✦ 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.

...Frumpkin. Frumpkin. Go say hi to that cat.

[frumpkin on his shoulder meows, like he doesn't want to do that.]

Go on. Go say hi to him.
frostythehitman: (generic talking)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ frumpkin may not want to, but alpine does! she clambers around bucky's shoulders and into his arms to lean forward and sniff at the new guy. bucky obliges and even walks a little closer to let her get a good whiff. ]
katzepaw: (🐱 2)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-02-22 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[frumpkin meows in annoyance but does as he's told, coming over curiously to meow.]

[ me like hmm. maybe i should have a dedicated alpine icon.

she sniffs him for a while....a good long while...

and then swats at his face. sorry, i rolled a 3. ]
katzepaw: (agate)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-02-22 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[okay well frumpkin is not a real cat he's a familiar who does what caleb wants and what caleb wants is for him to have a cute interaction with another cat. so he is bopped on the face.

i rolled frumpkin's hit points and he has 3. he loses 1. if he loses two more he's gone...]


Okay, come back. I cannot resummon you right now.
frostythehitman: (WHAT did you say to me)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Alpine!

[ he yanks her back and away from caleb and frumpkin. ]

Sorry, she can be a little feisty sometimes.
katzepaw: (fire shield)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-02-22 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's okay. [he would never blame a cat for being a cat.] She is very cute.
frostythehitman: ((this animal i have become))

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...yeah. So is yours. [ this is much nicer to think about than his profile! ]
katzepaw: (ice)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-02-22 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Danke. This is Frumpkin, my little familiar. He is quite the clever and helpful fellow to have around.
frostythehitman: (angsty with cat)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ WAIT I FORGOT I DO HAVE AN ICON WITH ALPINE IN IT ]

Alpine. She's--well, most of the time she's a sweetheart.
katzepaw: (dancing lights)

[personal profile] katzepaw 2026-02-22 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a bit charming for a cat to have a little personality, I think.

[no cat can do wrong in his eyes.]
frostythehitman: (unclear if mocking or genuinely grinning)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ what if alpine murders him. or worse, murders frumpkin

anyway this gets bucky to huff a little laugh ]


Well, she's got a great sense of when to scratch and bite someone.

...Usually.

headmt: [ _milliiii ] (42.)

[personal profile] headmt 2026-02-22 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!! ]

Help!
frostythehitman: (WHAT did you say to me)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 09:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ immediately scrambles to try to pull her off of them ]

Sorry, sorry! She's usually not so eager to, uh, explore.
headmt: (CI14)

[personal profile] headmt 2026-02-22 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he is generally fine with this, but those are attached to his skull. ]

It's fine, it's fine-- Nothing wrong with friendly.
frostythehitman: (like you thought)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope that was friendly.

[ maybe she was trying to murder you!!

regardless, bucky finishes unhooking her from molly's horns and pulls her back towards himself. she climbs back onto his shoulders. ]
headmt: [ vyco ] (55.)

[personal profile] headmt 2026-02-22 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to choose to assume it was friendly!

[ straightening out all the jewelry in his horns, eyeing the cat a little suspiciously. ]

What's her name?
frostythehitman: (generic talking)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Alpine.

When I signed onto this, I didn't think she'd be joining me.
headmt: (CI25)

[personal profile] headmt 2026-02-22 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[ CAUTIOUSLY!!!!!!! reaching a hand for her to sniff. ]

Hallo, Alpine.
frostythehitman: (angsty with cat)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2026-02-22 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she sneef! and then...she decides to headbutt his hand, purring! ]
