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! ))

[ is just. watching. watching wei wuxian just leaving no kitschy postcard unturned because it's funny.

if he's noticed, when wei wuxian nods, joshua will give him a jaunty wave because why not. ]

rubs hands together

[diabolizes]

[ And the winner of the location raffle is... the giftshop! Wei Wuxian can feel himself being watched, but he's used to it at this point, so he just ignores it.

Until he decides not to, in which he chucks a rolled up bright, bird-patterned beach towel at Joshua. ]

Catch!

[finalmix]

[ josh 1000% sucks at physical activity so he does not actually catch the towel, and it almost beans him in the face if not for the fact that he took a side step to try and catch the towel and failed miserably. rip joshy.

looks at the towel on the floor. looks back at wei wuxian. ]

I'll use this for sunbathing, then~

[diabolizes]

[ rip indeed ]

There's plenty of space for it here. [ He smiles. ] So, are you going to look around with me or continue to watch?

[finalmix]

[ shrugs! it's not like he has anything better to do with his time anyway. ]

You seem like you were doing just fine on your own, but what are you looking for?

[diabolizes]

Information. Anything that can tell me about this strange place we've found ourselves in.

[ A magical mechanism, a door that'll take them back to their home... you know, normal things. ]

[finalmix]

[ he's going to take this time to steal a pair of sunglasses from the shop because i have him wearing a pair in other threads so that's convenient. ]

And you think the information is just going to be lying around like that?

[diabolizes]

Not necessarily. However, even the most powerful of individuals can be sloppy from time to time. It's all about catching their mistakes.

[ So, while he's well aware this could be a fruitless effort, he's holding out hope. ]

[finalmix]

Speaking from personal experience?

[ he sounds way too amused about this but he's going to accompany wei wuxian to go poke around the gift shop, although if he strays towards the clothes items that's probably Not Just A Coincidence ]

At least we got the name of the place, even if I don't think I've heard of it before~

[diabolizes]

Hahaha! Maybe I am!

[ Wei Wuxian has never heard of it either, but he foregoes saying that in lieu of pointing out what he's just noticed. ]

Looking for new clothing?
