CAST AWAY

You're really doomed. Lost on a deserted island with no hope of rescue, you will surely starve to death, if some horrible beast doesn't kill you first. Or if a storm doesn't destroy your pathetic shelter. Or if pirates don't come to ravage you.
You're finally free. Miles away from any of your responsibilities or any other people, you can finally focus on the things that REALLY matter. The raw basics of survival. It's bracing, and freeing. And...it really is quite beautiful here.
However you feel about it, you're stuck on a deserted island. But there are crabs and fish to hunt, and fruits in the trees. There's a jungle full of wood to construct a shelter. There's fresh water that can be gathered after it rains. There's even the occasional crate of supplies that washes ashore, because this is RP and we're not TOO worried about keeping things realistic.
You're not alone, though. There's someone else on this island, and if you want to survive, you'll probably have to work together.
Hope you get along.
SOME PROMPTS
1: Washed ashore - You JUST woke up here after your plane crashed, or your ship sank, or whatever disaster left you cast away. You're lost, tired, and confused, but at least you're not alone. Get to know who you washed to shore with, and figure out what you're going to do next.
2: Caveman tech - I hope you know how to start a fire. Or how to catch fish. Or which fruits and nuts are safe to eat. Your smartphone won't do you any good out here. It's time to live off the land like your ancestors did.
3: Settling in - You've been here for a while. It was pretty rough, at first, but by now you've got the food supply under control, you've built yourself a shelter, and the initial panic of trying to survive is dealt with. All that's left now is to just kick back and wait for signs of rescue.
4: Crisis - There's a storm rolling in, or one of you got injured, or there's a wild animal that's threatening you, or your food supply went rotten, or...just SOMETHING went wrong. Just when you were getting comfortable too.
5: Cabin Fever - You've been isolated out here for too long, and your companion on this island is driving you CRAZY. Maybe they've been stealing the food, maybe they've been trespassing on your half of the island. Maybe they just smack their lips really loud when they eat and you can't take it anymore. Whatever the case, it's time to just crack someone's skull open.
6: The Smutty One - "Sex on the beach" isn't normally meant quite this literally, but it's just the two of you out here. Maybe you should both try to save wear and tear on your clothes by not wearing them.
7: Rescue - Every castaway's dream. The ship on the horizon. The plane flying overhead. Somehow, you got their attention, and now you can finally get home. Can you not wait to forget about this damn island forever, or do you feel like you'll miss this place in a weird sort of way?
8: Wildcard - There's probably some other kind of thing I didn't think of but we are only limited by the powers of our imaginations. Go wild!
