Total Drama Reboot: Julia Meets her Match

Chapter 2

You awake, finding Zee and Damien still asleep. You step outside of the cabin to find a few others awake at this time. Axel was doing something that looked like hunting, scary girl was peering at your female teammates through the window, and Julia was meditating in front of your cabin.

Deciding she was the most normal, you decide to approach Julia. Any connections you can make will help you.

You sit down next to her and cross your legs, a pose similar to hers.

"You're up early ," you inquire, ignoring the fact that you are too.

"Rising early is good for your health, and the energy outside is, like, good for charging yourself," Julia answers your question.

"Is that so? Well, I suppose I'm lucky to have learned," you try to humor her as much as possible. While she seems like a weak competitor, a vote is a vote no matter who it comes from.

"Maybe your wavelengths can win us the challenge today," you hope to establish a friendly connection.

"They will. My energy, like, always works," she replies and you take your leave.

Most of the campers are up by now, with the exception of Zee.

I wonder what kind of physical damage Chris will try to cause us today?

Soon enough, the alarm goes off, signaling it's challenge time.

"Hello campers, and congrats on making it to day 2. For todays challenge, I need one member of each team to sit out."

"That'll be me. There's no way I'm doing it with yesterdays challenge," Damien quickly calls out, fearful of what is coming.

"Hold it," Chris begins, "you don't get to choose. It will be randomly selected by me."

He pulls a name out of two buckets, as everyone leans in closer, hoping to be the one.

"For the bears, Emma will sit out this challenge, and for the sharks, Julia."

The two step aside when called, when suddenly, the ground seems to fall out from under them. In an instant, both girls are gone while you hear the echoes of their screams.

"Where did they go?" Nichelle asks, her voice a bit shaky in fear for the girls.

Chris chuckles.

"Wouldn't you like to know? For your challenge, your job is to find them. The first team to find their team mate is safe, and will enjoy a night at the luxury cabin hidden on the island. Now go!"

Everyone bolts off in random directions, with no guidance on the correct way.

"You better hurry, I have no idea if they ended up somewhere safe or not," Chris laughs again.

In your direction, you notice a few of the other team, as well as Zee and Priya are headed in a similar way as you.

"They're screams faded away, if they were close by, we should still hear them," Priya calls out to you and Zee.

After watching Priya since the start of camp, you can tell she will be good competition. She's definately a more valuable teammate than influencer girl or the scaredy cat. It may be beneficial to keep her around until the merge, but it's not too early to craft a way to get her eliminated.

You consider the situation and her words, and try to think of somewhere Chris would want to send them.

An idea suddenly pops into your head.

"This way," you call out to your team.

As for the other team, Bowie, Wayne and Raj are currently headed toward the cliff across the island.
