ANNOUNCEMENT: Red sun at morning, sailors take warning.
The morning announcement crackled to life, Tobias' now-familiar voice oddly triumphant and disgusted in turns, "Good morning, friends. Yesterday was quite productive, wasn't it? You are beginning to see your true natures and the natures of those around you now, aren't you? After all, yesterday was very productive at showing what kind of people you all are deep down, wasn't it?" He paused, tapping his finger on the list of deaths. He scrolled down it as he spoke, reading names off.
"The day's activities began when Lennon Weste shot and killed his brother Luke Weste. Isn't that just terrible? Brother against brother? Of course, they never liked each other very much, did they...? But Len must have felt just terrible for shooting before asking who was running at him. Len died by his own hand after, of course. And Casey O'Hara just took it so hard- mowing down Elijah and Leeland Bishop until they were unrecognizable. Of course, his friend Alastar Weste couldn't have that, could he? He shot and killed Casey with Len's own gun after. How poetic. But Abe didn't find it so, did he? After all, he simply decided to steal Casey's weapon and murder Leeland's son, Claus Bishop, with it. He seemed very happy, too, until Amber Hughes took it a little personally. How tragic it all is, isn't it?"
"There are twenty three contestants remaining. I wonder, will all the days after be as productive as this? After all, there can be only one judged to be fit to leave, only one who will leave here with a valuable lesson about human nature- who will it be?"
Tobias paused for a moment, allowing the announcement to sink in before he continued, "I think today we will have a special experiment. I've hidden a special treat on the island, for whoever can find it...a first aid kit. Valuable, isn't it? Something you can use to prolong your own life in hopes of survival? I wonder, how many of you would kill for that kit? Unfortunately, I don't plan on telling you all where it is. You'll have to find out, remembering that the jungle remains a dead zone- you can't enter it, unless you've decided you want to forfeit your life. Oh, but I'll give you one...clue...to finding it...otherwise things wouldn't be fair. The only clue to its location is to follow the sound of my voice. Happy hunting, friends."
Tobias clicked the small button on the microphone, and the loudspeaker went dead. |
