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! ))

It's lame. Be creative if you're going to troll at least.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Dramatic gasp that's fake because of amusement in his eyes. ]

How could you?

[ ...... ]

You know what's lame? Your face.

[rapt0r]

You haven't even seen it.

[mysticpowerbroker]

[ Sigh! ]

You're really just a bag of fun and joy, aren't you?

[rapt0r]

If I'm that, what would you call yourself?

[mysticpowerbroker]

A Merlin, of course~

[ ... ]

[rapt0r]

That's just your actual name.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Exactly! I'm actually brave enough to reveal my real name.

What does that say about you, who masquerades around pretending to be a Raptor?

[ Merlin...... ]

[rapt0r]

It's a handle. And I could tell you my name, sure. But if I'm gonna do that, I might as well actually see you face to face.

[mysticpowerbroker]

So, you'd really show your face...?

[rapt0r]

Why not? A leader's gotta show their face its part of the whole gig.

[mysticpowerbroker]

Hmm. . .okay then! So, how about right now?

[ MERLIN WILL CALL YOUR BLUFF RAPTOR ]

[rapt0r]

[ There's a pause like they're really considering it?

Too sleepy. Maybe in a few days.
