Episode 1 Part 1 "Time to turn on the charm!"
"And here we are! Hello! I'm Caleb Quesly, and I'm here to bring you the premiere of Total Sole Survivor!" Caleb announced. He was standing in the same general beach area of the island with his sister.
Caleb went on, "Of course, I have my sister with me. Apparently, she's also the host. Pretty unreasonable on the producers' part, I know, but we're gonna have to roll with it"
"What's unreasonable about it?" Michigan asked.
"That I'm sharing my job with my sister, who doesn't even want the job. 'Can't say no to Reality TV' she says. 'What strategy is involved' she says" Caleb stated looking at his sister.
"Oh boo hoo, you're lucky they asked me. The other guy that was auditioning... let's just say it was a good thing there was security in that room," Michigan muttered as she shivered a bit.
"I don't know how I'm supposed to process that information.." Caleb said as he scratched his head.
"Take the information with a grain of salt, a smile, and some appreciation for your sis," Michigan said patting Caleb on the shoulder.
"A smile I can manage," Caleb replied, putting on his natural, witty smile, "But anyways, enough about us. A journey can't begin without its adventurers. A competition can't begin without its competitors. And a story of romance, friendship, betrayal, and rivalry can't begin without its characters. Let's meet the cast, shall we?"
"Well Caleb, it seems we shall" Michigan agreed as the camera began to slowly pan out from the beach area.
As the camera began it's transition, it zoomed over the ocean. The camera showed the eye-pleasing view of the sun reflecting off the waves as some dolphins would gracefully leap out of the water.
Then it would zoom up to show the clouds as some birds would soar by.
It was just a beautiful, tropical day.
Finally the camera angle would turn, landing on a large, large, large white ship. As the camera zoomed in on the ship, a girl was shown to be at the front of the ship. She was holding onto the rails, taking in every sight she was seeing so far.
"Woah.." The girls said amazed as she watched a group of fish swim near by the ship.
"Woah!" The girl repeated as she then turned to notice a group of butterflies fluttering right above her head, relocating to a new island.
She then noticed a bird flying fluidly overhead. It looked elegant, that was until it pooped on the rails of the ship.
"Woah?" The girl then said now with confusion, but she regained her smile.
She shrugged, "That's just nature."

Confessionals
The Nice Girl😊
The girl sitting in the confessionals had long brown hair and a blue headband on her head. She was wearing an orange dress that matched her orange heels. She had fair skin and some dark brown eyes. She was sitting in a nice, fresh outhouse with the camera facing her face. "Being here is like woah, am I right?! I'm so happy to be here! The view is just wonderful, well except for the view of the bird poop coming out of the birds, um, well- never mind, but other than that, it's nice with the butterflies, the weather, and the fish. I guess I just love the whole island vibe" The girl let out a satisfied sigh. "Anyways I'm Daisy Isabelle! You might know me, cause I'm a rising actress. I starred in 'Smiles are Medicine' and 'The Lovely Undesirables' as some recurring characters. I'm most known for that one scene in season 2, with the pancakes. People love that scene! Anyways, so what is a girl like me doing here?" Daisy seemed to pause as she asked the question like she wanted to say something, but just didn't know how. She finally said "I wanted the experience. The adventure. The friends. Plus we all need to get away from home every now and then. So let's see where this leads me!"
End
Daisy kept on admiring the environment as the camera panned to a different area inside the ship.
It would then show two people sitting across from one another, a boy and a girl. They were arm wrestling, both seeming to struggle to try and beat the other. Their strength seemed to be pretty balanced at the moment, as their arms stayed locked in the same place.
"You're pretty strong," The boy commented, managing to get the words out.
"I get that a lot," The girl just replied, not looking up, as she just focused on her working arm muscles. The girl then tried pushing more, but the boy just applied back the same force and they were in the same spot again.
The boy then seemed to study her, looking for a sign of weakness. The girl just kept focusing on her arms with a deep concentration. The boy then faked a cough to get her attention.
The girl then eventually looked up noticing him staring, "What are you looking at?"
"I don't know, but it's pretty," The boy commented with his best flirty smile. It was more cocky than flirty, but it still did the trick.
"What-" She began, his comment had taken her by surprise, and he was able to pin her hand on the table.
"Looks like I win," The boy said smugly as he stood up.
The girl stood up too, looking pretty irritated as she slammed her fist on the table, "That was a sucky move! Just a cheap trick cause you were gonna lose!"
The boy just kept his smug smile, "But I didn't lose did I? Although if it makes you feel any better, know most people would have been alarmed too if a stranger called them pretty. Well except for me, I'd take their compliment with swag."
The girl just gave him a disgusted look, "That was a dirty trick. Plus I don't need you to tell me that I'm pretty, so shut it."
"I'm guessing most people don't tell you that often," The boy just continued, as he then glanced at her up and down.
"I said shut up! Geez, we haven't even landed and you're already on my bad side," The girl grunted as she sat back down again. She turned the chair to face away from him.
"When was there ever a good side? I don't think so, so you can go ahead and shut up yourself and stop being a sore loser," The boy stated a little bluntly, crossing his arms. The girl just turned and gave him a 'I'm warning you' face, which he just gave his smug smile in response.
The girl clenched her fist as she stood up and edged forward, although she stopped herself before she could do anything
"Whatever. It's not worth getting kicked off the show already, just for this. You're a jerk," The girl spat as she turned and walked away.
"Actually wrong. I'm a winner," The boy stated as he watched her leave.

Confessionals
The Violent Cocky Asshole😈
The boy still had the smug smile on in the confessionals. He was 6'2, and had a dark skin tone. He had brown eyes, and some dirty, black hair. He was wearing some blue jeans, and a small coat with many pockets. He then had some blue shoes on his feet.
"The name's Balaam, or if you guys want to cut to the chase, go ahead and call me 'The Season 1 Winner'. What can I say, I do what It takes to win. That girl's lucky, at least I called her pretty. I was gonna go with stupid, but I didn't think It'll have the same effect," He shrugged. "I served in the military, so I suspect a show like this will be a cake walk. The only difference is in the military you at least knew who was on your side. Here I have no idea. Everyone could be untrustworthy for all I know. I know I have a strong personality, so I'll have to tone it down a bit. In this game you have to utilize your strengths, and exploit others weaknesses. So people might start hating you along the way, but for now who cares, let the war begin."
**Static**
The Strong Badass💪
The girl was seen crossing her arms and looking annoyed. The girl had semi-long hair that reached her shoulders and was dyed a beautiful rainbow color. She had blue eyes, and some thin glasses. She was wearing a grey jacket over a pink t-shirt, had some blue jeans rolled up to her knees, and some black Nike shoes.
"Douchebags are gonna be douchebags. He was the one that challenged me to the game, just so he could set me up. Probably trying to make me look like a fool," She groaned, glaring at the camera, "Really a sucky way to start this experience. But whatever, once this game begins I'll put that jerk in his place! I came to play, and that's what I'm gonna do! The name's Ingrid by the way. Ingrid Ren. Honestly I'm stoked to be here, bruh! Cause once I find my footing in this game, there is no stopping this girl. I am pretty confident I'll do well in all the physical parts of the game. I'm more worried about the social part I guess? I can get a little heated as you just saw. But you know what, no one is stopping me from rising to the top! Especially not some punk!"
End
The camera then panned to another area of the boat. It zoomed in on a short boy who seemed to be exercising. He was doing a set of 10 sit-ups, 10 push-ups, and then 20 sets jumping jacks. Once he was done, he would repeat the exercise set.
A girl could be seen watching him from the side. She had an impressed smile as she saw the pace he was able to go at without getting exhausted. As the boy began his next set of sit-ups, he noticed the girl watching.
"Oh-" The boy pulled his body down after touching his legs.
"Hey you-" The boy quickly pulled himself back up again to touch his legs.
"Must be-" He once again went back down.
"My-" He pulled himself up again touching his legs.
He finally stopped to take a breather, "Man- I feel the burn!"
The girl just giggled a bit, as she stepped forward, "It must have been burning cause that was pretty hot, in an athletic kind of way of course"
The boy discarded the casual flirt, and just hopped up to approach her.
"Oh, hey you must be some of my competition on the show! Nice to meet you, I'm Ryder," the boy, Ryder, offered her his hand.
The girl shook it with a smile, "Esme. What's with the hardcore workout?"
"Just getting prepped. Never know what can be thrown at you!" He said more in an excited tone.
"I guess so...you think the challenges will be dangerous?" Esme then said, sounding nervous.
"I hope so! That would make things really fun and more challenging!" Ryder exclaimed as he began hopping on the balls of his feet.
"Aren't you a brave one?" Esme stated smiling.
"In a competition like this you have to be brave," Ryder answered, "Plus you can't show your fellow competitors your fear"
"True, we really got some competition here from what I seen. What did you come here for?" Esme then asked him, as he then began to continue his workout.
"To win. But aside from that, I kind of want to prove myself I guess," Ryder admitted, "I'm underestimated by a lot of people. Ha, those rascals, I'll show'em!"
Esme nodded liking his enthusiasm, even though she wasn't sure what he meant.
"Underestimated by who?" Esme then asked.
"My family, but don't worry. I WILL show them!" Ryder said, confidently smiling as he stopped just to punch the fist of his right hand into his left palm, "Why are you competing?"
"The experience and winning. Plus our cast doesn't look half bad, no? Hoping I won't leave here single," Esme said with a quick wink.
Ryder, who was now doing push-ups, didn't catch the wink. "Well good luck to you then," Ryder just offered.

The Flirty Guitarist🎸
"Hola! Greetings to those of you watching! I'm Esme Isabella Cruz!" Esme had an almond colored skin tone, light blue eyes, and dark black hair that was kept in two long pigtails. She had a casual pink shirt that had a white collar, and was wearing a black skirt. She then had some black boots on. She also seemed to have applied some red make-up on her lips. "So I work as a Spanish teacher, teaching los niños espanol. Then on the weekends I do guitar lessons. So I'm usually busy ya know. It may be a lot, but I love my jobs! Just watching kids grow and learn...it's inspiring honestly. You get to grow with them, nurture them, and care for them. It's just an enjoyable environment! So I thought after everything I do for other people, why not treat myself and come out here!" She let out an excited squeal. "Not to mention there are some good looking guys here. So let's hope we get the money and a guy! Time to turn on the charm!"
**Static**
The Hyper-active Athlete🏃 ️
The short boy was seen still doing push-ups against the confessionals floors. "Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty! Alright!" Ryder hopped himself off the ground. He was shown to have a short, but muscular build. He had an olive skin tone. He had spikey, messy black hair that stuck up and some bright brown eyes. He was wearing a black jacket that was zipped down to show his orange shirt underneath. He then had some black shorts with some matching black tennis shoes.
"The name's Ryder! If you can't tell I'm an athlete, and when I say athlete I mean I'm a beast at any sport! Soccer, basketball, football, swimming, tennis, golf, you name it! I got it!" He pumped his fist into the air. "Okay beast might not be the right word, but at least trust me when I say I have skills. Coming here is kind of a way to prove to my family that these so-called skills exist. You see I'm usually all over the place and it kind of gets me in trouble. But I'm a good sport, not a troublemaker! I really don't mean to get into half the trouble I end up in. Another thing! Also I know everyone says 'small this' and 'short that', but forget that! I'll prove those stereotypes don't matter one bit, and show I can be just as strong as anyone else. Let's play!"
End
The camera panned to a different area of the boat once again. Now showing a girl who was sitting by herself arranging a deck of cards. She just hummed quietly as she organized the deck. The girl then closed her eyes, trying to arrange the deck with her eyes closed.
She kept doing it until she heard a large, solemn sigh. The girl opened her eyes and noticed a boy had sat down in a seat that was two seats away from her.
When she glanced at him he said, "Please don't mind me. Don't let my misery interrupt your game"
"I'm just arranging cards," The girl informed him.
"Well carry on. Ignore my presence," The boy said with the wave of a hand.
The girl raised an eyebrow as she muttered to herself, "Darn I was hoping not to run into the goth type."
"What's your deal?" The girl then asked him as she tucked her deck of cards away.
"Deal? I have no deal. I have no purpose. No happiness. All I have is my sorrows and misery to accompany me," The boy said, his voice plain and monotone with only slight hints of emotion(that emotion being sadness).
"Well then I have nothing that can help with that," The girl said now sounding uninterested. She was about to turn away, but he started speaking again.
"Of course you won't help me. My problems aren't yours. Their mine to bear. In the end, we're all alone and our only company is our problems," The boy then said sighing.
The girl just stared at him for a while, but decided to ignore him. Although after a little more of constantly hearing him dramatically sigh, she decided to respond.
"You're over exaggerating, but okay. Fine. I'll help you with whatever problems that you have," The girl finally decided, "Although with one condition though. I help you for one condition"
"One condition? Really? You can't just help me, you need some condition" The boy now looked rather annoyed.
"Well you said it best. We're all alone in this world, so we have to look out for ourselves. What's the point in helping you if I get nothing out of it," The girl smirked as she began tapping her fingers on her knee.
"That's selfish, but I guess that was already my standards for the people of the world" He scoffed.
The girl just leaned forward in her chair, resting her chin on her fist with her arm on her knee.
"I don't care what your standards are. I already offered my piece, it's deal or no deal" She replied casually.
"It's no deal then," He answered.
"Figured as much," She smiled as she brought out her cards again.

The Sad Backstory😭
The boy that sat in the confessional had platinum blonde hair. It was unkempt and long, one lock of his hair falling in front of his left eye. He had blue eyes, but they were dull enough to look grey. He was just wearing a dark purple hoodie and he had some black pants. He then just had some dark purple shoes. The boy also had fair skin and was a regular height for his age.
"Why did I decide to come here..I..really don't know. I'm regretting it already. I was surprised they even accepted me. Me of all people. Well now that I'm here..I guess I'll try and win? I doubt I will. Can you imagine someone like me making it far?" He let out a dry laugh, "Oh ya my name. I forgot to tell you my name. Well does it matter to you? If I told you or didn't tell you it wouldn't make a difference. I'll most likely be the first boot. But if you want to know, my name is Gavin. Um, so can I leave now? Like I really don't have anything else to say...okay bye"
**Static**
The Street-Smart Card Player🃏
The girl could still be seen playing with her cards inside the confessionals, humming softly. She had a tan skin tone, and some bright green eyes. She had short, wavy, dark brown hair that was mostly covered by a dark blue fedora. Matching her dark blue fedora, she wore a dark blue coat dress. Her outfit was complete with some black boots.
The girl didn't look up from her cards as she spoke, "Well hello there. I'm Cecilla Vernez. But I'm known mostly as Cece. I'm just your typical card player, in a not so typical game. A game that requires lying, manipulation, and backstabbing. Managing different personalities and making sure things go your way. Oh wait? I do that on a daily basis," She smiled a bit. "As a card player, poker player, gambler, I have to make sure every move is made correctly. One slip up and you're out. So this should just be like one big card game. And if I play my cards right, I win. Watch this," Cece said as she closed her eyes and then pulled a card from her deck. She then opened her eyes and turned the card over. It was a joker card. "Look, it's a joker. It's what I think of my competition, they're just a joke. Clowns. So by the time this is over, they won't know what hit them."
End
Once again the scene changed. Now it showed two boys. One of them was shorter, and a little chubby. The other boy was more lean, and slightly tall. The taller boy was watching as the shorter boy was playing a game on a Nintendo switch.
"Animal Crossing: New Horizons! Man, this game is the closest thing I'm ever getting to going outdoors," The chubbier boy stated, "Well other than this competition show of course. Too bad the animals on the island won't be as cool as the animals in this game. Imagine walking on 4 legs, hah evolution has done you wrong!"
"Trust me, bro. The outdoors has its own vibe to it. You'll like it," The taller boy assured him.
"From my experiences in Minecraft," The chubbier boy stated, "I think not. Although I did learn creepers aren't a real species, so that does make me feel a little better."
"Dude, you thought creepers were real?" The taller boy then asked, looking slightly concerned.
"I'm only kidding," The chubbier boy said rolling his eyes and laughing, "Trust me if creepers were real I would have gotten a real job as a coal miner. For now, my job as an unemployed gamer seems just fitting."
"Wish I brought my switch, could have joined you. Although I did bring my headset. Couldn't give up my music, bro" The taller dude said as he showed his wireless headset.
"Nice! you think they'll let us keep our stuff though?" The chubbier boy then asked.
"..depends really. Hey what music do you like?" The taller boy then asked him.
The chubbier boy chuckled awkwardly, "I'm kind of one of those guys that when your friend says 'what type of music do you like?' And you reply 'it's complicated'. "
The taller boy nodded, and just pulled out a small device that he used to search through a list of songs.
After finding a song, he nodded content with the result as he handed the other boy his headset, "I got you, dude."
The chubbier put the headset on his ears. He began slowly bobbing his head up and down, as the music came on. He began to tap his feet as he was slowly taking a liking to the music.
"Brooo!" the chubbier boy just said the only word he could think of to describe the music.
"Bro," the taller boy just agreed, giving a thumbs up.

The Epic Gamer🎮
The boy sitting in the confessionals was the chubbier boy. He wasn't large enough to be considered fat, but he was a little chubby as said. He had a fair skin tone, and some short, neatly kept black hair. He had brown eyes and some thin glasses. He was wearing a short-sleeved, green shirt and some jeans pants. He also had a black watch on his hand that had a Pokémon design on it.
"Epic gamer moment! I got onto the show! I actually got in! Yes!" The boy cheered excitedly, "What up y'all, it's your boy Gabriel Lee! Most of you know me: youtuber, gamer, and blogger extraordinaire! And if you don't know me, which please then go watch one of my videos then. I got some quality content. Skits, mostly gaming videos, a few blogs. I actually have 2 channels now, one is for gaming while the other is for blogging. If you want to follow me on social media my accounts are- Oh wait, sorry getting off topic, ya so why am I here? Good question, why would I put myself through this? Well I wouldn't. My friends signed me up, so here I am. Honestly the outdoors are like a level of a game that you never want to be on, hence why most of my outside experience is no outdoor experience at all. But this show is a game after all, so I might as well conquer this game like I do all others! So wish me luck! Gabe signing off!"
**Static**
The Bro's Bro✌
The taller boy now sat in the confessionals. He wore a red button up shirt with some red headphones hanging around his neck. He had fresh, short black curly hair and some light brown eyes. The boy was pretty skinny and tall, and he had caramel colored skin tone. He was wearing some jeans, and some white, red, and blue designer shoes.
"Sup, name's Stefan," the boy, Stefan, said with a simple salute using two fingers. "Coming out here I just plan on enjoying myself. Make some friends. Relax on the beach. Just hanging with bros, ya-know. I wouldn't say I need the money necessarily for myself, but my family could use the money. We're not the richest, but I wouldn't say we're poor though, kind of just hanging in between. So we wouldn't mind some dough. About me, I'm a musician, bruh. I work on my own music, which I sing and rap occasionally. It's a fun gig that has to do with talent, passion, and creativity. Lets hope I can find the rhythm to this game as quickly as I do to my music"
End
The scene switched back to show Daisy at the front of the boat still looking over the rails. She noticed they were still a good while away from the island, but could see only a bit of it in the distance.
She was leaning forward to try and see the island more clearly, when Daisy then heard someone come and stand next to her.
"Oh hi?" Daisy said as she turned to face a female.
"You're blocking my view hun, move over," The girl just responded as she slightly shoved Daisy to the side.
"Oh sorry?" Daisy said as she backed up a bit. She just watched as the girl took her place on the rails and began looking out across the sea.
"Nice boat, huh?" Daisy said to make for conversation.
"My dad has 12 like this heap, he gave me one for Christmas" The girl said indifferently about Daisy's comment. Daisy just looked surprised, "Oh?"
The girl then turned to Daisy as she brought out her phone, "Dang I should look good in this angle, mind taking me a picture"
"Sure, I'm Daisy by the way," Daisy said as she took the phone and moved back to get a better view.
"Basic name, but it fits a girl like you," The girl replied as she took up a model pose. She didn't say the statement maliciously, but more casually as if it was a normal thing to say.
"Um thanks I guess? A little rude though.." Daisy muttered the last part as she began taking the photos, "and your name?"
"Serenna, but it has 2 N's, so don't get it wrong" the girl stated as she took up another pose by the rails, "also aren't you an actress?"
"I am! Have you seen me?!" Daisy asked curiously as she smiled.
"Yup. Sadly I have. That was too unrealistic for my liking-taste, girl that show just wasn't for me" Serenna stated, "Luckily this show is though."

Confessionals
The Un-spoiled Brat💅
The girl sitting in the confessional had a dark skin tone, and her black hair was in a half undone box braid style. She was wearing red lipstick which matched her short, sleeveless red tank top. She had some jean shorts and was wearing some red flats. The girl also had her nails done, them being a light blue shade, while also having shining diamond earrings.
"Hello, I'm Serenna! With 2 N's, so yall better be spelling it right. Can't stand those people who comment things on social media, but get the name wrong. Like really, it's one job, get it done, capeesh?" She crossed her arms.
"So before you guys start thinking anything about me I'm gonna stop y'all there. So yes I'm rich. My dad owns a large bank company, so making money comes natural for my family. So technically I don't need the money, but then again it's not my money. That money is given to me with no cost. I was born into this situation! I didn't choose the luxurious life, the luxurious life chose me! I want to make my own money and start my own living, not depend on my rich heritage. Plus I want to win something on my own, without my parents thinking I need some sort of help. I'm not like those other rich girls who expect everything to be done for them or have everything handed to them. I honestly despise that life. I know you put in the work to get the results and in this game that's what I plan to do. I do speak my mind, so If I get a little rude, just know that's me." She then smiled, "I know how to take what I want, so in this game I hope it won't be no different"
End
The scene once again changed. This time it showed a boy who was large and tall as he walked through the halls of the boat. He seemed to be walking slow and taking in the different areas of the boat.
"From my deduction, this boat is made from a mix of steel and aluminum" He said, his voice sounding monotone and plain. Completely factual.
Finally he came across a short girl who was just sitting by herself. The boy then stopped and just stood and stared at her from a moment. The girl didn't seem to notice him at first, but afterwards she turned to see him staring.
She then turned her head feeling uncomfortable with him still staring, as she awkwardly tried to look away. The boy then finally approached her.
"Oh I see I found some other people, sorry I was just observing you for later memory. I would like to make a greeting to you," the boy said as he stood uncomfortably close to the girl. "I am Kelvin. That is my name. Do you have a name you would like me to identify you by?"
The girl nervously scooted away, before turning to look at the boy. She hesitantly said in a quiet tone, "Oh I'm..Charlotte..."
"Charlotte. Charlotte is a pellicular name. Where did you receive it?" Kelvin then asked her, putting a hand to his chin. Charlotte stared at him with a mix of confusion and nervousness.
"Um well..my parents I guess..?" Charlotte answered him. She nervously scratched her hair and gave him a meek awkward smile.
"Oh. Parents. That is normal. You are fortunate," Kelvin just said with a simple slow nod.
"Um..thanks.." Charlotte just seemed weirded out now by his comment. She slowly began to get up.
"We will see each other later I will assume," Kelvin said, his gaze staying glued to her as she moved.
"Um..I guess so," Charlotte replied, now seeming completely weirded out. The shy girl muttered something to herself as she nervously rubbed her arm.
"Excellent. Report: I am now leaving from your presence," Kelvin then began to walk backwards as he was exiting the area, he still was looking straight at Charlotte.
Charlotte just watched him leave with a face of confusion and nervousness. Once he was gone she let out a breath of relief.
"ugh, Weirdo," She blurted out as she then sat back down.

The Shady Shy Girl
The same small, shy girl sat in the confessionals. She had short, wavy strawberry blonde hair that just reached her shoulder, and had fair skin. She had light blue eyes, and was wearing a plain white shirt with a picture of a kitty on it, and then she had some light blue shorts. She also had some colorful bracelets around her left arm.
"Ew, that guy was weird...looked like a child molester with a worm for a face. Can't wait to vote him off," The girl muttered looking down. The girl then turned to the camera. "Hi... I'm Charlotte. I live with my parents and..I work at a library helping organizing books...I love to draw..I usually draw kittens or sometimes paint the environment." The girl smiled a bit, before her face changed into a scoff. "Most people tend to mistake my shyness...as kindness. Do these freak strangers really expect me to show them kindness? I think people expect me to be a small innocent, little shy girl. Honestly, I don't even need to know half their names here, I'm gonna vote them out anyways. I came here to play for one person...me. So yes I may be small. Quiet. Invisible.." After the last word she paused for a moment, glancing down. The word seemed to make her sad for a moment. She then glanced back up at the camera, her eyes now filled with more spite, "I'm always invisible by the way. Even back at home. People only notice me when they want to be mean or have someone to laugh at. So yes I may be invisible, but also know I'll be the most ruthless player there is. So if they're not scared now...They will be later."

The Alien-Like Experimentee👽
The boy sitting in the confessional was large and tall. He could be considered to be a little fat, and he had an almost bald head with only a scarce amount of locks of black hair. He was wearing all light blue colored clothing: a plain t-shirt, some pants, even his flip flop shoes. Although he did also have some shades on which didn't allow for his eyes to be seen.
"Well I assume this is my introductory statement to the viewers. Hello people who are watching this platform. I am Kelvin, participant of the V.O.I.D program. V.O.I.D stands for Verified Optimum Individual Detention. I have been a part of the program all my life. It is where THEY kept me and advanced my growth. There I have learned many intriguing things. I have never gained knowledge on my parents, so it is unfortunate I know none of my past. Although THEY taught me the past does not matter as much as the future. Coming here, THEY have finally released me. THEY wanted to see how an experimentee would do in the world. As this game is a social experiment of sorts, as well as a competition. THEY thought analyzing my performance on this would bring the most beneficial data. I am hoping I make THEY proud as well as I am very excited to get a chance to explore society. This will be a stimulating experience, so I hope it goes well."
End
The scene once again changed to another place on the boat. Esme could be seen again but this time with another guy. The guy seemed to be telling some jokes, which from the slight cringes from Esme's face it could be assumed they weren't good.
"..and then I said. What do you call a cow with no legs?! Ground Beef!" The boy laughed like he had said the funniest thing in the world. Esme just let out an awkward chuckle as she muttered quietly, "I should have stayed with Ryder.."
"Get it! Cause ground beef is the food you eat, and cows are used to make beef and the cow is on the ground-" the boy tried to explain the joke, but Esme gave him a nod.
"Yea I got that joke. So you said your name was Carter right?" Esme then asked him.
"That's me! Your great source of comedy and fun!" the boy, Carter, grinned widely, "What about you? You got a gig?"
"I play guitar-" Esme began, but Carter kept on talking "On that NOTE, why don't you play something for me. Get it! Cause guitars play notes!"
Esme once again let out a forced chuckle, "I appreciate the jokes, but maybe you should..put a pause on them. Trust me, you're a lot cuter without them."
"Pssh! I never stop joking. If life is gonna be a joke, might as well make it funny" Carter stated, playful rolling his eyes.
"Which is funny cause none of that was funny at all. You're the only one laughing for a reason, just saying"
Esme and Carter turned after hearing the statement to see Balaam walk by.
"Want to see a joke. Look in the mirror," Balaam just said as he turned to offer them a smile, before going on his way.
There was some awkward silence for a moment. Esme just looked at her hands awkwardly, while Carter just stood still smiling, but it was obvious he was kind of embarrassed.
"Nah, I was funny. He didn't see you almost laughing your guts out," Carter finally said as he turned to Esme. Esme hesitantly nodded out of sympathy.
"You were hilarious Carter... Ten out of ten, would laugh again," Esme said trying her best to sound supportive as she patted him on the shoulder.
"Wanna hear another one?"
"Um actually I wanted to check out the other people on the boat, but you can tell me later!"
"K, whatever floats your boat! Get it we're on a boat and we're float-"
Before he finished, Esme zoomed off in another direction of the boat.
"Okay? Um you ran more like a speedboat than a float boat, but um bye I guess!" Carter just said as he just watched her leave. "Man these people can't handle comedy"
Carter sighed as he began looking through his luggage of items he had brought. Finally brought out some multi-colored balls.
Carter then climbed onto the ledge of the boat as he attempted to balance. He almost slipped. Twice. Finally, gaining his balance he attempted to juggle, but the balls just instead went flying everywhere. As he attempted to grab the balls he slipped off the rail, heading to water below. Although he did at least manage to grab one ball.
"Aaahhhhh!" Carter yelled dramatically, but stopped as he noticed he wasn't falling. He looked up to see another boy holding the back of his shirt. He was dangling in mid air.
"Oh? You saved me?" Carter noted, "I assume you saw my ballsy move. Get it-"
"No, you need to be more careful. That was dangerous," The boy just said as he heaved Carter back on board.
"Dangerous? Well what can I say, I have the BALLS to do that kind of thing" Carter just said, as he smirked and held out the one ball he had caught.
"That wasn't funny...kind of sounded like a dad joke. Just be more careful for now on" The boy said crossing his arms.
"Sounds like a dad joke? Says the one acting like a dad," Carter pointed out.
"Says the one acting like a child," The boy shot back, "Look I'm trying to keep you safe. So calm down"
"Calm down? You should light up! We're on TV!" Carter just exclaimed.
"We're on TV, so please don't make a fool of yourself. Also work on your jokes, they could be funny, but they need some work" The boy said as he turned and left.
Carter just watched him leave yelling, "You know it was funny! You know you want to laugh!"

Confessionals
The Loving Protector
The boy that had just saved Carter sat in the confessionals now. He had fair skin, brown eyes, and some curly, short brown hair. He was average height, although a little on the tall side. He was wearing a green vest sweater over a red dress shirt. He then had some tannish/brownish pants and some brown shoes. The boy had a watch on his hand and some glasses in his pocket.
"Hello, I'm Howard. Although I go by Howie. I work as a physiologist and part-time therapist, or at least that's the field I'm planning to go into. I'm a student though. I was valedictorian at my high school as well as leader of the debate club. I liked to talk about topics that concerned the world, cause I do support things like equality, peace, and rights. I like to fight for the safety of all because we're all living here, might as well make it safe for all of us," Howie had a slight smile. "So why am I here? Well I was hoping to show that you don't have to backstab, lie, and manipulate to win. I know most villains usually farewell on these types of shows because lying, backstabbing, and manipulating is the name of the game. Although I hope to show there is still a noble way to play and win. Some people at my school think I'm a buzzkill and I'm boring. I think they're wrong, nothing is wrong with me valuing safety and striving to be kind. Plus I heard I give really good hugs. So let's hope for the best, that I do well"
**Static**
The Annoying Jokester😜
The boy in the confessionals could be seen wearing a purple and yellow jester outfit. Although he had long blonde hair, so his hair could still be seen sticking out from under the jester hat. He also had sky blue eyes, and some dimples so his smile was cute.
"Glad to meet you! I'm Carter! You guys are so lucky I'm here cause I'm gonna crack you up all season long! I'm here for the good times and the comedy! I did also come for the money, though. The comedy field is a risky business. You're either funny or you're not. Clearly I am funny. I mean who doesn't mind a good dad joke. I find them EGG-cellent, cause they always CRACK me up. And if you don't laugh then the YOKES on you!" Carter was now laughing at his own joke, and literally fell to the ground. As he got up, he was struggling to catch his breath. "Oh..that was a good one. So I promise to bring you a good time. And if you don't laugh you have no soul!"
End
The scene switched one last time. This time showing a girl with glasses approaching a girl who was standing by herself writing in a notebook.
The girl who was standing by herself writing in a notebook was also talking out loud to herself, "And so I stood. Embarking on my journey to win lots of money-" The girl seemed to be reading what she was writing out loud. She stopped to erase something, before she kept writing once again, "And so I stood, lonesome yet excited. My excitement felt like a caged animal ready to fly, no, burst free embarking on this journey to win lots of money"
The girl with glasses just stopped in front of her confused on what she was doing. "You're talking to yourself," The girl with glasses finally informed the girl.
The girl glanced up at the girl with glasses, before looking back down at her notebook.
She just began jotting things down again and talking outloud, "I noticed a girl approach me. She had midnight black hair, and was kind of small like a rabbit. No more like a cat. She wasn't of course the size of a cat, but she was shorter than me. She seems smart and intelligent just based off of looks, but considering she thought I was talking to myself I might be wrong about that"
The girl with the glasses raised an eyebrow, "I would like to believe so, that I am smart and intelligent. Also you are indeed talking to yourself, which I believe isn't the best course of social interaction. The last thing you want to do is make your fellow competitors believe you're crazy. It's an easy way to be voted off or have your competitors not take you seriously. Although that isn't in my interest anyways. I'm Erin, nice to meet you"
"Sorry about that-" The girl finally looked up from her notebook, and put it away embarrassed. "I have a bad habit of getting lost and caught up in my writing"
"It's fine. So you like writing?" Erin asked, sounding interested even though she still had the same plain look on her face.
"It's my whole passion in life, I plan on being an author one day. My notebook was actually a gift, so it's really important to me. Oh, and my name is Ashley by the way" The girl said, giving a smile of greeting.
"Nice to meet you Ashley. So you plan on winning this competition? Or I would at least assume that would be your end goal," Erin then stated.
"I mean well...ya, but I guess that's what most of us came here for. I came on this show for the adventure and thrill, and winning would be kind of a bonus. I would make for a good story," Ashley admitted.
Erin just nodded as if she was processing the information and thinking of something.
Ashley just stared at her, waiting for her to say something.
"So...?" Ashley said after a while of just silence. Erin still was thinking, but eventually finally looked up at Ashley to speak.
"Well obviously my goal isn't completely aligned with yours, as I am hoping to win this myself. Although maybe we can both benefit from starting an allegiance right now," Erin explained looking at Ashley.
"Allegiance?" Ashley questioned.
"An alliance. Creating alliances in the game early on definitely seems to contribute to a factor of people's success in this game. Working together we can at least make sure we both move forward in the game," Erin told her while having a slight smile.
Ashley seemed to hesitate as she considered it.
"I don't know.." Ashley admitted.
The slight smile on Erin's face then became a slight frown, "Not trying to force you to agree, but to deny an alliance on any kind of competition platform is kind of a mindless move."
"Give me one moment," Ashley turned around and brought out her notebook once again. She began writing in her notebook, "So I was just offered an alliance. It's a tempting offer and seems like a good deal. But how do I know I can trust this girl? The thing is I don't. I don't want to have to be loyal to someone that I hardly know. Although I don't want to seem rude, so what should I say-"
"I can still hear you," Erin reminded her. "But it is fine. I will decline the offer, but just know
it is open if you change your mind"
Ashley hesitantly nodded, as Erin then turned to leave.

Confessionals
The Narrator✍
The girl sat in the confessionals looking at the camera with a nervous, but excited smile. She had long brown hair, which was tied back in a ponytail. She was just wearing a red jacket over a plain white shirt, and she had some blue jeans pants. She then just had some brown boots.
"Hello! I'm Ashley. Welcome to my life or well..not really. This is a TV show, so of course it's not actually my life. But it's reality TV, so at least you see the real me though. Sometimes I wish I was a TV show character though. I always wondered..would I be a main character...or just someone in the background..." She paused as she seemed to drift off into thought. She then refocused, "This is probably gonna be more interesting than my life anyways. I'm a writer, so I have written multiple stories. None have been published yet though. Although the most difficult story I have written is my own. This notebook is basically an autobiography I have started writing in it since I was 6, all about my life. You can really see the development in my writing as I age. Although, for however long I had been writing about me and myself...I still can't find who I am. I was hoping in this game that maybe I could find me. There is so many routes and choices, I was hoping I could find myself here...I guess on this journey I just have to let this story write itself"

The Calculated Reality TV Fanatic 📺
The girl sitting in the confessionals was a small girl with some glasses and had fair skin. She had neatly kept black, short hair that reached her shoulders. She was wearing a dark blue formal jacket that looked like a school uniform with a black skirt. She had black flats and dark blue stocking leggings.
"Hello, I'm Erin Wynn. Of course I am so delighted to he here! I have been a reality TV fan since I was a child. I have watched almost every thing from the Bachelor to Survivor to the Amazing Race to The Challenge to Are You the One to Big Brother to Ex on the Beach. I have very little knowledge on actual social interaction, since I wasn't very popular or liked in school. Although I learned a lot about social interaction from these reality shows. Not to mention all the aspects of strategy needed to succeed in this game. If this is anything like Total Drama then the players will be so easy to manipulate. The show only had 2 or 3 players that were actual playing the strategic game and actively influencing the game in their favor, other then that the votes had nothing to do with actual strategy. I do except to be there at the end of the game, if not then at least except to see me in the merge. I'm actually really excited, I was born to play this"
End
"We're here!" Serenna yelled as she could finally see the island. It was finally in close enough range.
"Wow, it's huge" Daisy noted as she stood by Serenna's side.
Ryder came jogging up to also see the view, "Little boy coming through!"
He then flipped onto the rails, as he could see the island, "Woah! I can get used to this place!"
"Don't get too used it, never know when you'll be out," Balaam said, as he came running up also joining the group. They all we're staring at the island as the boat was edging closer.
"Woah-" Ryder almost slipped off the rails, cause he stepped on the bird poop on the rails from earlier. Although he had regained his balance.
"Don't hurt yourself, cause I'm no doctor," Serenna grabbed Ryder off the rails. "Hey! Put me down!" Ryder just screamed as he tried to frail out of her arms. "I just stopping you from falling, calm yourself!" Serenna just said and shoved him into Daisy's arms cause she could carry him no longer.
Although Daisy wasn't able to carry him, causing them to fall over.
"Hey! Don't carry me, I can handle myself!" Ryder just yelled giving Serenna a look, while Daisy just said "Um..could you get off of me please?"
"Ha! What are we the Sims? People are already making out, check it out" Gabe laughed as he was walking over with Stefan pointing at Daisy and Ryder.
"Am not! I don't even know this girl!" Ryder said as he got off of Daisy, also helping her up. Daisy just dusted herself off as she backed away from the group.
"Didn't look like that to me," Balaam said shrugging as he smirked.
"You saw it! The other girl picked me up, which that's pretty strong by the way, then made me fall on her" Ryder explained as he jumped around trying to act out the scene.
"Fall on her or fall for her?" Gabe teased smirking, pretending to be confused.
As Gabe and Balaam kept on teasing Ryder, Stefan left from Gabe's side to go check out the view for himself, while Daisy just stood with a look of embarrassment.
"Boys. Typical, am I right?" A voice behind Daisy said. Daisy turned to see Cece who was just playing with her deck of cards as she had also came to the front of the boat.
Daisy shrugged not sure how to respond, "It sure is getting crowded up here."
Soon everyone else was making their way to the front of the boat as well.
"This is where everyone was going. I see social interactions are occurring," Kelvin said as he arrived.
He was followed by Esme who just said, "Here you guys are. I was thinking you all were hiding from me for a moment."
Esme was followed by Ingrid who stated, "Man it's crowd. I'm just trying to see the island, so some people move over!"
Ingrid was followed by Howie who just said, "Huh. There's a lot of people up here. Everyone should be careful when near the rails by the way"
Soon everyone had come, the last being Charlotte and Gavin.
As the boat finally had landed by the beach, Ingrid who had made her way to the front of the rails turned to everyone and yelled "Guys! Shut it! We've finally arrived!"
Her voice had silenced everyone, except from Balaam who just said, "We've noticed."
Ingrid rolled her eyes at him, as she once again looked over the rails.
Meanwhile, on the beach Caleb turned to Michigan, "They're a lively bunch."
"I like them already," Michigan admitted.
"Me too Mich. Me too. Lets bring them out of the boat" Caleb decided.
"I hope they're ready to play. Cause the game starts now" Michigan said as she leaned a hand on her hip.
