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.
Feeling a tad adrift? Make sure to check the Locations Page, which has details regarding the starting areas and a handy map for those who feel better with a bird's eye view!
( CODED BY BOOTYCALL )
B, because... obviously :')
Almost shoddy, obviously cropped with the wrong tool, by someone who didn't really know what they were doing.]
My sibling. [They correct, smile blithe and seemingly easy.] We have found one another, yes.
rubs my grubby little hands together
Good to hear that. I was a little worried, not gonna lie. [And a change of terminology, one that Edward very quietly files away in the back of his head. Something is definitely up, but what he can't be sure yet--or if he should even be nosing in on it.] There's some ruins in the forest a ways off, suspect a lot of people will be using that for shelter. You two can share a fire with me there, if you need it.
and so it begins \o/
[They haven't forgotten his offer previously, to teach them how to build a shelter. Perhaps they'd simply waved it away before, but now... now it's likely to prove useful. If Sol Raveh had taught them one thing, it was to find the intelligent ones, and work with them.
Edward may have a looser switch on his anger than some others, but he does remind them of
He reminds them of Rin.]
You're not expecting to find someone familiar yourself, then?
no subject
[Edward glances out toward the horizon for a moment then sighs and shakes his head.]
Nah, I'm not lucky enough to see any of them again.
[Shaking the moment off, he looks down at the kid again with a smile and offers his hand.]
Don't think I got your name before. I'm Edward.
no subject
Who knows, really.]
My apologies.
[If they could trade positions on that front, they most certainly would. For now, however, they simply bow, the power to change fates apparently beyond them.]
Greetings. I am Kidwun.
no subject
[Edward pauses for a moment, staring at them incredulously, before sighing and drawing his hand back to run through his bangs.]
You know, if you don't trust me, you can just say it.
no subject
A little phased. Their Partner chose this name, you rude fuck.]
It's a common name from my world.
Mind, I've never met an Edward under fifty before.
no subject
[FUCK OFF WITH YOUR DANG SMART PHONES AND AUTOMATIC DISHWASHERS.]
no subject
[They didn't bring their phone with them- hows them apples, granpoppy?]
no subject
Everything sounds old-fashioned at your age.
no subject
[About how they make asses of people.
Are you an ass, Edward?]
no subject
[However--]
The age you look, then. Were you a vampire before you got whisked away? [They've got the eyes for it.]
no subject
I am twelve.
[Or at least... Frisk is twelve. Hence, they are twelve. They suppose.]
And yourself? I'm assuming somewhere in your late fifties, but...
no subject
[Despite his irritation, a small grin is tugging at the corner of Ed's mouth. Kid is winning him over just about as fast as Mason had.]
[...hell. He probably won't see any of them ever again, will he?]
no subject
It's not Chara's problem.]
I didn't realize bags were a sign of age, but if that's the current identifier- closer to a hundred, then.
no subject
[Ed looks back over at Kidwun, curiosity replacing the mostly-faked annoyance.]
You two get anything useful in your bags?
no subject
A few items. A hammer. Nails.
[Other things they're not so willing to share with him, just yet.]
I would be happy to share them...if you show me how to use them myself.
[Not that the method itself isn't simple- but there's a difference between what is obvious, and what is effective.
They're not going to keep Frisk safe by playing with the obvious.]
no subject
[And usually he was repairing a damaged structure, not making a new one whole-cloth.]
I've got some kind of hand drill, not sure what it's used for. Seems sharp enough to work with wood, though--I'll have to test it out later. Also have a whistle, [Ed grimaces slightly when he mentions that,] a flashlight, and some kind of weird toy duck? Cannot figure out what the heck the whole contraption is supposed to do.
no subject
But the last one gains the most attention.]
...May I see this duck?
no subject
[Ed swings his pack around to open it up and dig inside, pulling the toy out and handing it to Kidwun.]
Knock yourself out, buddy.
no subject
They aren't stupid enough to try it, offering it back to Edward when satisfied.]
Why a duck?
wow @ them next time ed
Hell if I know. Probably some dumb joke from whatever brought us here.
pfffff
Very rude, whatever you are. At least make the joke topical.
no subject
[Doesn't stop him snickering right now. Definitely not from the efforts of any cosmic forces, though.]
no subject
[Perhaps one day, they'll be let in on the joke.
But then, probably not.]
If you'll excuse me for the timebeing, sir, I must tend to my sibling. I'm sure we'll see you again soon.
