND ZERO: PILOT EPISODE PT. 2
30
REMAINING
On Sunday in the afternoon, you hear a very loud foghorn interrupting whatever it is you're doing! When you look up over the ocean, you'll see... an island! Whoa! We're almost there! In fact, we are there, so go get a last drink to go and get ready to disembark. It's hard to see the docks, because instead of wood, they're made of glass, for some reason. They're also currently being lapped by the ocean waves, which is why the yacht avoids them entirely and heads directly to the beach - an idealistic, beautiful place with soft white sand and sparkling blue waves. From this distance, you can see not only the beach, but an enormous mansion not too far from the sand. That looks nice... hope you're staying there, right? A second foghorn goes off, and you find yourself ushered to the gangplank by a troupe of very determined bunnies. These bunnies shove phones into your hands as you pass! You'll get a better look at them in a minute, because the bunnies do not stop there - they practically shove you off the boat down to the beach. Guarded by a pack of catfish-like creatures in little valet outfits, your home items will be there to receive you once you set foot on the soft, white sands. And just a few paces ahead, you spot three colorful figures...
New phone, who dis?
Yay, a phone! Wow, you've been set up with the works, huh? This is one of those fancy phones that cost more than half your yearly salary. Anyway, they've got plenty of features, and the best part is that they're constantly monitoring what you have to say at all times! Whoa! Your brand new Citrus Plus phone includes:
✦ Texting (as well as voice-to-text) ✦ Calling ✦ Video/Video Chat ✦ Notes functionality ✦ A camera ✦ A music player (called Smoothie) ✦ Full access to the Grapevine, an OnlyFruits exclusive network, as well as a selection of stickers, gifs, emoji, and more! ✦ Full access to the Fruit Juicer, an application for voting that seems to have no function outside of specific days ✦ Full access to Vitamin D, our specialized application that allows for you to get into your assigned team lounge! The D is for door.
You can add password protection to these phones, if you'd like. It can be through facial recognition, a six letter/number password, or a fingerprint scan. Your phone is the same color as your team (so orange, yellow, or green), and has a cute little fruit shaped charm hanging from it. It essentially looks like an iPhone, except how it isn't so we here at OnlyFruits don't get sued. And last but not least, it's not invincible! If you throw it, it'll shatter the screen or scuff the case, just like a normal phone. Don't drop it in the pool. You can get a new one, theoretically, but you don't want to know what the cost will be.

Everyone else has so many skills.
culet: (022)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-22 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. It's impressive.

[personal profile] etherealism 2026-02-22 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose that would make things more interesting...
culet: (048)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-22 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
By having all these multitalents in one place, you mean?
etherealism: (pic#18312730)

[personal profile] etherealism 2026-02-22 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. We are meant to be... entertaining, correct?

You know what they say about jack of all trades, eh? Master of none!

[ clearly trying to cheer him up ]

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-22 08:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ cute... but he's not disappointed or anything. ]

Truly mastering something takes longer than most people have.
abracatdabra: (and try to come to life)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-22 08:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's true! Takes quite a bit of work.
culet: (003)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-22 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it's even more impressive how many specific masteries are covered here.
abracatdabra: (the traffic starts jumpin')

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-22 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it only take in masteries, you think? Some of these skills do seem a wee bit...

viticella: (i live for the appeal)

[personal profile] viticella 2026-02-22 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
So do you! What's aura farming?
culet: (088)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-22 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Looking really cool, I think. Doesn't really fit me, but maybe they were trying to be nice?
viticella: (do i provoke you)

[personal profile] viticella 2026-02-22 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see. I've got classmates who are really good at that.

[ Mizi hits a little pose. ]

Come on, you give it a shot!
culet: (101)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-23 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
You're a natural at this, too. Photographers always want me to do this...?

[ sweeps his hair back with a hand like in his profile pic........ ]
frostythehitman: (fine but I WON'T LIKE IT)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't have minded having fewer.
culet: (115)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-22 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha. That's unfortunate, yeah. Explains why you were so detailed with your opinions on kidnapping, being an expert.
frostythehitman: (this is the best expression i've ever ic)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
That's--!

I was talking from the experience of being kidnapped! Not that!
culet: (002)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-23 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
Wow, both. You really are a master.
frostythehitman: (talking with tom hardy lips)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-23 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
It's a pretty standard occupational hazard for me.

I wouldn't put too much weight into what these say. A person's skills can't really be summed up that easily, you know?
culet: (044)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-23 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
They got mine spot on. Even a little kind, I'd say.
quantizer: (pic#17325430)

[personal profile] quantizer 2026-02-23 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Well in that case, put as much weight into it as you like.
culet: (048)

[personal profile] culet 2026-02-23 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Is there a reason why yours are so... purposeful?
quantizer: (pic#18298778)

[personal profile] quantizer 2026-02-23 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh, I get it! [ ... ] No, I don't know why it's alliterative. It's kind of funny though, isn't it?
