Land disappeared from view as a large pristine cruise ship took off from the Pacific coast. The expansive ship was silver with a pink trim all around its sides; along the front it was marked as 'Persephone.' The deck was marked with various leisure centers and activities, like someone had plucked a small town out of its roots and set it adrift. Despite many activities to choose from, one passenger aboard the ship was trying to find a way indoors. She tried a couple different doors but found them all locked. The girl let out an annoyed hissed as she glared up towards the brilliant sunlight in annoyance. She had wavy jet black hair that spiraled down her head. On top she wore a mauve toque, marked with various logos. She had an indigo short-sleeve shirt, also marked with golden strands, and a pair of deep purple shorts.
"And just what might you be doing?" accused a voice. "Trying to break in, eh!?"
The girl turned around to be faced with a boy around her age, staring at her sternly. The boy wore a deerstalker cap over his curly gold hair. He had on a gold jacket with red and green stripes, and a crimson bowtie around his neck. His pants matched the style, held up by a large belt with multiple buckles.
"Excuse me?" the girl asked.
"There will be no excusing this criminal behavior!" the boy retorted dramatically. "Don't look away now, my keen eyes miss nothing, nothing I tell you! And I happened to catch you in the act of trying to infiltrate this lovely ship's interior. No doubt in the hopes to steal its valuables. I know the makings of a crook when I see one!"
"I just wanted to get out of the sun," the girl moaned. "I was out last night and my head is killing me now."
"Out last night...abusing substances!?" the boy accused.
"What are you, the police?" the girl scoffed.
"The police!? Don't insult me! My powers of deduction go so far beyond those trigger happy caveman paid to hand out speeding tickets!" the boy rebuffed. "I am...Cornell, The Greatest Detective on the Planet! My mind functions in a way that ordinary humans couldn't possibly comprehend. I don't see people, places, and things, I simply see the facts...and with this enhanced ability I use it...to solve the crimes that plague our world!"
Well, that's super," the girl replied dully.
"Hey man, leave the girl alone," a third voice said.
Suddenly another boy was upon the girl, he threw his arm around her and pulled her aside.
"Don't worry, this guy won't bother you anymore," the boy assured.
"Get your hands off me," the girl grunted angrily.
"Okay, okay, you got it!" The boy said defensively as he let go and held up his hands.
"Now wait just a darn minute!" the detective accosted as he followed the two. "You two must be in cahoots! Trying to escape from me, eh? Afraid it's not so simple!"
"Me? A criminal?" the boy replied putting his hands to his chest dramatically. "You've got it all wrong, I'm as straight as they come."
The boy had brilliant blue eyes and golden brown hair that was neatly combed back. He had on a thin grey shirt, a light red hoodie loosely slipped over his arms, and some mint green shorts.
"You know who would say something like that...a criminal!?" Cornell accused. "Perhaps your lies can fool the authorities in whatever lawless land you're used to, but now you are in the company of...The Greatest Detective on the Planet!"
"Easy there, friendo," the boy said keeping up his grin. "We're all just here to have a good time, let's not ruin that."
The girl was trying to make an escape from the two boys now, but the plucky boy in the hoodie followed after her, walking backwards so that he faced her as he caught up.
"My name's Eli," he introduced, "And you are...?"
"I am...not interested," the girl scoffed back.
"Hey, that's cool, totally respect that, you gotta have standards right?" the boy continued to chatter. "I mean, lovely girl like you probably gets bothered by annoying random guys all the time-"
Eli-not looking where he was going-ended up colliding with another boy as they rounded a corner. As Eli got back up he found his hand covered in mucus.
"What the hell?" he groaned.
"Sorry about that," sniffled the other boy.
This guest had a pudgy face with a few freckles along his cheeks. He wore a small rimmed hat over some thin strands of brown hair. His entire face looked red and swollen with snot dripping from his nose. He wore a red and white plaid long sleeve shirt and dark green pants.
"You don't look too good," Eli noted with concern as he tried to shake the snot off of his hand.
"I'm okay," the boy replied meekly as he sniffled loudly again.
"Hey, here's an idea," the girl. "Why don't you find a place to rest, and I'll go with you? So I can finally get out of this sun and away from annoying boys who don't know when to leave well enough alone."
"I can't sleep any earlier than 6 PM," the other boy sighed. "If I do, it will throw off my body's clock and I'll wake up having the throw up in the middle of the night."
"Um, excuse me?" A new voice said.
Everyone looked up to see a thin, blonde girl with hair tied in a neat ponytail. She wore a green and white striped tank-top and a long pink skirt.
"Yes, hello, I believe I may be in the wrong spot," the girl said tenderly. "You see, I wave given a special pass for this cruise, no doubt for my great strides in achievement. Surely there must be a VIP lounge where I'm supposed to meet the other winners."
"Hey, I got the same invite too!" Eli exclaimed.
"Oh, same," the sick boy added.
"Looks like we all did," the dark haired girl remarked.
"Oh...well, I didn't...is that so?" the blonde girl said, seemingly disgruntled by this news. "Well, my apologies, I just didn't expect...hello, it's a pleasure to meet all of you. My name is Rose."
"Call me Eli!" Eli greeted.
"I'm Lucas," said the sick boy.
"Molly," said the dark haired girl.
"Lovely to meet all of you, I'm sure you're all very worth achievers," Rose stated as she extended her hand.
"Not really, I hate school," Molly grunted. "I just want to party at night and sleep all day."
"I see..." Rose said as she retracted her hand.
"Don't worry, it's not contagious," Molly said snidely.
Suddenly, Lucas sneezed, blasting snot over Rose's body.
"I...I..." Rose stammered.
"AHA!" Cornell suddenly exclaimed as he came up behind her. "I've got it all figured out! It seems to me like...you were all given invites to this cruise. Totally free, a small congratulations, make you feel good, and voila you all show up!"
"That seems to be the gist of it, yes," Molly remarked.
"Well then, using my heightened powers of intellect, I have deduced that someone...wants us on this cruise!" Cornell announced.
"You don't say," Eli remarked.
Further up the deck, a boy with wispy blond hair was leaning over the rails, letting the wind brush against his face. He had on a tight white shirt and blue skinny jeans.
"Wooo!" he cheered. "This is crash as FUNK!"
"Careful!" a girl exclaimed.
This girl had long flowing brown hair. She wore a green scarf and a magenta top with turquoise sleeves. She was also wearing blue jeans.
"That's dangerous," she cautioned.
"Hey, don't be spluring all over my vibin' mood, you sponge!" the boy retorted.
"I'm jut saying you could-did you just call me a sponge?" the girl asked.
"What else is there to say when you're suckin' up all my cool rays, eh?" the boy said.
"I don't know what that means, but what I do know is that you're not going to be feeling so cool if you fall into the water," the girl said.
"Well hey now!" someone else interjected. "Ain't nothin' wrong with livin' life to the fullest, right on the edge, right!?"
"That's what I'm gellin' here, fam," the boy replied.
The newcomer was a large girl with a bountiful amount of curly red hair. She wore a large cowboy hat and had dirty overalls on over a red and white plaid shirt.
"Now when else can you ever get the chance to say that you're standin' on top of the ocean!?" the girl said as she climbed up on the rails as well. "YEEEEHAW!"
Suddenly the metal bent and then snapped right off. The other girl had to grab her from the straps on the back of her overalls just to keep her from plummeting. The boy joined in as well and together they were able to pull her back up.
"WOOO! Talk 'bout a rush!" the girl exclaimed.
"I think that's enough rush for all of us," the brunette girl said.
"Well, howd'you do?" the red haired girl exclaimed as she gripped her savior's hand and shook vigorously. "The name's Patty and it's a darn hoot to meet ya!"
"Madeline," the other girl introduced before turning to the boy, "And you...?"
"Autumn!" the boy introduced, taking Madeline's other hand as Patty still hadn't let go of hers.
A tall boy was sitting at a table, a small distance away from the group, but close enough that he could see the three as they collided with each other. The boy had dark skin and long black hair that was done up in a man-bun. He wore a red sweater and light beige pants.
"What?" he stammered, seemingly to himself. "No...no, just push them in? That's not a good idea. People will get mad. No, not right now, we just got here. Let's not make a scene...please?"
"What's that, hon?" asked a British voice from behind him.
The boy craned his head see a dark skinned girl with perfect flowing black hair. She wore a lot of pink. She had a set of sharp pink sunglasses resting on her forehead, she had a pink button up top with black fringe, and her skirt, of course pink as well. She walked with a pair of high heels as she settled down on the seat across from him.
"Oh uh...sorry?" the boy said uncertainly.
"Well, were you talking to me?" the girl asked. "I heard you say something but didn't quite catch it."
"Oh uh no, I was just talking to...it's not important," the boy said.
"Oh do tell!" the girl said with enthusiasm as she clapped her hands together. "Come along, darling, if we're going to be on this cruise together we might as well be friends."
"Trust me, you don't want to know," the boy replied meekly. "And you wouldn't believe me anyways."
"Well, now I've simply got to know," the girl said. "You really are a master of the bait and hook, you know. I'm postiively intrigued to know your story, Mr...?"
"It's Julius," the boy said, "My story is my own though. Just forget I said anything."
"I most certainly will not, but I'll give you a pass for now," the girl said. "My name is Hannah, and Julius let me tell you, I do so very much love a man of mystery. You've captured my attention, and piqued my interest whether you want it or not."
"I think you're the one better off not looking any further," Julius sighed.
"Ooh there you go again," Hannah gushed. "Well, darling, I'll tell you about moi, if you prefer. I happen to be a bit of an icon myself, a trendsetter if you will. I know all about fashion and exactly what's hot, what's in, the hot gossip you've got to know. In fact, I'm so on the rise that they even gave me a free pass for the cruise. Probably hoping that my presence will drop up a good reputation. I will say as far as cruises go I wouldn't say it's much to write home about, but considering I'm on this voyage free of charge that does tilt my mood a little bit in the right direction."
"Oh I got one of those two," Julius said. "I thought I won something...it didn't say what though."
"Not only a man of mystery, but someone so desirable that you've been given a free cruise trip as well?" Hannah exclaimed. "Well, I must say, Julius, I see the two of us becoming the best of friends."
"I don't think so," Julius said as he got up and walked away.
"What an enigma," Hannah cooed as she placed her hands along the sides of her face.
Down below the boat had a game room, with a large arced ceiling giving the appearance of a grand hall. The room was covered in bright lights, while the floor had a pool table, a roulette, and a brightly lit stage. The room was also filled with various teenage passengers. One entering the room was a small slender boy with bright brown hair with a single cowlick dangling in front of his face. He had wide blue eyes and a slightly bucktoothed smile. He wore a white T-shirt with a red circle on it, and baggy blue shorts.
"Oh...my...GOD!" he exclaimed while trembling in excitement. "This is so great, oh wow this is nothing like I imagined and yet...everything I dreamed! The inside of a cruise, this is it, oh wow, oh gee, I can't believe I'm here!"
"Are you alright?" asked a tall girl.
This girl had dark skin and long wavy black hair. She wore a navy blue jacket and skirt over a white blouse.
"It's just...I'm just so...so happy to be here," the boy said while wiping away a tear.
"Well, I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," the girl said. "My name's Atlantica."
"Atlantica...this is the greatest moment of my life...I want you to remember it for me!" the boy exclaimed dramatically as he shook her hand. "Oh I'm Bruce, by the way!"
"Lovely to meet you, Bruce," Atlantica said, though with a hint of concern.
"And you know what the best part is!?" the boy exclaimed. "It's all free! I didn't even have to pay a cent! Can you believe it!? I have some kind benefactor...or maybe a secret admirer...or maybe it's just the universe dishing out some good karma!"
"You know," a voice said from behind the two, "this whole thing is a scam."
The two turned to see a tall skinny girl with her eyes fixed on a tablet in her hands. The girl had a red headband and dark black hair done in dreadlocks that draped down her body. She wore a baggy green jacket and yellow blouse, with a pair of brown yoga pants.
"Is that so now?" Atlantica asked.
"Mhm," the girl said while tracing her finger along her tablet. "I've scanned the invite-which I presume we all received-there's no sign of recognizable logo, no copyright information, no address, all very suspicious. I did a little more digging though, tried to see if I could reverse search the point of origin. It wasn't easy but I managed to narrow it down. It's nowhere near any major city though, and that's the interesting thing. If this were some charity event, some promotional campaign, whatever you all think, wouldn't our benefactor want to be found? Wouldn't they have a notable base of operations? I suspect that soon enough we'll all be presented with some pyramid scheme."
"Then why even show up?" Atlantica asked.
"I can't expose them if I don't at least follow the breadcrumbs," the girl said, finally looking up. "I'm Shalea by the way, and you can trust me, I do this sort of thing a lot."
"Oh...my...God," Bruce breathed. "This is a...SCAM!?"
"Sorry to burst your bubble," Shalea said.
"THIS IS AMAZING!" Bruce cheered.
"Oh?" Shalea replied.
"I mean...sure anyone can go on a cruise, that's boring, that's so every day," Bruce said, while making fists in excitement. "But an actual bonafide scam!? Now that's a story to tell my grandkids one day! I can't wait to get swindled! Just take my money already!"
"You sicken me," a dark voice said from the side.
Shalea's eye shifted to see a boy glaring at her. He had spiky gold hair and a hazy blue T-shirt and dark red shorts. His face seemed to be locked in a disapproving scowl.
"Have I done something to offend you?" Shalea asked.
"Yeah, as a matter of fact, you have," the boy spat as he marched towards her. "You just come in here, acting so smart like you're so much better than the rest of you? Talking about how this is some scam, trying to ruin the fun for everyone? What the hell is wrong with you?"
"I'm just trying to look out for people," Shalea said. "It's easy to get s-"
"Yeah well no one asked you to help, so what gives you the right to just stick your nose in here?" the boy said. "It's honestly sad how many people feel the need to meddle in everyone's business instead of just minding their own."
Shalea returned to her tablet.
"Don't ignore me," the boy sneered. "I bet you think you can just make problems disappear when things get too real for you.
"Aaron Proctor," Shalea stated.
"How do you know my-" the boy gasped in surprise.
"Attends Fifth Street High School in Ottawa, your grades could stand to be better, fair enough you're keeping a steady average, but not really someone who ought to complain about people acting 'smarter' than them," Shalea continued to recite. "No clubs, very little social media, it's almost like you have no friends at all, I wonder why that could be."
"Whatever," the boy scoffed as he rolled his eyes. "Just change the subject and try to turn this around on me. How pathetic."
"It was nice meeting you, Aaron," Shalea said as she walked past the boy.
Over by the pool table, a pudgy boy with a rosy face and curly brown locks of hair approached the game with interest. The boy had on a chef had and white kitchen coat and apron.
"Ooh, this looks like some fun," he said as he examined the game.
"Fancy a match?" someone else remarked. "I should warn you...it's gonna end in getting your ass kicked."
"Sounds jolly, count me in!" the chef boy exclaimed.
His opponent was a small Asian boy with messy black hair and a green headband. He had a commando muscle shirt on and baggy black cargo pants.
"Name's Jake, by the way!" he greeted with a flick of his hair.
"Pleasure!" the other boy exclaimed happily. "I'm Miller!"
"Well, Miller," Jake said as he went to find a cue stick, "get ready fo-"
Jake was shoved obnoxiously by a muscular girl walking by. She had dark skin and very little hair at all, giving her a head a round appearance. She wore a purple shirt with magenta stripes and cloudy grey and blue pants.
"Watch it!" she barked. "Where the hell is the food!? Don't tell me this place doesn't even have catering."
"It doesn't have catering," Jake replied with a deadpan tone.
The girl smacked him on the back of the head.
"Don't be smart with me!" she snapped.
"Um, excuse me, Miss?" Miller said.
"Ah, you the cook!?" the girl demanded. "What's the hold up? I'm starving!"
"Well, uh no, I'm not the cook," Miller replied, "I'm a baker, actually."
"Do I look like I care?" the girl said angrily.
"Well, ahem, if you just give me a chance," Miller said nervously, "I think I may be able to make something satisfactory."
The boy reached into his coat. He pulled out a bowl, a whisk, a jug of milk, a sack of flour, three eggs, and a miniature oven.
"Now, this will just take a jiffy," he said as he mixed the ingredients together in a bowl, before sliding it into the oven.
A few seconds later, the oven gave off a ding, and Miller pulled out the bowl. He reached in and revealed a bagel.
"You call this a meal?" the girl spat.
"Well, maybe you could give it a try before jumping to conclusions," Miller offered.
The girl continued to sneer but grabbed the bagel and took a bite. Her face suddenly softened.
"Oh my god...this is the best thing I have ever tasted...in my entire life," she gasped. "I feel weightless...I feel like I'm on some wonderful drug...I need to sit down."
The girl collapsed in the nearest seat.
"Now that you've had something to eat, perhaps I could get a name?" Miller asked.
"It's...Katherine," the girl said, still in a daze.
"Hold it right there!" someone exclaimed.
Everyone turned to see a large towering figure as a dark skinned girl with dyed blonde hair stormed towards the group. She had on a sparkling gold dress with no sleeves and a pair of white boots.
"I've got just one question for you, Mister!" she said while jabbing a finger into Miller's chest. "Was that bagel vegan friendly!?"
"Yes it was, the eggs are synthetic that never once contained a living creature," Miller replied.
"Oh...well then...that's good," the girl said, clearly shocked. "Carry on then."
"Well, not without learning your name first," Miller said.
"Oh me?" the girl said, twirling around dramatically. "My name is Goldie, and I'm with the Healthy Alternative Vegan Order of Cooking!"
She handed Miller a hard with the letters H.A.V.O.C. in the center, and surrounded with a border of vegetables.
"You should come to our next meeting, we're always looking for bright young individuals who care about making good healthy food!" she said.
"I'll keep it in mind," Miller said as he pocketed the card.
Over by the stage a girl was looking up with interest. She had wavy brown hair with a few pink extensions clipped on. She had on a white sweater with flowers in the middle, and a wavy pink skirt, just revealing her red and white stockings. She turned to face a boy standing next to her. The boy had a blank stare up towards the ceiling. He had frizzy red hair, pale skin, a pointed nose and sullen hazy eyes.
"I think they want me to perform!" the girl remarked to him.
The boy remained silent.
"Yeah, that's right, I'm a singer," she said, "starting to make it big, maybe you've heard of me!"
Again no answer from the boy.
"No? Well that's okay, you will soon enough!" she said. "You know you're on the way up when cruise ships just hand out free passes to get you to perform for them. I'm Tiffany by the way!"
She held out her hand, but the boy didn't move a muscle.
"You don't talk much, do you?" Tiffany remarked. "That's okay!"
The girl walked up to the stage.
"Alright, hi everyone, hey hello! I'm going to be starting off this performance," she announced. "This is a little song that I wrote myself, it's called I Don't Need The Drama."
"Check this out," Jake remarked to Miller before slinking over to the side of the stage.
The small boy snickered to himself before pulling a lever that released the curtains. Before Tiffany could get to the first note, she was knocked over by the swinging red curtains. She stumbled forward and fell right off the stage. The red-haired blank-faced boy outstretched his arms almost automatically and caught Tiffany safely.
"Oh thank you, dear," Tiffany said.
The boy blinked, then his face seemed to take a more lifelike appearance.
"I was dreaming," he stated.
"Oh uh...that's cool," Tiffany said, slightly confused.
"There was fire...fire everywhere...all burning," he recited. "And you were there...in the middle of it all. I had to get to you. Did you start the fire?"
"Me? Well, haha...the only fire I'm starting is the fire of passion with my music," Tiffany said nervously.
"Hm..." the boy remarked as he set Tiffany down.
"So uh...what did you say your name was again?" Tiffany asked.
But the boy had returned to a trance.
"Hello, hello, anyone home?" Tiffany said as she snapped her fingers in his face. "Okay you know what, I'm just going to call you...Dylan! Does that sound okay to you? You sorta look like a Dylan to me. If you're okay with this then...just don't say anything at all!"
The boy remained silent.
"Alright, Dylan it is!" Tiffany said. "Now, before I was so rudely interrupted, I believe I was about to serenade this place."
Tiffany got back up to the stage.
She prepared to start her song again but was cut off by a robotic voice filling the room, "Greetings Voyagers and welcome to the Persephone Cruise. As I'm sure many of you have noticed, you all were invited on this ship completely free. You may have also noticed some other strange things, such as there being no one else on the boat, no crew, no other guests but you twenty, no one else at all."
"Heeey, you know what...that's right!" Tiffany gasped.
"Here comes the scam," Shalea said confidently.
"That is because this is not a luxury cruise at all," the voice continued, "The twenty of you have been drafted for a cutthroat survival competition called...Total Drama Cruise!"
"Oh hell no!" Katherine exclaimed, getting up and getting angry again. "I did not sign on for some stupid-ass game show! You don't got any right to put my face on TV! Get me the hell out of here!"
"Oh, but I'm afraid you did sign up and you've already committed to a contract," the voice continued, "If you'll take a look at your invite, you may find that if you examine with an ultraviolet light, you'll see a clause stating that by stepping foot on the ship you instantly accept a spot on the show, and waive any right to refuse."
Up on the deck, the other ten were also hearing the same message.
"This is totally unfunkalicious of you, jerkoid!" Autumn snapped. "You can't bode down my vibe here! I'm happenin' on out!"
Autumn returned to the edge of the boat but found they had long since left land and were in the middle of the ocean.
"You will find that leaving the ship is unwise," the voice said. "We will not be held liable if you injure yourself attempting foolish escape acts."
"This is kidnapping!" Rose exclaimed.
"Nonsense, you all boarded the Persephone expecting a month of vacation as we toured the world," the voice said. "That is still what you will receive, just with some added rules to keep things exciting. Now then, is you play along I'm sure you'll find it's well worth it. Oh and did I mention the prize...oh yes, the winner of this little extravaganza will be receiving no less than...one...million...dollars!"
"Whoa!" Eli exclaimed. "Why didn't you lead with that!? You can count me in!"
"And of course, even if you don't win, each of you will get the chance to be seen on international television as we broadcast each episode. Who knows, you may have the makings of a star!" the voice said. "Speaking of which, if you'll follow the signs to the Crow's Nest, you'll find a room to give your first confessionals. Why don't you all say hello to the audience and tell them a little about yourselves!?"
The group on the deck uncertainly glanced at each other, but started to mill towards the same direction. As they all came together, Madeline made a shocking discovery.
"Oh my god...you!" she gasped at Rose. "What the hell are you doing here!?"
"Oh, just what I needed, another reminder of how perfectly...mediocre this crowd is," Rose sighed as Madeline walked up to her. "I can't believe I ever thought that I would get the chance to meet with actual intellectuals."
"Will you come off it, Rose!?" Madeline sneered. "You're not better than me, and chances are you're not better than everyone else here."
"Thank you for giving your opinion, which I care so very little about," Rose replied snidely.
"You two ladies know each other?" Eli asked.
"Using my powers of deduction I've already made the connection!" Cornell exclaimed. "The two young ladies are none other than...scorned ex lovers!"
"Wrong," Rose scoffed.
"This stuck up brat is, unfortunately, my cousin," Madeline explained.
"Unfortunate for me," Rose said. "You ought to be grateful I'm here to give a model example. I can't imagine how hopeless my dear aunt and uncle must feel every time they look at you."
"Hey cuz, here's a concept for you: Unconditional Love! Yeah, turns out that's a thing at my house," Madeline retorted. "I know it's probably hard for your steely ice-cold heart to fathom, but maybe try."
"Sounds like a lovely fairytale you tell yourself to feel better," Rose replied. "However, I have no need to fill my head with such wistful thoughts, as I already am perfectly content. Sometime you probably won't be unless you finally get your act together. But let's be real, if it hasn't happened by now, what hope really is there? Now if you don't mind, I believe I'm supposed to be introducing the audience to someone they may actually care about."
Crow's Nest:
Molly-What the hell at all of this? I just thought this sounded like something to do, you know? Travel a bit, have a little fun, now I actually have to play some stupid game? Whatever, I should have known there'd be a catch. I probably won't last long, but that's probably for the best, since I'm not sure how long I can stand some of these people.
Cornell-I am...The Greatest Detective on the Entire Planet! This game? Feh, a simple brain-teaser for a mind like mine, but one that I shall take on! I'm already processing millions of points of information by the second. There's not a secret that these pawns can hide from me!
Eli-So I'm what you might call a thief. I'm not talking bank robberies or anything like that. Just thinks I need, you know? Test answers, keys to unauthorized areas, the occasional lunch when I'm feeling peckish. Harmless stuff really, but I don't have to worry cause I never get caught. Yeah, I'm a pretty smooth operator, so if I can handle that, I think I can handle running a few laps in this game.
Lucas-I've got a rare disease...or maybe it's a bunch of diseases all at once, the doctors are still working to come to a conclusion (sniffles) I'll live...but it won't go away anytime soon, so every day is a battle (sneezes) I thought this would be fun, but it looks like as usual I'm just going to get laughed at and kicked out.
Rose-I suppose some jealous individuals may refer to me as an 'overachiever' but that term was clearly coined by someone who never accomplished anything in life and wanted to shun those that did. I believe there's never enough that you can do to get ahead. My grades are perfect, I make sure to associate with other perfect people, I am building the best future possible for me.
Autumn-Alright, so now it all makes sense, don't think for a secondrondo that you're pullin' a bamboozle on this thinkernode! You know how the globe's gone in the nizz, everyone's gotta be so diverisitizzy and Pea Sea. Cast the trans guy, cause we're so hip and on the clock, modern and with it, yeah that's it right? Well here's a newsbang, that's not all I am, and I sure as fock ain't gonna let you make that my memento!
Madeline-Ugh, Rose! She may be family, but she takes every chance she can to try to make me feel like filth. Okay, sure I may not be perfect, sue me! I'm trying my best, but I'm sorry if I actually like to have fun every once in a while. Unfortunately, she's set the bar high and now my parents always think it's fair to compare me to her, I hate it! And NOW she's made my entire first confessional all about her (scowls)
Patty-Yeeehaaw! This fancy frollickin' place sure is different from the farm back home, but I'm all for this here adventure! 'Bout time I did somethin' excitin'! Don't get me wrong, chickens and cows are lovely folk, but sometimes a girl needs a little bit of a change!
Julius-So uh...you probably won't believe this, but you can't talk back to me anyways, right? So here it is, a couple years back I was in a museum and they had this cool urn thing from some newly uncovered temple. They had one of those velvet lines, DO NOT CROSS, yeah well...I shouldn't have crossed it. Got a little too close, and next thing I know my body gets a new passenger in some primordial evil demon, Xeraxona. Yep. He makes me do bad stuff sometimes, I just try to avoid people where I can. Being stuck with them for a whole month suddenly seems very bad.
Hannah-I just love fashion. I simply have got to be ahead of all the trends, it's just who I am. And here's a little tidbit for you, I'm not actually British, but it comes off as so much more posh to talk like this!
Bruce-Oh my gosh, oh my god, oh my GOODNESS! I get to compete on THE Total Drama series!? That's like...that's gotta be...my life's DREAM! Well actually I didn't know it was my life's dream, but now that I'm here...I realize that this is all I ever could have asked for!
Atlantica-One of these days I'm going to change the world. Maybe not today, but I plan to get into politics as soon as I can so that I can make a real difference. The first thing you need to learn is that your ideas mean nothing. It's all about the people, so this game might be a nice little exercise to see if I can truly handle people right.
Shalea-I consider myself a hacktivist. I'm good with computers and in this digital age, everything is all connected through the web, you just need to know where to look. I didn't tie this cruise to Total Drama, but I'm sure if I looked hard enough the clues were there. Now that I'm here though, perhaps I can uncover some other dirt.
Aaron-Oh great, I get to compete in the show where stupid kids make the same stupid decisions, year after year and somehow we applaud them for it. Yay. As you can tell, I'm just absolutely thrilled right now.
Miller-It just fills me with absolute joy to see people enjoy my confections! I put nothing but the utmost love into each product!
Jake-Heh, honestly I don't see myself winning this game. Not that I don't have what it takes, but people just tend to have problems with me. What can I say, I like to cause trouble, and that won't be changing now.
Katherine-No, I'm not saying anything, I didn't sign up for this. Get out of my face!
Goldie-(holding a cookbook) Heh, it's been a few years now since I went to my first Healthy Alternative Vegan Order of Cooking meeting and it changed my life, really revolutionized the way I saw the world. See here's the thing though, it's actually got nothing to do with Vegans or even Cooking! HA! It's a front! HAVOC's true mission is to infiltrate all points of influence to destroy the infrastructure from the inside out. It's like we say, recruit, corrupt, destroy! Oh and I know what you're thinking, why am I telling you all this? Well we happened to learn a few tricks LIKE THIS...amnesia dance! (begins to sway and writhe in a jerking motion while flailing her arms up and down)
Tiffany-Wow, so not only do they want me to perform on the ship, they also want me to compete in their show! I really have made it big! Look for my next album, Grocery Store Blues, out on the shelves by next Christmas!
"Dylan"-I see...a drop, a single drop...waiting to drip into the sea...consumed in a void of water, gone, forgotten, absorbed to become one of many. Is this what fate has planned for me?
Inside a small office sat a woman at a desk, speaking into a box shaped microphone. The woman had sandy blonde hair; she wore a cerulean jacket over a frilly white blouse and blue bowtie.
"Oh hello there, dears," she greeted the audience. "My name is Jeanette Washington. Now, I know what you're thinking...'who the hell are you!?' Well...I'm Jeanette Washington, isn't that good enough for you!?"
She gave a glare to the camera before breaking back into a friendly smile.
"Oh ho ho, not to worry, I get it," she laughed. "If this is Total Drama then you're probably expecting Chris McClean. Ah yes, dear Chris. Well you see, I was his personal assistant a while back, and well...I won't get into the details, but there was some unpleasantness and et cetera long story short I got fired and told that I would be arrested if I ever set foot within 50 feet of the studio again. For reasons that continue to elude me, Chris McClean has been allowed to continue hosting and is now running his own show in Scary Island or Kooky Cove something like that. However, being the personal assistant to someone as scatterbrained as Mr. McClean means that I have access to all of his secret bank accounts that he probably forgot all about. So I took the money I needed, bought The Persephone, sent out the invite and got myself a cast all on my own! Once I put this show together it will be the biggest smash hit the network has ever seen, and THEN I'll show those executive suits that I am the greatest host they have ever had! Not Chris McClean, not anyone else, ME! AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh ho ho ho, yes it's all very exciting isn't it? Now let's get on with the show, shall we!?"
(Deck)
After each member had gotten the chance to speak in the Crow's Nest, the ten gathered together again on the dock.
"So looks like we're all a team then, eh!?" Patty remarked with a bright smile. "How bout a big team chant. WOOOOOHOOOO! A c'mon, y'all, ain't you got any team spirit!?"
"If this is our team, then I just gotta say that's rushin' my innards up real smashed!" Autumn exclaimed.
"Why do you talk like that?" Madeline asked.
"Aw, don't be hatin', we all got our own yodels!" Patty exclaimed.
"Yeah sorry, I can hardly understand either of you," Madeline sighed.
"Oh wow, my cousin understanding nothing, what a shock," Rose remarked snidely.
"Well can you understand them!?" Madeline asked.
"Of course not, I don't speak uncouth punk dialect," Rose scoffed.
"Hmmm..." Cornell said loudly as he paced between the two girls. "I am detecting...a lot of tension between the two of you. Oh yes, I think it's safe to say that there has been a history of anger and resentment in both directions! If there was a crime committed, I would be very suspicious!"
"No one's committed a crime," Madeline pointed out.
"Well I'm being suspicious preemptively!" Cornell exclaimed. "Crime is always just around the corner, it never stays away for long!"
Cornell shifted his eyes left to right suspiciously.
"Greetings!" Jeanette's voice came over the speaker again. "The ten of you are in fact...a team! From this moment forward you shall be known as The Sunshine Sailors!"
"I hate it," Molly moaned.
"And your first Reward Challenge will be right now!" Jeanette said. "I'm sure you must all be feeling hungry by now, wondering where the food is at? Well there's a delicious feast, locked tight in a crate...floating in the ocean! There is a liferaft waiting for you just over the edge, it can hold five bodies. You will need to select five of you to compete, find the crate, and bring it back. All before the other team does. Do this and you will be eating well for the day!"
"Let's do this, team!" Patty exclaimed. "I for one want a full meal! I'm gonna need the energy!"
"I think you've got plenty," Molly remarked.
"Well now, who is going to be our five?" Hannah asked.
"Ooh me!" Patty exclaimed.
"I'm feeling guller and ready to fly!" Autumn exclaimed.
"You two had better be careful you don't drown out there," Madeline remarked.
"Oh hey, that's a good point, I'll go too and hope I'm lucky enough to drown and get out of this thing," Molly said.
"And I'll be there to give you mouth to mouth resuscitation!" Eli exclaimed as he slid next to Molly.
"Damn it, I walked right into that one, didn't I?" Molly sighed.
"One more," Madeline said.
"Not me, please," Lucas sighed. "I might get sea sick...I can't afford to get anymore sick than I already am."
"Yeah I'm going to have to back off too, I uh...don't think it would be safe," Julius remarked.
"I'd love to, darlings, but I really cannot afford to get this ensemble wet," Hannah said, "If I had known we'd be getting into some rough activities I certainly would have gone for a different outfit."
"Well, if no one else wants to-" Madeline began to offer.
"You!?" Rose scoffed. "Let's not kid ourselves, which one of us has the years of experience from Sailing Club? Well it's certainly not you...oh that's right, it's me."
"If you want to volunteer why didn't you just say so?" Madeline sighed.
"I just wanted to see if you would find some way to embarrass yourself," Rose replied. "And you did not disappoint."
"Fine, just go and get out of my face," Madeline said.
Crow's Nest:
Rose-I just can't help myself in exposing my cousin's many short-comings. I work so hard to be perfect, and so I have zero sympathy for her thinking she has some right to be respected when she doesn't work half as hard. Maybe if I'm lucky the others will see it too and vote her out first.
Cornell-I would have volunteered, but someone has to stay and keep an eye on the rest of these hooligans. My senses are prickling up, murder is afoot, and I'm going to be there to catch the perpetrator redhanded!
Patty-Alright folks, we got ourselves a mission here! Now I ain't give a hoot if you're punk, prep, goth, emo, whatever the heck you wanna be, we all wanna EAT! So I'd say we got a pretty good reason to do well here!
(Game Room)
Same as the other team, this group had gathered together awkwardly.
"Alright, everyone, I'm sure this is strange and unexpected for all of us," Atlantica said.
"You think!?" Katherine scoffed.
"But let's just keep our heads, keep cool," Atlantica said. "I'm sure we can make the most out of this."
"Lies," Aaron scoffed. "You're not sure of anything. Stop acting like you're so special. You're just confused and trying to act smart."
"Well that's better than just being a little whiner," Atlantica sneered.
"I'm just keeping it real," Aaron said with a shrug.
"Maybe we need a good motivational song!" Tiffany exclaimed.
"Please don't put me through anymore torment than necessary," Katherine said.
"Helloo everyone!" Jeanette's voice announced. "You are a team of ten and from this moment forward you shall be known as...The Reef Ravagers!"
"Yes!" Bruce cheered. "Ravagers! Let's get to ravaging!"
Bruce picked up a potted plant and tossed it, but Atlantica caught it before it could smash.
"Let's uh save the ravaging for later," she said.
"Now then, here's the condensed version," Jeanette said, "Reward Challenge, Food in a crate in the water, raft waiting for you, five people can rid, get it, get back, enjoy the food! Good luck!"
"Ooh, some new ingredients would be lovely!" Miller exclaimed.
The group walked to the edge of the room where there was a passage that led into the water with a liferaft floating for them.
"Alright, who are we going to send out?" Atlantica asked.
"Meee!" Bruce exclaimed as he leapt into the boat.
"I'd like to help out," Miller offered. "If there's food involved, I'd like to be there firsthand."
"Well, I'd better go too then," Goldie said. "Make sure we're only getting the finest of vegan options and we can toss the rest overboard!"
"Yeah I'm gonna have to join to make sure she doesn't toss any food overboard," Jake said.
"Just try to stop me, shorty!" Goldie huffed.
"Alright, we need one more," Atlantica said. "Anyone else? Katherine?"
"Not getting involved in this crap," Katherine scoffed.
"We still need food," Atlantica pointed out.
"Not. Getting. Involved." Katherine repeated.
"Looks like we've got your volunteer," Tiffany said as Dylan walked onto the boat in his zombie like trance.
"Uh hi there!" Jake said to the boy who just stared out blankly. "What's this guy's name again?"
"I call him Dylan," Tiffany said.
"Right...welcome aboard!" Jake said.
Crow's Nest:
Atlantica-I like to take charge and give this team some leadership. Someone has to after all, and despite being a little lost too, I think I can pull off the structure we need to keep us together and alive.
Katherine-I'm sending a message here. I did not sign up for this and I don't care if you're going to try to force us to play your stupid game, I refuse so deal with it!
Jake-Yeah, this guy that we call Dylan...he's kinda strange. He doesn't talk at all, and when he does it's just weird ramblings. Not sure how I feel about him.
(Sunshine Sailors, Raft)
The raft departed from the cruise ship and floated along the waters as the group of five paddled.
"And stroke to the left, stroke to the right, stroke to the left, and the right!" Patty chanted.
"Do you need to keep saying that?" Molly asked.
"Well, at least she has the right energy, come on now pick it up," Rose said. "I know you have more enthusiasm in you than that!"
"Is this better!?" Molly said aggressively as she put on a plastered smile and dug her oar into the water whimsically.
"Much," Rose replied.
"Hey look, that must be the other team," Eli exclaimed as he pointed to another raft floating in the distance across from them.
"HEY!" Autumn exclaimed as he stood up on the edge of the raft. "You guys heckin' suck!"
"I'm sure that told'em," Molly remarked sarcastically.
Across the water, the other boat was indeed taking off. Four of the passengers were rowing while Dylan just gripped his oar and let it bobble in the water.
"Come on, buddy, like this!" Jake said as he motioned for Dylan to mimic his paddling.
"Ooh, there's those losers from the other team," Goldie said with a scowl. "I think they're trying to say something to us."
"Let's not worry about them for now," Miller said. "Let's focus on just keeping up and finding that crate."
"Well maybe that would be easier if all of us were doing our part," Jake said while eyeing Dylan. "Why did we even bring this guy?"
"Hmm...you know I may have something for this!" Miller exclaimed while reaching into his coat again.
He pulled out a croissant and held it under Dylan's nose. The boy seemed to notice the smell and took a bite without ever opening his eyes. He began to paddle with high energy.
"Knew that would do that trick!" Miller exclaimed.
Crow's Nest:
Rose-Yes, I know I can be a bit much to handle, but I just expect success and high effort from others. That's all. I'm fine however people want to live their lives, but when it comes to a group project that affects me, I expect everyone to bring their best.
Molly-Honestly the only reason I don't just ask these losers to vote me out is because I cannot stand the thought of that snide shrew, Rose, having things go her way here. First I'll vote her out...then I'll quit.
Goldie-Things are goin' well so far, these fools just think I'm that crazy vegan lady. Which means I can start takin' note, figure out which ones have weak malleable minds that I can mold to my likin'!
Bruce-Oh my gosh, the water was just like wooooosh! WHOA! So loud! I can't believe it, this is so amazing! I was right there next to it, like some sort of...fisherman superhero!
(Sunshine Sailors, Deck)
Lucas held his head in his hands as he sat down.
"You alright?" Julius asked.
"Being out in the sun so long is making my eyes get all dry and crusty, I won't be able to see for much longer," Lucas sighed.
"Oh well...let's put you in the shade," Julius said as he moved Lucas underneath a parasol.
"Thanks," Lucas sniffled. "I hope the guys out on the water are alright."
"I hope that the cruel void of the sea swallows them and their corpses are dragged down to the dark depths where no one will ever find them," said Julius in a dark gravelly voice.
"Yeah...wait what?" Lucas remarked.
"Nothing, I said uh...yeah I hope they're safe too," Julius said nervously.
"Hold on a minute!" Cornell exclaimed, emerging from behind a plastic palm tree. "Did I just hear a sudden unexplained change of voice!?"
"Uh...no, no you definitely did not!" Julius said.
"A denial, eh!? Well it's like I always say, a denial is just as good as a confession!" Cornell exclaimed.
"That doesn't really uh...make a lot of sense," Lucas remarked.
"Are you trying to obstruct justice!?" Cornell accused.
"No sir," Lucas said as he kept his head down.
"That's what I thought!" Cornelle replied before turning back to Julius, "And as for you...I'll get you soon enough, so just keep laughing, funny guy, I'll be getting the last laugh...when I put you behind bars!"
Meanwhile Madeline and Hannah looked out at the water together.
"So, my cousin, right?" Madeline remarked. "She's a real pain."
"Mm," Hannah said with a brief nod.
"I mean, I'm used to it, she does this sort of thing all the time," Madeline continued, "But the way she just treats people barely knows as beneath her...it's sickening, right? It's like she cannot possibly fathom that not everyone might want to be Miss Perfect."
"Look, darling, I'm going to be completely real with you," Hannah said, "I think you're absolutely right, but the way you keep talking about her is really quite pathetic and desperate. I'd give it a rest before you get yourself into a rut."
Crow's Nest:
Cornell-There's something mighty suspicious about that Julius guy, if that is his real name! Something evil is lurking in him, and as soon as I get the proof...slammo! The cuffs are coming down!
Lucas-I feel pretty bad, I know I can't be any good to my team. They'll probably just send me out first, and I can't say I blame them. I didn't even ask to be on this thing.
Madeline-While Rose is away I'm definitely going to take the chance to poison her name. I can't stand her, and if I can actually beat her at this game it would be so satisfying.
Hannah-Madeline, she's dear enough, but all she seems interested in talking about is how horrible her cousin is, and she doesn't seem to realize that she's not doing any good, she's just making the rest of us miserable. It's really quite tacky and I wish she would take the hint.
(Reef Ravagers, Game Room)
"Hey guys!" Tiffany exclaimed as the group waited in boredom. "I've thought of something we can do!"
"Is it singing a song?" Atlantica asked.
Tiffany narrowed her eyes before remarking, "...Maybe."
"No singing!" Katherine snapped.
"Well it's certainly nice that you think you have any room to make demands when you refused to even help," Atlantica retorted.
"Let me get this through your thick skull," Katherine growled. "I really do not give a damn. I will make the demands I want, and if you don't like it I will fight you!"
"Resorting to violence already, how primitive," Aaron remarked. "Not like I'm surprised in the slightest."
"You want some!?" Katherine threatened as she raised her fist.
"Let's leave those two to work out their issues," Atlantica said as she gestured for Shalea and Tiffany to join her to the side.
"Ooh, are we having a secret meeting!?" Tiffany asked.
"Sure," Atlantica said. "I think this is actually a great chance for us. While the rest of the team is busy we can set ourselves up with an early alliance to take charge here."
"Ooh, I love it!" Tiffany exclaimed.
"What about you?" Atlantica asked Shalea.
The other girl never looked up from her tablet.
"Hm...let's see here, no criminal record, though it seems like your dentist found you to be 'uncooperative,'" Shalea noted.
"What the hell!?" Atlantica snapped.
"I don't really trust dentists though," Shalea added. "Always with that '9/10 dentists approve' where's the margin of error coming from? Has that number been fact checked? Nope, I don't trust them at all. So I'm in."
"Perfect," Atlantica said. "I'm pretty sure beauty and the beast over there will make themselves early enough targets, so we should have no problem here."
Crow's Nest:
Atlantica-With the money on the line, I am not messing around. It's time to hit the ground running, and starting out with an alliance is exactly what I need. Tiffany and Shalea actually seems like a very good starting point. Tiffany seems like she'll be easy enough to get to follow orders and Shalea is clearly very clever, someone I'll want on my side.
Shalea-Atlantica is a wannabe politician so that's already a big sign to me that I cannot trust her. However, if I don't take up this offer, she'll just find someone else. I'd rather keep my eyes on her and keep her close for now.
Aaron-Everyone on this team is such a poser. Pretending to be smart, or happy, it's all a bunch of lies. But I'll show them, I'll make them see!
(Rafts)
"Anyone see anything?" Eli asked as he scanned the waters.
"If I did, don't you think I'd have said something?" Molly remarked.
The other raft had drifted closer to them by now.
"Hey get your own space, this is our turf!" Autumn shouted at them.
"You can't claim turf in the water!" Goldie retorted.
"Yeah, just watch me!" Autumn said. "Claiming it right now, so get gonin'!"
"Hey look there it is!" Jake exclaimed.
Everyone turned to look where he was pointing.
"Made you look!" he laughed.
"Don't do that, please," Goldie said as she slapped him on the back of the head.
"Guys. GUYS!" Bruce suddenly exclaimed while jumping up and down. "Look, look, there's a buoy over there! I think that means we're going in the right direction!"
"Well, thanks for the note, kiddo!" Patty said. "Full steam ahead., team!"
The Sunshine Sailor took off moving quickly. The Reef Ravagers tried to follow behind but began to lose distance. Dylan had lost his energy again and was once more just letting his oar dangle in the water. The Sunshine Sailor meanwhile followed the buoy which connected to a rope, and sure enough the rope led to a crate floating in the water.
"We did it!" Eli exclaimed.
"We're not out of the woods yet," Rose said. "We still need to get back."
"Heave ho!" Patty exclaimed as she tugged on the rope and tried to pull the crate into their raft.
"No, don't take that!" Miller called from the boat.
"Too slow, loseballs!" Autumn taunted.
"Hahaha, chow time here we come!" Patty laughed as she stood over the edge of the raft triumphantly.
However, this ended up tilting the weight too much and flipping the entire boat over, along with all those sitting in it.
"No, no, no!" Rose panicked as she flopped through the water.
"Well, well, don't mind if I take that," Jake said as he tried to pull the crate into his raft.
"Grrr!" Autumn growled as he clung to the corner and pulled back.
"Ah! Somebody help!" Jake said.
"Take this!" Miller exclaimed as he tossed a pair of eggs into Autumn's eyes.
The other winced in shock and pain, letting go of the crate and allowing Jake to pull it into the raft.
"Homeward bound now!" Bruce exclaimed. "We're winning oh wow, oh gee, oh my gosh, I am winning my very first challenge on Total Drama, this is the stuff dreams are made of!"
Crow's Nest:
Rose-Mm, terrible showing by the people you've stuck me with. Really quite unfortunate.
Patty-Okay...so maybe I got a little bit too cocky there!
Miller-And this just goes to show why you never give up. Things are turn around even when they're looking bad.
Dylan-I open my eyes...and there I am, floating at sea, amid the water...I have become the droplet, and yet..I do not know what it means. The chaos and the noise around me is confusing, yet victorious? I will treat this as a good day.
(Reef Ravagers)
"Heeey team!" Bruce exclaimed as the raft returned with the crate. "Guess who did it! Answer, it's us, we won!"
"And we're eating like kings tonight!" Miller announced.
"Woohoo!" Tiffany exclaimed. "I know you guys could do it!"
"No you didn't," Aaron remarked dryly.
'I believed in this team!" Tiffany.
"Then you're stupid," Aaron replied.
"Hey, hey, can't we just enjoy the moment?" Atlantica exclaimed.
"No, so stop trying to control me," Aaron replied.
"Oh my, a lot of tension here," Miller said. "Sounds like we need some food and fast!"
"Yes, congratulations Reef Ravagers, you have won the award!" Jeanette announced as the crate flopped open to reveal ham, bananas, pineapple, muffins, and various other foods. "Enjoy your meal, you've earned it!"
Crow's Nest:
Atlantica-Starting off with a win is a really great feeling. This is setting us up right away on the right foot. I wish others on the team could get in with the team spirit, but looks like some things just won't change.
Aaron-All this "I knew we could do it" crap is infuriating! We didn't know a single thing, we just let these guys go out and hoped for the best. I barely even know them, how would I know if they were gonna do it or not!?
Bruce-The very first Total Drama Cruise challenge...and I WON! (trembles) I...I don't know what I did to deserve this, but I truly am blessed!
(Sunshine Sailors)
The group of five returned, drenched and without any food.
"No luck?" Julius sighed.
"We'll get'em next time!" Patty exclaimed.
"Well, well, looks like miss perfect couldn't save the day after all," Madeline remarked smugly.
"It's not my fault," Rose replied daintily. "There was just too much incompetence for me to make up for."
"What's that you say!?" Cornell exclaimed as he shoved a magnifying glass in Rose's face. "Sabotage!? How fiendish!"
"I said nothing of the sort," Rose replied.
"Well, see here's the thing," Cornell said. "You're not a detective, you don't have my training, you don't have my keen sense of sight, so I think I'll trust my word over yours. And mine says sabotage! Which ever one of you thinks you're getting away with this...think again!"
"Pretty sure we just sucked," Molly replied.
"I will take this possibility under consideration," Cornell replied.
"Yes, hello Sunshine Sailors, you lost!" Jeanette's voice declared. "Just be thankful this wasn't an immunity challenge or one of you would be going home right now. I'm not so heartless though, you'll still get a meal for the night."
A smaller crate washed up against the side. Eli pulled it up and opened it to reveal nothing but cabbage.
"That is...positively disgusting," Hannah recoiled in horror
Lucas vomited over the deck suddenly.
"Well, we're off to a great start," Molly remarked.
Crow's Nest:
Rose-How completely ridiculous that people would actually try to blame me for this loss. Clearly there were other people far more to blame and I was one of few keeping us together.
Eli-So we got off to a bad start. No big deal, we'll rebound. Hey, I'm not someone who gives up easily. I like a challenge, I like toying with danger. If things were easy, I wouldn't have fun, so I say bring it on!
Hannah-If this is what losing entails...I dare say I am never going to allow it to happen again!
"Well, well," Jeanette said from within her office. "The game is afoot! Our two teams have been formed, and the whole world awaits for this game that shall unfold. Who will win!? Who will lose!? It all kicks off from here...on Total Drama Cruise!"
