✦ 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.

...

[doesn't believe that for a second]

I see. Which fruit did you want?
extensiveform: (u hurt jem)

[personal profile] extensiveform 2026-02-22 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[it shouldn't hurt to say. he can come up with an excuse if it does.]

Lemon would have been cool.
lactosetolerant: (?)

[personal profile] lactosetolerant 2026-02-22 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I see.

[If they are teams, then...]

Someone you want to be on a team with?
extensiveform: (there there lil guy)

[personal profile] extensiveform 2026-02-22 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah, see-through as cellophane.]

Caught me. I took for granted they'd pair us together. Big goof-up on my part, huh?
lactosetolerant: (hmmmmm)

[personal profile] lactosetolerant 2026-02-23 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, how unfortunate. I felt the same way when I found it out...

[A sigh.]

Who did you want to be with?
extensiveform: (blah blah blah)

[personal profile] extensiveform 2026-02-23 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
[a couple seconds of deliberation.]

[he turns his phone around to show valiant deadwyler's profile] He's Lemon, I'm Lime.
lactosetolerant: (mild little frown)

[personal profile] lactosetolerant 2026-02-23 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, him?

[What a blonde man. Not blue.]

You said something earlier about...being a crystalcycle for another. Is this him?
extensiveform: (blah blah blah)

[personal profile] extensiveform 2026-02-23 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[not blue. it's one of his worse qualities, but jem does his best to make up for it by being extra blue-green.]

Yes, he's my pilot. Have you spoken? Was he well-behaved?
lactosetolerant: (haha!)

[personal profile] lactosetolerant 2026-02-23 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not yet, no.

[A little laugh.]

"Behaved"? You talk about him almost like a pet.
extensiveform: (what does it mean.....)

[personal profile] extensiveform 2026-02-23 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
He is under my guardianship as his vehicle. And can be super abrasive.

[although jem is starting to--starting!--suspect that might work out in a person's favor with their specific current situation.]

But, you have a certain aura to you. I think he'll be helpless against it and actually act like he knows how to make friends.

[Now that's amusing to think about. His kindly aura...]

I know plenty of others who might rub others the wrong way, but they have a good heart. I'm sure we'll get along, even if he's "helpless", hehe.
