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! ))
3!
...Hmph. I do not see the need for assigned living arrangements.
no subject
Really? I think it's pretty necessary, with so many of us here. Or else people will be fighting for hours over where to sleep. [ he laughs. ] Though maybe we should check for bed bugs, just in case. Who knows how long this place has been left unattended to?
no subject
[ Says Xiao...who doesn't sleep..... ]
But if you find any bugs, I will assist you in handling them. I will escort them outside.
no subject
[ listen. the sand and the elements vs a roof over his head? the decision is easy for crea.
though xiao's second comment gets crea to stop and stare at him, tilting his head. ]
Can you talk to animals?
no subject
[ Which may be surprising, given what he's just said... ]
I would just prefer not to destroy those who do not deserve it.
no subject
[ he nods? crea doesn't get it completely, but he understands the sentiment. sort of. does xiao not kill mosquitos or ants? ]
I'm not sure if it'll be possible, since they're very small and get everywhere unless you wash the mattress, but I'll let you know.
no subject
[ Maybe he can do fucken wimdy things and blow them away?! Who knows. Either way, he's going to look at the bed situation, and... ]
Do you know how many other people will be staying in here?
no subject
[ he shakes his head. ]
At the very least, the two of us. But I didn't see that many cabins and there were a whole 28 of us. So that probably means that at least a couple more people are going to be joining us.
[ but there's only two beds... ]
no subject
It's fine. I will sleep elsewhere. You and any other occupants can claim the beds.
[ He's already eyeing the tub. ]
no subject
[ following xiao's line of vision... ]
The bathroom?
