WELCOME

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! ))

There's nothing Kanon needs to be scared of!
skyworp: (I got rigor mortis)

[personal profile] skyworp 2023-05-14 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, yes. There’s nothing we truly need to be afraid of. But we all are. Unless Kanon is well and truly fearless?
finalforte: ([Sulk] and notice me!!)

[personal profile] finalforte 2023-05-14 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
If there's nothing to be afraid of, why would Kanon be scared?

[Like, duh.]

Is that lump of metal for brains not working?
skyworp: (I'm cut from a different kind of meat)

[personal profile] skyworp 2023-05-14 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He taps the side of his head.]

Better than ever.

[And he tilts it to the side.]

Maybe you’ll find out one day. Or maybe you won’t. Either way, we’re having fun, aren’t we?
finalforte: ([Sulk] to my shoes)

[personal profile] finalforte 2023-05-15 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Huff!]

You call this fun?
skyworp: (I got rigor mortis)

[personal profile] skyworp 2023-05-15 08:37 am (UTC)(link)
You don’t?
finalforte: ([Think] from the bottom of)

[personal profile] finalforte 2023-05-15 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
No way, there's sooo many gross people here.

[Looking pointedly at him as she says that.]
skyworp: (Forget bored stiff)

[personal profile] skyworp 2023-05-16 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Hah.

[He laughs, and warps just to the other side of her, tilting his head in an owl-like manner.]

You don’t know how to have fun with that?
finalforte: ([Angy] Notice me! Hey!)

[personal profile] finalforte 2023-05-16 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Jumping and backing away from him.]

Are you trying to make Kanon mad?!
skyworp: (Default)

[personal profile] skyworp 2023-05-16 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Not particularly. But I’ve been told I have that affect on others.
finalforte: ([Ew] I shall have no complaints)

[personal profile] finalforte 2023-05-17 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, it seems to be working, because with a dismissive wave of a hand-

there's a small "pop!" of an explosion, just enough to crack his head piece.

A warning shot.
]

Then get out of Kanon's face.
skyworp: (I'm cut from a different kind of meat)

[personal profile] skyworp 2023-05-18 07:51 am (UTC)(link)
[Had Skywarp expected it, he could’ve dodged the attack. But since he underestimates these humans, crack! goes his headpiece.]

Fine. I’ll oblige.

[He looks startled for a second, but then that characteristic grin returns.]

But Kanon’s an interesting one. Oh, yes. We’ll dance again, you and I.

[With that, and a resounding WORP - he’s gone, finally leaving her be.]
