The long and cold sea:

You're venturing throughout the cold brisky sea, fishing for food and surviving on 2 bottled water. You're hungry and finally see someone. He looks cold - out of the ordinary cold... He's... he's BLUE! He has red hair - unusually just on one side of his head. He's holding a red blanket, and he's stark naked even though there's nothing to see. 

He looks at you, his darkened eyes, before he falls onto his small sailboat and sits cross-legged waiting. What is he waiting for? You then see an island not there before - an island out of the ordinary - almost perfect - TOO perfect. This MUST be a mirage. 

You stay in your boat as you watch the blue man walk out of his boat when you finally realise - he isn't a man - he's not a person, not a human. Perhaps a species of alien. He's seen you - you try to run but he approaches the boat then out of the bushes comes a dark skinned girl with flower hair and a colourful vibing dress. A man, with a wide face and ears in rings same for the head. He seems to be cleaning rocks. You then whimper in fear when you realise the girl is also not human - same goes for the man cleaning the rock. They look furry, scary almost. They're walking toward you.

 "Myy nameeee'sssss Upssyyyyy Daisssssssssssy!" the girl says opening her hands which don't have fingers rather stubs with a little stub on the end as if rather than hands she had mittens. "Do-don't come near me! What are you?" you ask, curiously. They all take a step back, smiling, whilst the blue man stands in the corner looking creepy as usual. "My name's Upsy Daisy - UD for short!" says the flower girl. "My name's Makka Pakka - MP for short!" says the wide - faced man. "The name's Iggle Piggle - IP for short!" grunts the blue man. Then, MP and UD giggle and say in unison, "And we're.... we're... we're... we are... well I don't know for sure."

" I thinkkkk we're human though!", smiles UD. "Well..um why are you here?" UD taps her chin for a while before answering with, "We were in a loss of people, our crewmates died and we found this lovely island for all our cares. The boat sinked and we have nothing to get us back home! Though, we know the way" You smile, finally feeling somewhat appreciated. "Perhaps... I could take you home... with MY ship?" UD then giggles and says, "What ship, silly?" You then look back to see you sitting on the grass in the island - not on your ship which has now mysteriously disappeared. You then look around a bit more before realising the sea is nowhere to be seen for miles. You burst into tears when you see a soft hand appear before you - a mitten - a big stub, dark skinned and unusually big - not human - soft and felt like felt. You take her hand, feeling trusted then all the questions come blurting out.
