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! ))

[ His preference is not dealing with Alice's full bed claim and not dealing with Joshua's complimenting his eyes, so Ibuki wins...congrats... ]

Then it's settled. I don't care which side of this bed you pick. I'll take the other no problem.

[divector]

[ He will take this Slightly More Tolerable award with pride. ]

Same, I'll just be happy not to sleep on the ground or worse. That's never fun even if you know there's no other choice.

[gravitys]

[ He can show it to his friends. ]

Yeah, I don't wanna deal with arguing over only one person gettin' a bed or something. [ ERGO, Joshua and Alice can deal with it. ]

[divector]

I'll leave it to them to achieve harmony on their own.

[ Which will probably never happen with these personalities, but hey, not his problem. ]

[gravitys]

That's the plan. [ Did Chuuya also just demand they share in order to avoid getting involved in the argument over the other bed? Yes. ]

[divector]

I just hope they sort it out before we all need sleep.

[ He'll have to actually care then, and feelings suck. ]

[gravitys]

Yeah. No clue which of 'em will win.

[ He kind of feels like Alice might. ]

[divector]

Me either, but I hope we won't be collateral. This place isn't large enough for that, and I'd rather not waste energy on repairs.

[ He'd throw his hat in for Alice, sorry Josh. ]

[gravitys]

I don't wanna have to step in. [ ESSENTIALLY...because it's a dumb thing to fight over. ]

[divector]

[ Look, as long as it doesn't bother him, the popcorn's coming out! ]

So responsible. I hope you don't have to either. I doubt those two would stop with just a word.

[ Yeah, he's gonna miss his yes-crew fast. ]

[gravitys]

When I step into shit, I don't bother with words.

[divector]

[ Why does Chuuya remind him of a weird fusion of Yukinami and Hyuga... ]

This place is rather small for a fight though. Anyone could probably make it collapse in seconds.

[gravitys]

[ Is that a compliment or an insult ]

I'd try to move any fight outside first.

[divector]

[ He likes them a lot, so mostly a compliment! Unless he's dunking on them. ]

Much obliged. I'll cheer you on.

[gravitys]

Thanks for the vote of confidence.
