[Blade Master Model 42]

You awake to the taste of salt in your mouth, and wet sand beneath you. A small wave comes in, up to your knees in your prone position. Your entire body hurts. You hear the distinctive sounds of the seaside.

Let's get some things straight.

What gender are you?
What is your name?
What were you doing before you were shipwrecked?

Spoiler: Awareness (click to show/hide)

You are sore.

Floating in the middle of the ocean? That really doesn't make much sense.

"Hey guys, give me a second, I want to go swimming in the MIDDLE of the pacific for a few minutes, 'kay?"

You stand up out out of the surf and walk a couple of feet inland. Your head swims a bit at the effort, but you're beginning to get a bit more lucid as time goes by. Awareness up! Your name is Jeremy, and you were out on the ocean, doing some deep-sea fishing, and you were on your way home.

That is, until a terrible storm capsized the boat. Everyone aboard was forced to abandon the ship, and you drifted for more than a day on open water, clinging to a life preserver. Your memories blank out after that, and here you are.

There's about 30, maybe 40 feet of open beach. After that, trees start to pop up before a fully fledged forest comes into being further inland. You consider what to do next, and check your pockets to see if anything made it with you. You're shoeless, and your pants are tattered.



What will you do next? What small item do you have in your pocket?

You are sore.
You are thirsty.
You are hungry.

Whee, my second suggestion game. Already going better than the first, too! My art skills should improve as this goes along, especially considering that was my secondary motivation for starting this.

You have a multitool in your pocket. Check the beach for debris from your (or other) shipwreck.

You have a ring in your pocket.

Make some temporary foot wraps from palm leaves.

Aren't they, like, the exact same thing?

But +1

[Blade Master Model 42]

You have a multitool in your pocket. Check the beach for debris from your (or other) shipwreck.

You pull a small multitool from your pocket. It's wet, but seems to be more or less in good condition. It has a straight edge knife, a serrated edge knife, a very small pair of scissors, a file, and a small phillips head screwdriver. You suspect some functions will be more useful than others.

You also have a gold band ring given to you by your father. You slip it onto your finger, wondering what it was doing in your pocket.

You take a look up and down the beach. Clean sand and the occasional seashell are all you see. You struggle to reason this out. If you got here by the current alone, anything else that floated off the boat should be in the area. You think.

You consider making some foot wraps from palm leaves, but you have nothing to tie them with right now, and the thought of climbing up to get fresh leaves makes you dizzy.

Check ye pockets and body for wounds and time of day if possible.

You take a look into the sky. You aren't exactly sure where the sun should be to determine the time... But it's not directly overhead, so that rules out noon. Your gut instincts suggest it's morning, but your body isn't exactly in great shape to be telling you what to do.

You inspect your body for wounds. Aside from general achiness, you seem to be fine. At least, on the exterior. No telling what condition you're in on the inside. You're not noticing any sharp pains when you move- rather a dull throb all over. That's a good sign, right?

What next? Brave a palm tree for leaves? Wander along the beach? Something else?

You are thirsty.
You are hungry.
It might be before noon.

A gold ring. It doesn't do anything.

Wander along the beach. See if you can see other land in the distance; perhaps you're near the coast of some mainland, or even another island. Try not to go more than 200 meters away from your initial landing point.
