It was a warm, balmy day on the island of Terra, home of a group of student survivors of the worldwide oil crisis. They had been shipwrecked on the island when the boat carrying them to better-off Europe had crashed on a sandbar, leaving them adult-less and stranded. Originally, twenty-four had lived there; now only five remained: Chloe, the island's high priestess, artist, and eccentric fashionista, as well as the seamstress and fisherwoman; Ella, the Dinosaurmurderer and Potter; Chandler, the Troublesome Fusser, Carpenter, and Water Gatherer; Riley, the co-Carpenter, Lumberjack, and chef; and, finally, the Undertaker, whose name explains all that need be explained about her work. Upon this lush island of Terra, the inhabitants were hard at work. It was Coconut Collecting Day and, as Undertaker cackled and Chloe watched, Riley prepared to climb the tallest tree to fetch the largest coconuts. "If you kill yourself-" Undertaker began. "-Come to you. Yeah, yeah." Riley interrupted in reply, scowling as he clenched a stone knife between his teeth and took hold of the tree.

ooc- We should allow more people to join. not just five cause I wouldn't mind making some people up but whatever. I'm just happy that you made this! Okay so I'm chloe Obviously. I'll write my appearance for those of you who don't know me! Chloe's hair is about hip length and tangly after living on the island. She wears simple clothing with lots of tribal designs she made herself! And wears lots of hand made beaded necklaces, bracelets and all that good stuff. She spends her time using what she can to make art of some kind. She's very peaceful and hates fighting and doesn't really enjoy the undertaker's gruesome job. She has naturally pale skin that burns easily and spends most of the day in the shade. She can be found wandering around aimlessly humming and singing to herself and frolicking around the forest and beach. OK i'm done! XD If I left anything out I'll just add it during rp.

(Yeah, they'll come on a raft later! XD)
"Don't die, okay? Don't encourage her." Chloe playfully nudged her best friend, who scowled. Undertaker, like Chloe, burned easily, though the majority of her skin was covered by her long, blonde hair, riddled with tangled braids and beads and chimes and charms. She wore a sack-like dress and over it a roughly-hewn, robe-like coat, despite the hot weather of the island. Around her neck, always jingling and chinking when she moved, were hundreds, perhaps even a thousand, braided, beaded shell necklaces that wound about her like a great collar. On her face, a constant leering grin sat, and it was mostly what was seen of the Undertaker's face besides her nose, for her eyes and the rest of her face were shielded by her bangs. "Die, die!" Undertaker whispered, cackling to herself. "Die!" With one bony finger tipped by a long, claw-like fingernail, Undertaker adjusted the coral-and-seashell crown atop her dark head, letting out a "Tehe!" of glee as Riley began to climb the palm.

Chloe looked over at the undertaker with a unamused expression. She then looked up at Riley climbing up the extremely tall tree. "If you fall I'll catch youuuu!" But her words were not very comforting. If he did fall and she tried to catch him it would just hurt the both of them. Chloe was very skinny from a combination of little to eat and a high metabolism and she was mostly skin and bones. She shaded her pale tealish eyes with her hand as she looked up. "Don't be scared! Mother nature will take care of you!" She yelled up to him.

Undertaker howled with laughter. "If he falls on you, you'll both die!" she moaned in utter ecstasy, pearly teeth showing through her cheesy grin. "I'll bury you together!"

Chloe looked over at the undertaker and was slightly disturbed. "Riley, don't fall! Please don't fall!" She called up, fearing both of their lives. She then looked around for some kind of shade because she could feel her skin beginning to burn. She sat in the little shade provided by the palm tree and began to draw little designs in the sand in front of her with her finger.

"Get those big coconuts!" Chandler called as he walked up, a guava in one hand. " The BIG ones!" Beside him, Ella snickered, no doubt thinking up something perverse. Undertaker peered down at Chloe and snickered, bringing her foot down in the middle of Chloe's designs. "Methinks my old friend is in love with Riley and doesn't want to see him hurt!" Undertaker sang, "For her love would be broken quite brutally in the fall! Yahahahahaaa!" "SHUT UP!" Chloe snarled, and tripped the Undertaker so that she fell, crown flying off her head and crashing to the ground, breaking.

The group was completely silent for a couple of seconds as the undertaker lay face down in the sand and her little broken crown not too far away. Chloe had never seen the undertaker angry and she hoped she never would. But she didn't know how the undertaker would react to this. Chloe jumped up and pulled her up from the sand. And scrambled to the crown, picking it up off the sand "Oh my god! I'm so sorry! I'll fix it! Or I'll even make a new one if you want!" At this point Chloe feared for her life. But the undertake just sat there with her face blank. Almost as if she didn't know how to react to the situation.

"My....crown......is broken...." she stated slowly, as if trying to figure out what it was that she was saying. "My.....my crown....I made it myself the day we first came here, pretending I was an island princess......." Undertaker's pale hands curled into fists, dragging little trails in the sand. "Back when I remembered....everything.....when I knew who I was......." Undertaker's eyes flashed up from the ground to Chloe's, full of tears and burning. "BACK WHEN I WAS SANE!" Chloe's shoulders heaved from the tremors running through her, and Undertaker was trembling as well. Riley watched from his perch atop the tree and Chandler and Ella cowered as Undertaker leapt up. "Now, I don't remember my own NAME!" Undertaker violently kicked a shard of coral from the crown across the ground and through the air so far it hit the water two yards away. "Practically the only remnant of who I was that day." A bitter smile crept onto Undertaker's cheeks, and she let out a rueful laugh with no humor in it at all. "It's broken." As Chloe's eyes got even wider, Undertaker returned to the ground, face becoming blank again. And then, to even more shock of everyone else, she grinned madly and began to laugh more heartily and insanely than she ever had before, so hysterical that she fell back to the ground, screaming with her laughter, clutching her ribs as tears streamed from her eyes.

Chloe didn't really know what to do. She sat there in front of the undertaker, staring at her with wide eyes. "I could fix it. I swear." She said quietly as the undertaker laughed insanely. "I could tell you your name too if you'd like." Chloe said practically whispering. She didn't know what the undertaker was going to do next. Chloe stood up slowly and brushed the sand off of her knees and wiped her hair away from her face. She stood there awkwardly as she shuddered.

Undertaker laughed and laughed and laughed for what seemed like hours, though in reality, it was only a few minutes. When she quieted again, the bitter look was back, and she rose. "I am not that person anymore. I need not know who I once was when I can never be her again." Wavering slightly, Undertaker rose and left.

Chloe looked around the group once the undertaker had left. "Do you think we're safe?" She asked. "I'm not sure." Ella said. "It might be best if we don't sleep tonight." Chandler nodded. "I agree." he said. Chloe sighed and plopped down and began drawing design in the sand again. "I'm going to fix her crown anyway. I'll feel bad if I don't." She said quietly.

At the same time, Riley slid down the tree trunk, one arm brimming with coconuts. "What....was that?" he asked slowly, looking disturbed. "Undertaker." the other said in unison. "She's gone berserk." Chandler cynically explained.
