REMAINING

UM? x IC Profiles Reaction x

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.

[syncer]

Just checking. You can kinda guess why I'd ask since those are two very different situations.

So... how does the team situation work? Whoever has the most members left at the end of the season wins? How long are we thinking?

[streamy]

[ They wave their hand. Yup, got it. ]

Well, you signed the contract for 7-8 weeks. So that's about how long. As for teams... It's less about number of people, and more about number of something else!

A lot of these questions will be answered for you tomorrow once we're actually in the mansion and the competition officially starts! I can't give you a lot of spoilers.

[syncer]

[ He looks like he's ready to argue, but being told they'll get answers tomorrow does help him cool his jets. ]

And if other questions still come up after that... can we ask any of you?

[streamy]

You can. You're not stuck to only your team lead, either, so feel free to come chat with any of us!

We might not be able to give you the most satisfying answers in the world, but if you ask me, it's a good thing to explore your options.

[syncer]

[ His gaze flickers both to Live and Love before settling on Laugh again. ]

You may come to regret that when the game starts, man. [ He's about to be the most annoying fucker alive. ] I'm good with options as long as there's effort in the answers. I get there's probably stuff you can't disclose yet, but I'll keep asking.

[streamy]

I'm a social creature! I get lonely.

[ Their screen displays a ;) ]

Glad to hear you get it! You're an envelop pusher, huh?

[syncer]

[ Needy... ]

Looks like you have a few members on your own team who're pretty chatty, at least. I doubt you'll be lonely for long. [ But he shrugs! ] Let's just say I play to win. I'm not afraid of that.

[streamy]

So I've heard! I hear I might be seeing quite a bit of you, too.

[ Hehe. There's a little amusement in their tone. ]

I like a good competition, you know. If you play to win, then I think you'll do fine here. Though - no offense, I don't want you to win! Haha.

[syncer]

We'll see about that. [ He says, with the energy of an aloof cat who is pretending not to be embarrassed he is maybe being perceived. ]

Equally no offense, not sure that's up to just you. [ He does mean it in good jest though, he's not trying to be an asshole on purpose. ] I'd be a little disappointed if you handed over a win, but don't think we'll make it easy either.

[streamy]

That's the spirit!

[ ღゝ◡╹) displays on their screen, and they do a fingergun. ]

Love and I compete all the time anyway. They're fun to play with, so I expect nothing less out of their team. It'd be boring if it was a clean sweep, don't you think?

[syncer]

[ What even are you. NO MORE FINGERGUNS even if it does make him grin slightly. ]

Of course it would. Nobody wants to vote for a team that isn't interesting to watch. [ He is noticing the dynamics... ] What about Live?

[streamy]

[ Who's to say!

Immediately: ] Be nice to Live. They're good, huh? I want them to do well. Not win, but, you know! Do well.

[syncer]

I think you can be supportive and still want to beat your competition, sure. I never said I wouldn't be nice. Have you guys worked together before? You and Live and you and Love.

[streamy]

We know each other pretty well. I can't say much more than that though! It's the first episode! At least take me out to dinner first.

[ ;3

This is not a serious request. Probably. ]

[syncer]

[ Okay, well. ]

How about tomorrow? I'm assuming we'll get actual food when we move in, won't we?

[streamy]

[ Incredible. ]

All this fruit, and imagine we didn't feed you...

[syncer]

[ Not sure what you expected from him tbh. ]

Oh, I can imagine. Just like I'm imagining there's a real answer in there. But hey, your dinner date depends on it, not mine.

[streamy]

Hmm. Come find me tomorrow! I guess we'll see~

[ ;> ]

[syncer]

Tomorrow it is.

[ And he'll just turn to walk off! Goodbye, Laugh, he'll be Back. ]
