Wow, I wasn't expecting such a large turnout for my first update. Well, here goes.

Quote from: TheShim
> Light a torch so the grues don't eat me.
4: You search around, and find a stick next to a tree. The end was covered in enough sap to keep part of it burning. You take out a match, light it, and ignite the stick. You now have a working Torch in the middle of broad daylight, in a grassy field. Also, there do not appear to be any Grue nearby.

Quote from: Creepy Doll.S
> Look around for anyone else.
5: Glancing around, you see many people that have suddenly been transported into the middle of the field. You do not know where any of them are coming from, but many of them have stood up. One has just light a torch, and the others seem to be doing other things as well. You wait patiently and watch everything unfold before you decide if you want to speak with them

Quote from: NeoSerela
>Hug my pillow to my chest protectively
2: You instinctively reach for your pillow that was on the bed you were recently sleeping on, to find that since you are no longer in bed, there is no pillow to hug to your chest. You feel slightly cold, and somewhat frightened.

Quote from: demonbman
>Build up defences.
5: You quickly dig into the ground, and pile dirt to the side. Within a matter of moments, you have carved out enough of a hole to hide in, and the dirt was placed just right so that you can peer over the mound from the bottom of the hole without exposing yourself too much. Coincidentally, everyone else is standing on the other side of the mound. No one has made a move yet.

Quote from: Valkyrie Lupia Blitzer
>Warp self into Iku Quest-era Gensokyo.
3: It turns out, you were already in Gensokyo. Upon realizing this, you look up towards the sky to watch out for the Islands, but spot none. As you are looking, suddenly the land below you gives way, and starts to drop. Everyone standing on the Grassy field by the end of the update must Roll to Dodge! to avoid taking damage from the fall.

Quote from: HangedHourai
>Look around for some sort of shelter.
1: You search for a place to hide once the ground starts falling, but you find that you can no longer even reach the ground by the time you start running. You are now surrounded completely by open space.

Quote from: Kilgamayan
> Search for nearby Touhous.
4: As you are falling, you see Mystia flying by. She gives you and odd glance as you continue to drop.

Quote from: Hero999
> Freeze some leaves
3: You pick up some leaves and, having no other option, walk into a nearby building and ask the Cesletial there if they have a freezer. She directs you to the walk-in freeze. You step inside, place the leaves on the shelf, and watch them grow colder. After a little while, it occurs to you that you should probably put them in water, so that the water would freeze to ice with the leaves in it.

Quote from: Drake
> Harakiri
6: Before the Islands decent, you take it upon yourself to commit suicide. You take out a katana blade, and start of slicing through your thighs, cutting off your legs. You then chop off your own off-hand arm, and holding the blade in your teeth, cut off your main arm as well. You then let the blade drop to the ground, and with no other options for holding the blade, you place your neck on the sharp side, and slide yourself left and right, sawing the blade through your neck. You eventually seperate, and for the sake of a proper harakiri, in the final moments your head would normally have after being cut, you grab the blade with your teeth again and guild the blade gently to pierce your stomach. You are now in Hyakugokurou in the form of a wisp, or a "myon" as they are often called. Suffice to say, you no longer have a working body.

Quote from: Arashi Kurobara
> Magical girl transformation
6: Upon the Island's decent, you call out "Magical, Galaxy, Power! Make-Up!" Your broach lights up, and you are stripped of your clothing. Ribbons tie themselves around your naked body, forming gloves, then boots, then a sailor suit uniform. A pin appears in your hair, giving you a new, more primpy hairstyle. You give a pose, showing off your uniform. Suddenly, you're returned to the falling Island, prepared to help others in need and defeat monsters. The monster in question is now standing before you, ready to do battle. He/it will attack if you do not call out your most powerful attack's name!

Quote from: SilentW
>Look for food stuff
2: you quickly glance for peach trees, restaurants, refridgerators, or other such indications of food, and find nothing. You now feel a little more peckish than you previously did.

Quote from: Irmingard von Stein
>Perform a face melting guitar solo.
2: You are hindered by the lack of guitars. Also by the lack of a sound system, and a solid ground to stand on for that matter.

Quote from: nolrai2
> Start penning a epic poem version of EoSD.  In Beowolf era Old English.
3: As you fall, you are suddenly struck by the inspiration to remake the entire script of Embodiment of Scarlet Devil into an epic poem. You take the pen out of your pocket, but find you do not have any paper. not wanting the inspiration to fade, you quickly scribble it onto your bare stomach, upside down so you can read it. You wish you had a ballpoint pen instead.

Quote from: Kiro
>Attempt to fly.
6: You jump from the Island, pushing your entire body away with all the strength of your legs, just before the Island drops below you. The propulsion, combined with the now waning gravity of the Islands, coupled with the fact that you were already so high in the first place, somehow combine together to allow you to reach orbit from that single jump. You are now suspended too high in the air to be pulled towards the earth, and are now orbiting the planet.

Quote from: Bitz
>Be Koishi.
6: You are now Koishi. As a result, you can hear the unconscious thoughts of everybody around you, and it's sort of driving you mad. There are a lot of things people won't even admit to themselves that they think about. A lot of weird things. You are thoroughly disgusted. they continue to barrage you! Roll to Dodge! to keep sanity.

Roll to Dodge!
1: Unfortunately, they crowd your mind and you immediately regret your wish. You are no longer capable of normal thought processes. Bitz has lost

Quote from: Inaba Tewi
> Kick Kiro in the face
5: You rabbit leap into the air off the Islands, and somehow manage to reach orbit, where Kiro currently is. You deliver a wonderful kick towards his Face. Kiro now has to Roll to Dodge! to avoid the kick.

Roll to Dodge!
1: The kick lands squarely in Kiro's face, and he is propelled even further from the planet. Kiro now drifts endlessly in space, with little hope of returning. Inaba Tewi on the other hand, is now diving back towards the Island. Kiro has lost

Quote from: Mr._Bob
>Become The Bob.
3. You strain yourself with psychic thought processes, and somehow manage to give every bob in the universe an Aneurysm except for yourself. You are now the one and only Bob, but unfortunately, several mothers, wifes, girlfriends, and other such people are all angry at you, and will hunt you down.

Quote from: Topos
> Acquire and tame a cat.
2: There are no cats within the Island's perimeter. The parser is glad for this, since the parser would hate to think they would be hurt in the fall.

Quote from: Fightest
> Fight everything.
1: You quickly meditate, and find that you are now at peace with everything. You cast away your weapons as a sign of this, and now greet others in good faith.

Quote from: Okuu
> attempt to sprout wings
2: You concentrate real hard, but no physical alterations to your body occur.

Quote from: Dormio
>Dig a trench.
2. You try, but the Island is too far away now.

Quote from: Diamonds Purvis
>Manifest a Stand.
5. An Eel lamprey stand drops before your very eyes. You hear a voice from above going "oops."

Quote from: Pesskuri
> check pockets
4. You find that your pockets contain the same things they usually do.

Quote from: RosE-Mouse
>Punch the sun.
2: You attempt to throw a punch to the sun, but somehow it is rapidly growing distance.

Quote from: T34G3
>Apply Old Spice Odor Blocker to foil E-Mouse's plans.
3: After much deliberation, you find enough metal and tools to hammer out a rocket. You hastily put as many old spice products into the top, and launch it. You suffer a coughing fit as the device launches itself into the sun. Upon reaching the sun, the rocket explodes and covers it. The chemicals intertwine with the Sun's radiation, and as a result, the entire solar system smells like the man your man could smell like. you briefly ponder if it is somehow a paradox that now all men on earth smell like the man they could smell like.

Quote from: Kasunagi-no-Tsurugi
> Wander aimlessly.
4: You walk around with no direction in mind. You succeed in getting even more lost, but don't make it off the island.

Quote from: barasia
<Searches around for the source of disturbance so i can RAM it!>
4: The source of the disturbance is the Island falling. You don't think ramming it would help.

Suddenly, the Island stops moving, and everyone who is still falling is about to meet with the ground in an unfriendly fasion. Roll to Dodge! the ground!

TheShim:2: The torch provides no help as your body crashes into the ground. You graon loudly as you peel yourself up.
Creepy Doll.S:1: Your interest in how others move about failed to prevent your body from becoming strawberry jam on the floor. Your last thoughts as you are taken to the higen river by Komachi are that Drake was lucky he took the easy way out. Creepy Doll.S has lost
NeoSerela:4: Out of desparation, you imagine yourself into your bed again, and are surprised when you land in something soft and fluffy. It's not your bed, and your pillow isn't there either, but you are glad.
demonbman3: You hang onto your trench for dear life. Once the island's decent stops, you take no more than a bruise to your left shin. (-1 Roll next action)
Valkyrie Lupia Blitzer :4: You gently land on the Island's most grassiest spot. In hindsight, you should have expected to be on the island when you didn't see them in the sky.
HangedHourai:1:Umm ... wow. It's too bad you couldn't find any shelter. HangedHourai has lost
Kilgamayan:6: You grab onto Mystia's torso. She is forced to let go of her Eel lamprey stand in order not to loss any altitude. "oops." she says, and decides kindly enough to carry you to safety despite rudely dropping in.
Hero999:6: Your body is frozen solid as a result of staying in the freezer, and you barely even notice the Island fell in the first place. The Celestial rolls you out and thaws you after the drop.
Arashi Kurobara:5: This Drop means nothing for Galaxy Sailor! (+1 roll)
SilentW:2: you take a heavy blow to your stomach. It wouldn't have felt as bad as it did if it weren't completely empty. Then again, at least you didn't throw up.
Irmingard von Stein:6:As you hit the ground, it break beneath your feet. From the broke earth, a Guitar pops out, and you catch it smoothly. You finally get the chance to make your guitar solo for a small while.
nolrai2:1: You land on the Island writing side down. Your final regret is that you are bleeding all over the words you have written down so far. nolrai2 has lost!
Inaba Tewi:2: After finally pulling your torso out of the ground, and sit down and lament on, despite how awesome it was kicking Kiro into deep space, you should have focused on the landing as well.
Mr._Bob:3: The only thing preventing you from cusioning your fall with your newfound psychic abilities is that you already exerted yourself. Fortunately, you didn't take more than a few bruises. (-1 roll)
Topos:2: Because you did not have any cats helping you, you were unable to land on your feet.
Fightest:5: After having made peace with everything, the Ground apologizes to you for moving away so suddenly. You show it forgiveness, and it gives you it's blessings as a result (+1 roll)
Okuu:6: You land gracefully on your feet. It appears your wings didn't appear not due to lack of effort, but because your body was resistance to forceful changes, like wishing for wings, or the ground hitting you.
Dormio:4: You are glad you didn't dig your trench now, as that only would have forced you to fall further than you did.
Diamonds Purvis:4: thinking quickly, you hide yourself on top of the front cover that sits out in front of the stand. It works perfectly.
Pesskuri:3:You quickly take out a piece of chewing gum, smack it up, and blow a bubble. It doesn't work as effectively as the cartoon lead you to believe, but it does let you land more softly. (-1)
RosE-Mouse:2:You continue to wonder why the sun is moving away so quickly, when it hits you. It hit you hard. The sun may have won this round, but that stench won't be around for long!
T34G3:6: Suddenly, the Man who now every man smells like rides up on his horse, and thanking you for spreading the joy towards all of the solar system, gives you two tickets to the thing you love. Look down. Look up. Now they're diamonds.
Kasunagi-no-Tsurugi:5: As you wander around, you step off of the island for a brief moment. Then you step back onto the island once it stopped. You're not certain how you did that, but then again you're still not certain where you are. (+1 roll)
barasia:1: You attempt to ram a falling island after it had stopped falling. Luckily, the Island felt the full force of the ramming attempt. Unfortunately, due to Newton's third law, so did you. barasia has lost!

Two rules I forgot to mention:
1. you may not make a repeating action. If your action produces the same intended effect as the action you made in the previous update, I will ignore it, and consider it invalid.
2. If you lose, you have lost (obviously) and anyone not losing can be considered winning. You may still submit actions if you have lost, but they will not take effect unless you roll a six.

Phew. That took two hours to write.

As of Valkyrie Lupia Blitzer's roll, yes. Until then, it was a grassy field. That should hopefully give anyone wondering an idea of how this works :3

It appears your wings didn't appear not due to lack of effort, but because your body was resistance to forceful changes, like wishing for wings, or the ground hitting you.

Oh I gotta ask a question, since I got a roll 6 to dodge when there was nothing to counterattack, does that mean I have some kind of boon (resistant to changes whoo?) or did I just get a nice message/graze?
