Seawater has enough salt in it that your body uses up more water getting rid of the salt than you gain by drinking it.

Can't you just swim over there? Alternatively, just paddle with your hands.

1. Wait for the boat to dock.
2. Move the boat to dry land.
3. Search the boat for more items and clues.

Note: you may want to check the boat and the trail you leave, in case something important falls off the boat.

You've never been super fond of swimming in big bodies of water. Who knows what types of sharks , jellyfish, or parasites you'd encounter. You think it's possible but you'd have to really want to try it to get past your hesitations about the ocean, and as for paddling it'd be hard to do in something that looks like a big metal cabinet.

You don't have voices in your head.

You have normal thoughts like everyone else, whoever anyone else might be at this moment. Sometimes you even talk to yourself when you're lonely, though you're not lonely often. Just right now for some reason even though it's a beautiful day.

Does the island look deserted, or are there signs of civilization. if it is the latter, call for help if someone is nearby.

So wait, are you wearing JUST an apron?

There's nothing wrong with just wearing an apron.....is there? I've always worn one, why would I go naked? There's not even any building or people around

Can you swim?
If you can, then get to the shore on your own.
If not, try to pry off door and use it as paddle.

Why were you in a box?

Focus on remembering what has happened. But after you reach dry land, and move the boat so that you can leave if you need to.

Key Questions:
1. Do you remember who you are? Your name? Your past? And of course, your skillset? Recall every single detail. Not only will each one allow you to do more on this island, but they'll help you remember just how much you're worth to the world.
2. Try to remember why the hell you're in a box, out at sea. Doesn't the box look... familiar?
3. Why? Why all this? You're a girl in the middle of the ocean, out on an island, floating in a box that acts like a coffin and you've found a key with no idea how to use it. Why would anyone ever do this to you? If you ask yourself this question, you might be able to pull apart the mystery of how you got here, what you're supposed to do to leave, and whether or not this is one big accident or something more.
4. Try to remember t h e f a c I l I

...Is this one big experiment?

Pressing on the buttons seems to do nothing right now.

Try pulling off a couple of those large quills from your back, and use those as paddles. Don't poke yourself.

push buttons for now, not like there's anything else you can do right now.

Do you have any idea of the water level right now? It's not too shallow enough to stand in or anything, right?

Why don't you just FLY there!

Seriously though you have only two options: swim, or paddle with your hands.

Your apron isn't big enough to make a sail. I feel like it might be possible to tie it to a quill to use it as an oar but I don't know exactly how.

You start to paddle your hardest

If you start feeling tired, go back in the box and rest until you are ready to paddle again. We don't want you drowning.

you said one of the buttons open the box right? was there a lid you could use as a paddle, I mean if it just slid off or something I would think that it would also float seeing as it's made of the same stuff as your box and the surface area would be the same.

>>605083

Pull the box away from the water, and then have a look around.

First things first, we have to find some fresh water. maybe boil it with a campfire so you don't get sick drinking it?

well that was convenient, anyways pull the box a bet further up on shore so the tide doesn't wash it away and maybe see what you can see. I would hold off on the exploring until day when you can actually see things and not lose your bearings easier and get lost.

"Is that a crab near that log? it's very hard to see it. Either way I have to find some way to start up a camp and right now I've got nothing to go on. I'm not sure what I should do first."

Tinder
branches
Logs

remember, trees are flammable, but thicker sections have a naturally better defense against fire. You need to find some dry and thin stuff - dry grass, leaves, hay, or something else. If you're desperate, potato chips make great firestarters - all that oil in the chips is HIGHLY flammable. Put that on top of twigs and bushes, and put those on top of logs. And that's how you prepare a campfire.

Stones are good for preventing the fire from spreading, but it's easier to just set a fire on the beach. Finally, you're going to need tinder or matches to start fires. Save up the matches, they're really useful. If you need to use up a match, don't immediately put it out like in the movies, unless you need to stop fires instantly. Light different branches simultaneously. If you're REALLY desperate, rub the key against a rock and let the sparks fly.

>>605415
"Boy I wish I had matches......so basically I'm going to have to wander up into the creepy ass forest to get things started?"

While it is important to craft and find some supplies, I don't think it would be harmful to do some exploration. Just make sure you have a way of remembering how to get out and where your metal box is.

And remember to move the box up the shore so that it doesn't get carried away by the tide!

It just ends in a clearing...nothing spooky besides a very very dark forest. but it's probably not worse than a very very dark open beach right?

People don't make trails for no reason.
Look around for an old firesite - the simplest explanation is that this is an old camp.

Find a tree to sleep against until morning, no sense in exploring in the dark. Cover yourself with some leaves, but check for bugs so nothing crawls on you in your sleep.

>>605824
*sniff* "I don't know what that clown was, but it really upset me."

It's okay. take deep breaths. Maybe now would be a good time to find some water to also calm you down.

I'm gonna go ahead and say sleeping on this island probably is connected to the nightmares, so from now on be prepared for them each night.

Try and calm down, I guess we need to start heading further into the woods.

"Something to drink would be a good idea but I'm out of trail to follow....I guess I could wander father into the woods."

>You start to make your way into the forest from the clearing.

Okay, take a moment to think, here.

Do you think there is ANY credible and official psychotherapy which involves taking an amnesiac and pummeling them with wave after wave of damning guilt based on actions that they literally do not remember?

Whoever that clown is, if wallowing in self-pity is the best possible action that you can take, then this world is likely fucked up.

Your sister might be dead, and it might be your fault. But that doesn't mean that a fucking psycho bully has the right to own and control you like a slave. If you have free will, then you can still make an impact. Do the best you can, whatever that is.

Okay, agenda for the day: You're in unknown territory, you have a few inventory items, and you don't have a renewable survival schedule.

1. Intel. Look around, find landmarks to find your way across the island, and find something to write with. You're going to want to memorize as much of the island as you can without going nuts. Knowing where the dead ends and hard-to-reach places are may be the difference between life and death.

2. Food and water: You're dangerously low on food, you need to find an easy way of stockpiling food. Then, you need to find a good source of clean water. Even rainwater must be filtered.

3. Shelter: Build a shelter. You may want to build high so that you aren't attacked by wild animals. Or, you may want to build some defenses around the beach for easy access. Worst-case scenario, use the box like a vampire coffin, since it looks like it was built to withstand bullets and animal attacks.

Keep trying to remember why you're here.

Honestly, the clearing you're in is probably a better place for a camp than the beach - it's more sheltered.

It order to survive, you're going to need shelter, water, and food. The fire and the trees are probably going to be enough shelter for now, and food can usually wait.

So you should build a fire, and then explore the island for water.

"Oh god dammit!"

"This is getting stupid now....."

Okay, What the Fuck?

Whoever this lunatic is, I don't see any good way of getting away from them right now.
Open the box carefully, but keep in mind finding water and starting a fire are still priorities.

There is a name tag on the gift. what does it say?

".....it says Labelle again."


"IM NOT LABELLE!"

Best Case Scenario: Your sister loves you a lot. This all turns out to be one big surprise party of some kind.

Worst Case Scenario: You die at the height of the welcoming party. Anything you never wanted to happen occurs now.

Expected Case Scenario: This whole island scenario is some kind of test, and you are being stalked by a psycho.

Play the game for now, but be ready to improvise the moment you see an opportunity. Right now, you have no idea what you're doing, no long-term plans for survival, and no skills to fight your stalker. Once that changes, stop blindly following orders and go on the offensive.

Show yourself what you're really capable of.

Oh, and before I forget, I use d3be40 sometimes.

Well, you are not Labelle, then clearly this gift isn't for you. Carry on.

"I don't know if I'm scared anymore....I think he might just be retarded...."

"There's another note, a doll, and a thing with a red button on it."

since this gift was meant for Labelle, and not you, do not take the doll. You can read the note though, and push the button if you'd like.

Screw this.

Start walking out parallel to the beach; you to need to find potable water, and boxes full of rubbish won't help.

On your travels back to the beach you decide to read the note. It is far less creepy this time and just says "For help push button love you". Still creepy but not as bad. So you put the button into the inventory making sure not to touch it and leave the box behind. Pushing on ahead you reach a log with a crab hanging out by it.

Say hi to the crab. Hope he isn't crabby.

Try to get the crab to follow you.

Might make a nice pet.

Are the spatula and spoon plastic, or metal? If at least one of them is metal, and you can find some pyrophoric rocks (such as flint), that'd be a major shortcut to starting a fire compared to pure friction techniques. Consider using the "yums" as tinder, but only a spoonful at a time.

In terms of food, you just threw away about two pounds of fresh sushi. In terms of allies, you just insulted and abused a potential pet. In terms of future endeavors, if that crab has a family of other crabs or monsters which get angry when one of their own is attacked, or if the clown psycho is watching you play throw-the-crab...

Whatever. Search the area, there may be more items around the log. Keep looking for sharp objects that can be used as tools or weapons.

It's a faceless clown-like doll made of cloth

looks like the clown from your dreams. Shall we put it back in the box?

Please do not throw the doll away. It may provoke the stalker.

Drawing the clown face might be scary, but it may unlock something within the doll! Of course, without any customized drawing tools, you're likely to damage the doll instead.

...Please ignore the fact that it looks like a... bowling pin.

You can have more fun with something else (Not the panties though!). That may be a good idea, find something to 'play' with.

You know, grab some round rocks, jab a few sticks in the ground, roll some rocks around. It's too bad none of those sticks are hollow, you could put rocks in them and make a sweet blowpipe weapon.

But in all seriousness please find some rope or a cutting tool. The longer you stay idle without tools the more options the stalker has.

You decide to "Put the clown back in the box" because it's alittle weird to be carrying it around.

"I need to figure out some tools."

"This is my inventory, I'm sure I could use the rocks and trees to hep make something. I'm just not sure right now."

Build a barrier using the rocks, sticks, and trees:

Build a fence using rocks and sticks and place the endpoints near the trees surrounding the clearing. Dig the sticks diagonally so that they criss-cross, and place stones near the sticks so that they support the sticks.

This barrier won't be enough to deal with most animals, but it's good for dissuading packs (especially with a fire on) and can be upgraded easily.

The dehydration makes it difficult to sleep or think straight, luckily you ate the rest of the bran so you're not starving. Weird thoughts fly though your head all night but nothing solid enough to grasp onto. You finally wake up and press the button to release the hatch, but it won't open.

Call out to someone.

"hello? helloooooooooooo"

"Hello"

Kick door open

Hm... you can breathe in that coffin, right?

Okay, sleeping involves using less oxygen while your mind re-asserts itself. While you stay awake, various functions in your body and mind overexert themselves and need a cooldown/repair/resynchronization period. This is normal.

Decide whether or not you need more sleep or water. And listen for wild animals. Knowing which ones are awake at night and which ones are awake during the day is vital to survival.

Ask him how they're doing, don't be rude.

"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.

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."

"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.

"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."

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.

>>608124
Bad idea. What if it shows up somewhere that isn't her inventory?

...Yeah.

So, does anyone have a good idea for a compass? Making or finding a compass will save some time reaching the survivor outpost.

>>608124
What should replace it?

>>608136
Why would a compass help?
So far, we've never had an issue with being able to see the sky

>>608141
A nearby rock, or maybe some tall grass, or a stick. Whatever is nearby really.

>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
That doesn't sound like a bad idea, have some fun with Lil' Purp.

"Ok purp, while we're waiting for fish it's time to play."

"Fetch:

>Lil'purp....just sits there and pbbbbbbhts

"pbbbbbbbbht"

"You're not very useful are you?

"pbbbbbht"

>>608769
Please do not insult your new friend. You know he may be sentient. Just keep playing, use food as an incentive this time.

>>608773
you don't have food yet

>>608776
...You seriously ate ALL the bran?

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.

Time to check on the net

>Success! Time to gather everything and get ready for the trip to the other side.

...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.

(look at the trees on the beach....palm tress...doesnt matter why but you can weave the leaves as they are thin)

"Good thing I was a seamstress. Oh hey i remembered something! My sister and I had our own store."

Normally, I would send fish to the museum, but we need to survive. Lets cook those fish.

Yeah? What kind of store?

>>610617
(how do you guys feel about text updates for when i'm not near my laptop for a long time?)

>You gather up the fish, rub those sticks together into the tinder to get it started and have yourself a meal. After a while you pack your little camp up and try and decide whether it'd be a good idea to go to the other side of the camp at night or in the morning. While you sit and ponder some other thoughts divert your attention.

"I sure miss the store, it was small and we didn't have alot of customers but we sure made some neat clothes."

>whether it'd be a good idea to go to the other side of the camp at night or in the morning.
Definitely wait for morning light, this place isn't short of weird crap to throw at you.

>I sure miss the store
How much can you remember now?

>>611123

>You decide to wait till the morning so you get into your metal box and use lil purp as a pillow. You decide to start thinking about your past to see what you can remember.

"Well I know we had a clothing shop. We made some damn fine stuff. My sister really did most the work while I handled the customers. Things were good. We didn't sell a whole lot but apparently it was enough to keep the place open. I'm not sure though my sister did most the paper too."
