Island Spotlight
The island for the month is...
[Distance from Isla Empieza]: Three weeks.
[Terrain]: One doesn't need to search hard for this island. Even when the island is out of sight, the sweet smell alone lures in travelrs from all over. Absolutely everything on the island is made of sweets of some sort! Even the dirt is not actually dirt, but made up of vast amounts of crushed brownies, chocolate cake, and cocoa powder. The grass if made of thin, green-colored licorice where lollipop flowers grow. Honey bees are actually honey! The trees are made of saltwater taffy and filled with caramel sap. The life forms are made up of various sweets. Birds adorned with feathers made of cotton candy, ants that are actually dark chocolate morsels, sour patch rhinos, gummy monkeys, butterflies that leave a trail of powdered sugar in in various colors. There is a lake made of chocolate milk, which comes from a tall waterfall (but, you know, no actual water), where marshmallow fish swim in happily.
The possibilities are truly endless!
There is no water on the island, so bring your own!
[Weather]: The weather is cool in order to keep everything from melting. It doesn't get higher than 50F/10C. The nights can be pretty cold. When it rains, it pours down chocolate and occasionally floods the land. The clouds are pink and fluffy on a sunny day, dark red when a storm comes through. When it snows in the winter, each snowflake is made from...SALT! It's the only season that is truly harsh on this island, because everything either melts, dries to nothingness, or makes everything taste awful! But the snowflakes are at least beautiful?
[Is the island inhabited?]: Yes, by candy animals and insects!
[If so, what is the culture like here?]: Pretty sweet! But seriously, it isn't any different from a regular jungle besides the weather and candy creatures.
[Island peculiarities]: The one thing anyone will notice first is the massive mountain made of bitter chocolate. There are pools of a green liquid all about the base, and only about the base. The scent is very similar to soda, and upon tasting it, one will discover that it is indeed that! However, one will instantly become addicted to the liquid and start seeing sounds, tasting colors, and be in a constant haze of euphoria. It's literally a liquid high! Yet once you try it, you'll never want to leave the island. Continuous consumption of the green liquid will result in a sugar induced coma, and eventually death.
But what a way to go!
Inside the mountain, upon inspection, will find beautiful jewels (made of candy, of course) adorned all over the walls, as well as massive, boulder-like golems standing at twenty feet tall guarding them. Legends call them Jawbreakers, and they do earn their name. No one knows how to defeat them, as their tough exterior makes it nearly impossible to penetrate. It's best to run and dodge, for they are not that bright.
There is one jewel, covered in every other jewel inside, that is the precious treasure of the Jawbreakers. It's said to worth more than any jewel in this world, and it's only the side of one's head. It's supposed to taste like no other treat in the universe, and can only be made once every ten thousand years. No one has ever been able to take it.
Finally, reaching this island is not so simple as just sailing there. Your crew must:
1. BELIEVE IN THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP!!
2. Once the first condition is met, a rainbow wall will appear, but it won't let your ship in just yet. Trying to push forward will result in your ship being pushed back twice as much. You'll have to sing a song. It has to be a happy song, though! Nothing above a G rating! At least one person has to sing. The only hint given is the music wafting through the air.
With multiple trips, multiple songs need to be sung. The second visit will require two songs, the third three songs, and so forth.
3. Once condition #2 is met, the rainbow will pull you inside gently through the rainbow.
