Evolve or Die ((IC)) ( )

Postby Falling Up on Tue Nov 18, 2008 1:09 pm

OOC: evolve-die-accepting-ooc-t13754-40.html

Plot:

In a small foreign country a popular television show, which is known as “Evolve or Die”, has recently been setup to air on several television networks. In the television program viewer’s watch as half-animal, half-human creature’s fight for their lives against dangerous mechanical robots or attempt to survive deadly traps by accomplishing death defying stunts. The show is run by Jerome Kinslay, a crooked millionaire and lowlife, and has been filmed so far in the scorching hot forest that inhibits the small island of Kraoka.

Though the producers claim that they experiment with animals to create the beasts which are featured on the show it is widely speculated that humans are used as test subjects. Several people have been reported missing over the past couple of months in the U.S. The majority that is missing is either from jail and prison or they are isolated members of the community, and they are all between the ages of 17-25. It is assumed that those missing from jail and prison have escaped. In reality they have all been kidnapped by Kinslay.

Each kidnapped person is injected with an untested formula of Animal DNA which gives them the ability to morph into a specific animal. Some suffer serious side effects from the injection while others feel absolutely no pain at all. Most test subjects are unable to control their morphing ability and may unconsciously morph at any time. They are also capable of stopping halfway through the morphing process leaving them half human half animal.

After the subjects are tranquilized then they are moved by helicopter to the middle of the island. There they are dropped off and left to themselves for their own survival. They must evolve and learn to control the morphing ability or they will likely die. Many challenges await them. They must learn to survive by hunting the island’s wildlife; they must avoid the islands perilous traps, and survive combat against the battle droids. If they still live through all this they will be forced to fight each other or be killed by the implants placed in their mind by Jerome.

The implants are placed in everyone while there out .They are not 'mind controling units' as those were to espansive for Jerome's budget. Instead they are small expolsives that explode when a certain frequency from a Jerome's remote is emmitted.

Ryan’s eyes slowly opened and then blinked twice as he began to sit up. It was midday and he was in the middle of a small grassy clearing. The sky was a deep shade of blue and he could hear the loud squawks and calls of various birds that sailed through it. His eyes flickered once more and then opened wide.

“Where am I?”

Was the first thought that came into his mind as he slowly regained his consciousness. He sat up, his body sweating a river, and surveyed his surroundings. He was in a forest of some sort with several trees of different kinds in the distance. Minuscule insects and bugs crawled through the grassy ground or flew through the sky, going about their daily tasks. Wherever he was it was scorching hot.

Where am I?”

Ryan thought again, as he weakly attempted to stand up. He tumbled back to the ground, in failure, weak for a reason currently unknown to him. Ryan groaned as his head began to throb violently but didn’t give up and tried to stand up again. This time he succeeded, and as he stood there in the middle of the clearing, several memories flashed through his mind. There he was standing out side of the meeting, then he ran but the man caught him and brang him to Jerome, Jerome took him away. All these distorted memories ran thorough his mind in a matter of seconds.

I’m at Kraoka!”

Ryan’s mind plunged into despair.

No, I have to focus, there's a 99.9% chance I'm going to die here. but I'm going to go down fighting. Well at least they didn’t inject any Animal DNA into me.”

As if to confirm his thoughts he glanced down at his body.

Whew, for a minute there I wasn’t sure but I’m are human as can be. Well except for the fact that my arms and legs are a bit yellow…Wait Yellow?

He stared down at his arms and legs as they slowly but steadily grew bigger and bigger, a deeper shade of yellow, by the second. A deep gut-wrenching pain cut through him like a knife and he screamed as his clothing ripped and he emerged fully morphed into a lion.

“Great I’m tired, hungry, and thirsty and now I’m a lion.

Kira let out a groan as she came to. Her eyes widend when she realized she was in the wild. "What happen? Where am I." She shouted as she started to panic trying to calm her self down she closed her eyes. "Think...where was the last place I was. I was asleep in my bed. So that must mean that im still a sleep. Maybe if I do something stupid i'll wakeup."
Standing up she stared at a tree infront of her. "Here it goes." She mutters closing her eyes she ran in to the tree. The only thing she succeded in doing was giving herself a headache. Raising her arm up to steady herself she let out a scream her arms were starting to sprout black fur and her hands her truning into paws pain coused through her veins like liquid fire. She winced when she heard her bones make poping nosies and realing them selfs. when it finished she could only stare at her paws in horror. "Im a panther but that means im on Kraoka. I have to get out of here fast."

Waking up in an unknown location with a horrible headache had not been that rare of an occassion to Alysia before she went to prison; what was strange was the fact that she was in a small cave next to a short waterfall, and that her surroundings were mostly tropical in nature, "Huh?" was all she managed to say before a sharp pang ran through her head and she threw up into the crystal-clear waters of the waterfall.

<Oh, god... what happened?> she held her head underneath the fall and washed the horrible taste out of her mouth, <what is this place?> Suddenly a burning sensation began to spread from her shoulderblades, steadily increasing untill it became an agonizing pain, <WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?> she grabbed he head, trying to concentrate and calm herself down, but paniced more when she saw that her hair was begining to fall out. The next minute was a tornado of horrible agony and terifying transformations; her skin became slightly green and scales surfaced in different areas, her teeth grew and sharpened horrendously, her hands deformed and elongated into savage claws, black leathery wings sprouted from her back, and worst of all a giant stinger grew out of her lower back.

The pain of the transformation made her black out for a couple of seconds, and the moment she woke up she once again started to panic, touching her entire body and slowly becoming more and more horrified at the incredible changes.

The first thing I need to do is find a source of water,” Ryan thought as he scanned the horizon looking for a water source of some kind. On four legs he walked several steps forward to increase his line of sight but as he did so a stinging sensation washed over him and he fell to the ground in pain. The pain lasted only a few seconds and then vanished.

What was that all about?” He wondered as he sat up.

I’m human again! But who knows how long it’ll be to I turn back into a lion.” Ryan thought as an idea flashed into his mind. He stood up and focused on his hearing listening for one particular sound.

The sound of gushing water. There it’s very faint but its coming from the north west.”

Ryan rushed toward the direction of the sound, his heart beating, his destination clear.

Jay lay in a gap in the forest. A circle of trees. It looked almost as if it was made to look that way.
He managed to crawl to his knees before all the questions came to his mind. The biggest of all - Where am I?.
He climbed towards his feet using a nearby bush for balance and as he straightened his back a sharp pain ripped through his head. His natural reaction was to put his hand upon his head, but as his index and middle finger came into contact with his temple things changed. All of a sudden he shrunk a little and then he filled out. For a moment he looked like a stocky hobbit, that was until his back started to arch and his front arms came down towards the ground. He looked crouched over, but that wasn't the case. He was a Gorilla!? As he observed his rough hands hair suddenly sprouted from all over, thick black hair.
Before any real thoughts entered his mind he let out an uncontrollable screech and started to beat his chest.

Pain.

It was what woke him up. He bolted up straight, crashing back down a second later as his head filled with pressure and burning heat. The rat clenched it in both hands, and he let out a little scream, unable to open his eyes. Then, it subsided, and Grey tentatively opened his eyes for the first time. Light flooded in, too fast, bringing back the pain. So, he closed them again. A few seconds later, he peeked out, letting the golden glow spill in gently, increasing ever so slowly, burning, but still tolerable. Finally, he realized that they had opened completely, and he was looking at a strange place, dense with trees. He could hear a waterfall nearby. What was this place?

Home. a part of his mind asserted.

He decided to agree, and sat up. Yes, this would be home. For now, it would be best to sleep, though, he decided, and layed down again.

((Sleepy head. =P))

Ryan was already approaching the small waterfall when he heard a loud inhuman screech travel through the air.

"What was that?," Ryan wondered,"Probbaly just some wild beast. I bet Jerome filled the island with them. "

He returned his attention to the waterfall not noticing the form of a female body lying in the small dark cave nearby.
Ryan crawled closer to the water fall and paused for a few seconds.

"This isn't very civillized perhaps I should find a cup or something and try to catch the water in."

He searched for a few minutes but came up empthy.

"Oh,well,I'm going to have to stoop to things lower then this too survive."

Ryan moved as close as he could get to the minature waterfall and started to lap up the water with his tongue.At first slowly and in a civil manner but after a few seconds he was savagely lapping at it as rapidly as possible trying to quench his thirst. Suddenly a loud booming voice startled him and he glanced friviously about.

"By now you must have come to realize that your residents of Kraoka!" The voice said with a thick accent

"Your first challenge, is too survive one day on this blessed tropical island! Good luck,God bless you, and enjoy your stay!" The voice said as it laughed manically.

"Your sick!You know that Jerome?" Ryan yelled as the pricking sensation washed over him a second time.

"He must have hidden speakers on the island..."

What the hell, Reina's head throbbed with unconditional pain. What was going on?
A confused look accompanied frenzied thoughts as the sight of a cougar of some sort came into mind, a vision perhaps.

Reina looked around, the last thing she remembered, she'd been in prison and now, she was in the middle of nowhere, starving and thriving for a drink.

The sound and smell of water made her stand up, she looked down at herself, as her dreams often meant sub-concious unknown things so having a vision must have been something more serious.
Aside from a dirty body, Rei seemed rather normal.

As soon as Reina made it to the waterfall, she saw others, weird people, creatures possibly, but before she had any thoughts, any words could be spoken, a booming voice tore through her ears.

Kraoka? She thought to herself as she listened intently. Where ever she was, it was far away from home.

"Jerome?" Reina spoke before hearing Ryan hell to the Heavens.
"Jerome Kinslay?!" Her voice sounded angry.

"What the hell is this place?" She asked aloud, before cupping her hands for water, not even noticing the fact that Ryan was, in fact, a lion.

The sudden outburst from the hidden speakers drew Alysia out of her momentary trance; she listened intently to the short speech and grimaced when she recognized the name of the island, <I had heard of the show... but I thought that he used animals, not humans...> a sudden screaming response to the message brought her out of her brief stream of thought, and she noticed for the first time that her eyesight had changed. It seemed almost like everthing was vibrating and pulsing constantly, neon hues substuted normal colors, and different objects had different intensities of radiance; although she didn't understand it imediatley, she had gained some sort of hybrid heat vision (created by the mixture of the snake and human DNA).

She walked out of the small cave, too distracted by her new spectrum of vision to notice the lion on the other side of the waterfall, or the woman some distance away from the water.

"Follow me."

Follow he did, albeit reluctantly. They had never told him the reason he was here, specifically, in this large, hospital-esque building. Its tall white ceilings, thick white walls, and windowless rooms sent eerie thoughts into his mind. Eyes, downcast, watched his feet. 'Perhaps,' he began to muse, 'they really will give me the money stolen from me.. Maybe this time I won't be tricked!' An unsuppressed feeling of joy welled up inside of him and though he was tempted to jump, hoop, and holler with glee, for the sake of sanity and a business-like air, he decided not to and with good reason.

Over her shoulder the aide murmured, her voice gentle and elegant like that of a thousand song birds' songs, that they had arrived. He rose his head for a brief moment, nodded, and whispered a quiet yet polite "Thank you." Without word she turned and walked off. Kell waited for her the sound of her heels clacking against the tiled floor to dull to a light pitter-patter before reaching for the door. His jacket sleeve pulled back and a pale hand was revealed. Bony fingers wrapped around the doorknob and he was shocked to find the knob warm, not cold. With a stupid smile he entered the small room and then all was black.


Noises, great, loud, and unfamiliar invaded his senses. Something long and plentiful tickled his nose and all around there was a lack of automobile sounds and hustling people. Not even the gods dare grace him with a subtle conversation. Even his semi-conscious mind, still hazy from the injections, could tell he was somewhere else and in that somewhere he was all alone. Horribly stranded.... Forever alone..

With a hitch of breath he jerked up but quickly regretted it. His mind became hazy and all he could see was black. All was dizzy and there he hunched, swaying to and fro to keep his upper body up and off the ground. What felt like an eternity of nausea and dizziness turned out to be only moments and soon the after-acts of his unknown predicament left him.

"Where the..?" he rasped.

Kell rose slowly this time, wary. Pale hands brushed off the dirt from his clothes, brand new thanks to a Jerome Kinslay, whilst he looked around in awe. Sometime between glancing to his left and then to his right his jaw had dropped and all he could do was murmur quietly.

"How beautiful it is, so untouched by the cruelties of man.."

Once dull eyes brightened, lids fluttering shut over them, and for once in many years he smiled.

Jay seemed to have lost control of his body. His arms flung into the air dangerously and uncontrollably. His legs forced him to bounce off the ground a few times before landing on a low branch of a tree. Leaning on the trunk, he managed to take back control of his body.
He took a deep breath before taking a proper look at himself, How could this be? He could faintly hear running water and as he thought about travelling towards it his body made his mind up for him. He seemed to be running on all fours, his arms occasionally beating the ground for balance.
He reached the body of water and steadied himself above it. As he lapped up some of the liquid he caught a glance of his reflection. He really was a bonified Gorilla. A Silverback Gorilla. He only knew this because he was involved in large amounts of conservation work back home.
He was so taken aback by his own transformation that he didn't even notice the beings around him or the sound of 'Jerome's' voice.

Ryan turned around and faced the direction of the voice in suspicion.

"I thought I was the only one here...But it would make sense that there were others,to create a "survial of the fitess" appeal to the viewers."

His stomach rumbled within him and a brown sparrow flew overhead as he beagn to speak,"You don't know?"

"Theres something wrong with this picture," Ryan thought "I feel almost...smaller.Wait that means...Thats why I felt that prickling sensation but I was so caught up in my thoughts about Jerome I ignored it."

Reina looked around one more time, this time taking a seat, her bare feet feeling hot on the ground.
Something about that place seemed familiar, surreal yet beautiful.
Her thirst had been quenched, though her petite hands still rested in the cool water; she let them move with the flow.

Reina's blue-green eyes flickered as her eyes narrowed back to the lion. She was about equal in height to him now as she was rather tall and sitting down, give or take a few inches.

"I do know," She finally spoke now, "I just can't believe it."

Again that same vision of that cougar came into mind, running wild, confused eyes. Reina had to shake her head to rid herself of the image, though she couldn't stop thinking of it, and even moreso that she was speaking to a lion.

The girl’s eyes flickered and Ryan wondered what kind of animal DNA she had been injected with.

“My name's Ryan and from what I’ve heard,” Ryan said “There’s hundreds of traps placed all over the Island. But we have to move out and find food or we’ll likely starve to death. But I wonder is it even worth it? We’ll probably end up dead anyway, so why allow Jerome to profit off of us?

A random thought drifted into Ryan’s mind as he turned and lapped up more water from the waterfall with his giant tongue.

I remember, seeing a waterfall like this,” He thought “I was on a safari for vacation. But it was grander more majestic then this miniature one.

Ryan blinked “Another one of those random thoughts that occasionally enter my mind. Or maybe it was something else. My life flashing before eyes because death is so close you can taste it.”

This time the pain from morphing was only a light stinging and lasted less time then before. Instantly a black vest and smooth pants complete with a pair of dark shoes materialized on him from a small device attached to his back. Courtesy of Jerome Kinslay. Ryan morphed into a standing position but was too weak from morphing to hold that position for long. He stumbled backwards and fell to the grassy ground.

“That’s what the worse about this is. I can’t control when or how much I morph.” He said weakly from his position on the ground.
