Total Drama Fiji: Surviving the Drama
Chapter 4: Live Feed 1
Hey all! This is a filler chapter, I guess, between the tribe formations and the first challenge. Note, if some characters/tribes feature more than others, once again that boils down to the players' activity in the RP at that point. Enjoy!
Immediately after all tribes had been formed and given their buffs and maps, they each set out for their beaches.
Ika Tribe (Cody, Duncan, Gwen, Justin, Sierra, Tyler, Katie, Sadie)
Cody was looking at the map "Huh... well... follow me" .
Gwen followed Cody absently, stretching her arms as she did.
"We should head to our beach now" said Cody to his tribe.
"But this might be the last time I see Linds in a whIle!" Tyler told Cody.
Katie and Sadie followed Cody's suggestion, taking up their stuff, ready to head to the beach.
"We're really going to have to work hard this season if we want to stay together." Sadie whispered to her friend.
"And if one of us gets voted off, we'll have to work double!" Katie whispered back. "Let's not repeat last time!"
"Totally not gonna repeat!" Sadie agreed. "We've gotta stick to each other."
Justin walked towards Gwen. "Hey, can I talk to you?"
Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Err... sure?"
"I just wanted to say sorry for blackmailing you in the second season." Justin says, "It wasn't cool."
He flashes a smile at her.
"Says the villainous guy from TDA," Duncan muttered under his breath.
Gwen kept her suspicious look and narrowed her eyes at Justin.
Laga Tribe (Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Geoff, Harold, Heather, Lindsay, Trent)
"Really hope we can do better than Team Victory." DJ says hopefully while scratching the back of his head, animal curses and all coming back to him for a minute.
Confessional: "So far basically everyone has irritated me," huffs Heather. She points at the camera, "And if Duncan OR Justin think they can get under my skin they are solely mistaken; Alejandro tried that once and it won't happen again!" she folds her arms, trying to hide the emotion that crept up to her face."
Courtney followed Heather, seeing as she was the only one really trekking on to their beach. "You do know where you're going, right?" she questioned Heather. Heather looked at her and rolled her eyes, "Of course I do, just help me set up a camp or something." Courtney glared, but helped her nonetheless.
Heather noticed the other members of their team lagging behind with the exception of Courtney.
"When you losers decide to catch up!" she yells, "Courtney and I will be making shelters when we get there! You guys can at least get us clean water!" Heather turns to Courtney, who was annoyed that Heather was making orders for her. "You can get the supplies and I'll get the tools." Courtney's eye twitched but she nodded.
"I thought Bridgette was leader," Geoff blinked.
"Is Bridgette leading right now?" Heather questioned Geoff, "I'm all up for her ideas if she has any."
"Alright," Geoff replied, looking slightly frightened.
Heather smirked with superiority, "Thought so." Courtney couldn't do anything but roll her eyes.
Confessional:
Geoff: Everything is so different. I mean instead of a bathroom, I'm sitting here to Do my confession. Oh well. But anyway, Leshawna seems pretty weird lately. Why is she so quiet?
Manumanu Tribe (Alejandro, Beth, Eva, Zeke, Izzy, Noah, LeShawna and Owen)
Beth looked at Izzy, all while dragging the unconscious Ezekiel in her arms.
"Hey, Izz! You wanna help me drag Zeke to our camp?" Beth requested.
LeShawna walked over to Beth, offering to help.
"Thanks, LeShawna." Beth thanked the Sister, as the two started to cart the Homeschooled Boy under their arms.
LeShawna hadn't really said much, and that was definitely going to continue.
"Hey, LeShawna!" Geoff called from where he was standing with his tribe. "You've haven't talked much. Something wrong?"
"Nope." She responded plainly.
Ika Tribe (Cody, Duncan, Gwen, Justin, Sierra, Tyler, Katie, Sadie)
Cody spoke to the audience away from the tribe "Being tribe leader is going to be difficult for me. I hope I can make a good leader" .
"Where're we going, Cody?" Gwen sighed, brushing a twig from her hair.
"We're going to the left side of the island" Cody replied to Gwen.
"Good to know". Justin said.
She turned back to Cody. "and you're gonna lead us there?"
"I guess, I am tribe leader after all" Cody says as he looks back at the map.
"Oh, joy." Gwen mumbled. The lack of sleep was getting to her, and she felt snappier than usual.
"None of you want me as the leader... do you?" Cody asked.
Duncan looks at Cody.
"No offense twerp, but you aren't leadership material. Courtney was. But..."
"OK, guys, hold on." Justin says wrapping his arm around Cody, "I'm sure Cody here will make a great team leader."
Sierra looked at the rest of her tribe pointedly. "Cody is a great leader! Isn't he?" Her dark eyes burned, warning everyone else what would happen if they disagreed with her. "Of course we want him as leader!" she insisted.
"Yes, Sierra. Cody will obviously lead us to victory." Gwen faked cheerfulness but frowned as she said so.
Confessional:
Duncan: First things first, I don't trust Justin. Second, I want to make it up for Gwen and Courtney. Jail made me look into that. But I'll still be the bad boy everyone knew.
"Alright, if you guys say so" Cody said, as he started heading towards their beach.
Laga Tribe (Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Geoff, Harold, Heather, Lindsay, Trent)
Heather hauled a heavy log over to Courtney, who had finished one shelter and was halfway done with another. "I have to say," she starts, "I am slightly impressed with the progress."
"CIT remember?" reminds Courtney.
"How could I ever forget," Heather replies sarcastically. Good thing for her fast reflexes or the stick Courtney threw at her would have connected with her head.
Courtney dusted her hands on her pants and went over to Heather. "The shelters are done, guess food and water is next."
Heather shrugged, "Whatever, I need to tan and to look for potential boobytrap places for people who try to sneak on our beach."
"I was thinking the same thing!" Courtney exclaimed. Heather rolled her eyes and the duo headed for the well and then the forest.
Confessional
Bridgette sighed in disapointment and looked at the camera. "After all these years together you would thing we would all learn to just get along but NoOoOooo...," she rolled her eyes. "I guess that's why Chris calls it Total Drama." *hears her tribe trying to figure out how to set up shelter.* "This is gonna be an interesting season, for sure."
Following Bridgette to his team's beach, DJ was shown admiring one of the shelters Courtney had built. Looking more closely however he had a little frown as he saw that the shelter was kind of built haphazardly, various pieces of wood sticking out and loose twine were seen around the shelter. Reaching out to a particularly tall part of the shelter, DJ went ahead and retied two logs back together as they were slowly breaking apart from each other. With that small task done he wandered over to the outskirts of the jungle, gulping as he saw the dark expanse ahead of him.
Manumanu Tribe (Alejandro, Beth, Eva, Zeke, Izzy, Noah, LeShawna and Owen)
Chris watching all the off-screen action from his trailer; eating a large chocolate cake.
"Hey Chris!" Owen cheered. He had stood right behind the host.
"Owen! How did you get in my trailer? You're supposed to be with Tribe Manumanu!"
"I smelt your chocolate cake!" Owen replied. "Can I have some?"
Chris needed to think of a lie. Fast. "Uh, sorry man, it's glazed in vegetable oil; you wouldn't like it. Now get back to your tribe!" He took a walkie-talkie out of his pocket and called an intern to take Owen away.
"Awwww," Owen groaned. A large intern carried him off to Tribe Manumanu.
LeShawna looked to Owen with suspicion. "Where have you been?" She crossed her arms.
"Going to Chris," Owen sighed. "He had chocolate cake, and he wouldn't share. Even if it did have vegetable oil."
Leshawna opened her mouth, building up many questions. Instead of asking them, she just shook her head, turning to her tribe. "What we gonna do 'bout shelter?"
"Someone should get food," Owen noted. "Not only am I starved, but I think you guys are as well."
"I'll get started on shelter." Beth said out loud.
"Excellent idea, Beth," Alejandro nodded, "Why don't I help you with that?"
As Alejandro began to gather materials, he said, "I apologize if I came off harsh, earlier. It's nothing personal, but now that I'm here, it's important I watch my back."
Confessional:
"What can I say? I just enjoy people with huge muscles!" Beth said out loud in the Confessional.
Confessional:
Owen: Noah always told me to not trust Alejandro in TDWT. I kind of see his point. My little buddy is so smart!
Confessional:
"I still do not trust Alejandro. He is bad news." said Noah.
Ika Tribe (Cody, Duncan, Gwen, Justin, Sierra, Tyler, Katie, Sadie)
"Did you see that, Sadie? Justin totally just smiled at us!" Katie squealed. "He's sooo dreamy!"
"I know, right?" Sadie agreed. "But when I hook up with him, I promise I'll share him unless he's not okay with it."
"No way!" Katie said, her grin fading. "He'll like me way too much..." Her voice trailed off. "We really need to find another guy on our tribe so we can have one each."
Justin smirked Katie and Sadie's way. "Hey ladies can I talk to you?"
Gwen watched the two girls chat obnoxiously, while sorting through her bags.
"If I didn't know better," Duncan told Cody. "I'd say that Justin is going to use Katie and Sadie to get him far within the game. You with me?"
"It appears so... we should keep an eye on him" Cody said to Duncan.
Manumanu Tribe (Alejandro, Beth, Eva, Zeke, Izzy, Noah, LeShawna and Owen)
"Guys!" Owen called as ran to Manumanu. "I found FOOD!"
"You found some? Let me guess, did you eat it already?" Noah asked Owen.
"Don't be so pessimistic, Noah," Alejandro said, crossing his arms, "Owen would NEVER do that." Not if he wanted to stick around, anyway.
"Um...I ate a little," Owen whimpered, before smiling again. "But there's more growing on some trees. I couldn't get it though."
And with that, all twenty four contestants settled on their respective beaches, waiting for what was to come...
