"How are you doing?"

a female voice answers

"I'm ok.........Hey Isa....can you hear this too?"

"Miss how do we get you out of there?"

Good question... I've got nothin.
Are there any buttons you can press on the inside or outside of the box?

Careful, this might be a trap!

Create mental shields in case this girl is one of the stalker's gang or someone not on your side.

Do you think your name is Isa? Sounds a lot like Isaac, maybe you were named after him. That would suck.

First question: where are you? If she says that you're in a box, that is still important information. Analyze and process everything she says, and be ready to defend yourself if she turns out to be an enemy.

>You press the same button you did the first time you opened the box. The door pops open and you are greeted by these two looking down at you and your metal box.

"Oh hello, sorry about sitting on the box. Why were you inside it?"

"Coco, let people do what they want. Anyways, it's nice to meet you...erm...what's your name? "

Wow, what a couple of cuties.
Too bad you don't have a name to present to them, none that you know of yet.

Make sure you are not looking at hand puppets.

Then explain your situation carefully.

These girls might have their own agenda! Be careful!

For the moment, you need tools. Ask for simple tools and trade some stuff if you have to.

"I'm sorry...I actually don't remember my name. I must have hit my head or something."

"Hmm well that's ok. I'm sure you'll tell us when you're able. What are you doing out here in a box anyways?"

"you're able."

Try not to give them too much information. As far as you know, you have no idea where you are or how you got here.

"When i'm able huh? how bout we go with that? I can be able...it has a nice ring to it."

Then you tell them about the trip from the ocean to now while leaving out any clown or sister related details and they sit there and think for a second.

"You sure you're not dead? That looks an awful lot like a coffin hahaha! Just kidding....anyways I know where to get fresh water for you, but I'm not sure about food and tools."

Yeah, this is the point where the con women usually claim that they're helping you when they could have looted you earlier, but are in fact suckering you because they don't have enough information about you to tell if conning you is a good idea or a "you played me, I kill you now with supah-skills" idea.

Unfortunately, you're thirsty and may die if you don't get some water soon. Follow them but be sure to look for sources of water while walking - they may have poisoned those too, though, so be careful.

Your new "friends" seem... off. Ask them about the island you're on... if it even is an island. The more intel you gain, fake or real, the more plans and strategies you can come up with.

On the plus side, the fact that you're not alone with a stalker for company is pretty comforting, regardless of whether or not these girls are on your side or not. Tell them about the stalker once you're sure that they didn't poison any of their "trusted" water sources.

>You step outside the box and start following them, talking as you walk.

"So what's up with this island? What can you tell me about it?"

"Not a whole lot really. It's what you'd expect of a deserted island with a bunch of ship wrecked people on it."

:ableison: "Ship wrecked?"

"Yeah...we saw some others around here talking about it. We thought you were stuck here like they were."

"I really don't know what's going on right now. But if there's others maybe you can introduce me?"

"If you want....it's only two days walk towards the morning sun. They're kind of near the opposite side of the island so you'll know you're near them if you hit the beach."

"Be careful though, there's one or two others on the island who you don't want to meet up with."

"Well why is that?"

"Because one is paid by the owner of the islands to do dirty business, and the other is some creepy guy in a mask."

You arrive at freshwater

Ask if it is safe to drink, then drink some if it is.

Wait for them to drink first, then drink. Be sure to check and see if the girls pull out containers of any kind.

Unfortunately, you need water, even if the water is poisoned and the girls have already taken antidotes.

After the drink (if you're still conscious) ask about the "owner" of the islands. Then make sure that the creepy guy in a mask is the stalker.

Party Trick: the stalker likely put the doll of himself back into your inventory. Pull it out if possible, and then ask for a writing tool. Draw an approximate of his mask on the face of the doll and ask if this is the guy.

Also, ask for clothes. You are no longer alone with the crab and stalker. Or you could go skinny dipping with the girls as a friendship bonding ritual but that's probably messed up.

>>607305
Or you could just go skinny dipping for amusement, ya know, since people are around.

No harm in chilling out for a second, at least these people look nice compared to what you've seen on this damned island.

Seconding the whole skinny dipping antics thing. :>

But really though, you might wanna do some scouting of the immediate area, make sure you're not in for any nasty surprises.

Put on your clothes, then decide if you want to go back to the coffin or to the survivors on the other side of this island.

Right now, you STILL have a pathetic excuse for supplies and defense, but your defense exists and you have a really good shelter that defends against most animal attacks at the cost of oxygen.

But you're hungry, undersupplied and underequipped. The survivors can do horrible things to you, but only if you're not dead. You may want to test how well you can trust them. Take what you need and pay back everything that they do for/to you.

What is that in front of your nose?
Also, rip the doll's head off, and throw it as far as you can.

>>607540
Remember what happened last time when she threw the crab?

Just keep it for now. Maybe the stalker just gives these out for kicks. Possibly because he has an assortment of hand-crafted dolls that are completely useless. Or maybe they're a clue!

Just... enjoy yourself. Nobody here. Except possibly the stalker, who will probably help you if you give him a shrill song and a ferverent dance.

take peep

I have a plan. Have it drink blood from your armpits. Then squeeze it to shoot concentrated poisonous blood at your enemies while screaming:

"Nothing says blood magic like 'Fart Noises'!"

...Or you could stop joking around and just put the purple pharter in your inventory already. I'd say p******k but that's disturbing and you don't want to disturb the other survivors.

"Come on little purple...thing....little purp....lil purp...there we go."

Lil' purp is too fat and alive to fit into your inventory so he'll rest on your shoulder or find other means to move around.

Now that you are moving again, rip the clown doll's head open, and throw it.

Please ignore the urge to feed the doll to Lil' Purp. It may make him insane and homicidal.

See if Lil' Purp can do any tricks, and be sure to ask the next survivor you see (yes, even the stalker) if you are in fact carrying around a weapon of mass destruction.

And then ask if Lil' Purp is on your side or is suckering you into "meeting his extended family for dinner".

And please give Lil' Purp a better name.

... Okay, why do you love throwing things so much?

Maybe it has something to do with your past.

I think it has something to do with the stalker who is likely going to harass you within six hours.

Now lets get begin our journey to the other side of the island.

"Now I need to go to the other side of the island, but if it's going to take a couple of days I'm going to need to find food still, possibly something to protect myself with, and something to hold water in.

Not to mention that since these guys are survivors they might have a camp already and maybe we can all find a way off the island. So here's the big question....do I need to bring anything else with me?"

Eh, not really. You may as well get going.

If you really need to spend one more hour at the coffin shelter, take the spatula and bowl. Combine the spoon and bowl if necessary. Remember to close up the present box, and try adding a second fence around the coffin to prevent people from directly stealing from it.

Then get going. Go back to the river and use the bowl to carry some water for the long trip. If you're worried about spilling then drink before you go to bed.

Finally, is there any bran left? Your new friend might want some.

Just curious, are you feeling any... strange sensations since your little skinny dip?

Anything to do with that doll possibly?

"Thinking back to the bath I was taking...my stomach did feel weird. In fact probably the whole walk it was feeling like that."

That is because you are hungry. Lets fill up that stomach of yours.

"Maybe it was just me being hungry haha! So....hunting or gathering? I can do both I'm a grown woman."

Well, two possibilities come to mind:

1. You ate your sister.
2. You're pregnant.

Yep, welcome to Panicville, Strange Island. Population: You and growing.

Lets find another crab. Do not throw him this time. Save your throwing energy for creepy dolls

"Yeah I should try going fishing, just need to make a line and a hook since i already have sticks for a pole.

Maybe Lil' Purp can catch fish?

Look, you don't have good materials to catch fish. Even if you twist the panties and bend the spatula, that's a whole perfectly good tool broken and possible danger of contracting a disease, just for a low-grade hook and line.

Why not just forage for food in bushes and trees? Lil' Purp may have abilities that can help him reach places that contain food! Just be sure to help him get the food that he wants, in return.

I wonder what Lil' Purp tastes like...

>>607685
NO.

You just met him, he's friendly, and you're not starving. Please do not give your new partner a reason to backstab you.

Strange, why are there no ripe fruits anywhere? Ask Lil' Purp if he can find some fruit in the nearby area. If it's too hard for Lil' Purp to crack with his own beak, use one of the rocks (and gravity) to split the fruit-shell in half.

no harming purp

Fine, but don't rule it out as a possibility in the future. You never know what could end up happening.

This is the anatomy of lil'purp

it is mostly made up of fat and adorable....no sharp or even hard parts it seems, also he smells slightly odd and his rubbery skin does not look delicious.

It's possibly this is a mutant football that deflated alittle bit but if you had to guess it's more like a worm or snake that someone fed too much. Think of it as the corgi of freaky worm things....in other words lil'purp is not very useful for much outside company right now as the plump jello body seems to have a calming effect on you.

"Ok so if I make a thin line and a hook AND find some bait AND make a fire I'll be set for food. Rubbing two stick together is not going to be too hard I don't think, but I need to eye up the right things in order to set up properly."

>"Ok so if I make a thin line and a hook AND find some bait
A net would probably be easier.

>Rubbing two stick together is not going to be too hard I don't think
It's actually pretty tricky. In particular, a lot of people don't realise that the selection of wood is important. Not only does it have to be dry, but it also has to be very hard. You can also use dry fine sand to increase the friction.

" A net does sound like a good idea, and those trees on the beach have the right kind of leaves. After I set the net I can work on the fire. I still have plenty of rubbish to work as tinder."

Nice work! I didn't think that the sticks, rocks, and leaves would be sturdy enough to make a river net. But it worked!

Okay, get the spatula and bowl, they should be good enough to scoop up fish and small objects from your net.

...Kinda strange how STURDY these sticks are. You've kept them in your inventory for about a day, and they're still not snapped? The rocks make sense, though.

You gathered up those things and you're ready to go do camp stuff.

the doll is back again. Discard it, and replace it with something else. That way, your inventory will be too full for it to show up again.

>You grab some rocks and head back to camp. After getting the fire started you'll see about catching anything in your net and then head off to the other side of the island hopefully finding new friends and possibly your sister.

So how did you light the fire?

Anyways, you may want to sleep in for the night. Your two new neighbors know where this place is, so it's not like you're stranded out here.

...Unless the coffin freeze-dries you and keeps you unconscious for over 12 months. Unlikely, though.

You have the materials, your shelter is still standing (which says good things about it), and the only problem is that you're starving, which shouldn't be a problem if Lil' Purp can find food for you to cook.

So first thing to do? Play some games with Lil' Purp. Test his abilities. Put some bran in hard-to-reach places (two feet above ground, in a small box, close to the fire) and see what he does. Once you have a rough estimate of his abilities, set out and find some food.

>>608409

Whatever. Take a walk with Lil' Purp and look for food or other survivors. Next time Lil' Purp makes a fart noise, stop and carefully observe your surroundings - he may sense fruit or danger. Either one should supply you with adequate food.

For something so fat and squishy, he's pretty motionless. Push him along a little.

...How are you holding up a net made out of leaves and sticks without breaking it?

For that matter, how are you capable of making such high-quality equipment (fences, nets) out of simple sticks and stones and leaves?

Maybe you made things for a living before all this. But what has to do with making stuff and throwing things?

At least you finally have something to eat. Cook the fish and eat on your way to the other side. Put the net next to the river so someone else can use it.

You may want to find a way to trap the fish so that they breed and live in some open pool, making harvests easier.
