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! ))

[Oh. Is that that case then? They're putting a bunch of Supes on an island and telling them to slaughter each other?

Oh, this is great. Billy just barely manages to hold in his laughter with a tight, malicious grin.]


Now that's just fucking diabolical.

[And frankly, something he'd love to set up, if he had the means and wasn't concerned that the person he'd want to trap in there the most wouldn't just kill the competition anyway. Now he's intrigued, though.]

Y'got a help desk, Ho-ho? Some of us might have some more personal questions.

[ Not that he trusts you, horrible gorilla man. ]

It is what it is.

[The synthetic voice -- maybe by virtue of its artificialness, maybe not -- has been calm all this time, neither rising nor falling. It flows, almost a little cajoling, throughout this thread.]

Once this little meet and greet is over, you'll be able to contact us administrators on the network, same as anyone else. I'll take follow-up questions, but the facts won't change.

Well, ain't you attentive. We get room service? Could use a fuckin' mint.

I'm sure you could persuade one of the robots to bring you breakfast in bed, if you try hard enough.

[Not even saying anything, but he's looking over because HE FEELS THIS WAY TOO]

[Billy's combined amusement and contempt isn't exactly the most disguised even if he's holding it back, so when he makes eye contact with Verg, he'll be able to see what Billy might be thinking if he's good enough at reading people.

Billy smiles with a little more teeth. Well, that's interesting. He'll have to seek out the sad looking guy closer to his age than most people here later on.]

[He meets the other's eyes for a moment, before letting the edge of his mouth edge up in a light, brief smirk, before settling into a firm nod.]

[Hey, fellow older guy, let's talk shop about murder later.]
