If you haven't signed up yet, please do so now in the other thread. You are deserted on an island, and you might have to live here a while. This land is full of magic, dark and light, red and blue, it is governed by those witted, those strong, and those who have proven themselves. Currently, this is the map.  It is not detailed, since we have found no one proven themselves with the mapping skill. Many creatures roam here, some controlled by me. I will not have a character, I am playing as nature. ONE MORE THING: Night comes every TWO days real time...late when no one's on, a bit earlier on school days. Start off! (Really!) You are washed away on the shore, and you feel weak. You lift an arm, and attempt one of your usual attacks against a nearby tree, to find you failed miserably. The tree sends your strike back at you and you are hit in the face. You know this is going to be hard... |

"Ow! Man... this is going... to be... rough... Ishathod..." As the tree punched me back in the face, I knew surviving on this deserted island won't be easy. I was weak, and so was Ishathod; I don't know how Ishathod and I got washed up here on the shore. 'You... got that... right...' With every ounce of energy I had, I got up, picked up Ishathod, put him on my head, and started walking around a little. I didn't walk for very long before getting too tired to walk. I decide to find a shady spot and rest on the ground for a little while. "I sure... hope... we can... make it here..." 'So... do I...'

"Ow." I got sent onto my bottom from the tree. <This isn't going to work...> Charon said, holding up his paws. <... ?> No black magic appeared. He was too tired. <Grrreat. Let's find somewhere to rest.> "O-kay." I ambled around, trying to find a good tree to rest under.

A small rat, never seeing a chao or yoshi before, started approaching Champ...
The small rat used his wiskers and his nose right in fron on Champ to sniff him out...

<Umm... hello?> Champ bent down to pat the rat on the head. Charon watched, and I finally sat down under a nice tree to get a little rest.

A second rat visited Yoshees group. And a third. Soon, there were several. One eventually bit. Then more bites came, run yoshee! they think you're food!
On Enrique's side of the island, a monkey appeared. It went up to him. It came and suddenly started poking the manta ray.
(Good chance to get corpses, and get shelter! The night comes today!)
The sun started to set on the island, let's hope that our friends will find shelter!

<Oh... snap.> Charon flitted away. "OUCH!!!" I beat one with my fist and ran. "Find shelter... find something!" <Agh!> Champ followed at my heels.

Yoshee was running through the monkey territory! Suddenly, coconuts were flying in every direction! Hope you can find shelter soon!

<Crud, not again.> Charon flapped above the treeline, looking for anything and avoiding the coconuts. A few hit me in the head, arms, nose, tail... <Wait, look! A huge rock! It might be hollow.> I followed Charon's shadow through the trees as the sun went down on the horizon. <It's a cave!> Champ pointed. I jumped in and curled up, arms covering my head and nose.

"Ah!!!" 'What was that?!' I turned around. "It's a monkey! And now it's trying to run away!" I chased after it, but couldn't reach it. "Eh, forget it. It's getting late, and I'm getting tired. Let's find a place to crash for the night." 'You're right. Hey, I found a small hole in the ground by another tree.' "Great. Anything to cover the hole up with?" 'Just a old tree remnant.' "Good enough." We found the hole, jumped in, and covered it up with the dead tree.

The night falls on the sleepy island. Unlike most nights, there isn't one sound. Everything is scarred of something...nothing is nocturnal on this land. All of a sudden, a deep chill is cast above the land. The sun goes out, and a dark laugh can be heard. The cold reaches everywhere on this land, but a foolhardy rat who wanted a late night snack suddenly fell to its side and froze to death. These first two parties could not sleep through this first night of cold and toil, but as the morning comes, a light in the north is shown... MAP UPDATE!! The map was updated to show about where these mysterious lights came from.  |

'Brrr...' "Ishathod, I couldn't sleep last night." 'Me neither. It was too cold.' Climbing out of the hole, I saw some strange lights higher up on the hill. 'What is that?!' Ishathod was on my head. "I don't know. Let's find out..." I started walking up the hill, following the mysterious lights.

<Hey look, a light.> Charon pointed the next morning. He was an insomniac anyways, so he didn't care whether he slept or not. "Gah, I'm tired." I stretched and yawned. <Maybe the lights do something. Let's go see where they came from!> Champ started into the forset. Me and Charon stared at each other, then quickly got up and followed.

Being tired, the climb up the hill started to get tough as I hit higher altitude. "You are getting tired, Ishathod?" 'Yeah, but primarily because I couldn't sleep last night.' "It must be easy for you; I'm the one who has to walk up this hill!" 'Hey, at least I can see the lights!' "That's true..." My eyes shuttered a little bit while I was walking, so I couldn't really see ahead of me.

Suddenly, the lights recoiled and came down from the sky. They soon proved to be farther away than everyone thought (This island is actually rather large, a good five miles all around...or so.). The lights vanished, but they still could estimate where they had been.
Yoshee crosses a dence forest, this will be mapped!

The lights suddenly vanished. 'Hey, what happened to the lights!?' "I have no idea..." I got to the point where the Ishathod saw the lights, but still nothing ws there. "Hmm... I wonder what all that was about..." 'I don't really know...'

A trap suddenly activated and Enrique falls into what looks like a cave! Looking around, old writing inhabits the walls...

"Ah!" I fell on my back into a cave; Ishathod, who was on my head, is now sitting on my stomach. 'Whoa, it's like really dark down here...' "No kidding, Einstein...!" I got up and bush some dirt off of me. Ishathod slithered back onto my head. 'Hey, Enrique, what is that writing on the walls?' I looked at what Ishathod was pointed to. The writing was quite mysterious. I had never seen anything like it before. It looked like a mixture of Arabic and Ethiopic scripts, but it was extremely unique. "I don't know... I haven't seen anything like this on Omniglot..."

<Hey! Who turned out the lights!?> Champ stared from the top of a small hill overseeing a few trees in the direction of where the light had been. "Let's go in that direction, then. Light is good, right?" <That isn't always true, Yoshee.> Charon sighed. We kept going.

(THE NIGHT COMES TONIGHT!! But the temple counts as shelter.)
This mysterious cave was covered in writing from all known languages, each saying a particular phrase. Now, the trick, find which one is the english one.
