Welcome to Murder Island (Anthro, NSFW, Spoopy)

@Dave33333  
“Um…no.”

@neutralgrey  
(I’m back!)
 
Dash snickered. “I… think you’ve been smoking a little too much Happy Leaf, Silver Gleam.”
 
They could feel the boat slowing down. “Oh, right! I gotta bring my stuff!” Dash ran off and returned with a suitcase and a surfboard.
 
As the boat approached the docks, Gerry returned, stuffing his flask away. “We’re here…”

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Alex retrieved his suitcase which contained the usual items one would take for a weekend trip, clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, things of that nature. However, it also contained a small first aid kit, his work as an EMT had taught him to be prepared for anything.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Dana: Oh… Great… _{^{I’d rather be in Australia, then again… Hot mare…}}
 
Either way, she goes to get her stuff.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Unsure what the pegasus meant(aside from the drugs part), the mare went to go get her other piece of luggage.

The boat stopped with a clank. Crew members from inside the cockpit left and roped it to the dock. Rainbow Dash was the first one to step off, carrying her red-and-white board and suitcase and walking down the dock.
 
“Ah, nice to be off that boat!” She outstretched her wings. Some small cracks were heard as she did so, likely because of her having to keep them tucked down for the long boat ride.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Dana got off the boat, a little dizzy though… She was used to being on the boat more then she was on solid land.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
“Indeed, I was starting to get a bit anxious. I’m looking forward to seeing this mansion.”

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Silver just had a bag and a backpack. She hopped off the boat, stretching her wings in a similar manner before proceeding to look around and walk forward a bit, though she did not leave the group. “Nice place, this island.”

@Dave33333  
@neutralgrey  
@Steve61594  
“Yeah, same here. I just want to put my stuff away and catch some of those waves!”
 
Gerry walked unsteadily down the dock. He wasn’t carrying anything with him.
 
They arrived onto the shore, where there was a rocky path that led into some woods.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Dana was greener than usual. Looked like she was gonna vomit.

@Dave33333  
“…Uh…?” Dash say Dana and frowned with concern. “You… you okay there, Dana?”
 
“Hold on.” Gerry reached into his pocket and pulled out a wrinkled paper bag. “Need this?” He handed the bag to Dana.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Dana quickly nodded, took the bag, and vomited.
 
Dana: _{I wanna go back on the boat.}

@Dave33333  
All of a sudden, a voice came seemingly out of nowhere.
 
“Well, if you want to return to the boat, you still have time.”
 
Dash let out a little gasp of surprise. “Who said that?” She set her bag down and jumped into the air, looking around for the source of the sound.
 
Gerry frowned. “Mr. Price.”

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Silver replied to Gerry, “Who’s Mr. Price?”

@Steve61594  
“our host… did you even read the invitation?”

@Steve61594  
“He’s the one who owns the mansion and issued the challenge. Remember?” Gerry raised an eyebrow, surprised that Silver didn’t remember this.
 
“I am Mr. Price,” the voice said. “I assume this is Gerry who is talking?”
 
“Where are you?” Dash asked, flying among the trees and searching for a source for the voice. “Show yourself!”
 
“My, my, you sound like a feisty one!” the voice spoke up again. “Do not worry, I will join you guys eventually. Right now, I am just sorting things out with my wife.”
 
Dash quickly found the source of the sound: a speaker that was attached to one of the trees.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
“maybe you could tell us exactly what the challenge here is, the island has clean water, plenty of fruit and no particularly aggressive predators, i can’t find a parkour of challenges either so gameshow is out too… i can’t seem to find a reason we wouldn’t be alive at the end of the second day unless you have a private army with guns arrayed against us.”

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Dana showed no signs of giving up, though, she is practically the uninvited guest.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
Meanwhile, Annabelle sat on her chair while she read a book. Upon hearing her husband speak to their guests through the intercom she rolled her eyes. “Playing with your toys again darling?”

@neutralgrey  
Somewhere in a room inside the mansion, Mr. Price turned to Annabelle and smirked. “Hey, this was your idea, you know.” He then turned the intercom back on and spoke to them again.
 
“I will tell you all I know at dinner time. Legends have it that this island… is possessed. Surely you have heard all about the deaths that have occurred here, right?”
 
@Cerebrate19  
@Dave33333  
Back on the beach, Gerry nodded. “Yes, I told them all about it. About how I was there.”
 
“Ah, yes, Gerry,” the voice replied. “Well, for the time being, I suggest finding your rooms and getting settled in. There are smaller cabins for you further down this trail. You will find the island itself easy to navigate. There are signs pointing you to the beach, to the hotsprings, to your cabins, and to my mansion when it comes time for dinner.”
 
“Will you actually show yourself at dinner time?” Dash asked.
 
“But of course! What kind of host would I be not to join my own guests? Anyway, I hope you all find your rooms satisfactory. Right now, I have other business to attend to. Until then.”
 
There was silence afterwards.

@TheSadScubaDiver  
“he completely ignored everything i said… and you lot aren’t listening either, are you?”
 
he just sighs as he makes his way along the trail to find himself a cabin.

@Cerebrate19  
Silver looked to him, a tad bit annoyed. “I heard you. I don’t understand it either. It’s either a setup, a scam, or there’s something we don’t quite understand.”

@Cerebrate19  
(He did answer. See the part that said, “I will tell you all I know at dinner time. Legends have it that this island… is possessed. Surely you have heard all about the deaths that have occurred here, right?”)
 
@Steve61594  
Dash frowned. “Well, he said he’d tell us at dinner time. Might as well get settled in until then, right?” She landed back down and gathered her bags.

@Cerebrate19  
Dana: …I heard… I mean, he’ll probably throw a light show to scare us off.
 
Dana half believed what she said.
