Escape from Zombie Park Island

[Zanreo]

I ... pretend I've never heard of it ... (I'll... pretend I didn't hear that for now...) Google Translate responds.

A while later..."It took a while ... thought it was bedtime. "(It's getting kinda late... guess it's time to go to bed.) she says as she leaves for her dorm.

[TenOfSwords13]

Ah heck I was asleep through all thiis... and now people are going to sleep.
Thrivey turns up from... somewhere? Ah, so this is where everyone else is... sorry for my lateness. Did I miss anything particularly important? All I remember is finding this flyer for some sort of job, and then I was here.

[PointMaid]

Dr. Frankie set out a breakfast buffet. It included a few items from the luau that weren't used. She takes an orange juice, scrambled eggs, and hash browns. (Or is that a mimosa? And the eggs don't quite look like chicken eggs, which, given what kind of place this is...)

Got to keep you healthy for a day of work on the Island! Explore if you want to, but I'll explain today's work item at around 12:00 Eastern. You'll have plenty of time to do it.

Don't worry, Thrivey. It was just a welcome luau.

[artsyGeek]

[Percy was the first to wake up - excluding Dr. Frankie and Thrivey, of course.] "Good morning, folks."

[TenOfSwords13]

Thrivey notices Percy's arrival.

Ah, good morning. I... was not really here last night, so I didn't catch anyone's names. I am Thrivey.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Skiggs wakes up and heads to the breakfast buffet and has some scrambled eggs, which is quite different than what he's used to.

Interesting flavor of these eggs. What kind are they and where they from?

[artsyGeek]

"Thrivey, huh? That is a nice name. I'm Percival King." [She gestures for a hand-shake.] "Nice to meet you."

[TenOfSwords13]

Thrivey returns the handshake. It's very nice to meet you, Percival.

Thrivey looks towards the breakfast buffet, only now realising that he is quite hungry. He sits down to eat. So, anything important that I need to know that was not mentioned on the flyer? I heard that there would be all sorts of long-dead animals here, but that's as much as I remember.

[PointMaid]

The eggs? They're local. Very local. Very organic. Dr. Frankie has a giant grin on her face as she tears into her omelet.

[madface7]

"Here's somethin' they shoulda' mentioned on the bloodeh flyer!" says Demoman, drinking more rum. "Ah'm drunk!" He screams and cheers while holding up a bottle.

[PointMaid]

Dr. Frankie nods quite seriously at Thrivey. Oh, yes. If you think one of your colleagues has been turned into a zombie, call a meeting and present the evidence. If more than half of you agree, I'll deal with the situation. Just keep in mind that a nick or bite from one of the animals doesn't necessarily mean zombification.

Oh, and be careful when you're taking care of the animals.

Roman's Christmas: 1285. "Zombie"'s first use: 1819

Thrivey looks at Dr Frankie quizzically. I'm not sure I understand the word... "Zombie", was it? Whatever, I'm sure I could figure it out.
He then proceeds to help himself to a small portion of scrambled eggs.

[Guma]

Already? Well, I don't seeeth how any one of us coulde have turned into a zombie overnight, since none of us were.

[Dookie]

Elizabeth gets out from one of the cabins, yawning.

"Ugh......I should've slept...anyway, good morning!"

[Guma]

Sp, what's for breakfaste?

[madface7]

"Do ye got 'ny haggis? 'S me favorite breakfast food." Demo drinks some more rum and burps.

[Dookie]

Elizabeth glances at the other people on the island. Who were they? The only thing she remembers is going to the island and then sleeping in her cabin.

"I don't recognize you people...I think I was sleeping all of last night."

[PointMaid]

I asked my caterers to make something for each of your tastes. Plenty of fruit, we have to grow a lot of it for the animals. There... might be... something like Haggis.

[Kennifer]

Kim, still yawning and stretching a bit on the way, joins the others for breakfast. She helps herself to some of the unusual eggs and some hashbrowns.

"Mornin. Please tell me there's coffee."

[madface7]

Demo searches through the breakfast.

"I dunnae think we got 'ny haggis here. Ah, well." He takes some eggs and a Lorne sausage.

[Guma]

Dost thou perhaps havest some Dark Waffles?

[PointMaid]

Coffee? Oh, yes. There's plenty of coffee! My research unit would revolt without it. And, there might be Dark Waffles? I'm not sure how those are different from regular waffles, but you can see what's laid out.

Dr. Frankie serves herself a nice large mug of the coffee.

[Kennifer]

Kim grins and helps herself to some coffee.

"Geez, whatever kinda eggs these are, they're pretty damn tasty!"

[madface7]

"I don't care if these eggs are from a feckin' monster from the Great Lochet Ness! These are pretty good, lads!" Demo shovels them into his mouth.

Challenge 1

Welcome to your first challenge! Here are the Dodos! I thought I'd share something cute and cuddly for your first try. Did you enjoy the dodo eggs for breakfast? You'll have to create a Dodo House that will keep out predators, of which we have quite a few, and any potential poachers. Please post how you will:

1. Obtain tools
2. Obtain materials
3. Construct the house
4. Install your defences

Please post all your proposed actions at once for today. I'll be back to grade your efforts. (OOC: I'll be back to roll your actions; the highest scoring will get immunity from getting bitten by the Dodos during the challenge, and anyone not posting by 10pm Eastern will get bitten. I actually need to do some errands right now, but will be back in a few hours if you need me.)
