She pulled him closer as they stood by the edge of the waterfall. She had always liked him. Since

they first met 13 months ago on this island, she has been wondering if she can ever find the

courage to kiss him. At night, she sometimes dreams she hears a voice whispering to her ear:

You

can do it. You can win him over. Just bring him to the waterfall when you’re alone. Whisper the

words to him: We’re Alone.

Today she decided to do it. The dream kept happening, after all. There must be a reason why.

She felt his heat against her skin and tried to still her heart. It was beating so fast she was afraid he

would notice. He looked into her eyes and leaned forward to kiss her. She bit her lower lip in

anticipation.

“We’re alone,” she whispered.

“Just like the voice said,” he agreed. Her eyes widened at his words, wondering what he had meant

by them. But the question would go unanswered. The wind whipping around her and the scream

erupting from her were too loud. She hit the shallow water below and crumpled against the rocks.

He stared at her from the edge and smiled. The voices whispered to him that she would bring him

to place where they would be alone. That he would have the chance to finally try killing someone.

That the person would let him know it was time by telling him, “We’re Alone.” He couldn’t believe it

would happen, but it did just like the voice whispered to his ear last night. He never noticed the

dragonfly on his shoulder.

They called it the Dream Island.

The reality show had 12 teenager contestants. Each were given the freedom to redefine their lives

while in the island, which was populated with animals,

dragonflies

, and rich in various resources.

They were to have one year to do what they want, with only cameras recording their every move. It

was a chance of a lifetime to bring to life one’s own

dreams

That was what they were made to believe.

By day 401, they realized no one had come to bring them home. Worse, all of the cameras on the

island had gone

. Had they been

still

abandoned

? Did something occur to the world beyond the

island. Did some calamity wipe out the rest of civilization? Or some freak accident kill the staff of

the show, and left them completely alone?

In truth, a different kind of audience watches them now.

Because they are part of a different show.

Not all the dragonflies in the island are insects. Some are multisensory selfpowered drones which

the audience uses to spy on the contestants, and in some cases, influence their actions. Unlike

most reality shows where the audience merely watches, and at most votes on certain instances, in

this show the audience has a stake on the results. The show has 12 selected members of the

audience who have been given control of these drones. And have selected a contestant they want

to win. By using the drones, the audience members can monitor the island, and even attempt to

prod the contestants to do things… like get rid of other contestants and have theirs be the last one

standing.

Each audience member wants their own selected contestant to win.

Just like you do.

PLAYING THE GAME:

The Contestants

Unlike most games, however, the player does not have a character sheet in this game. No, the

player doesn’t need stats. Instead the players collectively create the contestants of the show.

Players first take turns filling the Contestant sheet. The Contestant sheet has up to twelve spots

to fill up. There will be a number of contestants equal to the number of players+1. Starting with

the player who most recently remembers having a dream, the players write down a name for a

contestant.

Once all the contestants have names, each then write a dream that contestant wants to fulfill

while on the island. No two dreams should be the same, and they should somehow be

achievable while there. These were the dreams they had in mind when the contest started.

Then, take turns writing what has changed. Maybe the writer spiralled into depression. Maybe

the geek started working out. Maybe the chef now uses his food to seduce the girls. Be

creative, yet plausible.

Finally, each write a trait that describes the contestant. This helps describe how he handles

thing, or how he might react to certain events. Bear in mind, at the point when the game starts,

each contestant has been on the island for over a year, and now believes they are completely

abandoned by the show and free to do things. Does this terrify them? Empower them?

Transform them? That is up to you and your friends.

Regina waded in the shallow waters as she looked for more sea urchins. She was hoping to

prepare a nice uni surprise for Manuel, the fittest man she had ever seen. She never had the

courage to approach such men before but here on the island, she felt she had nothing to lose.

The cameras closed in towards the surface of the water a few feet from where Regina waded.

There was a dark patch suggesting more urchins beneath the waters. But Regina felt suddenly

scared. Memories of some movie she saw when she was young suddenly resurfaced. Though

unlikely, she suddenly felt scared there might be a great white shark closing in on her from beneath

the waves. It was as if she could hear the “dun dun dun dun” beat despite being in an island

thousands of miles from any radio.

She broke into a run, and tried to rush out of the water as fast as she could. The shock of pain that

exploded the moment she stomped on the urchins was enough to have her lose her balance and

drop to the water. Her head landed on the Yoshimatsu carving knife halfburied in the sand.

A tiny dragonfly fluttered away. Almost imperceptible, the ostinato of bass notes played by a tuba

emanated from its gossamer wings. John Williams’ theme for Jaws has claimed another victim.
