And ive been totally slack celebrating Hug Months.... So give Kurda some huggage, in the pinky month of Love :)

Early morning on the island. A group of 7 survivors stand facing a vast expanse of jungle before them.

"Are we ready to enter within?" Larten inquired.

"Sure." Paris yawned, pulling a twig from his beard.

"Where is...the Speaking Coconut?" Harkat wondered. "We must...keep order!"

"This isn't a meeting, genius. We don't need the damn coconut." Mika growled. The day had barely begun and he was already in an dangerous mood.

"The wilderness must be explored!" Seba bellowed.

"Does this flower make my head look fat?" Kurda asked.

"What if...there are...carnivorous beasties?" Harkat gasped, hugging Arrow's leg in horror.

"We went over this last night, remember? Nothing's gonna hurt you." The bald Prince promised, patting the Little Person on the head.

"As long as you stand way back when I kill something edible, nothing's gonna hurt you." Mika added.

"There is leftover goat from last night, you do not need to kill anything today." Larten informed him sternly.

Mika glared and swiped his spear over Larten's head. He was intending to miss, but Larten took him quite seriously, and dropped to the ground screaming in terror. Mika also dropped to the ground from laughing his ass off.

"Mika, behave. Larten, be quiet." Paris demanded.

"If he ever orders me around again, next one's gonna be right through his neck." Mika snapped, stabbing his spear into the ground to make a point.

"That's enough. Larten is the Island Chief. We voted. You Lost. Deal with it." Arrow snorted in disgust. "What would Darren say if he saw how crazy you're acting?"

"Knowing him, something I don't care about." the dark Prince retorted.

"I'm asking you nicely, Mika. Stop being a crazy island monster and be yourself again. You're actually scaring me, so just...settle down." said Arrow with a note of uneasiness in his voice.

Mika looked down at his feet and pulled his spear out of the sand, and slowly looked up to face Arrow.

"Does this place look like Vampire Mountain to you? This place isn't even on the map. If you want to get out of here alive, you're gonna have to have some balls for once in your life. All of you." he sneered.

"Hear hear! I knew I made good students." Seba called, dragging his chair over to stand by Mika.

"I'm not your student, Seba. But if it makes you feel better..."

"That would be ME, thank you very much!" Larten exclaimed, feeling incredibly insulted.

"I don't even...know what balls are!" Harkat wailed.

"Don't listen to him, Harkat." Arrow sighed. "The fresh air is just going to his head. Darren will come take us home soon."

Harkat sniffled dismally and followed the group as they trudged into the jungle. No one had ever seen such a depressed Harkat before. It was extremely disheartening.

"So, welcome to the jungle!" Larten commented in a effort to lighten the mood. "On your right, you can see a delightful grove of what appears to be...erm...guava trees, and to the left we have a very tall bush, a species of which I am not familliar with. Under our feet we have a collection of...erm..."

"EVIL TENTACLES OF EARTH DEMONS!" Seba screeched, whacking them with his chair. The evil tentacles were in fact bright green vines, which had a tendency of wrapping around one's feet. Navigating the jungle was not an easy task, Harkat kept getting swallowed by shrubbery and vines, Seba's chair frequently got caught on foliage, Kurda kept taking detours to avoid muddy patches, and Mika did not hesitate to knock over anyone who got in his way. Not to mention the local insects were aquiring a taste for Vampire blood. Half an hour later, nothing enjoyable or friendly had been encountered, and to the extent of their knowledge, this island was entirely comprised of the strip of beach, and an endless expanse of jungle.

"Do you think those fruit things are edible?" Arrow wondered aloud to lighten the mood, eyeing a bush loaded with pinky-red spikey-looking fruits.

"I dunno, but they're pretty." Kurda contributed.

"The pretty ones are always the deadliest." Paris noted. "But if someone wants to test them, I'm sure everyone will join me in saying, "Good luck to you"."

"I vote Kurda tries it." said Mika.

"Ew, it probs gives you pimples. Mika, you eat it." said Kurda.

"Agreed." said Arrow.

"Eat it yourself." Mika snapped.

Before Arrow and Mika started World War 3, Paris interjected with:

"Let's just keep walking and leave the pretty fruit alone."

"Good idea." Harkat sighed in relief.

"Bunch of pansies." Mika growled.

The group battled their way through a few more minutes of jungle before Larten said,

"Would anyone be interested in participating in a sing-along?"

"Youuuuu, your love, your love is my drugggg!" Kurda burst out.

"Nooooo....." Mika and Arrow moaned in unison. For a second, they looked like BFFL again, until Mika grumbled,

"Don't even lie, you know you love that song. You have all her albums in your room and you kiss them goodnight before you go to sleep."

In retaliation, Arrow shoved Mika into a bush of prickles. He hated Kesha and her Godforsaken music with a passion and owned no such albums. Mika however, did not appreciate the multitudes of thorns that were now penetrating his skin. He jumped up, crashed through several layers of waist-height vines, and tackled Arrow from behind and shoved him facedown into a puddle. Spitting mud, the bald Prince crawled out of the puddle, charged at Mika, and attempted to bodyslam him into a tree. The tree, unfortunately, collapsed on impact, and Mika and Arrow suddenly felt themselves flying through the air, dropping like rocks.

!

They hit water at the same time, and were momentarily lost in a haze of bubbles. Upon surfacing, they noted they were in a small pool of what tasted like natural spring their right, a waterfall cascaded from the surrounding cliffs. And about 100 feet above them, the worried faces of Harkat, Larten, Paris, Seba and Kurda peered down at them.

"Dudes! We found drinking water!" Arrow yelled happily. "Get down here!"

Harkat immediately flung himself over the edge, and landed headfirst, then floated over to Mika and Arrow. Larten and Paris came next, with slightly less enthusiasm for the plunge. Kurda and Seba were both hell-bent on NOT diving, but eventually Seba's chair fell off the side, dragging Seba with it, who in turn dragged Kurda down. Within 5 minuites, everyone was making themselves quite at home: Seba had parked his chair in a shallow section and was sitting on it, Kurda was putting on a mud mask, Mika was spearing fish, Harkat was lying on a low tree branch overhanging the pool, Paris was splashing Harkat, Larten was examining a shiny rock he'd pulled from the depths of the pool, while getting splashed by Paris and Arrow. He splashed back several times with a wicked grin on his face, but suddenly regained control, and stated dismally:

"Darren would have enjoyed this."

"We should...enjoy it...for him." Harkat declared.

"Deffers." Kurda agreed, looking like a very stylish swamp monster with his mud mask and flowers braided into his hair.

"I can almost hear him begging us to partake in a splash war." Paris chuckled.

"I miss that boy quite terribly." Larten sighed. "If he was here, he would say-"

"KOWABUNGAAAAAA!!!" Arrow bellowed, soaring over the group's heads, swinging on an exceptionally thick vine. He came crashing down dangerously close to Mika, who under normal circumstances might not have tried to drown him. The incident was forgotten however, as the pool was cleared and a line formed behind the swining vine, which could be used by grabbing the vine securely, then jumping from a small muddy hill located on the forresty side of the pool. First up, Seba Nile.

"Um, I wouldn't reccomend tying it around your waist." Arrow informed him.

"When I was your age, this was how we got things done." Sebe crabbed. He lunged off the cliff, but was held back by the added weight of the chair, and ended up suspended 5 feet above the water.

"I am astounded that finger is still attached." Larten muttered incredulously.

Eventually Seba was freed by Harkat's knotting abilities, and was given the safe task of monitoring the antics of a turtle that had been found nearby.

Harkat took his turn on the vine, and his flight almost took him on a direct collision with the cliff on the other side of the pool, but he let go just in time. Kurda's first try ended in disaster when the vine became tangled around his arm, and he recieved a nasty abrasion which bled enough to make him sob in anguish for several seconds, but to everyone's suprise he gave the vine another try. Larten rode the vine once, for Darren's sake, and screamed the whole way. Paris tried twice, deciding he could relax when he was dead. Harkat rode the vine 3 more times, hyperventilating with glee progessively louder with each swing. Mika actually dropped his spear long enough to join in the fun. He even formed a wordless truce with Arrow as the afternoon progressed. If there were any more squabbles to be had, they didn't need to intrude on an otherwise joyful moment. Arrow was suprised and relieved that Mika still had enough sense to recognize this, but they both knew deep down it wouldn't last...

heeeeeee cliffeeeyyy. kinda.

HAPPY HUG KURDA MONTH.
