Thoad saw Cenere step down, and gave an appreciative smile to Cenere. He didn't exactly expect Cen to say more than a sentence or two, so he wasn't dissapointed. After he saw Cen blend back into the blob of 10 or so passengers, he noticed something. There was only 9 of them.
He then heard a sploosh. "OKAY WHO WAS THAT." Thoad screamed, startled. The crowd mumbled a bit and Ulimitedpower, the astronomical navigational panda stepped forth and said that ThePossum had fallen into the water! (OOC: This excuses possum from this round).
Thoad sighed and stepped up to the podium, with a sleepy look in his eye. He expected a little more from everyone, but apparently they intended not to speak to each other for m ost of the trip. "Lemme tell you guys 1 thing, and then you will never have to listen to me again," Thoad said, a serious tone in this voice. "We must all work as a well oiled machine a great force to be reckoned with. We must be able to look to our crewmates, shake hands, and laugh about how we got mad at each other about getting our telescopes taken away," Thoad referenced to his upset navigator.
"But, please, let me tell you about myself, so that you get to know me a little," Thoad pulled out a huge book, at least 6,000 pages, and opened the hard cover. The spine read: "The Memoirs of Thoadthetoad". Upon seeing this, some of the users moaned a little.
But Thoad was cut short. He sensed a great disturbance in the farce. Something was calling him. A whisper in the ear, that he couldn't quite make out. He was entranced by the feeling, when a shiver went up his spine. The blob on his ship stood in awe of something, but for the life of him thoad couldn't think what.
"Oh yeah, I wrote a book! Did I forget to mention that?" Thoad said, thinking that's what they were so astonished of. But then, the only girl on board the A.G.S. Explore, except for maybe our slightly indrogenous (sp?) moderator, Cenere, stepped forth. Moonfairy, the well-figured lunar fairy pointed up at the sky.
Thoad looked behind him, and saw a huge black cloud, with a bright center. It looked as if it was a smoke-like god with a single eye. It was tremendous. It was a Cumulo Nimbus, one of the biggest darn clouds nature could throw out of it's hideous maws.
Thoad started barking out orders but was too late, the crew was already doing what they were supposed to do. Except for Ulimited panda, Cenere, and Bueno. Though Bueno was urgently trying to do something. He was just too tiny to actually help much, save for moral support and being adorable. Cenere was talking to himself, having a blank stare at Thoad, saying how this was probably the most stupid decision he has ever made and that we were all going to die. Ulimited panda was desperatley trying to find a star so he could say where to go.
By the time they were going to go away from the storm, it hit them with terrible rapids. Lighting and wind, with some form of wooden shrapnel somehow stuck in it, tore the sails. We were now without any way of wind transportation. After the sails were shot, we quickly began trying to stay afloat and alive. Luckily there didn't seem to be any form of wildlife in the water.
Then, Thoad was mysteriously knocked out. It was likely a golf-ball sized rock going in the monstrous wind. Thoad woke up for blips before evidently fainting or being knocked out again. In those blips, he noticed land, and several snake like creatures in the water.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time in the water, thoad was washed ashore with his fellow crewmates standing above him. He saw Cen to his left, and decided to make a witty remark. "What? No hug?". Cen didn't reply. People began looking for shipwreck stuff. Things that might be used for whatever. They were on a strange island and didn't know what to do about it.
Thoad was still a little dazed but heard some commotion from the gunslingers of the crew. "What the f--- do you mean there's no bullets? How are we going to survive without bullets? That's impossible! Impossible!" the unknown gunslinger yelled to another crewmate.
Thoad looked around, "Where's samy?" he asked to everyone. He didn't appear to be anywhere. Thoad feared the worst... it was a sad idea, that Samy, a crewmember, died. Thoad thought for a moment and shed a single tear. "Not even a week on sea and we've lost a crew-member... does that make me a bad captain?"
The green-clad boy looked at the surroundings. It was a tiny shore with rocks on both sides, and the A.G.S. Explore was tipped over. People were using their hands and their bludgeons in order to break through the ship's hull so they could see if their stuff was inside. The area around the shore was dead. It looked as if it was fire-bombed. It was just rock and sand. A little ways ahead he could make out some palm trees and coastal flora, but the other side held fire, and more rock. It was likely that there was a volcano on the island.
He remembered his training with strop, and the way of moderation he participated in a while ago (OOC: Keep in mind that this does take place AFTER the WoM). He had to act mature, be like a mod. He had a chance to get there, but he had to start somewhere.
"Alright crew! First thing's first, let's buckle down and wait for some more supplies. We'll make a temporary outpost here on this unnamed space and call it the new Armorgames Outpost. Or, if you want it abreviated. A.G.O.," Thoad yelled at the rest of the members.
KingRyan spoke up against the green-clad boy. "Hay wait a minnut thoad! Our main priority is to get off the island! Now back when AG was a beta, they would have gotten off if they were ill-equipped!" KR critisized thoad. Thoad looked KR in the eye with daggers.
"I'm captain of this ship, KR. I think it would be best if we stayed here." Thoad was obviously angered by this, and power tripping a little. But he cooled down after a moment. "Okay, fine. KR, if you want to go and find a way off the island, go ahead. But I'm staying here with my crew."
KR scowled, and began to get outraged. "Thoad! I have been here since the beta and I know that with my wisdom I can lead this crew to great things!" Kr yelled. Thoad noticed some of the crew members moving towards KingRyan's side of the argument. They walked beside him. "I am getting off this freaking island, whether you like it or not!"
"Fine, you go get off the island in some un-named way! You'll die in minutes. Who knows what dangers the internet has for you out there? It could be infested with trolls!" Thoad yelled back.
"Or it could have fellow gamers, willing to get us back home!" KingRyan yelled back. "You do what you want, but me and whoever wants to come with me, will follow me to our salvation!"
Suddenly Cenere chimed in, "Cool, my hardcover copy of 'Lord of the Flies' survived the shipwreck."
Ignoring that, Thoad stormed off in the other direction, dragging a confused cenere by the wrist with him.

OKAY. This is a part 1 for this round. Sorry that it's so long everyone. There will be another part that will also have an entry to it, but this one is needed.
What you need to do
I need you guys to split up into even teams (this is out of character) and decide who wants to go with who. By default, Thoad is kidnapping Cenere to go with him. I want it to be devided evenly. Samy is not dead, but is taken out of the OCT until further cameo.
Essentially, this is what you are to do.
A: You can go with KingRyan (who is soopud, and old) to find help (or harm) in order to get off the island you are currently shipwrecked on,
or B: You can go with thoad and buckle down, and then go and find help or harm.
IF YOU CHOOSE A: Then you love old people (just kidding).
No really, you must write your entry based upon why you made the judgement and what you do with KR, like, do you make suggestions as to what direction you go (cannot be in same direction as thoad. Bad things happen), or what to do if you come upon bad forces. Remember, we lost bullets. If you use a weapon, better hope it's melee or it is magic.
IF YOU CHOSE B: Then you are awesome.
But seriously, just do what you would do with KR, only with thoad.
Remember that thoad is a quirky weird guy who is slightly perverted. But can probably also be more strategically better than KR. But is not as mature or wise. (He was also not there since beta)
A side note: In order to balance the teams, a new person will be met next round for whichever team is imbalanced. One team is allowed to have 4 crew members while the other has 5. I will make an in-game character to balance this.
You see why I am having trouble getting this monster out?
BTW, kingryan I will give you briefing as to what you are supposed to do through e-mail.
