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! ))

Cutting's not my style either. Maybe you'll see what it is sometime.

[townmusician]

Yeah, I'm sure it'll be suuuuper impressive, Rapt0r-san.

[rapt0r]

This from the normie who has no special abilities at all?

[townmusician]

[JUST KICK HIM WHILE HE'S DOWN...]

How do I know you can do anything? For all I know you're just a chuuni, and Kanon could - I don't know, blow you up without even trying!

[shoutout to kanon for being the first display of power he's seen here, i guess]

[rapt0r]

'Cause I was the one who checked you all over when you came here. Tell you what, point at someone and I'll tell you what they can do.

Or if they're a poor normie just like you.

[townmusician]

Then why did you not send me back...

[This is stupid. But.

Hm...

He looks around, gaze stopping on Vergilius for a moment but the man kind of intimidates him? Xiao is also a weirdo, and he's seen Kanon blow stuff up, so...

He ends up pointing at Ibuki.]

Go ahead.

[Was that coconut thing really just a party trick!!]

[immortalpoet]

[that's right, punk]

[townmusician]

[😭😭😭😭😭]

[rapt0r]

That one, huh.

[ There's a pause, but ultimately: ]

They can move stuff with their mind. Telekinesis if you wanna get all fancy sounding.

[divector]

[ He's been lobbing coconuts and lifting robots all day, so he just finds this hilarious. ]

It's called Psychokinesis where I come from, but I can confirm that.

[rapt0r]

Oh right, that one. We use more common names, it's just easier.

[divector]

Hmm, good point. Psychokinesis covers a rather broad range, so I can see how pinpointing would be useful for you. Even if it's to my detriment.

[rapt0r]

I would've outed Haruka instead, but he took care of that already.

[ If that's any consolation? Maybe. ]

[townmusician]

[Well, with that confirmation…

Guess Edgelord-san isn’t full of shit.]

So you really do know that kind of stuff…

[…]

I’m not the only one without powers here, you said?

[rapt0r]

There's a couple of more cattle with you.

[ they're just being rude now. ]

[townmusician]

If you're going to go for a livestock joke, you could at least go for pigs or something if you want to be clever.

["亥清 悠" is his name, after all.

Boars aren't generally kept for their meat on the few forms that exist, but. Close enough!]

[rapt0r]

Hmm, like boar?

[ They evidently know japanese, or at least some considering the honorific talk before. ]

Again, too much effort.

[dancing_flames]

Blow up, huh?

[So someone else here has powers like his? Interesting indeed...]

[townmusician]

Yeah, she took out one of the fish…

[rip singing fish]

[dancing_flames]

Well, at least we won't have to worry about running out of food.

[That's... a plus? Maybe?]

[townmusician]

Is everyone here a cannibal?

[JUMPING TO THE WILDLY WRONG CONCLUSION, THANKS BEEL.]

[dancing_flames]

... what?

[NO REALLY, WHAT]

[townmusician]

Why are you asking me what?! I’m not the one who brought up food!

[dancing_flames]

I was referring to the possibility of killing fish for food. Why did you jump to cannibalism?

[gluttoning]

[wow this kid's so highstrung about the being eaten thing, that's so sad

yw lettuce head boy]
