(not my best character description, sorry)

Scarab slowly opened her eyes, lifting her hand to block the sunlight. She sat up on the sand and looked around. She got to her feet and spotted a black bag, which she picked up, of course. The girl opened the bag and took out one of the cans inside. Food. Scarab smiled, and slipped the can of beans back into the backpack. Better not lose this. She noticed a blue haired woman coming toward her, and lifted her hand in a small wave. "Well," She muttered to herself, "Time to meet someone who could possibly kill me."

Chance blinked his eyes open, waking to a mouthful of sand. His body shot up and he started to spit out wet sand. "Ugh," Chance muttered when most of the sand was out of his mouth. He stood up and grabbed the backpack he saw when he had woken up. He looked inside and saw the basic survival tools and a ring with rose designs on a chain.

It was warm, too warm, the Boston breeze replaced with sweltering tropical heat. Far too bright, lights swelling, burned his eyelids and fair skin. He pushed himself upright, sand cutting into his palms, and gazed up at the cloudless blue sky. There were waves crashing in the background, their sound of false relaxation setting off warning bells in his head. Why was he on a beach?

His left hand felt around, landing on a large lump of fabric. Pulling it around, he inspected it. A mid-sized backpack, filled with nonperishable food and some water, and a gold chain with a pendant. He recognized it belatedly as his own chain, and he felt at his neck, numbly surprised that it was no longer there. Still numb, he slipped it on and stood.

Maybe he wasn't alone? He needed to find help. He wasn't exactly cut out for survival, and judging by the panic that was slowly building in his chest and throat, if he didn't find someone within a few minutes he'd start screaming. Whoever did this clearly didn't know who he was. It must be some big mistake. Yes, a mistake. He'd be fine once he found someone –anyone.

Brooke slowly walked through the sandy beach, the blazing sun coursing through her skin. God when can I just go back home? Looking around she saw a bag , inside was, only 10 cans of food and a picture of her parents.

Scarab dug around in her bag again, retrieving a pendant on a thin chain. She put it around her neck and began walking away from the beach. "Okay, island. Let's see what else is here." She muttered, running a hand through her hair to get rid of the sand.

Addison awoke in the sand with a start, his mismatched eyes flying open as he stared around, a little confused. "…the hell?" he grumbled to himself, sitting up and rubbing his aching head, squinitng against the sun.

Chance was a bit unsteady on his feet as he made his way down the path, clutching the ring tightly. He wasn't sure what was going on, but at least he had his ring, Malcom would throw a fit if he lost the ring before the wedding.

Kai found a path relatively uninhibited by trees and bushes and followed that, certain he'd run into somebody. "Hello?" he shouted as he jogged down the path.

Scarab froze when she heard a voice calling out. She turned around, and was immediately knocked to the ground by someone jogging the opposite direction. "Ack!"

"Shit, sorry!" Kai managed to keep his footing and halfway catch the girl he'd collided with. His hand was around her wrist, keeping her kind of upright, and he pulled her up the rest of the way. "Thank God I found another person. What the hell is going on?"

"No idea." She replied, running her free hand through her hair. "I just woke up on the beach and started walking around. The only thing I found was this bag."

He glanced at her bag and realized it matched his. "Me too." Belatedly he let go of her arm, a little embarrassed by how comforting human touch was at the moment. "To be honest, I'm completely confused. This is unreal. I'm –I don't understand how I got here. I was at home by the pool and then…this."

After taking a few steps, he felt something strange in the backpack. David caught a glimpse of some people walking down a path; he better not lose sight of them. He opened the bag again seeing a few items for survival and then a small tiger plush wearing a plain rose colored shirt. The plush was still in his hand after he zipped the backpack up. His eyes wandered around as he started to walk on the path again. "Eden!", he called out.

Molly looked around and noticed a bag sitting on the sand near her, she crouched down and unzipped the bag, inspeinspecting the objects inside. There were several cans of food and a keychain with a small silver mushroom and a plain key attached, she smiled lightly at the memories the object brought but quickly decided this wasn't the time for sentiment, when zipped the backpack up and got up, noticing a clear trail cut out through the trees, she put the keychain in her pocket and began following the trail warily.

Scarab nodded. "Same thing happened to me. But, I was on my way back home after hanging out with some friends." Sort of…but he won't know about that.
