✦ 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.

[ She scans over all the profiles with the same good-natured smile she offered the host.

At one point, her gaze drops to the thin, circular object in her hands. She only looks at it for a moment. And then it's back to the profiles, which are so much more interesting! ]


Wow! Everyone's so talented. I'll do my best to keep up!

[ looks at the round thing she's holding. looks at her profile. feels a Hm in her soul for a moment. ]

You've got yourself some decent talents, little lady. Don't sell yourself short!
viticella: (crash and burn girl)

[personal profile] viticella 2026-02-22 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Wow, such a cool person complimenting her... Mizi looks genuinely delighted. Any moodiness she's feeling about her home object appears to have been completely forgotten. ]

Thank you! Sword throwing sounds really fun.

My sword's probably a liiiittle too big for you to give it a shot with, but if we find something smaller, I'll teach you how to do it.

[ yes, good, no moodiness here today. even if the mansion exploded. ]
viticella: (i live for the appeal)

[personal profile] viticella 2026-02-22 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mizi huffs, but like, she's pretty good-natured about it. She seems to be mostly joking. ]

What, are you saying I'm not tough enough? [ She flexes. Her biceps are toned, but nothing really to sneeze at. ] Come onnnnn.

[ rawiyah is instantly fond and amused alike, and moves to deposit her sword point-first into the sand in front of mizi. it's taller than her. no, really. ]

Alright, I'll give you a shot at lifting it. Let's see what those muscles can do!
viticella: (that is my one suggestion)

[personal profile] viticella 2026-02-22 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's a bit tough to pull off in her flouncy little dress, but Mizi gets one foot up on the hilt and......... pulls!! Sword in the stone style!

It wiggles a little. That's about it. ]


Oof... You are strong...
cleaved: (🔴 010)

[personal profile] cleaved 2026-02-22 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ this makes her laugh, good-natured. ]

Gotta be when you're a mercenary in Iria. But you got it to move, so I'm impressed!
viticella: (i live for the appeal)

[personal profile] viticella 2026-02-22 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she's......... impressed??? ]

Wow, really? You promise?
cleaved: (🔵 038)

[personal profile] cleaved 2026-02-22 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Pinky promise, even. [ sticking out her pinky finger like. see? she swears she is. ]
