To clarify, for the beach episode, this is an AU where none of us know each other right?

Correct ^_^ only exception being if people are collabing together and want their characters to have preexisting familiarity. Example: I'll ask [@Yankee] if he wants Adel and Khor to arrive together, and whether it was organized between them as characters (they're friends) or Adel picked up some random hitch hiker (they don't know each other). 

EDIT: Savant's point is also good! Characters would absolutely be welcome to know things about each other to help interactions along~.
