✦ 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.

No one's explained to me what a TV is yet, no.

[ 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.

Oh, shit, alright. [ she's ON POINT. ] I knew I liked the energy from over here for a reason.

[ a wink and a point at love! but - ]

What'd Laugh do?

[ watches them interact. what a fun little family they have going on here. ]

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?

[ understood and felt. ]

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.

[ sympathetic shoulder pat. i will ask at a later time whether this is a shoulder shorter than her or not. ]

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.

[ she opens her mouth, then pauses, and then shakes her head. ]

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?

[personal profile] cleaved 2026-02-23 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Good to know. [ thoughtful, but leaves it at that. ] If we're going to be seeing more of each other, even with the whole helmet things... you guys drink any? Wouldn't mind sitting down with the tavern stock to get to know any of you after today.

[ i will peel you, lemonhead, and know your secrets. ]

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.
