✦ WEEKEND ZERO: PILOT EPISODE PT. 2

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:
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.

Quite the sloppy behaviour for there being sixty-eight seasons before this, don't you think?
no subject
[ They shrug, and their LED screen displays: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]
Scheduling's sort of over our heads, you know? We're just the lowly hosts~
no subject
At the very least, it seems you've been given some measure of individuality and expression, hm?
no subject
[ They lift a hand and tap it against the side of their helmet. Clank clank. ] It's good to be able to communicate one way or another.

no subject
[ ^_^ ] Well! I feel like we'd be so lucky to have your expertise, but we have to get that kind of thing approved, you know, you know... it's sort of a pain. Everything over our heads, and all that.
no subject
[ still! she nods, content. validating her is the one scenario where the '^_^' is acceptable, actually. ]
But bah, figures. What would it take to get that approval?
no subject
I don't know, though! I kind of like the faces. They're pretty fun. Ask me to show an expression. Really challenge me, Sandrone!~
[ They wiggle their fingers up by their helmet's screen, which shows a (✧ω✧) ]

[ what she really wanted were the tools for her own purposes, but okay. she tried. not very hard, but she tried.
so now that she’s done trying, she simply stares at this very l'orange being flatly. ]
Is this what you do in front of a mirror?
no subject
[ They seem very amused by this. In exchange for this silly conversation, they hand her a pamphlet. A black-gloved hand appears over their shoulder, and from that, they take a brass key, which they offer to Sandrone. ]
Here. Since your lodgings are... otherwise in disrepair at the moment, take this. It'll unlock one of the bedrooms for you on the boat.
no subject
she takes both to be polite. the further she gets into the pamphlet, the more unimpressed she looks. then somehow, against all odds, she manages to look even more unimpressed when the boat's bedrooms are mentioned. ]
Are they the same as the one that was kept unlocked.
[ she and aaron really destroyed that bed an hour into mg…… ]
no subject
Mhm. Better than the sand?
no subject
[ :) ]
But for all you know about me, you could at least offer your name. Or a title.
no subject
My name, Sandrone, is Laugh, and I'll be one of your hosts for this program. You're in very good hands~ Even if you're not on my team.
no subject
Oh? And what are the scopes of your involvement?
no subject
no subject
but then, with faint amusement— ]
So you were the ones who were late.
no subject
No~pe! They needed to get to know you first without us around. Fashionably early! Or I suppose both of us could just be on time.
