The STUCK ON A DESERTED ISLAND meme

You're on a deserted island. Far from civilization and any decent wi-fi. It's pretty much what it says on the tin. Maybe you took a wrong turn while out at sea, or you got shipwrecked. Whatever happened, you're stranded here, but at least you've got company.

WHAT DO:
- Leave a comment with your character. You can write your own prompt/s if you want. Indicate your preferences, if any.
- Tag other people. If they left no prompts, use the randomizer.
- ???
- Profit.

PROMPTS:

1 - Where am I? Congratulations, you just survived a...whatever calamity it was that brought you here! Side effects may include disorientation, exhaustion, and exposure to the elements. Better start moving before the sea decides that it wants to keep you.

2 - I'm hungry. You'd better start looking for food while you're at it. And try not to end up as food for the local wildlife. If you don't know how to hunt or forage, it's time for a crash course.

3 - The bare necessities. Some things don't grow on trees or swim freely in the sea. You'll have to improvise and start building anything else you need.

4 - Exploring! You gotta admit, you're curious about what lies beyond the sand and the palm trees. Just be careful, you don't know what - or who - you might find in there.

5 - I'm outta here! Time to put your escape plan into action and hope it works. Or...just scrawl a large S.O.S. in the sand and start waving wildly.

6 - It's like rain on your wedding day. It's raining. Do you seek shelter or keep calm and carry on with whatever you were doing that isn't seeking shelter?

7 - Sleepless nights. Sleeping under the starry night sky (or under a flimsy handmade shed) might be a thing you always wanted, but you kinda wish you were closer to home and that nice wi-fi connection. It's hard to sleep to begin with, too.

8 - Wildcard! Roll for another option or write your own prompt.

Owwwww!

[Sebastian cries out in pain, a crab's claw firmly locked on his hand. He promptly starts whacking it on the carapace with his baton, which had miraculously survived the wreck. So did his special jacket; it's firmly wrapped around his waist now.

The crab lets go, only to clamp down on one of his fingers. Sebastian howls again.]

Mr. Edgewooooorth!

((oh good. Back on another island.))

[ OOC: OTA if it somehow ends up into shippy territory, although I usually prefer F/F... except smut. No smut please! Also, providing a prompt to help get things rolling if you so desire. Feel free to ignore it, if you'd like. ]

[ Optional Wildcard (that includes a lot of the others) starter ]

[ The sun is setting, and Sunset is, well... finding it's a lot colder then she expected. But fire is her element, and instead of complaining like one would expect of most teenage girls, she takes to it rather responsibly; ardently, even, telling herself she WILL get out of here, she WILL see her friends again, and she WILL get help.

She WILL see other life.

She WILL NOT be a victim, by herself, forever. This WILL NOT be how she ENDS. And so a fire is going, and the faint smell of a few fish and some fruit she managed to gather, event a few palm heart of some trees she was able to knock aside after making some makeshift tools. She isn't aware she's not alone, yet. ]

It would be relaxing, they said. She'd have fun, they said! Cruises that cheep didn't come along every day, they said. Well, what the fuck was so relaxing about this?!

She should have known, she thought to herself miserably, as the tiny blow up dingy she'd managed to climb into bobbed along in the ocean, accompanied on either side but the wreckage of the once great Budget Cruise Line vessel. No fucking wonder this cruise was so cheep. The boat had fucking holes in it!

She had no idea where she was now. Somewhere in the Caribbean. That's where they were supposed to go. She was going to die out here, wasn't she? Out here baking to death under a beautiful sun, dehydrated but surrounded by lovely cerulean waves. Fuck her life.

But wait. What was that? An island? An actual, real island? Holy shit!

She jumped up in the boat, and shielded her eyes to see better. Yes! It was an island! She'd be saved. Maybe. Hell, it was better than staying out here. That thought filled her with new determination. She grabbed up the plastic oar that came with the boat and began paddling frantically towards the island. At this rate, maybe she'd make it there by night-fall.

[ Before I tag do you know ToS2 at all? ]

[The next time someone asks Edgeworth why he never takes vacations, he's going to point to this day. He is going to point to the day where he was forced onto a rickety boat, caught in the storm of the century, and washed ashore with a complete weirdo.

(Alright, so Edgeworth is the only one who would describe one of the most luxurious cruise liners in the world as some rickety boat. But do you know what else was the height of luxury at the time? The Titanic. So there.)

Anyway, at least he's alive. Soaked and bruised and scratched, but alive. He turns to his fellow survivor and clears his throat, ready to take charge and form a plan.]

Alright. The first thing we need to do is-

[CRACKABOOM. And the island steals Edgeworth's thunder... with literal thunder. The clear sky was apparently a fluke, because now it's storming again. Lightning flashes as buckets of rain pour from the sky, though thankfully, there are no winds just yet. Edgeworth closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose, breathing harshly. You know what? He's done. He is completely, a hundred percent done right now.]

[ I think M/F for smut if it comes up ]

[At least the skies are still clear, and it's such a beautiful night out tonight! There's even a nearly-full moon up ahead. Despite everything, Phoenix can't help but feel a little peaceful...at least, for the moment.]

It's kind of nice, isn't it, Edgeworth? [if you forget they're in a spot of trouble with no cell phone service and very little food, that is]

[I do but I haven't finished it yet. Not bothered about spoilers though! I think the spoiler mark has long gone.]
