Total Drama: A New Island

[Midnight Maiden]

~Melody/Sybil~

Melody heard Kat start the announcement, and took a deep breath of the fresh, salty air. So... This was it, huh? First challenge comin' up.. Guess it's go time. Brushing her long blonde hair back over her shoulders, and quietly made her way to the now unveiled course. In all honesty, the challenge seemed to be a relief. It could've been much worse. Besides... Melody admittedly enjoyed a good obstacle course.

When she heard the names of her fellow competitors, she took a quick glance about. She didn't know who Desmond or Blacheflor were, but she was sure that they'd be fair competition. She took her starting position, determination in her eyes. She didn't need her team thinking she was weak and invaluable..

Suddenly, Melody became aware of a boy next to her, whom she assumed was Desmond, that had spoken to her. Immediately she recognized him as the male whom had been staring at her earlier. She offered him a smile, tucking a stray hair behind her ear. "Oh, hey! Nice to meet you, Desmond," she replied, smiling. Sybil..? So, he thinks that's my name, just like everyone else. "Yeah, yeah.. I'm Sybil. I typically go by Melody, or Mel, though," she answered. It wasn't entirely a lie.. Sybil, in order to keep her DID a secret, had adjusted to people calling her Melody. After all.. Mel was the only side anyone knew. Sybil hardly spoke, and frequently was startled into switching consciences.

When the whistle was blown, Melody started off immediately. She began making her way across the board, lacking speed. Rather, she crossed with her eyes closed, feet gracefully moving along the plank and arms out to help with balance. Once or twice, she glanced at Desmond, noticing the smile he gave and returned it politely. She had gotten across in no time, not once faltering on the way across. I guess those years of makeshift balance-beams in my room really paid off. She stood on the platform, biting her lip and looking up at the wall she needed to climb. Sure, she was a great climber.. But this wasn't exactly like rock climbing bluffs, or scaling oaks. Taking a deep breath, she leapt for the wall, barely managing to snag one of the ropes. She gave a squeal as she struggled to latch on.

~Chasidy~

Chasidy blunk, glancing to the host. Blimey, they were going to be late! Soon enough, she was there, and the girl parted to join her group without another word. As soon as the course was unveiled, Chasidy had it memorized, and was already calculating how to get it done.. This would be a snap! She hardly bothered to care what 'team' she was paired with, as she didn't need to know to get this done. She joined them quietly, and started across the beam the second the whistle was blown.

She went at a slower, steadfast pace, taking her time to make sure she didn't fall. Too easy. Pausing momentarily when she reached the platform, she quickly calculated accurate timing to jump according to wind flow blowing the ropes. Huffing with effort, she jumped, barely reaching the rope. It took a minute for her to secure it in her grasp, before she slowly began climbing.



~Astyr~

Astyr smiled at her teammates, giving them a nod of encouragement. "Well... Good luck, guys!" she offered, giving one last smile before darting to the course. She swiftly joined her 'team', relieved to see it was just a couple of guys. One of them was tall, fit, lean.. Actually, quite attractive. The other was much shorter in stature, and seemed awfully nervous and rickety. This'll be a snap! She smiled at the two she'd be competing against. "Well.. I wish you both good luck!" she said outgoingly, sincerity laced through her voice.

When the whistle was blown, Astyr took off without a glance back. However, her attempt to move quickly ended in a quick fall. Cursing quietly, she swam back, before starting again at a more rational pace. She moved a bit slower, but it was worth it, as she made it the whole way this time(though she lost her balance a time or two). The second she reached the next platform, she leapt for the wall, easily snatching the rope and starting to scale the wall. Balance wasn't her thing in the slightest, but climbing? She had that in the bag.​

Kevin stood patiently waiting for the challenge to begin. He saw that some of his team members were not yet at the beach. Where are they? The challenge could start at any moment. He sighs and looks up at the sky. "Whatever.." He whispers to himself. If we lose then they will be the first to be voted of anyways. With that, he begins doing some stretches to get warmed up for the challenge. He places his arm behind his back and uses the other one to pull it. Then he spreads his legs apart and reaches for the ground with his hands. Then he starts doing some jumping jacks with various other exercises.

His eyes turn to the obstacle being uncovered. "Wow" is all he can say as he examines the elaborately made course. His trance is then broken by Kat making the announcement to head to the dock. In response Kevin runs towards the dock. He listens to the instructions given to the contestants. "Alright, so our first challenge won't be as a team. Oh well." He says to himself. He listens as his number is called and heads over to his respective course. He waits for the signal to start... after Kat says Go, Kevin rushes to take over the plank and crocross first leaving Jacob and Xavier behind. He steadily walks on top of it trying not fall in the water. He is almost at the end when he feels unbalanced. His body shifts left and right uncontrollably. Oh crap.. To prevent himself from falling, he lunges his body to the other side of the plank. He successfully does this as he was only a few inches away from the other side. He catches his breath from the rush that went over him as he jumped. Phew! After a little while he gets up and begins to climb the wall.

Xavier heard his name being called and went to the starting area. Looking at his competition he started to get a little worried. Once it was announced they could start Xavier rushed forward but Kevin got I front of him. Not wanting to tackle the boy he can to a stop, or at least tried to. He ended up having to jump onto the plank and stumbling across. He almost fell off at the end but managed to jump to the other platform barely making it, but he made it none the less.

Xavier was on his stomach now and pushed upward determined not to look weak. Once he was standing he started to run towards the wall. Once he got there Xavier pulled upward in the rope, but only made it a foot off the ground before falling back to the ground.

Ayumi​

Ayumi had almost completely forgotten about the challenge and when she finally remembered, she dashed towards the beach. She managed to make it just before the challenge was announced, and she could see that a boy was right behind her in the same situation. She didn't have time to question it before the groups where announced. She smiled and waved to each one, before getting ready. As the other seemed not inclined to move, she started on the beam slowly, instead of rushing it. She walked slow enough to get across without falling, but not slow enough to hold the others back.​

Kyle​

Kyle had forgotten about the games, to busy snapping pictures of his exposed chest, just for his instagram. He finally decided to head to where all the cute little ladies where at, finding himself running as he heard the announcer starting the games. He begun to heave in breaths, placing his hands on his knees as he reached the dock.

Charlie didn't care about her teammates she preferred to be solo anyway, she began the obstacle course steadily pushing through it until she got to the part where she had to climb the monkey bars it was suppose to be the easiest but she was wet from the other activities previous before though she hasn't fell in the other ones they were wet from other competitors that had been through it, she grab the metal bar firmly in her fist her hands were sore already from the work, she could feel her palms starting to slip from the bar, "Shit, shit, shit." she thought to herself, suddenly she fell into the water, she quickly held her breath so she wouldn't get a lung-full of water, after falling three times she finally made it through and to the end.

Zayden had no problem with the obstacle course he was so healthy eating nothing but vegan-products and vitamins, he knew he was well-built for any exercise the only part that gave him trouble was when he had to jump from the floating donut looking floats, they kept cutting him whenever he jumped causing him to have a type of carpet burn on his legs, but he made it through until the end without giving up.

Jason climbed up the wall with ease and in no time was sliding down the other side to reach the monkey bars. He looked at them carefully and after judging nothing secret was hidden he jumped up and started swinging across as if he had done it all his life. Will was still slowly climbing up the wall he had slipped and nearly fallen in hut had managed to crawl back to his feet. Soon he made it to the top as well and was down the other side to get ready for the next obstacle. He did the same as Jason had but took a little extra time to catch his breath and make sure nothing crazy would happen before setting off across the bars.
