Skybuilder flops on his couch with a sigh, (root) beer in his hand and remote in his other. It had been a long day - building the sky is hard work, mind you, and he’s ready for some R&R… especially since his favorite reality show begins airing it’s 101st season this week.
There’s a little bitter burn in the bottom of his heart as he realizes that he missed the applications by about three hours. He doesn’t know how he just missed them. There’s always next season, he supposes. He turns on the television and turns to the channel right as the commercials slide to an end.
He’s going to miss Geoff Pokest and Christopher Mcclimber, but these new hosts have him intrigued. A fifteen person season, though? That has him floored. Who thought that was a good idea? Are they still going to be split into tribes? He supposes, as he takes a sip of his root beer, that this should at least be an interesting season.
The static blares to life, and the screen are several long shots of the island that there are staying on. A narrator’s voice (maybe Trav’s) begins to do as a narrator does, and narrates, “Hufa-Kinkares. An island in the Bermuda Triangle filled with beautiful animals, a gorgeous ecosystem, and surrounded by tons of shipwrecks and airplanes. This season, fifteen new contestants are going to have to attempt to survive this mythical and terrifying location.”
“Hufa-kinkares?” Skybuilder repeats, leaning his head back. “Weird. Guess you start to run out of places after 101 seasons…”
“The boat approaches, thankfully with no shipwrecks to speak of. These fifteen players are going to have to outlast every other outcast in order to become the victorious castaway. This season, the twists will be explosive, the challenges brutal, and surviving more difficult than ever - but first, they will make it on to the island and settle in. Their location in view now, who knows what schemes these castaways are already dreaming up.”
The camera cuts away to the two hosts with the boat in the background. The wind is blowing, but somehow the mics don’t seem to be picking it up. There are clouds in the sky, but it’s more of a haze than threatening to rain. The water splashes behind them, Atlantic Ocean all encompassing except for the sole boat in the distance.
“I’m Trav,” The host on the left of the camera says.
...Sky pauses and leans in, frowning. Why the fuck is the host wearing a suit and tie on top and goddamn swim shorts on bottom?? Who okayed that???
“And I’m Nyomi ,” The girl next to him says.
...Why is Nyomi dressed for a ball? Isn’t she on a sandy, volatile island? Is this just for day one? He hopes this is just for day one.
“And welcome to Castaway Season 101: Hufa-kinkares.”
And an opening theme begins to play, flashing every contestant’s name and a few good shots of them either competing or surviving, along with some very aesthetic inserts. Sky gets up and stretches. The music is a bop. It’s always a bop. There’s a reason they haven’t changed the core of the theme song since the show began.
Finally, the title sequence draws to a close, and we go into… a commercial? Already? Fuck offffffff. Sky gets up and makes some instant mac ‘n cheese, before plopping back down right as the show returns.
As the show returns, all of the castaways begin to step on the beach, before lining up. Nyomi and Trav face their backs to the ocean as all fifteen castaways appear to be sizing them up. Sky notices a few staring at Trav’s beach trousers. This is well deserved.
“Welcome to Hufa-Kinkares, castaways! Hope you’re all doing well!” Nyomi says, grinning, “This will be your home for the next 39 days. Please, try not to get bit by any snakes.”
“Assuming you make it through the challenges, navigate the social game and scheme your way to victory, that is. Outlast every outcast,” Trav follows up with a shit-eating smirk.
There’s a moment as all fifteen contestants appear to survey the island. More inserts of animals. Mhm, yes, that’s an island.
“However, for at least one of you, that 39 days will be nothing more than a pipe dream. After all, surely you’ve noticed that there’s an odd number of you?” Nyomi says, putting her hand on her hips. “How are we going to separate you into tribes like that, hmm?”
And there’s a drop on the contestants' faces.
“That’s right, folks. Your first challenge is very simple - and rather, not a challenge at all. We will be having a unified tribal in twenty four hours. Your goal in the next twenty four hours? Survive the tribal. This is a social game, after all,” Trav smirks, “Better put that to work early.”
“Many of you said something akin to, ‘I’m not here to make friends, I’m here to win,’ on your apps. Well, you better rethink that if you would like to be one step closer to a million dollars. We’ll see you this time tomorrow, castaways.”
And Nyomi and Trav talk off, leaving all the contestants to stare each other down.
Sky shovels another mouthful of macaroni in his mouth. Not the most flashy start, but the potential to be VERY exciting. No one wants to be the first boot, even moreso for something completely out of their hands. Sky can’t wait to see how this goes down.

Here we are! Castaway Season 101 is live, and you've already got your first competition. What a strange one for a first comp, but hey, I don't make the rules. Or perhaps I do.
We got some general rules for this game to get out of the way first, though -
Rules:
Make sure to bold your votes, dear god, please.
When you use your Role Ability on another player, you will visit them. This will be important for some Role Abilities.
Odd numbered nights are Good Nights, Even numbered nights are Terrible Nights
Softclaiming is fine, posting Host PMs (or PMs of any kind) is not.
You may PM other players, just PM one of the hosts with whatever you said if you do.
Roleplaying is encouraged, but of course, not mandatory.
PM Sample_Text for role actions, and for any flavour related PMs, please PM Nyomi.
I'll also carry over what was in the original sign up thread for convenience:
With that out of the way, it's time for our first day phase! Get to discussing, and figure out who you want to vote off the island first. Me and Trav are going to be enjoying the chaos from our hammocks sipping some really amazing alcohol. Sucks y'all can't have any, because this is top tier shit.

Hi, I’m new here, what is this… “Mafia?”
Well, I'm glad you asked, person I made up.
Mafia is a game based around social deception. It involves a group of people called “the Town” trying to kill a smaller group called “the Mafia”. Oh, and the Mafia are also trying to kill the town, but they are a lot faster at it.
There are two “Phases” of the game: “Daytime”, and “Nighttime”. Both of these Phases are roughly 24 hours long in real time.
During the Daytime, all the players will vote on someone to kill, whoever has the most votes will die at the end of the Daytime. Once Daytime ends, it is now Nighttime.
During the Nighttime, the Mafia will choose to kill someone. Additionally, anyone who has a role action will also be able to do things during the night time. Once Nighttime ends, it becomes Daytime again.
And that’s the gist of it.
Well that’s cool, but it seems a little plain… are you doing anything cool?
That's kinda rude to ask (especially for an imaginary person), but as a matter of fact, yes.
In Mafia CI, everyone will have a role. And there are two third-party roles, both with different win conditions than everyone else. Don’t worry, I’ll give a little breakdown of all the different roles later. I feel like it's only fair that everyone has some idea of what they’re getting into. Oh also, in this game, there are two different kinds of Nighttime: a Good Night, and a Terrible Night. These affect certain role abilities, but don’t mean anything on their own.
So what about these roles, Punkass?
Ok, now you’re just being mean. I’m going to un-imagine you.
AAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaa------
Sick, now about those roles.
Bitchy Castaways (The Mafia)
Queen Bee - See: the Godfather (i.e. final say on nightkill, immune at night, shows up as town if investigated)
Right-Hand Girl - at Nighttime, makes a player unable to speak or vote until the next Nighttime.
Nasty Castaways (Third Party)
Heartless - During a Terrible Night, kills a player, and everyone who visits them.
Manipulator - at Nighttime, can control one player and forces them to use their role action on another player.
Decent Castaways (Town)
Nerd - at Nighttime, researches a player and determines their alignment, (Bitchy, Nasty, or Decent)
Jock - at Nighttime, protects a player from a nightkill.
Society Man - at Nighttime, may kill a player. Can only do this twice.
Police Cadet - at Nighttime, may jail a player and question them anonymously.
Goth Kid - Can talk with Deceased players.
Weeaboo - ??? They’re trying to tell me, but I legitimately can’t understand them.
Theatre Kid - at Nighttime, can see who visited a specific duo of players.
Magician - at Nighttime, does a funny trick involving two players.
Heartthrob - at Nighttime, makes a player admire them.
Dreamer - at Nighttime, has vague dreams, telling them a thing or two.
Copycat - I don’t know, whatever they do, they haven’t shown me yet.

Currently face down in a spilled, melted puddle of a 711 cherry slushie in a Denny's Parking Lot with the ruined remains of my Danny Phantom fanfiction just out of my grasp. I think I hear the whispers of the ghost boy laughing at me in the distance, but that may be the delirium.
