<span style="font-weight: bold">Julian Bright</span>is dropped off on one of the Island's southern beaches. There is a nice coral cape here that is pretty to look at, the shallow waters clear as crystal and home to all sorts of exotic fish. However, it also makes ship navigation a real pain in anything but the smallest of vessels. The canoe maneuvers carefully around the sharp coral formations and beaches safely on the sands, letting you disembark before the owner of the canoe paddles back out to sea. Deciding to walk North into the forest, you find some bountiful fruit trees nearby, bearing what appears to be mangoes. There is also a nude otter girl harvesting some of them. She looks over at you shyly as you approach.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sera Vipera</span>awakens and drinks the sweet riverwaters. Though far from the streams source, the brook still provides good drinking water, if a bit heavy with minerals.  Seeing the place as a suitable spot to camp, you begin digging a den for yourself in the sand. With the water from the nearby brook helping to compact the ground, it's pretty easy, but will still take you many hours to hollow out a suitable den for yourself. As for the beach, it isn't hard to find! All you have to do is slither along the sands for a ways, and you'll find it past a few large boulders. You can see a canoe moving away from the island close by. If you slither a little farther out onto the beach, you will be able to smell the scents of a male human and a female otter, and aha! there they are! You see<span style="font-weight: bold">Julian Bright</span>walking toward one of the island natives near a grove of shoreline mango trees. You are still quite a distance from them and out in the open. What do you do?<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Kamau</span>decides to find a freshwater river. You walk into the woods, the smells of the forest surrounding you. Because of the rolling hills in the area, the woods are more like the ones at home and less like the tropical jungles he may have expected, though perhaps the trees thicken  as one moves farther into the flatlands? It isn't long before his nose detects the scent of river, and he will move in that direction until he finds it; a broad stream of water that is moving rapidly south, but not rapid enough to make wading through it dangerous. In fact, as he approaches the river, he will see some creatures bathing in it. A male otter, a catgirl, and a male and female deer were splashing in the river, all naked and unaware that they were being watched. The river masks their scents, and Kamau can detect no other prey in the area. He may or may not see Rachel up in a tree on the other side of the bank, stalking the creatures in the river. It depends on how observant he is.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Akiada</span>'s fishing rig takes him to the eastern shore of the island. He may be surprised to see several natives standing on the beach as he arrives; just a small welcoming party consisting of a male elk, a female wolf, a catboy and a young mouse girl. They are wearing only crude loincloths or nothing at all, though the wolfess steps forward to give you something to wear in a ring of flowers around your neck. "Welcome to Glenn's Island, child.", the elk says to him. "You have the good fortune of being placed near our village. There are several on the island...they are known to the native predators, but the foreign ones seeking you know do not know where they are...yet."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Aaron</span>'s bass boat circles all the way around the island at high speeds, giving him the lay of the land. It's irregularly shaped, with lots of sandbars, coral outcroppings and literally miles of beaches. The mountain looms over the two of you as you approach the northern side of the island, and the boat pulls up to a small cave on the shore, protected by some rock. The cave seems already lived in, as a naked catgirl appears at the entrance, her body toned and hair wild, smooth tanned human skin offset by patches of white fur. The captain turns to look at you. "Looks like this landing is already occupied. Sorry chum, but here's where you get off. I don't know if she'll let you stay." The catgirl seems afraid of the boat, unsure what to make of it and the people riding on it. After some rummaging around, the boat owner manages to find a fish in the livewell, and he throws it to her. She catches it expertly in her mouth. Smiling, he turns to you. "Seems pretty harmless, aye? Though I suppose you can't be too careful...if you'd rather I drop you off, farther up along the northern shore, I can do that too."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Glaive</span>surveys the land and thinks about his priorities. What to do? You watch as the ships dock one by one. One of the ships comes particularly close to your mountain, but vanishes under a rocky outcropping. If you keep your eye on the spot, you will see it leave again...perhaps a hidden cave? Other boats stop on the open beaches or dissapear momentarily behind the rising trees of the thick jungle below as they come ashore. From here, there are the cardinal directions to go: North, South, East, and West. The boat closest to the mountain settled down on the Northern side, but depending on which side you take, you may find different things. Despite the mountain's height, it only takes you a few hours to walk back down it; the cliffs aren't sheer, instead they incline gradually, so it's pretty easy going, even if you don't have experience as a mountain climber.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Aurion</span>, embarrassed by his nudity, steps into his canoe. To make matters worse, the owner of the boat happens to be a female elf, who grins at him lewdly before starting to paddle off toward the island. The canoe makes slow progress over the stretch of ocean but the elf is an experienced traveller and gamely paddles around to the western side of the island. Unfortunately, when the canoe is still some distance from the island, it accidentally drifts into some coral formations. A large gash cut into the bottom, it begins taking on water. "Damn! Swim for it! If we stay out here, we're shark food!" She dives into the pristine waters of the reef.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">All Contestants:</span>A few hours into the game, everyone will see a military-style helicopter fly into the island and lower something big by rope into the thick jungles south of the mountain and north of the southern shores.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>The female red panda that had taken over Lisa's spot barely has time to sit down before<span style="font-weight: bold">Estrea</span>the multi-breasted taur barges into the room, ripping the doorframe off and inadvertently carrying it along with her. She looks up at the panicky taur with bulging eyes before realizing that she was there for the show. "Woah! Easy there! Calm down...You can't be late for the show....we're shipping new people out to it all the time!" She takes the taur's application and blinks a bit at it before nodding. "I guess this is good. A predator yes?" She smiles and stands up. "All right, we just need to do one thing. Please come with me." She will lead the hapless taur down a hallway and into a dark room, before turning to mist knockout gas into her face from a tube of personal MACE. As some crewmembers cart off the taur's unconscious body (with some difficulty, I might add), she returns to find<span style="font-weight: bold">Ric</span>waiting at her desk. She was about to comment on his cuteness when he makes his own smug comment, and she only frowns at him. "Like all things in life, if you want something, you've got to<span style="font-style: italic">earn</span>it!", she says, giving his application a stamp of approval. "Remove your clothes and and personal belongings and go to one of the boats outside. It'll take you straight to the island, where you can begin competing with the other prey."<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Estrea</span>wakes up sometime around mid-afternoon on the island and in the midst of a thick rainforest-y jungle. You can smell prey all around you, but at the same time, this makes it difficult to get your bearings; The scents are so thick here that it will be hard to find places without the aid of a map and compass.<br/><br/>((OOC: Forgive me my latency friend; there were others who hadn't posted yet, and I was giving them time to post. Still welcoming posts from those who haven't yet and more entries from new people interested in these games.))<br/><br/>Assuming<span style="font-weight: bold">Ric</span>does as told, his boat will take him to a sandbar-penninsula on the southeastern most tip of the island. It's an exposed stretch of beach running for a little under a mile out to sea. It merges with the island's greater beach before terminating immediately in a thick wall of lush foliage. But as long as you are on the sandbar, you're out in the open.<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Game Feed:<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Begin Round One.</span><br/>Julian Bright (male/human) has arrived on the island.<br/>Sera Vipera (female/naga) has established a home.<br/>Akiada Feisou (male/wolf(anthro)) has arrived on the island.<br/>Aaron Rodriguez (male/human) has arrived on the island.<br/>Aurion Starcross (male/elf) has arrived on the island.<br/>Estrea (female/haunter-taur?) has joined as Pred.<br/>Estrea has been moved to the island.<br/>Estrea has awoken, and is hungry.<br/>Ric (male/cat(anthro)) has joined as Prey.<br/>Ric has arrived on the island.
