Bare feet crunching in the wet sand, Iago had submitted to the rain. One shoe in his right hand, the other sitting nearby, he was doing all he could to collect as much fresh water as possible with as few resources as he had. Or, between the young woman he’d met and the voice that was calling from nearby, maybe it was a ‘they’ now. “I’m afraid it’s not a dream, dear.” He glanced down at her shoes and, yes, they would work. They wouldn’t collect much, but they would collect. “Those are some lovely shoes, but you won’t have much use for them in the real world anymore. Start collecting water.”

callista felt her heart drop at that statement from this new stranger. this situation not being a dream just was not working for her — if this was, in fact, all real, then the implications of it were something that she was quite ready to face head on. not just yet. for now, she’d prefer to believe that she’d wake up safe and dry with a full memory at some point. at the stranger’s next words, she looked up at him from her seat in the sand and crossed her arms defiantly; he hadn’t even introduced himself before beginning to tell her what to do. mannerless and bossy, she thought to herself. callista puckered her lips and raised a brow before making a point to look around, as if searching for someone else this man could have been speaking to, before landing her eyes back on him. “i’m sorry, what?”

There were so many questions surrounding her current predicament, and yet the practical part of Alex won’t allow her to waste time trying to answer them. Not until the important things are covered, the ones that will ensure survival. Alex has always been curious, determined to find out the truth, the how and the why and the who. Before, however, (at least most of the time) she didn’t have to worry about survival while answering those questions. Stabbing a broken branch into the sand, the woman takes ten more steps before stabbing another into the ground. It’s then that she hears someone, their tone clearly disgruntled. And just like that, there’s another who to factor into the equation. Another young woman, washed up (or dropped, or dragged, who was to say) on the island. “Hey,” she calls out, continuing her survey of the island, placing three more sticks in the ground until she makes it to the stranger.

callista’s head whipped around at the sound of another voice. she wasn’t sure whether to be worried or glad that she wasn’t the only person on this dream island — rather than figure that feeling out, she just settled on being confused. callie’s eyebrows drew together, and glossed lips were pulled down into a small frown. “hi?” she meant it for it to be more of a statement, but the circumstances didn’t quite allow that. callista looked up at the other girl for only a second before she got tired of being down at, then stood up herself — she thanked whatever highest power existed for making sure she kept her balance. “what are....?” she trailed off, gesturing towards the sticks in the ground. “better yet! who are you and where am i?”

the first thing callista saw when her eyes opened was a swath of dark clouds cast across the sky. the first thing she heard was.....water? she popped up from where she’d laid so quickly she made herself dizzy. she raised a hand to steady her spinning head, pausing when she realized it was....sand? there was sand covering her hand? callista closed her eyes for a second, trying to come to her senses — when she opened them again, she fully took in her surroundings. sand, the sea, and a sky that was about to open. her jaw slowly fell open and her heartbeat felt dull. sand in her hair, all over her designer outfit, and her chanel pumps were scuffed. a sense of panic began to set in as she realized she had no idea where she was or how the hell she’d gotten there. “what in the absolute hell...,” she said quietly, toying with her layers of necklaces just to check that they were still there. she scoffed in disbelief and began shaking her head. “oh absolutely not. this is a dream; this is a dream and i will be waking up from it immediately,” she said out loud, to no one in particular.
