✦ 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.

... Yeah. Here, hold on.
[ They snap! Out of nowhere, a black-gloved hand appears over their shoulder and drops a couple of brass keys into Love's outstretched palm. ]
Thanks, Fingie. Here, you guys can sleep in the rooms on the boat. You can distribute these if you want.
no subject
You guys have got it rough, but thanks. [ she will take them. how many is this, one for everybody or nah. ] Somebody said something about the show starting two days ago? We only just got dropped onto the boat two days ago.
no subject
[ And sure, it can be enough for everybody. ]
no subject
but no she blinks and processes this slowly. ]
Huh. I see, but also don't at the same time. Do you guys have... I don't know, something like a guide for the folks that aren't familiar with the reality show thing? A few people have explained it to me, but I was more focused on the competition part of the offer than I was the reality show part, when I signed, and I don't know jack about... [ gestures ]
no subject
First - this. [ Hands her this. ] But basically you're going to be performing monkeys for the audience for a couple of weeks. You'll have events and things to do, all of it for the drama. Some of it will be dangerous probably, but you'll be fine.
If you've got specific questions I can answer 'em.
no subject
[ it'd be so easy just point at tenna's head. but she'll accept this paper and skim it over, snorting at the immature jokes, as one does. ] The dangerous stuff will be easier to me, frankly, so I'm not that bothered by that concept. I'm sure some other people will be.
Is it victory based on a team or on the individual..? Since there's the whole teams thing.
no subject
[ Someone's competitive... ]
Especially Laugh. We gotta beat Laugh.
no subject
[ a wink and a point at love! but - ]
What'd Laugh do?
no subject
[ lmao. ]
Seriously though, we gotta go for first, but I'm not gonna crush Lime under my foot.
no subject
Noted. Crush Laugh in the spirit of competition, beat Lime in a friendly way.
We uh. We going to have a place to go to that isn't the boat for this whole thing?
no subject
Nailed it. [ Also, (¬_¬) ]
Yeah, there's supposed to be the mansion, but the mascots are... uh. Fucking stupid. We'll have it ready for you guys soon.
no subject
I'm kind of getting that picture. They're cute, at least, though it took a lot of 'em to bring me my sword. They could've just left it wherever it was and taken me to get it instead to save them some trouble...
[ anyways. ] Are we going to have much off time between stuff? Wednesday and Saturday sound like big deals, but the in-betweens.
no subject
But yeah, you'll have time off. It's like the flier said, you'll get to do whatever you want. There's going to be places to hang out in and stuff to do. The audience wants to see you guys interact, so we've got to give you the time to do it.
no subject
So that's... what, in a few days at least? I'm not sure what the day was when we got dropped off onto the boat, but it's good to kinda have an idea of what we're gonna be getting up to.
We gonna be able to contact you guys during the competition, or will we have to wait to see you like this? All official-like.
no subject
We're all gonna be living in the same space, so you'll see me around. Helmets don't come off though.
no subject
I was going to ask if people didn't have Mondays, but there's some that've been to the moon. So what do I know.
But, hey, good to know. You guys shy or is that part of your own contract?
no subject
no subject
no subject
Fuck yeah. Once we get hooked up tomorrow, hit me up. Booze is not a problem, especially for the Lemons.
no subject
Oh, that's even better to know. Stay tuned for an invitation for a round or two or three, then, and I'll see you there.
no subject
I'll be expecting it. [ Lazy salute. ]
no subject
Are you still mad that I beat you at poker the other day ~ ? ♪
no subject
Their helmet shows a ♥. ]
