Well you sort of already knew Evan wasn't finished, so no surprises there! If the picture don't show up I'll have a little work to do, so I may leave a typical oops message in it's place until I can remedy the situation. That's if no one can see them. Enjoy! :mrgreen:
Evan is awoken by the sound of seagulls crying overhead and the water gently lapping against the island where he finds himself the next morning. He seems to have lost his shorts! :oops:

He's a bit shocked to have nothing but his underwear on, though it pales in comparison to being alive! He spends a moment to give thanks to anything and everything. :D

Evan: "Whoa..."
Whoa is right buddy, you're a long way from Kansas!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pgUgxEovPJd1WAyPiDLoxOgaO4R6tcSaAynk6QdlmrKU0S0f-YHi5lV279H1IFtVaxfYLv6kemgGL-qFVDcX6g3IznUYzFwHzKVZXXAi9qyYM0Avf9n06j5nzFlJJF7od/Screenshot-3.jpg
So where is he exactly? You guessed it, he's on an island.

Welcome to Paradise my friend!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pGHESTLfBio8NcfdnPXFmYgnzJAWKD5hAEfDHj_DCf_erCFLKZVs2AmX1Axr9H4T25VHvrGRjGelOHLb-I9A1UZQTuMA90itpZmmmI_ZZ8C_xqg6eDYTUy3L0cn3CLIIu/Screenshot-5.jpg
Evan's first taste of island culture, a giant stone head that looks like it's seen better days.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2px-opLRUcs5Fi8887hMJ4cu3iXtMxHs71CbsPXYZsx8liDQzBRSDVePNNcRg24YoPQ8TsrBq9saOmFuA83riiGYGeZhaeNkKRj6h93-3zBpRwO1QdzA_poxGSdZnJBmio/Screenshot-7.jpg
It's starting to look like the whole island has seen better days, the remains of an old burned down building catch his eye. It didn't look particularly old...but what it used to be remains a mystery.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2psqpphLZcSGM3KRX18Wgtqf9aa_eCgBYhUEUNM9KMCbJtDaiGXKlUNT3n_BcP-7nCjKSwtKsdzQtS3ip_ItAUY_vLdwRrkvupQssl5xJgMahqQFo3oJW91OU9VfRDyV86/Screenshot-6.jpg
As he treks across the island to get his bearings, he comes across a stone with a small indent that collected some rain water. Good thing because he's really thirsty! It looks fairly safe so he has a good handful or two. Safe, but not tasty. :?
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pM2HA3VJ2wkPVDTjw0R2JGidtSJ8SK1T4tZX8XO6t8o_5UZDKisngAIt99xeN1IksGTsI-witezGjTJ_3jZOnW6LbbFoqXXv4QdH1MdAQf0mS5eM210L-hQkJiFHCAacy/Screenshot-8.jpg
It appears that he is not alone. Land Ho! He's not very anxious to go swimming any time soon though. :roll:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pM-EHTTgQho_UnAXvqqa4dJvvWQgmq3rJYEY7R20WVKkPiob5BX-9K512vNu4zdGBbkJuHC9ezdGzcaSBaLvPW7FF625DOVqKmP7bP0FN8B5wwvt8Qo2vLNiZqu3GKLqM/Screenshot-9.jpg
Someone was definitely here but if the cannon and pottery are any clue, Evan's a bit late to the party by a few centuries. :lol:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2ps2sziflPPhU3ZvbIvxewCi99AdDKifCVxyG9MGrqxMwjFjatlOQyQ7vlFDxnV7IH7FOWwbPKi0HPBrgtlpsOh0ayHZ8teQDzZmMISdv1kEjJevMedVO-1NhlgpmfkR6m/Screenshot-10.jpg
Wasting little time, he drags the boxes out a bit so he can take a look at them. One appears to hold some clothing! He could definitely use some right now, that's for sure.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pk57pcZ5ezD2-9yCoJPlVlIkYwDzJtdhTc7ybUr1R4XF22rY_eYTKQiMNv3-AeUs122AR_NCnr_z768tzHrf54Pt_5yFImVtuuxZ1_iryXlquMxymxq6gLLsRFsaDqak3/Screenshot-11.jpg
Evan's first discovery seems to be a newer addition by some recent visitors. It's a swanky pair of swim trunks! Not really his style, but it's better than cruising around in his underwear.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pyH2Q6QgMHFwGlWoOG9N7h92qWcCAmJde8R5HEcIZErLK64KvJgeNewYcOhdb3Z0wLbdENg_MGEdsZ352aBaW6SdFFWDZm0cm-_uBfFaPHNTyiGQHRKy6k8xaffCuZMzz/Screenshot-12.jpg
He tries on the next set of clothing he drags out of the box. Ahoy Matey! It's really hot in those clothes though, so he keeps digging. What he finds next....is awesome!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pi5CZfXhBFToSk_JzsaQcMQ0J-1b9OG59ZdMPQPZxRbWgxHrjxE-qOnMy9JP1Ecb1UvLLBOcDeGATqqAOWozk0GO7KRwCdmkHwjFegIDCtgvOvmwLiQh5iGrkdAO4vO1P/Screenshot-13.jpg
Evan has found the most outrageously cool outfit on the entire planet! Oh yeah. 8)
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pcDQ7aWBFLxQfx5eWvrO4Ku36GolojRUV1yjQvD3izTXXfNE9nfs-xXel2DFUbIlBNgPIejlOk7w622b8C5UYhKMye34xwh3N8JMf7Yif_fVCsrqKe_CvdhsDmsUOxqh-/Screenshot-14.jpg
His attire seems to have a mystical property of additional swagger, because Evan feels like nothing less than a mighty warrior from ancient times!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p3dneNrsLPj8RUgZhWPrA0E1GQMxiHS5F001PZq45ZvcC9PblH5_qmIK8ad6PX-b1tOUVWHz8dQ7MYVgjPEqu2SIXOVSD--fCaA_PqJ-a2NMAMjRoBRlWJSmba6ABk4IC/Screenshot-15.jpg
Err, check that...looks like he might be feeling a bit green around the gills! :(
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pBIDbLyqDt1piz6zzZ1CjHScHeD75JyU_Bj0dFKAGZi-OYbzsFpJ_qRW6SvGdchIm9gJcsL1SuGJxTY-gZ3HzkY9KePJBQHG8f1btyhvoO9ixTOtb3v_IkI8qpe5NmoDK/Screenshot-16.jpg
Evan takes a moment to rest on one of the crates, poor fellow. Deep breaths man!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pTyOcaB3vJ2-q7CIJsHGO2CGcAvLcBsYYHS4NjtDT8a_CQE1_1nNpdtFEGTOpZYPhoz_meZdGL08j-sxncTgb1TXn7SLtNJo_IZ9kGv75OaE1A2wuKjgjU9hno5-N_eHd/Screenshot-19.jpg
After a little rest he feels better and continues on. He comes upon some old ruined stairs, if anything the previous inhabitants of the island had style!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2ph-EkCNQaHV7FDAD12QIam3U_8PEhlotQ8Kogkfn0JH39dk82xEQfUbOPudT-PjaipsPaRIbrK5OlCoFlrj9MV4Qgn4WrvR3PvlaoPtJ-kUSg71vKqgfJhvyvgSUDpjpK/Screenshot-18.jpg
He takes a moment to observe the ocean on the far side of the island, no way would he make it that far. It seems he has only one path to salvation.
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p0S83-RTijxSHhyOeM2hLDpDXRLAHhgxpGtaAxtlbFwcsR0F3Q_l0P2QcROEbGQiFBMDPaUqlaYNmM0alZatsZgXfJDJPyHAld_B990wWmUEMThC1lSLsktB-xMWdpe3K/Screenshot-20.jpg
Ooo, look at that! Grapes! At least Evan is pretty sure they're grapes. :shock:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pb8bn_D8bYSuKXAIkCIGIC_QxRQWc9uPN9zpUf4JTbcl6XStfpY8oj1M6FHx8x5FQZ9YXPQLIF8TSe2TPJyZOryMNjir3UCCkKxtTNjyO6niY3DsdzY5poYnEoniCr4ds/Screenshot-22.jpg
Evan wanders back up to the stone head while snacking on the alleged grapes to look for other foodstuffs. His search is interrupted however! :-o
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pAerpQUpjKvlFh-aecQ3zp9MQ062hkDlgsroccFdUTAnokvaGAbcnsoG2LHwacbgQliV09nGHVx5ZjiczXTXjKyHKFyWOOU-eQgizvTm94j7YKpvz6tHXXmLXQWujpVg9/Screenshot-23.jpg
Evan is startled by a thundering voice that rumbles the ground beneath him! Evan instinctively covers his head in fear! :shock:
Mysterious Voice: "WHO DARES SET FOOT ON MY ISLAND!!!"
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p2p1XudjFSPULfc4QNDOILbNCQuMucZqBW5llGXd5FhuW_vbDJh8pTa7ZXHHIsn5wzolMeHGSoUZlr9YA75WHMpqzBBRaBImkdwLblp7Atg96qm287nZAyb3rnu0YLnYg/Screenshot-24.jpg
He turns around to confront the owner of the voice...Evan eyeballs the stone head suspiciously. No way...talking stone heads? Pfft!
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pqGKNmtslMTE1abNkyz-D5qYrfpKSqveSB0Clb62G9SNzdlcjqYqFnpjoHIbWg62484bSyYv1Lfd3arwURAinZOPULO99oeo_-kQuNBbx_16NaqqjFS-8ppJSgoYEVRxM/Screenshot-25.jpg
Mysterious Voice: "I ASKED YOU A QUESTION!"
Evan: "There's no such thing as talking stone heads, I am not crazy!"
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p04Cu7eqE-R9ETRbqlzk3TBZGYMXw37m3rdCYTLAjiOZ45Zho943KAMF_3gPtjDSEjVyFqCb9_GuvLqvD1p2QHxUIJ2zDnW2vE8jkkxPnJBfvu8rDl5lmN2sed88JRrKk/Screenshot-27.jpg
Mysterious Voice: "You...you are different than the others. I sense...magic within you."
Evan: *thinking* "Maybe there really is such a thing as talking stone heads."
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pdaHS43OePHAlN0iwkhGxr7JQX4daMf05I600vh-qt7ccpojOxKi-bMouEojtCEBRzmIMETIvchlXspsMHToCPOd4pHN-wBivxVlNbqbpPeTerJmkoNPZSveFfo4Bupjj/Screenshot-28.jpg
Evan: "A-are...are you, real?"
Mysterious Voice: "As real as the ground you stand on, I will ask again. Who are you to set your puny mortal feet on MY island?"
Evan: "Uehm...my name is Evan. Now if you'll excuse me...I'll just be going now." :-o
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pY9TON4bvHaK1f0wcP-1ZL9kGXQnzwWwYWsTEMBIFETOxcQQ6Uql-2cpplk5dADNTlhNRflErwJVUzdlSicw5rx89YF8mFScSO64OPfv34qeWI95bzvD6PrsGy-2O5xMf/Screenshot-29.jpg
Evan: *thinking* "Omg omg omg, I have to get away from here!"
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pUTpAEmHFz7ePj10nFnDy7IA6Z-CKCFu7Rb8WZmR8mjoH0Lc6HvmQQkdIxxY8twlDb1gs85crw2sOLEoZpaBJSgeEVh2UvYXYJs1_1qRWL-8cWuoUa7SIH3ZJmuGhuRZ5/Screenshot-31.jpg
But then he saw something in the water....
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pTToNRY4elCjSnOVyLeCknk7uUwm8yFN8Kzy57ujC0SO9pNlV3vpyqbGN7ta8B9zN4cgpJEWhwMuYeqbNmn61RIoRYMBqS6fh8TnEskGt-8BSUfM9-1jCF25IGHvHcCl6/Screenshot-33.jpg
Sharks! Evan wasn't afraid of the water, but sharks? Oh yeah. :shock:
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2p1Rdf99IpkdVhUfmmg1cESSTSgPvQrYp3LAlkHBuTY-oRJWyBLRNIG5oWFAXa_Cgw6_D0IR9q-HO2DSdYqX3M9CNXPpLsBZMsyS4t7mRY-0EgDXl_pJ1AfqyVawtLR2xu/Screenshot-32.jpg
Now Evan had a choice....face the talking stone head monster, or brave shark infested waters and possibly be eaten alive. Decisions....decisions. :?
https://huxiea.sn2.livefilestore.com/y2pXCQMrx0hDa05B6TdjlfC0UgaNve2D0PeCSiz5EfBLM0zfVn00lzYn2nPq34HRe6i5lMbhjVZWHjrqEhd9X3EFFm4OdomqBe-ubKzrxen3XHZq6Qg7-9kCCh8gUgklIy1/Screenshot-34.jpg
What will he do? Shall he make his escape from the creepy haunted island, or will his fear of sharks force him to confront the almighty stone head? Evan's ocean trek may just have been the least of his troubles.
