Survivor: Delfino
The sun shown brightly over the tropical paradise that is Isle Delfino; located in the southern Mushroom Kingdom. It was a paradise, and a very popular one at that. Many tourists were attracted from all over, mainly for the towns clean water supply; and the amusement park just across a brief stretch of sea. But this isn't what this story is about, no, this is about the sixteen fictional characters brought to this location to battle it out for the title of Sole Survivor, and the one million dollars that goes with it.
A helicopter flew just above the island, it seemed to be titled slightly to one side, as a familiar looking man stood out one of the doors, overlooking the island. He wore a white baseball cap, a pair of sunglasses, and a blue button up shirt. This man, was none other then Jeff Probst, the emmy award winning, reality television host. "Isle Delfino, usually a tropical paradise, home to many a families vacation, is about to become anything but. It is here, that these sixteen castaways will be marooned, forced to work together, face the elements, and build an entirely new world," Jeff narrated, as the helicopter pulled closer to a wooden boat, that slightly resembled a pirate ship. "These castaways all come from different worlds, and different walks of life." The camera trucked down the group of castaways, revealing a huge variety of castaways.
"We have, a multi-million dollar CEO, owner of one of the finest fictional companies in history," Jeff announced, the man in question became the camera's point of focus. He wore a black tuxedo, with a red tie. His jet black hair was slicked back, and he was extremely well built.
(Confessional)
"Normally you'd think the business man wouldn't be suited for this game, but I'm no normal business guy, I'm the CEO of Wayne Enterprises, we're not even a normal company," the man stated, flashing a small half-smile, that almost went unnoticed.
(End)
"A pirate hunter, who enforces the law with an iron fist, in her home town of Bilgewater." The pirate hunter herself, actually wore a pirate hat, but aside from that, she had long red hair and bright red lips. Her clothes were very shiny, tight fitting, black pants, she wore a short black vest, which was covering a tattered, white, strapless, tube top.
(Confessional)
"They call me Miss Fortune, I guess it makes sense, I could either be your best friend, or your worst nightmare." With that said, Miss Fortune winked and brought her finger to her ruby red lips, and gently blew on it, as if blowing the smoke off of a gun.
(End)
"And a ninja, who is anything but normal." With the mention of the ninja, the camera's focus rested on him. He had spiky blonde hair and wore a headband with the symbol of a leaf in the center. His clothes, despite his role of a ninja, were bright orange.
"I'M NARUTO UZUMAKI! No one will forget my name! I never give up, I never surrender! I'm gonna kick their butts!" Naruto shouted.
"In order to survive, they'll have to work together, and learn how to adapt." The camera zoomed out, as the boat stopped suddenly, the helicopter was nearing the boats location, as the anchor was thrown overboard. "39 days, 16 people, ONE Survivor!"
Episode 1: "Marooned and Forgotten"
As the anchor slammed into the ocean floor, Jeff climbed down the long rope ladder that extended down to the ship below, the group of castaways awaiting his word, or direction.
"Castaways," Jeff stated calmly, each person looking intently at Jeff, "there's no time to explain, you're about to be marooned and forgotten on this island, all you need to know is that this boat contains supplies; essentials that you will need in order to live out here. Behind each tribe there is a raft. You may start by unhooking the raft and dropping it into the ocean." The 'tribes' that Jeff was referring to were the groups sitting on either side of the boat, the CEO, Bruce Wayne, sat on the Pianta Tribe, whose color was Orange; while Miss Fortune and Naruto, sat on the Noki Tribe, whose color was Blue. "Alright, on my go, you will have ONE minute, to take as many supplies as you think you will need and get them on your rafts, after that minute, you will be given maps. These maps will lead you to your tribes camp."
"Survivors ready. Go!"
On Jeff's mark, all sixteen castaways jumped up at once, each grabbing something different, in order to prepare themselves for the coming thirty-nine days. There was a lot of screaming and shouting involved, most directed at grabbing the bags labeled 'rice' or 'beans', which would become exceptionally useful for the entire game. Once one minute was up, Jeff called time. However, instead of giving any explanation, Jeff tossed the two tribes their maps, and they set off.
PIANTA TRIBE, DAY 1
"Well, we're here..., doing whatever guys," joked a girl sitting in the back of the rift, as she dipped her oar in, to propel the raft forward. The girl had long-ish brown hair, pulled back in a braided ponytail. She wore a gray looking top, which could also be considered very faded blue, brown short shorts, and large brown boots. Her name: Lara Croft.
(Confessional)
Lara, Pianta Tribe, Tomb Raider: My entire profession involves running through musty old temples, digging through dirt, and exploring dangerous areas, in other words, I'm right at home.
(End)
"Oh! Oh! I call being the guy to fall off the raft," said a larger, overweight man, who was sitting closer to the front. He wore a simple white button up shirt, and green pants. He had a short brown hair and glasses, but his most notable feature, was his prominent cleft chin. His name: Peter Griffin.
"I see we have one joker already," Bruce said casually from the center of the raft, a small smirk formed upon his face, though if one looked closely, one could tell he was faking it.
As the tribe continued their banter, the raft slowly approached the shore, while two members; Natsu Dragneel and Harold McGrady hopped out to steady the raft.
Natsu was clearly built for the game. He had rather spiky pink hair, a white scarf, and a black unbuttoned vest, with a gold trimming. His pants were white, and a sort of skirt that matched his vest. Natsu also had what seemed to a tattoo of a fairy, just below his right shoulder.
Harold seemed to be a stark contrast from Natsu. While Natsu was well built, Harold was pencil thin, and had seemingly no muscle whatsoever. His scrawny structure was covered by a blue t-shirt that had a hamburger decal dead center, underneath was a longer, salmon pink shirt. He also wore a pair of green jeans.
"This raft is sort of heavy, but it is no match, for my mad skills!" Harold shouted, as he posed excitedly, Natsu chuckled.
"Yeah! I'm so pumped!" Natsu screamed, as he clenched both fist and jumped into the air. Bruce raised an eyebrow suspiciously at the two of them.
(Confessional)
Bruce, Pianta Tribe, CEO: I understand that they're excited, but there is business to take care of. If you're here to sight see and scream and shout, you're obviously not taking this game to seriously.
(End)
The other three members of the Pianta Tribe were: Emmeryn; an apparent queen, who decided to try her hand at the game in order to give to her people. Muriel, a caretaker, and a farmers wife, who lives in a house in the middle of nowhere, and Juliet Starling, a young cheerleader, who interestingly, fights zombies for a living.
Emmeryn had on a long green and yellow cloak, and a yellow dress that fell short just after her knees. She also wore green boots, and her light brown hair was braided in the front, as her crown stood up in the back.
Muriel was an older lady, who had curly white hair, and small, circular glasses. She wore a green dress, and a large, yellow apron. Her most apparent feature, however, were her large, black boots.
Finally, Juliet had on a blue cheerleading outfit, complete with matching skirt. The top read: San Romero Knights across it, which gave away her home town. Juliet herself was stunning and her blonde hair was kept neatly in two pigtails.
"So, what do we do now?" Muriel asked. "Maybe we should get to building, my husband Eustice would be good for that."
"Building what?" Juliet asked, obviously oblivious to what was going on.
"I think she means a shelter, Juliet," Emmeryn said calmly, her kind voice seemed to bring happiness to anyone who she spoke to.
"Oh, right! I completely forgot! Lets get started!" Juliet cheered.
(Confessional)
Juliet, Pianta Tribe, Cheerleader: I REALLY, like Emmeryn. She's so nice! I really think she may be the nicest person I've ever met! Like, for real!
(End)
"Maybe we should just relax for a bit first," Peter suggested, as laid down on a rock, after taking off his shirt. Bruce approached him casually; Bruce had also taken off his top, revealing a well chiseled body. He obviously trained himself to amazing heights back home.
"A break sounds like it may be good for us all, no sense in working right away, when you just got to your campsite," Bruce said, but he jumped a bit at what came next.
"LET'S GO LOOK AROUND IN THE FOREST!" Natsu shouted. His excitement took him into the woods, with Harold and Juliet following suit, this actually made Bruce smile a bit.
"Oh, kids..., know what I'm sayin' Peter?" Bruce asked.
"Yeah..., who needs em?" Peter stated, a dumbfounded, relaxed expression on his face. This caused Bruce's smile to vanish, and instead he rose a brow.
(Confessional)
Bruce, Pianta Tribe, CEO: Peter is..., an interesting man. Lazy, fat..., stupid. He's probably American...
(End)
In this time, Lara was sitting with Emmeryn and Muriel, who had begun attempting to make a makeshift broom.
"What are you doing...?" Lara asked, her voice had a hint of annoyance apparent in it.
"I'm making a broom, this beach is so dirty! We need to clean," Muriel commented; Lara raised an eyebrow, but just as she was about to comment, Emmeryn smiled, and rested her hand on the older ladies shoulder.
"I think that is a wonderful idea Muriel, you would do well to care for our well-being out here," Emmeryn stated, a warm smile on her face.
"Oh thank you Emmeryn, I appreciate your kind words, would you care to help?"
"I would be overjoyed."
(Confessional)
Lara, Pianta Tribe, Tomb Raider: I..., am speechless. Emmeryn and Muriel are sort of nutty. Cleaning, the outdoors? Are you kidding? Are you stupid...? I think they both might be. Either that or Emmeryn's just to nice to tell Muriel that SHE is stupid.
(End)
Lara slowly shook her head at the two in disapproval of their actions, but declined to comment. Meanwhile, the camera faded out, and into a new location. The camera panned along a coastline, as another raft drifted onto the beach.
NOKI TRIBE, DAY 1
The Noki Tribe arrived at camp, and two members, much like on Pianta, jumped off to bring the raft onto shore. These two were; Captain Falcon, a racer, and Roy Mustang, a Colonel in the army.
Captain Falcon wore a blue jumpsuit, a red helmet with a yellow falcon dead center, and a white shoulder guard on his left shoulder. He also had large yellow boots, and an exceptionally muscular build.
Roy wasn't as well built, but still had a decent amount of muscle. He had shorter black hair, and wore his blue army uniform, with a pair of white gloves.
"Well, I guess this is it," Roy stated, a smirk forming on his face. "Time to get this game started!"
(Confessional)
Roy, Noki Tribe, Colonel: I think no matter what, this team I'm on, we're gonna kick butt. Sure we've got a few weirdos, but even the weirdest weirdo can become useful if you motivate them correctly. (Roy snapped his fingers, giving the same smikr as he did when he first spoke.)
(End)
Other members of the tribe include: Dr. Vellian Crowler, a teacher with a PhD in Duel Monsters. Phosphora, a young commander in an army of nature. Samus Aran, a bounty hunter. And Mandy, a young girl with a serious attitude problem.
Dr. Crowler was a taller man. He had long blonde hair, tightly pulled into a ponytail. He wore a large blue trench coat and tight purple pants, with a pink collar popped up. His most distinguishing feature however, were his dark purple lips, which caused concern from many of his teammates.
Phosphora had shorter blonde hair, that ended in orange highlights. She had on a split piece, white top, and large blue scarf, which seemed to end in a lightning bolt. She also seemed to have vines rapping around her left arm and leg.
Samus was also fairly tall. She had on an all blue jump suit, and long blonde hair in a ponytail. Her figure was stunning, and she had an extremely pretty face.
Finally, Mandy was extremely short. Her blonde hair pointed upward, and looked almost like horns. She wore a black headband and a pink dress with a flower decal on it. She also had on black shoes.
"Okay, whose the weird tall lady?" Mandy asked, referring to Crowler, everyone looked around, most eyes landed on Crowler.
Crowler also looked around, looking at each of the other three girls, but not noticing many things weird about them. "Who is she talking about? Is it you?" Crowler asked, looking directly at Samus.
Samus smiled a bit, and laughed. "No, but I have a fairly good guess of who she was referring to."
(Confessional)
Samus, Noki Tribe, Bounty Hunter: Mandy should probably watch that mouth of hers. It could definitely get her in trouble out here; you never know who you could offend, especially if the prize is a million bucks.
(End)
Soon, the Noki Tribe divided itself into four groups, Samus and Captain Falcon in one, Roy went with Miss Fortune. Naruto, Phosphora, and Crowler formed one, and Mandy sat by herself.
"So..., a bounty hunter eh. Interesting career choice for such a..., lovely young lady," Captain Falcon stated. Samus blushed intensely, though she did seem to be offended by the first part of the comment.
"S-So what, I'm the best there is. No one can out hunt me, my looks don't mean a thing!" Samus shouted.
"Whoa, whoa! I didn't mean it like that, relax! No need to get so upset."
(Confessional)
"Falcon", Noki Tribe, F-Zero Racer: I really didn't mean to offend her. I work as a bounty hunter as well, when I'm not racing. I've just never seem a woman bounty hunter as attractive as her before, I guess.
(End)
"I'm sorry..., I just, I'm very serious about my work."
"No worries, I should be the one who is sorry."
Meanwhile, Roy spoke with Miss Fortune.
"I'm getting the feeling that this game is gonna get pretty intense, pretty soon," Roy stated.
"Yeah. And what makes you think that?"
"Well, think about it. Mandy already pissed off Crowler, and now she's by herself. We've already divided into groups, and no discussion of living condition has even remotely occured yet."
"Hm. Interesting observation, especially the group part. You think it'll stick?"
"If I know people the way I think I know people, we just have to be the ones in charge. Get into a group, and stay there."
"Well, we have three choices; Naruto, Phosphora, and Crowler."
"Mandy."
"Or Falcon and Samus."
(Confessional)
Roy, Noki Tribe, Colonel: Do I think Miss Fortune trusts me? No, not very much. Do I trust her? Probably not. But for now, she's all I got, and she's gonna be fine for now. Now I just have to figure out how to stick with, and for how long.
(End)
"The nerve of that girl," Crowler mumbled.
"Oh relax Crowler! It's not that bad!" Phosphora chimed in.
"It's totally bad! She called me a woman, I am a MAN! She is an insolent fool, that child! Insolent I tell you!"
"Oh relax ya big baby! If you dress like a woman, why do you care if people call ya one?" Naruto asked, as he adjusted his headband.
(Confessional)
"Crowler", Noki Tribe, Duel Monster Professer: The nerve, the NERVE of these children! None of them understand the true value of beauty in the art of dueling. Who cares if I wear make-up! I'll show them whose boss!
(End)
Meanwhile, Mandy poked around in the sand, drawing strange pictures. Soon she found herself looking out at the ocean. The sun was setting, a nice bright, orange, pinkish color took over the sky. "I'm used to being the loner...," Mandy's confessional began.
(Confessional)
Mandy, Noki Tribe, Student: ..., it's cause not many people get me. Back home, I only have two friends. An idiot, and the grim reaper. And that's all I need, not some ugly doctor, not some obnoxious ninja, and definitely not some hyper-active race car driver.
(End)
NOKI TRIBE, NIGHT 1
"So, I zipped past him, and came in hot for the win," said Captain Falcon, who was obviously finishing detailing a story about one of his racing feats.
"Do you ever stop talking about yourself?!" Naruto squawked. "I mean, we're trying to sleep here, and all you're doing is talking! Think about someone else for a change!" This woke quite a few people up. Phosphore gently rubbed her eyes and yawned, meanwhile, Crowler, who had been sleeping next to Naruto, shot up and bumped his head on the top of the shelther, and Roy fell off the other side. Mandy also woke up, but instead of yelling, she hopped out of the shelther, and decided to take a walk down the beach. The only person who managed to stay asleep was Miss Fortune.
"Naruto! What the hell do you think you're yelling for?! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS?!" Crowler growled, his eyes blood red from being woken up to early.
"...ouch," Roy mumbled from the ground, "how did I end up down here...?" Roy asked.
"Whaz goIng omn..., I jusp oneda sleep...," Phosphora mumbled groggily, as she collapsed back down and immediately returned to sleeping. Instead of arguing with Naruto, Falcon took a page out of Mandy's book, and he also hopped out of the shelter, and decided to walk down the beach, making sure not to disturb the other castaways; which also left Samus, Crowler, and Roy to glare angrily at Naruto.
"FINALLY! Now I can get some sleep!" Naruto cheered, as he rolled over, with a stupidly huge grin across his face.
PIANTA TRIBE, DAY 2
"Well, back to the old grind," Peter stated, as he stretched down to touch his toes, but let out a tremendous fart. "And..., done. That oughta do it for today."
(Confessional)
Harold, Pianta Tribe, Nerd: Gosh! Peter sure can be weird. Funny, but weird. I like him.
(End)
"Well that was a sad attempt at exercising," Lara commented from inside the shelter, speaking to Muriel and Juliet.
"Oh Lara, you mustn't be so judgmental, maybe that's just how Peter does it," Muriel stated firmly, giving Lara a brief nod.
"Besides, we need someone like Peter, he's funny!" Juliet added.
"Okay..., yeah..."
(Confessional)
Muriel, Pianta Tribe, Care Taker: I think Lara just needs a friend. She seems so lonely!
(End)
"There there, Lara, it'll be okay! Just try to calm down now," Muriel stated, what Muriel didn't notice is that Lara rolled her eyes.
"I'm going for a walk...," Lara stated, as she turned and hopped out of the shelter, just as Bruce and Natsu returned with some firewood. When Lara was out of earshot, Bruce tilted his head and began asking questions.
"What was that all about?" Bruce asked.
"Eh, she's probably just mad cause she's not as cool as I am," Natsu stated with a grin as he flexed his right arm, this caused Bruce, Juliet, and Muriel to chuckle slightly.
"Oh my you two, you didn't have to go and get this firewood for us, that was so very kind of you," Muriel noted.
(Confessional)
Muriel, Pianta Tribe, Care Taker: I really like the tribe I got placed on, I think we have a good work ethic. Now if only Lara would come around...
(End)
NOKI TRIBE, DAY 3
"Something about an 'immunity' challenge," Miss Fortune stated, sounds powerful, I'm in."
"Immunity?! What could that possibly mean?" Naruto asked.
"I guess we're about to find out, there's a map connected to this thing," Crowler remarked. Sure enough, there was indeed a map attached to the paper they received about the challenge.
"Are we all set?" Roy asked.
(Confessional)
Naruto, Noki Tribe, Ninja: So we're all set for this thing called an immunity challenge, and anything called a challenge, means there can be a winner, and THAT is going to be me!
(End)
As the Noki Tribe set off for the immunity challenge, the Pianta Tribe did the same. A The camera switched to a large beach, where Jeff stood toward the crashing waves, there were two large, wooden towers, two extremely long ropes, and what looked like an obstacle course in the shallow part of the water. "Come on in guys," Jeff said, a look of excitement brimming on his face. As he said this, the Pianata Tribe emerged from the woods on the left, while the Noki Tribe strolled down the beach to the right. Both tribes stepped on their respective colored mat, Pianta on orange, Noki on blue. "Alright, I bet both tribes are wondering what exactly an immunity challenge is," Jeff began, he was met with a resounding yes, to which he smiled at. "Alright, in this game, immunity is what is most important," with that said, Jeff tore a tarp off of whatever was sitting next to him, revealing a large spear looking object, adorned with a shine sprite, a local Delfino prize. "This is the Immunity Idol, if your tribe has this, you avoid Tribal Council. See, every three days, you will compete in challenges, should you win, you avoid leaving the game, but if you lose, you will be sent to tribal council, where you WILL be voting someone out of this game." A lot of people were shocked to hear this, but several others, such as Bruce or Miss Fortune grinned at this.
"Alright, should we get to it?" Jeff asked, again, he was met with a resounding yes. "Alright, for todays challenge, the rules are simple. Both tribes will be chained together by a rope, you will take your torch, and enter the water. Once in the water, you will have to maneuver around an obstacle course, until you reach the bin of fire at the end, once you do, dip your torch in and light it. After that, you will carry the torch back to shore, and light your tower on fire. First tribe to light their tower wins immunity, safe tonight from Tribal Council." Jeff's last comment put a smile on many of the castaways faces, but Naruto of course was sure he'd kick butt in the challenge, with Jeff's word, the teams got ready to begin the challenge.
On their mats, the tribes stood at the ready, waiting Jeff's word to start the challenge. Jeff raised his arms, "Survivor's ready? BEGIN!" On Jeff's mark, the castaways raced out, Natsu baring the torch for Pianta, while Falcon bared Noki's torch. The order of the chain for Pianta was Natsu, Lara, Bruce, Juliet, Harold, Muriel, Peter, and finally, Emmeryn. The order of Noki's chain was Falcon, Samus, Roy, Miss Fortune, Naruto, Mandy, Crowler, and finally, Phosphora. The two tribes eventually reached the water.
While in the water, a lot of screaming arose, many people excited to win the first challenge, others in frustration that certain people just couldn't handle what Jeff was dishing out to them. As the two tribes raced out, Muriel almost immediately fell just as Emmeryn made her way into the water, which cause Harold to fall, and Peter to trip over her. "And Muriel takes a hard fall, taking Peter and Harold with her. Not a pretty sight for the Pianta Tribe," Jeff remarked. Natsu, of course though, continued running on, not really caring too much that two of his tribemates fell down, as they were in the water, and despite the weight of both Muriel and Peter combined, Natsu knew they'd be easy to drag along. Despite the seperation that was apparent in the Noki Tribe however, Falcon was easily leading his tribe to victory.
"Keep steady! No mistakes, we can win this!" Falcon cheered, his torch arm held high. Though they only had slight lead, Noki's morale was noticeably significantly higher than Pianta's.
"Noki with a slight lead, Pianta, you've gotta move!" Jeff exclaimed. This wasn't super encouraging, especially since both Peter and Muriel had only recently gotten back to their feet. Lara, who was used to being nimble and quick, was getting rather annoyed with her tribes unathleticism.
"Pick it up you two!" Lara yelled from her place in the line; however, this startled Muriel.
"Oh my," she called, before again toppling over, this time, bringing Harold and Juliet with her.
"This isn't working...," said Lara, who was visibly annoyed.
"Muriel takes another hard fall, Pianta Tribe, quickly falling out of this challenge." With Jeff's commentary, the Noki Tribe reached their fire bin, dipping the torch inside in order to claim their flame. With torch in hand, the Noki Tribe circled around, and began making their way back to the beach, leaving the Pianta Tribe in the metaphorical dust.
"To victory!" Screeched Naruto from the back of the line, he was excited to win the first challenge, so excited that he made sure that the other team know that they were losing.
"Ignore him, keep moving!" Harold cheered. This inspired a smile from Bruce.
"Harold's right, we haven't lost yet," Bruce noted, just as Natsu reached the bin. As Natsu dipped the torch in, a fire of morale lit again in the eyes of the Pianta Tribe.
"Now I've got a fire in my belly," Natsu bellowed, as he lead his team around the corner.
"Looks like the Pianta Tribe is in the works of a comeback," Jeff commented, as Naruto gasped.
"They're catching up! We can't let them do that, we have to go faster," Naruto explained, just as Falcon reached shore. The rest of the Noki Tribe followed suit, looking behind just to see how long they had to win. The Pianta Tribe wasn't very far behind at all, all it would take is about fifteen seconds longer for Natsu to reach shore, and he had an ear to ear grin stretched across his face as he lead the charge.
"You've gotta untie Noki, get your tower lit!" Jeff explained. The Noki Tribe reached their mat and unclipped themselves from the rope, as they did this, Natsu made it to shore, with the rest of the Pianta Tribe in tow. As the Pianta Tribe neared their mat, Falcon passed off the torch to Naruto, who put the torch in his mouth, and climbed to the top of the tower. As Naruto was climbing, the Pianta Tribe was finishing unclipping, Natsu opting to keep the torch, and racing toward the tower...
...
...
...
...
..., however, it was all for nought, as Naruto lit the Noki Tribe's tower first. "NOKI, WINS IMMUNITY!" Jeff called. Cheers erupted from the Noki Tribe's mat, Naruto backflipped off of the tower and joined his tribe. Bruce shook his head at the loss his tribe suffered, while Emmeryn patted him on the back. Natsu sulked and fell off the tower in sadness.
"I hate losing...," Natsu mumbled from the ground. After all of the celebration and sadness was done, the teams again stood on their mats, waiting for Jeff's word.
"Alright, congratulations Noki Tribe, come claim your prize," Jeff stated. As he said this, Naruto raced up and claimed the Immunity Spear, nodding cockily in the direction of the Pianta Tribe. "Immunity is yours, enjoy it. Grab your stuff, head back to camp." Jeff then gestured towards the Pianta Tribe and shook his head. "Pianta Tribe, I've got nothing for you, except a date with me tonight at Tribal Council, where one of you will earn the distinction of being the FIRST ever person voted out of Survivor: Delfino, and the show in general. You have the afternoon to figure out who, head back to camp."
(Confessional)
Lara, Pianta Tribe, Tomb Raider: Muriel is a hazard. If we keep her, we stand no chance at continuing deeper into this game. No. Chance.
(End)
PIANTA TRIBE, DAY 3
The Pianta Tribe returned to camp in a blaze of sadness. Bruce and Peter immediately wanderd toward the beach, Natsu slumped against a tree and sulked, Harold and Juliet immediately fled to the shelter and sulked as well. Meanwhile, Lara set off to talk to Bruce, Emmeryn sat down in the shelter to try and cheer Harold, Natsu, and Juliet up, while Muriel began working.
"So..., vote someone off, right?" Bruce asked.
"That's what Jeff said, I wonder how it'll work," Lara replied, as Peter chimed in.
"I don't know, but as long as it ain't me."
"I doubt it, Muriel is the weakest," said Lara, obviously still annoyed with her tribemates poor performance.
"Well, she's old Lara, not really her fault," Bruce explained. "However, I do agree that Muriel seems to be the best bet, though her age isn't to fault her for, she still isn't going to be of much use in challenges."
"So, Muriel then?" Peter asked, "just making sure it's not me. Cause y'know, if it's me, then I'll poo on all of you, and then you'll smell bad. Worse than you do now."
"Uh..., yes, Muriel...," Lara said. "No ifs, ands, or buts."
"Fine by me," Bruce stated, with a nod.
Meanwhile, the others were also discussing who to eliminate.
"So..., we have to vote someone off?" Harold asked.
"What do you guys think? Who should it be?" Juliet asked, she was lying down, so she began kicking her legs around.
"I think it should be Lara, she seems to be very confused," Muriel chimed in, as she walked past with her makeshift broom.
"Lara huh?" Natsu chimed, as he hopped onto his feet. "I think I can get behind that."
"Lara is rather good at the physical aspect, but she is a very angry person. It may be best to show her kindness and let her learn from her mistakes," Emmeryn agreed.
"So, Lara then?" Juliet asked.
(Confessional)
Muriel, Pianta Tribe, Care Taker: I know I said Lara needed help, but maybe the best help I can give her is sending her home. She seems very confused and angry. That's not very healthy.
(End)
Harold, Juliet, Natsu, and Emmeryn still sat together as Muriel set off the ocean for a brief second, Harold shook his head and shrugged, the other three nodded sadly, but knew what his gesture meant.
Immediately after this occured; a large wooden structure was shown, torches were lit, and the moon had just risen. The eight members of Pianta walked in line to the structure, which was apparently, the dreaded Tribal Council. Jeff stood waiting for the eight of them, while eight wooden seats also waited for the tribe. The eight members filed in, as Jeff nodded at them. When they finally stopped moving, Jeff gestured to a rack of torches behind them. "Behind each of you is a torch, everyone grab a torch. Dip into the pit and get fire, in this game, fire represents your life, if your fire goes out, then so, do, you. Such is the ritual of Tribal Council, we'll get started." With that, Jeff sat down, allowing the eight Pianta members to do so as well. As they sat, Jeff pointed at Bruce, and began speaking. "Bruce, three days in, bring me back. Day one, how did camp life start for you guys?"
Bruce pondered for a moment, and nodded. "It seemed as if we all kind of knew exactly what to do. Exactly how to get started. Build a shelter, get water. It was all done with in the first couple hours."
"Do you guys have fire?" Jeff's question was met with a shake of Bruce's head, indicating that they in fact, did not. "Alright. No fire, but you have a shelter, and you have tribal unity. Correct Lara?"
"Not entirely," Lara stated. This was met by several shocked responses, mainly from Muriel, Emmeryn, and Harold. Peter and Bruce remained unwavered.
"Emmeryn, you look shocked, what do you think Lara means?"
"I think, Lara may be confused. We only found today that one of us was going home, so it kind of caused a heightened sense of paranoia amongst the camp. Unity isn't our worry, refocusing ourselves will be our biggest concern," Emmeryn replied, to this, Lara shook her head.
"Lara, back to you. Shaking your head, you don't agree, do you?" Jeff asked.
"We have a weak link in the tribe Jeff, once it's severed, we can get back on track," Lara explained.
"Oh my, whose the weak link?" Muriel asked, looking around cautiously, Lara rolled her eyes, Bruce managed a small chuckle.
Jeff also smiled, though he was more confused, "So Lara seems to know something that you don't Muriel. There IS a weak link on this tribe, but you don't know who?"
"I guess I just feel as if everybody is pulling their own weight pretty well. It's hard to say there's weakness, when your tribe seems so united," Muriel stated.
"Alright. Well, with that, it is time to get to the vote; Bruce, you're up."
And so the Pianta Tribe voted, each going up to cast their ballot, and put it in the small urn that awaited them at the voting station. Jeff had already explained what to do. Walk down the path, write a name on the parchment, speak your piece, and place your ballot in the urn.
"I'm sorry, but you're nothing in this game, you're better off at home," Lara stated, her vote read: Muriel.
And so the votes continued, finally, it came down to two final voters: Muriel and Harold.
"I'm sorry, but you've just got to go, I can't vote for anyone else," Muriel stated, her vote read: Lara.
After Harold's vote, Jeff nodded upon his return. With that, Jeff stood up. "I'll go tally the votes." Jeff then proceeded to the urn, and after about ten minutes, returned with the urn in hand, he set it down on the table, and nodded at the castaways. "Once the votes are read, the decision is final, the person voted out will be asked to leave the tribal council immediately. For the first time, I'll read the votes." Almost none of the castaways looked nervous, as a matter of fact, they all looked rather calm. This was expected, as none of them knew of the intensity that Tribal Council would wrought as the season continued.
"First vote: Lara," Jeff read, Lara rolled her eyes and smiled, knowing that was Muriel's vote. "Muriel." Jeff stated, "one vote Muriel, one vote Lara." Muriel nodded at the fact that her name came up. "Muriel, that's two votes Muriel." Jeff then put the second ballot down, and plucked out the next; "Lara," Jeff stated, Lara's smile faded, and she rose a brow, who could have cast that vote, she wondered. "Muriel," Jeff stated, "three votes Muriel, two votes Lara." Muriel looked around at her tribe, rather confused, wondering who cast three votes for her, Lara was still trying to figure out who cast her two, or rather...: "Lara," Jeff stated, "we're tied, three votes Muriel, three votes Lara."
Lara could not believe what was happening. THREE VOTES? At the FIRST tribal council. How was this possible. The tomb diver rolled her eyes, as Jeff plucked out vote number seven: "Muriel." Lara calmly breathed a sigh of relieft, as Muriel's facial expression became a sort of frown. "First person voted out of Survivor: Delfino," Jeff stated...
...
...
...
..., "Muriel. Muriel, that's five votes, that's enough, you need to bring me your torch."
Muriel calmly stood up, a frown still on her face, however, as he scooped up her torch, she began smiling again very soon. The sweet old lady strolled her way over to Jeff and set her torch down calmly. "Muriel, your tribe has spoken." On that note, Jeff snuffed Muriel's torch.
Muriel calmly turned around and waved, "Oh my, good luck fellas," the kindhearted old lady chirped as she set out into the night, with that, Jeff turned back to the tribe.
"Well, it would seem as if you voted off the weak link, now the question is; how many other weak links are there?" Jeff asked, "that's a question to think about. Since you do not yet have fire, you will leave your torches here, until you figure out how to make it yourselves." With that, the Pianta Tribe all stood up simultaneously, Lara rolling her eyes at the thought that she recieved three votes. The tribe quietly exited the Tribal Council area the opposite way that Muriel did, and headed back to camp.
(End Episode 1)
Next time on, Survivor: The Pianta Tribe experiences a blow-up: "Who voted for me?! Who was it?" Lara cried.
And the Noki Tribe, learns how to fire: "We can do it, we can do it! It can't be that hard to make fire," Miss Fortune cheered.
The scene then cut to black.
Muriel's final words: "Oh my, I can't believe I got voted out first. Silly me. I guess I underestimated Lara, she seemed confused, but I guess I musta been the weak link that she was talking about. Well, at least now Eustice won't be alone with Courage for much longer.
