((OOC: No Ricochet, it's never too late to join. Even when the game is already underway, new contestants and new predators can be shipped to the island.))<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Kathy Yellow</span>is accepted, the rabbit seeming grateful for the presence of another girl on the show as a contestant.<span style="font-weight: bold">Glaive</span>is also accepted, but as a predator, and the two are directed to the different rooms. The rabbit waits for only a moment longer before sitting back down and leaning against the back of her seat...though she doesn't have long to wait before<span style="font-weight: bold">Sera</span>slithers into the room. Lisa watches her curiously as she fills out the necessary forms and signs all the waivers, and she blushes at the mention that the naga had watched her on the show.<br/><br/>"R-really?", she asks. "Why thank you! Myself and my surviving brothers are still around..." She looks down shyly. "I might have to hold you to that, as I'm going to be a contestant this year myself. Following in ma's footsteps..." She looks back up and smiles. "The predators go to wait in that room over there."<br/><br/>***<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Predator Waiting Room:</span><br/><br/>The room is rather drab looking; like the executive luncheon space in a hotel, only a lot smaller. There is a table set up in a nook with a large punch bowl and several glasses filled with the stuff, and several of the shows predators are standing about, some already famous from previous seasons.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Kamau</span>walks in and will recognize some of them immediately, especially Rachel, the female Raichu in the black and purple corset, who is talking to a sabertoothed kangaroo named Dana over some punch. Upon entering, the winner of the first ever Game of Life turns and offers you a glass, the prey-turned predator giving you a big fang-filled smile. "Well, lookie here, we have some newcomers. It's a pretty sweet deal, isn't it? Bein' on this show?"<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Glaive</span>and<span style="font-weight: bold">Sera Vipera</span>enter the room next and are given similar greetings, the fanged kangaroo offering the two a glass of punch as a lizardman gives Sera an interested eye, looking over her form. There will be a few moments of mingling amongst the predators before they start passing out, falling over onto the floor or slumping over in chairs. "Oh damn, I should've warned you." Rachel says. "They spiked the punch....don't want us to see the whole island...on the way iiinnn.." She slumps over the table and rolls to the floor, unconscious.<br/>One by one the predators collapse. Regardless of their various physiologies, it affects them all, though is quite harmless.<br/><br/>An indeterminate amount of time later, they will all reawaken, naked and in a strange land. Each of them will have a small electronic tag on their ears for tracking-existing piercings are used for this whenever possible, but those who aren't pierced now are, and will likely be a little sore. The tag cannot be removed without causing considerable damage to the ear. Each one wakes up just like this, but you are all in different places...<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Kamau</span>finds himself laying on his back in a glade full of soft, tall grasses. A clearing surrounded by woods, the land consists of gently rolling hills, and a mountain can be seen in the distance, towering over the trees. A fresh breeze rolls past, carrying clean grassy scents, but no hint of nearby prey. It's actually rather cozy here, and very comfortable despite the lack of clothes.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Glaive</span>awakens somewhere a little less pleasant, but not unbearably so. You find yourself propped up on the inside of a cave and step out to find yourself at a very high altitude, surrounded by rocks and snow. You appear to be on top of the island's highest mountain, and can see the forest stretching on down below you, alpine giving way to regular woods and then thick jungles below. Pristine beaches are the farthest out, and you can even see some ships coming into the island from different directions. Fishing vessels and canoes. Small boats. The air is thin yet still breathable, and probably the only reason the thin layer of snow doesn't melt in the summer sun, which keeps the air just warm enough to be crisp and not cold, even when naked.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Sera</span>will rouse on some very pleasant feeling rocks near a trickling brook. The rocks feel really great because they've been warmed by the sun, and reflect that warmth into her. Though even away from those rocks, it's still hot enough out that she won't miss her clothes. There are lots of trees to the north and south, but the grass grows sparsely through the sand which covers the earth here. The brookwaters smell sweet, but the air itself has a tinge of the sea. These sands probably lead down to one of the island's many beaches.<br/><br/>The game's other predators awaken in similar predicaments, scattered at random throughout different locations on the island. Glenn Island is a place of beauty; the weather is partly cloudy with lots of sun.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Prey Waiting Room:</span><br/><br/>Time passes. From her position at the desk, Lisa can watch as the Gameshow's crewmembers enter the predator room and begin carting out the unconscious employees for processing. In order to ensure that no predator had an advantage, they were drugged into a deep sleep while transported to the island and placed in random locations all separate from each other. They would have to find their prey (and each other) on their own, without any prior idea of what the island looks like. She knew that they would also be stripped, to make sure that they weren't smuggling anything in on their persons. She knew the prey would have to do it too, though she was used to it; having spent her formative years on the show without much in the way of garments anyways. Standing up, she turns her post over to a regular employee before joining the others in the Prey waiting room.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Julian Bright</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Aaron Rodriguez</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Akiada Feisou</span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Aurion Starcross</span><br/>and<span style="font-weight: bold">Kathy Yellow</span>are all in the room before her, and there are no other entrants aside from them; they are the first roster for the new season.<br/><br/>"Welcome to the third season of The Game Of Life: Survival Show.", Lisa says. "From here on out, your lives are in your hands. I sincerely hope you all have what it takes to be successful out there on Glenn's Island." If what she says sounds like some kind of script, that'd be because it is. Some of you might look up to see cameras mounted on the walls, all trained on you. "We will be moving to the island shortly.", Lisa continues. "Once you are there, all assistance from the show  is cut off to you; unless if you find a hidden treasure which can either help or hinder your quest, you will have no assistance. Now I need each of you to take off your clothes, as the Show does not permit bringing anything from the outside world except our own bodies."<br/><br/>Lisa follows suit by taking off her tank top, rolling it up over her head to reveal her well rounded breasts, covered with the same mottled brown and white patterned fur that she wears over the rest of her body, except for the pink of her nipples. Unperturbed, she undoes her belt and shimmies out of her pants and panties, stepping out of the garments and presenting her well toned naked body to the room. "You are welcome to fashion your own clothes if you feel it necessary, but I'm afraid you can't bring anything with you.", she says, looking sympathetically at the humans in the room. "I know we don't all have fur, but we are entering the island during the height of the summer season. I assure you it is more comfortable outdoors there than it is in this air conditioned room."<br/><br/>Once everyone is out of their clothes, she motions to plastic bins each of them can place their belongings in. That done, she leads them out to the docks, where each of them will find a separate boat waiting, captained by an employee of the show. Some of them are bass boats, some deep sea fishing rigs, others are more like indian canoes, but each one has a skilled crewperson that can get each of the contestants to the island. Stepping onto one of the boats, the rabbit turns to smile at them. "We will each be dropped off at a random beachside location. I wish you all the best of luck, and hope to meet some of you there!"<br/><br/>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br/>Game feed:<br/><br/>Julian Bright (male/human) has joined as Prey.<br/>Aaron Rodriguez (male/human) has joined as Prey.<br/>Akiada Feisou (male/wolf(anthro)) has joined as Prey.<br/>Kamau Camacho (male/spotted hyena(anthro)) has joined as Predator.<br/>Aurion Starcross (male/elf) has joined as Prey.<br/>Kathy Yellow (female/human) has joined as Prey.<br/>Sera Vipera (female/naga) has joined as Predator.<br/>Rachel Veras (female/Raichu(anthro)) has joined as Predator.<br/>Dana Tate (female/Kangaroo-Sabertooth mix(anthro)) has joined as Predator.<br/>Lisa  (female/lop eared rabbit(anthro)) has joined as Prey.<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Predators</span>have been moved to the island.<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Prey</span>en-route to the island.<br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Predators</span>have woken.
