For Want of a Tern

It was 11:25AM on a foggy Wednesday morning when the final passenger boarded a plane on Island Airlines, from one side of the ocean to another. It was 4:18PM in the afternoon when a flock of migrating arctic terns passed too close to the engines, 4:24PM when the Flight Attendant told the passengers not to panic, and 4:52PM when the plane touched down on an island in the middle of the ocean.

Luckily, the landing was as smooth as circumstances would allow and no one was injured, though most got very wet. Unluckily, the island had no airport and no sign of human inhabitants. After sending a distress call, the Pilot sighed and resigned himself to whoever knows how long it would take for a rescue team to come along.

Slice of life, with a tendency towards humor.

Choose a Character:
The Pilot
The Co-Pilot
The Flight Attendant
The Other Flight Attendant
The Husband
The Wife
The Police Officer Handcuffed To A Prisoner
The Prisoner In The Middle Of Being Transported (Mister Always)
The Unaccompanied Minor (Kuiper)
The Person From First Class (Midnight Velvet)
The Very Convenient Doctor

As people sign up this list will be edited accordingly with the chosen characters struck out. The only established traits about these characters are what is in their title—you can decide their names and personalities for yourselves.

Once these slots get filled entirely, you'll be able to join as a character you made yourself. No character sheets, just think up a short yet descriptive title which you will elaborate in the roleplay with names and all that.

I kind of want to be the first class passenger, but I don't want to end up making them a cliche... What were you planning on their personality being like?

Cool! Yeah, I want to be the first class passenger in that case.

The Prisoner In The Middle Of Being Transported. Dibs!

Let's hope somebody shows up who wants to play the cop.

Always touching and looking. Piss off.

Done. Ideas on when I should post the RP thread? After we have five-ish players, or what??
