Dead Or Alive: Crossroads

Episode 1: Welcome To Paradise

Yo! Aye, man. Wake up!

Wha...

You gonna be late, on your first day of the job.

Two pair of eyes slowly started to wake up and revealed to be the color ocean-blue. The eyes stared up and noticed someone standing above them. It was a young African-American man. From the way he was dressed, he seemed to really like keeping up his looks. He was wearing dark sunglasses with colored lenses (so I couldn't see his eyes). His outfit insisted of a blue pinstripe three-piece suit.

Wha...what's going on...?

C'mon, bro. You're gonna be late, on your first day.

First...day?

Forgot already!? You've got a job to do, bro. Get up.

10 minutes went by and I was out of bed and dressed for the job. Sadly, I was not okay with what I was wearing. I was only wearing black trunks with a heart patters and some sandals.

What do you think? Dressed for the occasion, huh?

You're not serious, are you?

Huh? What's wrong with it?

Zack, I can't wear this.

Why not!?

It just...doesn't feel like...me.

Alright, if you say so. Well, then put this on. It's all I got.

Zack threw some clothes my way and...well, it wouldn't be something I'm into...but at least it's better than those short black trunks. I changed into the new clothes and...honestly, it didn't look half bad. I was now dressed in a black zip vest with matching suspenders pants, formal shoes, a gold chain necklace with a Z-shaped pendant and bandages wrapped around my biceps and forearms.

What do you think? Lookin' stylish now, ain't ya?

Yeah, I gotta say, this really looks good.

Alright, now. It's of to work.

Hold on...you never bothered telling me what I'm supposed to do...

Oh, right. Well, Do you happen to know...

Know what?

About those glorious days?

What're you talking about?

About my dream island filled with love?

Love?

Yes! Women, walking, swimming and splashing in lovely bikinis, swimsuits. So many gorgeous woman as far as the eye can see!

I don't follow. What are you going on about?

But one day...a tragedy occurred...the island that I had built up twice in the past...it collapsed along with my dream...

Uhm? Are you talking about the island?

You catch on quick!

Uhhh...

However! I did not give up!

Beeecause you rebuilt the island again?

Correct! Just look at that view!

Zack grabbed my shoulder and the two of us walked to a large glass window, with a perfect view of the island.

Looking out the window. What do you see?

I see the island.

Yes. Our island. Mine, my "partner". And even "his".

Oookay...?

But unfortunately, I'm currently busy working on another super important job.

So? What does any of that have to do with me?

I'm glad you asked! So, you see...I'm appointing YOU to be the owner of this place, while I'm gone!

Wait...what!?

I'm counting on you!

Hold on, by myself!? You can't just throw this at me, at the last minute!

Have a good time. Don't let it all be about work!

Zack!

And without another word, Zack, rushed out of the door, leaving me completely dumbstruck. As of right now, I was the new owner of the island. But...I didn't even know what I was supposed to do.

He could've at least told me what an owner is supposed to do. How am I supposed to run this whole damn place?

With nothing else to do, I walked out of my room and headed out. I walked out of the office building and was shined by the warm rays of the sun, high in the sky. I could see others who were coming to the island. They must have been the vacationing women that Zack told me about. My job was to watch over these girls, as Zack instructed of me. So that's what I had to do. I pulled out a folded piece of paper and looked at it. There were certain names, written on that page...

Kasumi

Momiji

Hitomi

Helena Douglas

Marie Rose

Honoka

Nyotengu

Kokoro

Ayane

These must be the girls who are all vacationing at the island. And I'm suppose to make sure that they're having a good time and taken care of. But...who should I check on first? Well, the first name is Kasumi, so I decided to go check on her. However...I didn't know what Kasumi looked like. Zack could have given me pictures of each of the girls and make it easier for me to do my job. Oh well. I guess I'll have to search the islands, until I do find her. While walking through the island, I noticed someone. She seemed to be real young. Younger than me, even. I figured she might be able to lend me a hand. I walked over to her and just as I was about to tap her shoulder, she noticed me and got startled.

Huh? Who are you?

Uhm...well, I can't really answer that.

You can't...? Why not?

Well...the thing is...I don't remember anything about myself.

Don't remember...? Wait, are you saying you have amnesia?

If that's the proper word, then yes.

I see. Hm...

The young girl examined me, up and down. It was clear that she was trying to figure out who I was...considering we have never met, until now.

Are you a new worker?

Well, I guess you could say that.

What do you mean? Didn't you apply to work here?

Well...no. Zack just told me that I had to take over for him.

Seriously!? *sigh* As always, he is so sloppy at handling things.

Hm?

Zack is so irresponsible, when it comes to his job. Well, anyway...

...

Oh, I almost forgot, introductions. My name is Misaki.

Misaki...

That's right. It's nice to meet you.

The unknown girl; Misaki stcuk her hand out and offered me a handshake. I slowly raised my hand out and accepted, by shaking her hand.

Alright. Now, let me tell you about your job.

Alright...?

Your job entails you to be the owner of the island.

Yeah, I know that but...

But you don't know what you're supposed to do. Just keep an eye on the island, make sure that all visitors are enjoying themselves. You know, things like that.

Okay, I get it now.

I would go with you but I have my hands tied with other things. So you will have to manage on your own. But I promise to assist you, the best that I can.

And just like that, Misaki grabbed her things and started walking off. Alright then! Since I'm the new owner of this island, I should get started on my job. I looked at the list of visitors who were here on the island. I looked and decided to see which girl I should check on first and I decided to go with one of the visitors named "Helena Douglas." When I was walking all over the islands, I managed to find another woman, beside Misaki. She had quite the elegant appearance. She had blue-green eyes, blonde hair that reaches down past her waist, styled with a segmented bang that framed her face, and was tied into a low ponytail with a decorative bow. Her skin shined in the hot sun and she looked like a complete goddess, from where I stood. She was wearing a white halterneck string bikini with frills. I was really nervous. I didn't know what to say or do, when I walk up to her. But I had to do my job. So I sucked up all my fear and slowly approached Helena.
