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.

A nine year old who's currently staring at the... bug poke thing that's just popped out of that little ball. When he said he had something like a big bug, he meant big... She'd seen other weird things in that dream from before, but that still felt mostly like a dream. This isn't a dream, and there's monster on a raft with them at the edge of an island in the sea.
She's very unsure, staying where she is but holding her gun a little closer to her, yet Karamatsu does catch her attention, and she can't help but ask, ] You've been kidnapped before?
1/2
Bored? Well, you can pull the raft then. I'll even help you into the water, homie. Mark of friendship and camaraderie, yeah? Just you come on over here and I'll escort you in all nice like, heh heh...
2/2
A bit of the color drains from Guzma's face - do not shoot his pokemon, girl - and there's a not-so-subtle break in his voice.]
Wh-whoa there, Golisopod's just gonna tug us to shore, yo. He looks rough, but he's real nice past all that, yeah? Believe me, I known the creampuff since he was a li'l thing. [An itty bitty baby Wimpod. ♥] Don't do nothing to 'him, okay? Slow and steady, a'ight?
[It's uttered to the bug, but he means it more for Clem to just...settle down a bit with that trigger finger.
And no, Guz,a doesn't care Karamatsu was kidnapped before. \:|/]
no subject
Yeah- it's a funny story, ha ha...
[Very carefully, he shifts a little closer to her. Blocks off the view of the giant bug. See? It's just you and him and the big yakuza over there; that's a little less threatening, right?]
A friend of mine has a very good oden stand; so good, my brothers and I would visit it even if we didn't have the money to pay. Chibita is a man of character; he allowed us to build up our tab, so big that one day, we owed a little more than we should.
So he decided to take drastic measures.
no subject
She definitely notices Guzma's panic, and his reassurances are enough. She nods slightly, still looking over at the weird bug. ] Don't worry. I won't shoot him, [ she tells him, but is still a little wary, and it's probably a good thing Karamatsu is there to distract her. Even if she wasn't going to shoot anything or anyone.
She frowns a little, before asking Karamatsu, ] It wasn't him this time, was it?
no subject
Guzma glances at Karamatsu, a little stunned, but deeply appreciative. Perhaps that's why he's not butting in or gagging loudly at the story the young man is telling, opting to stay quiet and direct Golisopod quietly as the boat is tugged along towards shore. It's not fast, by any means, but thy're certainly going faster than they would have paddling and--
WOW?]
Yo, unless I got a cut of whatever those pinheads owed, I wouldn't go near 'em with a ten foot pole. Dunno what'd I'd catch sticking around 'em too long.
no subject
Or...one of three, at least. He's got no urge to actually become a human shield for an over-sized bug.
Or his pokemon, for that matter.]
I don't think Chibita has the resources to pull something like this off... unless you both owe him money, too.
[In which case, anything is possible.]
