✦ 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.

Something not to your likin' there?
frostythehitman: (ragret)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Alpine mews from his shoulder and climbs all over him to get a sneef of this new friend!! it pulls bucky's attention away from the phone and onto cait sith. ]

Just...some unwanted reminders.
abracatdabra: (and I stumble to the kitchen)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-22 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ DELIGHTED AT CAT. this is now a cat petting a cat ]

Bad memories, eh? Seems these files arenae always the gentlest about things.
frostythehitman: (generic talking)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she baps him gently on the head. now this is a cat who is being pet by a cat petting a cat back. ]

They never are.
abracatdabra: (the traffic starts jumpin')

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-22 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ booped... he shakes his head at it a little but he did not flinch ]

Well, nevermind all that. The most important thing in these files is the team name! It looks like we'll be workin' together.
frostythehitman: (why do i have to listen to you)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess so. On team...."l'orange"?
abracatdabra: (with folks like me on the job)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-22 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right!

[ a pause ]

Think they ran out of fruits that started with the letter "L"?
frostythehitman: (god ur such a pain)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Longan. Loquat. Lychee.
abracatdabra: (i don't know)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-22 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ye really know your fruits! [ why do you sound impressed. ] Doesnae match the citrus theme, though...
abracatdabra: (it's a rich man's game)

[personal profile] abracatdabra 2026-02-22 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I dinnae think the audience is that knowledgeable.
frostythehitman: (unimpressed2)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-23 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
The audience should eat more fruit.

Another cat...! [ THERE ARE SO MANY CATS. wait more importantly. ]

Are you alright?
frostythehitman: (serious talking)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, yeah. It's...nothing to worry about.

If you're sure...

I know some people are a little distraught over what's written on their profiles.
frostythehitman: (ragret)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...well, I'm not happy about it. But it is what it is.
quantizer: (pic#17325440)

[personal profile] quantizer 2026-02-22 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Try not to worry about it too much. I don't think we'll be paying these that much attention.
frostythehitman: (this is doing me a concern)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
...right. The only thing to do now is to keep moving forward.
quantizer: (pic#17325439)

[personal profile] quantizer 2026-02-22 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. It's the only option. [ :) ]
frostythehitman: (i can be calm too)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ checks his phone and scrolls a bit before looking back up at her. ]

Akane, right? Looks like we're going to be teammates.
quantizer: (pic#17325430)

[personal profile] quantizer 2026-02-22 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. It's nice to meet you. I hope we can work well together.
frostythehitman: (casual chat)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-23 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm Bucky. Or James, if you go by the profile.

[ offers a hand for a handshake! ]
quantizer: (pic#17325431)

[personal profile] quantizer 2026-02-23 06:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ she will shake his hand! very demurely. wow. ]

I'll use whichever you prefer to go by.
frostythehitman: (unclear if mocking or genuinely grinning)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-23 07:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ he is not demure about it at all. he grips way harder and shakes way more vigorously. ]

Either works. But I guess I'm more used to Bucky.
