INTRO

Whoever you are, wherever you were, the last thing you remember is the salty smell of the sea breeze and a distinct tickle of electricity across your body. Enough to cause alarm perhaps, but in the next moment it all goes black, or blue to be more precise. When you stir into consciousness, those fuzzy sensations are all that you have as an explanation, though there's certainly more to experience around you.

The warm bright rays of the sun, the rhythmic cresting of the waves into the shore, the unfortunate feeling of sand sticking to you everywhere, because you're lying flat on your back on a beach without a beach towel. At least you're not alone, and at least it doesn't seem like you've been completely dumped unceremoniously, as there's orderly space between you and the 27 others who share your predicament. Whoever left you here probably could have dumped you into a pile, but they have better manners than that.

However you decide to react to your sudden vacation, you'll find that you're dressed just as you last recall and that you have at least one possession of yours on hand. Whatever else you had on you appears to be affected by baggage routing, unfortunately. You'll also find a key inscribed with a particular bird and a strange device in your pocket, ostenstibly some type of cellphone from the period when blackberrys were all the rage. A pop-up window will greet you when you turn on the device, prompting you to pick a username (this pop-up can be ignored for up to 24 hours) and also walking you through a basic tutorial on its functions. For now, it seems like the public network isn't running, but the direct message function is availiable. It ends with a cheerful blurb instructing that "For further questions and help, please contact one of the hotel staff!"

As there's nary a soul that seems to actually work here on the beach proper, it might be worth it to explore. Around the resort are robots manning the buffet, sweeping, and even making cocktails if you want to drink your problems away. While they'll answer to basic commands, provide you with a map of the island, or even be happy to tell you the weather, they're incapable of engaging in any meaningful dialogue. Any questions or demands they can't answer will yield the statement to please contact the administrators.

Whoever they may be, but they'll show their faces eventually. Probably.

((OOC: Welcome to Last Resort! Poke a mod in the discord if you have any questions. The NPC meet and greet will take place at 5PM EST/2PM PST today! ))

Kanon just wants a drink. What, is that not allowed now?

[Said like she wasn't obviously keeping an eye out for people. She's just, so subtle, this girl.]

[immortalpoet]

I see.

[He's folding his arms now, but not before noticing his sword resting in the sands beside where he was. He pulls it out.]

What was the last thing you remember before waking up?

[townmusician]

I would have figured that, with your whole “don’t care about music” thing.

[Chuuya also gives off the vibes of someone who probably wouldn’t follow male idols anyways, but maybe that’s just because he seems too cool…]

What do you do, then? You’re not actually a model, are you?

Bar

[finalforte]

[Looking him up and down before casually striding behind the bar herself.]

Kanon can mix her own drinks ♪

[hearnoplague]

What? [ How do you not know who he- Oh wait, most of these weird apes are from... Elsewhere, aren't they? ] Hmph...

If you must know, [ he puts a hand on his chest ] I am Kallamar, Lord of Anchordeep and a Bishop of the Old Faith.

And before you comment on my appearance, the last thing I remember was having to deal with a heretical vessel who had been wreaking havoc through our lands. I suspect whatever they did to me during our latest encounter resulted in me becoming mortal... Somehow.

[ He seems to be leaving out some details here, but does he really have to explain himself to someone addressing him so rudely? ]

[gravitys]

It's my name, asshole.

[divector]

It certainly is with enough force.

[ At least the strange man didn't reply with something like "do you even lift, bro?". He then jumps down from the top of tree, coconut and all. ]

Hand it over, I'll take responsibility and open it.

[gravitys]

The scent of the sea and a jolt of electricity. You?

[ It's not like this is top secret information, so. IGNORING THE CLOWN CARNIVORE COMMENT BECAUSE HE THINKS IT'S DUMB... ]

[immortalpoet]

....Well, well, well. I thought seeing the Purple Tear after that Library mess was a surprise.

[Not that they've met, but her knowledge of his rank, and what she wears...it smells like Liu all over. And the last time a lady looked so high rank in Liu was....well. He can make a guess.]

You're taking the words out of my mouth. Makes one wonder what kind of Singularity nonsense or whatever is behind this.

[passetemps]

Hm. I know not of what you speak... but perhaps my range of knowledge is simply too unconventional.

[gravitys]

I'm not the cops? Just wanted to know if you needed something since you were looking at me.

[ He's not even annoyed about it, he was just kind of curious. ]

[divector]

Oh cute, like a mouse. And I'm Ibuki for now.

[hearnoplague]

Of course not! What ridiculous customs your country must have!

[townmusician]

[gently presses “x”.]

Yeah, I’m an idol…

[She’s definitely not an actual fan, which means he doesn’t super have to worry about the impression he’s making.]

This isn’t the kind of stuff I’d usually sing.

[gravitys]

Scent of a sea breeze...and a jolt of electricity.

[ A shrug. ]

You?

[immortalpoet]

Big words. I would take my chances.

[He lets the coconut remnants drop to the ground with a grimace, wiping his hand off on his own pants.]

No. Don't think I'd care to. Why did you throw it at me?

[gravitys]

I'm a company executive.

[ Leaves out the part where the company is the mafia, for now. ]

Wake up

[butcherspice]

[Ok. That’s a talking squid. Not something you see every day where Billy is from, but then again, there are some Supes that are massive freaks, so it’s not completely out of the question.]

Easy, Kraken, don’t blow a gasket. I ain’t any more sure than you are about what’s what.

But if you ask me, we’re here for something real nasty if we’re bein’ snatched up and tossed on a deserted island. Little morsel like you better watch yourself.

[Ten minutes into the hostage situation and he’s already bullying a squid. What a dick.]

[townmusician]

Do you even have a rank right now? We’re in some weird robot resort, not a… military base or anything.

[He won’t even bother promising to not make problems.]

[gravitys]

It ain't cute...

[ YOU ALL SUCK WHY IS TOUCAN LIKE THIS ]

[gravitys]

[ Yeah okay basically none of that made sense to him??? ]

Okay, so, Kallamar. I'm Chuuya.

[conceivesfrenzy]

[ there's a giggle off to the side as the robot hits the ground, along. ]

Wow, mister! You really showed it who's boss!

[ clap clap clap clap ]

1.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Merlin is already standing nearby, looking pleasant despite the island sun, and sand guaranteed to get in each nook and cranny of people's clothing or footwear. In fact, he looks practically resplendent, smiling over at Zelkov when he levels his wary gaze in his direction. ]

No.

And I suppose you haven't been here all that often either, have you?

[ He holds up a flower he has summoned as if this is all normal and this isn't strange at all. ]

A flower to hold in these trying times?

ii. domo arigatou mr roboto;

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ What a strange place to be, isn't it? And an odd place to be...

Speaking of oddities, though, there is suddenly a mage in here! When did he come in? Who knows. It's probably fine. Either way, he will come on over to Wang Lu as he's inspecting the furbots, leaning on over as well to make like he's inspecting with him, but not seriously looking on over when the question is directed his way, turning his head, seeming to inspect the man in front of him. ]

An illusion?

Now that would be positively surprising, wouldn't it? Or maybe it'd be unsurprisingly? Hmm...it's hard to tell when I'm debating this on my own.

Now, now, tell me:

Which one would you think it'd be for sure?

[divector]

[ He keeps smiling and talking, as if any of the threats spoken never happened. ]

I've thrown one to everyone passing by. We could all use some breakfast this time of day. Especially you, your complexion looks rather unhealthy. Are you eating well?
