Part I: Get Wrekt
You rouse to a splash of sea salt drying on your skin. A haze of glass-white sand glitters in your vision, dappled by lush palms and thick, curling foliage that disappears into a jungle of deep jade. From behind, crackling wood and sawing rope groan from a mangled life raft ran ashore. A petering wash of tide over pebbled sand fills your ears as you struggle to gain your bearings in a vast portrait of tropical color…
No...no, no, that’s not precisely how this story starts.
Why don't we start over?
You rouse to a splash of sea salt, spraying across yourself and the wooden floor beneath you as it breaks across the edge of the platform. The light as it dances across the sea is blinding, dappling white spots across your vision as you slowly come back to consciousness and realize that - this is not where you last remember being.
The middle of the ocean is likely not a place most recall being at all. As you struggle to fully comprehend the new scenario in which you have found yourself, three things become quickly apparent. The raft you find yourself upon barely constitutes as something that should float, never mind a boat. In the distance, perhaps a few hours away at most, a large island beckons to you, a wide strip of beach surrounded by cliffs making it very clear where the most fortuitous of directions shall be.
Lastly, of course, you’re not alone. Hopefully your new companion(s) are just as keen to get ashore before nightfall as you, or voyaging together will not be the most positive experience. At your side you will find a knapsack, one to every member of your raft party, and upon inspecting its contents, you will discover any rewards you may have accrued - as well as a few other items to give you a fighting chance.
A note to those who participated in the Test Drive Meme: those threads, if all parties involved would like, can be game canon in the form of dream-like memories involving a place very much like this one, though the layout is considerably different.
Part II: Choose Your Own Adventure
By fortune (or misfortune, as it were), you eventually find your feet meeting sand, blessed shore to stagger upon as you shake off your newly found sea-legs. There are those that may find this place familiar, as though it appeared in a dream, though the expanse of shore certainly seems larger. The beach stretches off into the distance on both sides, curving around sharp ridges and cliffs, mist obscuring the view the farther along it goes.
So here you are. You’ve found land. Company. Supplies. The sun is now beginning to trek rather low upon the horizon…spending the night outside in such an unfamiliar land is unappealing at best and outright dangerous at the worst.
There is one silver lining in the midst of this mess. Directly ahead, the beach curves up a gentle slope until it meets forest, some manner of building visible through the trees. Further exploration of this area will reveal a dilapidated building of sorts; the architecture is indiscernible to even the most skilled eye. Despite looking as if it has seen better days, there are areas that offer some form of shelter...and who knows what else. Just because it appears uninhabited doesn’t mean you won’t wind up pleasantly, or unpleasantly, surprised.
So what shall you do from here, traveller? There is land to be explored, strangers to meet, friends to reunite with. Supplies to inspect and plenty of questions in need of being said aloud. Choose your path, make haste, and above all else: survive. And whatever you will, take heart.
Your story is about to begin anew.

no subject
Trees. Sand. Water. Some kind of weird building over that way.
[He indicates the general direction of the building with his head.]
We're already doing better than I've been doing the last two years.
no subject
[...Buuut Espio wouldn't bring up that little bit of trivia if he didn't want to be questioned about it, right?]
Two years?
no subject
He shrugs, and hops down from his perch, bouncing off the trunk of the tree.]
Two years in a dead wasteland. Be glad there's plants and fresh water.
no subject
You... wanna talk about it? With ears like mine, I'm a real good listener!
[He points to his ears. Get it? Cause they're big? Joke???]
no subject
[Sorry, mouse. Espio doesn't open up that easy... and he's not really in the mood for silly jokes.]
Let's just deal with what we've got, never mind what happened before.
no subject
If'fn you say so... my name's Mickey Mouse! What's yours?
[Offers a hand to shake?]
no subject
[Espio just looks at the offered hand and doesn't take it... but at least he does actually introduce himself, even if he doesn't shake hands? He shifts the colour of his skin slightly blue and back just to prove that he really is a chameleon, though.]
no subject
... Wow! That was amazin'! Really amazin'! Can you change into any color at all?
no subject
[He just feels the need to show he's a chameleon. Yes, he's got his tail, and he's got his horn, but he still looks mostly human.]
Yeah, any colour. Including invisible.
no subject
Can you do multiple colors at once? Oh, how about a rainbow, can you do that? Or polka dots?
no subject
Yes? But I'm not gonna do it on demand.
no subject
no subject
[Well, it's not like it's not cool. Espio's just being cranky, as usual.]
So... what? You gonna go check out that building?
no subject
[He'd totally forgotten because of his cool new friend.]
Y'wanna check it out together? Four eyes are better than two!
no subject
It's worth scouting for monsters. Sure, why not?
no subject
no subject
Yeah? What do you do?
no subject
Not only am I a musketeer, but me and my pals were chosen to guard the princess!
no subject
So you won't have any issue if we run into beasts and monsters then. Okay. Let's go.
There's kids around. Let's make sure anything dangerous finds us and not them.
[And he'll be keeping an eye on you too, Mickey.]
no subject
Right! We gotta keep the kiddos safe. Maybe we should have someone lookin' after 'em, like... some kinda babysitter.
no subject
[ooc: they could go a little further afield later too, for a search quest?]
no subject
((OOC: Yeah sure, at a later thing!))
no subject
[No, he actually isn't sure. He's not going to straight up dismiss him, but Mickey will have to prove himself - Espio's got an eye on him, just in case.]
[ooc: Great!]
