Congratulations on completing the first 24 hours of Survivor: A Wes Anderson Production! In recognition of this momentous milestone, I have come to provide stimulation in the form of SPECTATOR ENGAGEMENT. As a note, please do be informed that these questions are being posted to every confessional in identical form. These are not individualized at all - please do not read any intent to guide or influence you, as this would most certainly breach some form of journalistic integrity that I surely hold dear as... I think my character is a journalist? Okay, I'm doing the thing where I type out all my thoughts and I've lost the plot. HERE COME THE QUESTIONS--------

1. With nothing to do but network with your tribe, you will hopefully have learned something about those who you will live with, fight alongside, and ultimately cut loose. What is the most interesting, funniest, or just plain weird thing that you now know about one of your tribemates?

2. Your first challenge has brought with it an interesting conundrum in the form of competing goals to vie for. What do you most hope to achieve when the Flea Market closes? What do you believe your tribemates will reach for?

3. As a hypothetical, consider the following:
"Someone is targeting you to be the next vote-out should your tribe to go Tribal Council. Who is it? Why do they want you gone? Who will you rely on to stay in the game? How worried are you that such a situation might arise?"

Thank you dear, and do remember to have fun!

1. The first thing that comes to mind is my conversation with Foxy about them practicing Wicca, though I don't know how many other people Foxy has talked about that with! Possibly lots? It was actually a big reason why I was drawn to Foxy initially but I don't think I am active enough for Foxy's liking.

2. I truly don't care to gain anything tangible from this challenge, outside of tribal immunity (and even that is not so important. I know I'm in potential danger, but in some ways a tribal council right now would be too thrilling for me to pass up). I think those that have a higher social standing will feel more able to reach out for items and it's fairly likely that a group/alliance has even been created for such a purpose. I am okay with being quite obviously not part of such an alliance.

3. I believe there are people who would see me as a potentially easy vote, and I think that Steve has the least reason to actually like me. Rat, Max and Klaus are also likely to feel indifferent to me (which is just as bad). The others I do see more potential with, but at the beginning of the game, who doesn't want an easy vote?

Snoopy, I'm DSL, please forgive me.

Also I probably do dislike people, but I haven't gotten around to actually acknowledging that yet.

Chapter 1


Like the grand opening of a grand hotel, the game has begun!

And much like the Grand Budapest Hotel itself, I feel a slightly drab version of what I once was. My tower of white hair has lost the spark and colour that it used to radiate, my skin not as smooth and supple, my body not as sprightly.
I may hobble through this game with a slight limp, less swift than the young whippersnappers who think they're all that.

But, I still have a trick or two hidden within my hair tower. After all, I had M. Gustave drooling over me (or was it my fortune? I couldn't quite tell) for twenty years!! Surely I've still got it. I will be the forbidden fruit for all, and if there is not enough of me to go around... well... so be it!

The reality is that I no longer have the patience for safe widespread appeasement. Sometimes I will lose my patience. Sometimes I will let the weird go just a little too far.

For example, I don't think Steve appreciated my roleplaying as a ghost as much as I had hoped:



(I thought that with his professed love of Wes Anderson movies he would have an appreciation for the weird and wacky... but apparently not)

--

Foxy Fox did not appear enticed by my roleplaying as a cougar, when I told Rat that they are the fairest of them all, Rat said I was wrong, and NO ONE seems to want to talk about death with me.

But no matter!

I will be a defender against ageism...



--

I will be merciful...



--

And...

most of all...

I shall be a linguist!!

Now if you're wanting actual content on what's going on with the tribe I really can't help you. I haven't even worked out if everyone in my tribe is active yet, plus it's not like I've actually had productive conversations with anyone. The best I've got is some sort of encrypted missive from Buckley:



The first one's easy because he's just saying that Foxy Fox talks a lot, which he does. I don't think Buckley is necessarily saying that's a bad thing though.
The opinion of Klaus, (who I haven't heard from) appears negative? But then It makes me worried because I am clearly also "barking mad".
I think he likes Francis, which would be good because I like Francis too! If I were to read into this message more, I would perhaps guess that Francis also knows how to communicate in dog language, but that might be going a bit far.
And yeah I don't know with Peter. Is Buckley just saying he's boring?

I wonder how long they'll put up with me for...
