INSPIRATION: SUBNAUTICA.
"Author!" - Ruby shouted.
"Huh? Oh good morning Ruby." - Author woke up.
"It's afternoon now. The viewing is about to start." - Ruby concerned. - "Are ok? You look terrible."
"Yeah, I just stay up late, that's all." - Author yawned. - "The next viewing is the pain in the butt to edit."
"Huh?" - Ruby confused.
"Come on..." - Author groggy walked toward the cinema.
"Have everyone here yet?" - Author asked.
No one spoke up.
"Alright, a little background. This actually is one of the first time Jaune travel to another dimension. And it's the longest Jaune stayed in."
"How long was it?" - Velvet asked.
"5 years."
"5 years?" - Everyone shouted in surprise.
"Yeah, that's why this viewing only shows the first year and using Jaune diary during his stay as the narrative."
"Jaune has a diary?" - Pyrrha asked.
"Yes, in both this dimension and yours." - Author hit a realization. - "Actually, why don't I give it to you?"
"Really?"
"Yeah, but I don't have it right now, I need to call some favor to have it delivered."
"Any more questions?" - "No? Then lets the viewing begin."
"Now showing: Unknown World."
The screen showed Jaune's writing down his diary.
"Dear diary, It's been 5 days since I came here. I have a lot of free time here so I think why not write something in the notebook I brought with me."
The screen showed a top-down view of the island.
"I checked everywhere on this island, the no sign of civilization. I all on my own. The wildlife here is very strange, some of the plants and fish here have very vivid colors. I had caught a fish with a very big eye, so big it's almost cover its whole head, and it grows too."
The screen showed a small fish. It has a blue body and has a pair of large yellow eyes.
"What kind of fish is that?" - Oobleck in awed.
"I don't even dare try to eat the unknown plant and creature here but I'm getting sick of only eating coconuts."
#########
"Dear diary, It's been 1 week now, I started to adapt to the lifestyle here."
The screen showed Jaune went through his daily activities.
"In the morning, I gather leaf, tweak for the campfire. It's easy but takes a lot of time, the fire burns it out fairly quickly. If only I have woods but I have tried to chop a tree with a stone. It didn't go anywhere. Oum, I could kill for an ax right now."
"In the afternoon, I go fishing. Oh yeah, I have tried to eat the fish. It tastes funny, kinda like chicken. I haven't got sick yet so I think it isn't poisonous."
"You ate that thing?" - Coco disgusted.
"I wonder what it tastes like." - Blake murmured.
"At night, I can't really do anything other than sleep. But the sky is very beautiful here. There is a giant moon in the sky, and another one in the distance, smaller, not shattered like in Remnant."
"Wow" - Ruby awed.
"Yeah, it's beautiful." - Weiss admitted.
"I don't think the first one is a moon though. It looks like it can be the same size the plant he's standing on." - Oobleck said.
#########
"Dear diary, It's been 10 days now. I had caught an even weirder fish, I don't know if I should call it a fish. The creature extremely thin main body with pale-purple colored translucent bladders on top and bottom."
The screen showed Jaune held the fish by hand. Its head is bright orange and ovular in shape, possessing a pair of large eyes and no mouth.
"Ewww." - Everyone's disgusted.
"Fascinating." - Oobleck awed.
"It holds a fair amount of water in its bladders. The water is really fishy but not salty at all. It's definitely not seawater."
The screen showed Jaune poked open a bladder and tasted the water.
"Oh Oum!" - Some of the audience almost threw up.
#########
"Dear diary, It's been 2 weeks now. I started to think I wouldn't ever go back home. Maybe I have to accept this is my home now."
"Fearless leader! Don't give up" - Nora cheered.
#########
"Dear diary, It's been 3 weeks and 3 days now. The little side project I was doing finally pay off."
The screen showed Jaune held a stone ax with pride.
"You wouldn't think how I went through to make this bad boy. Not every stone can work as a blade and find the rope to hold it to a handle is a pain too."
The screen showed Jaune dangled dangerously on a cliff to reach for some vine.
"That is too dangerous." - Summer shouted.
"I don't think he can make any kind of protection." - Tai shook his head.
"The part took the longest time is sharpen the blade. It took too many try and error."
The screen showed a compilation of every failure Jaune made.
"His technique is wrong." - Port shooked his head.
"At least he's determined." - Ghira said.
#########
"Dear diary, It's been 1 month now. I think fully adapted to the new lifestyle... Wow, that's thought hurt more than I thought. Anyway, I'm trying to build a raft. It's slow going but I think it's necessary."
"That's a good idea." - Ozpin nodded. - "He can't and won't stay on the island forever."
#########
"Dear diary, It's been 1 month 1 week now. My favorite hoodie finally gave up on me. To be honest, I'm very surprised it held up this long. 50 cereal box well spent I would say."
The screen showed Jaune topless.
"Ohlala, mommy like." - Yang whistled.
"Yang!" - Ruby embarrassed.
"He looks good." - Coco admitted.
"You are so lucky." - Nora teased Pyrrha. Pyrrha blushed red like a tomato.
#########
"Dear diary, It's been 2 months now. Sorry for not writing much, but the last month is very repetitive. Chopping down wood, gathering food, that kind of stuff. My ax had broken twice now, luckily nothing serious but it reminds me to make some spare. The raft I was making looks promising, It's definitely can float but don't know can it hold together for a long trip. I'll give it a test run tomorrow, not too far to the island, it just needed to hold together for long periods."
"You'll never be too careful." - Ozpin nodded.
#########
"Dear diary, when I was on the raft I saw something, is it land? I don't know. I can only hope. I won't write anytime soon. I must get ready for my first big expedition."
The screen showed Jaune's on the raft looked at far.
"Where? I don't see it." - Yang asked.
"There!" - Blake pointed to a black dot.
"There? That's so far." - Weiss shocked.
"I don't think he has another choice." - Winter stated.
#########
The screen showed a speedup version of Jaune preparing.
"Dear diary, It's been 3 months now. I finally confident enough to give this expedition a try. Let's hope this isn't the last time I talk to you."
