You don't remember getting knocked out.

That's the best descriptor for the feeling you experience before you wake up. There's a glittering absence of color to your field of vision, and a sensation that you aren't yourself, you aren't anything in particular. Abruptly, unpleasantly, you wake up in a strange, sunny location. Where that is might vary--laying in a sun chair on the pool deck, draped over the skee-ball machine in the arcade, face down in a cart in the laundry room....or just stretched out in the long, long expanse of sand surrounding the island.

There doesn't seem to be anyone else here, aside from the others who have woken up and have as little clue where they might be as you do. It's a silent, empty island filled with a lot of questions and few clear answers. What you can conclude are a few things: that you don't get hungry or tired, that any wounds you have don't seem to either heal or worsen, and leaving the island doesn't seem to be possible.

Maybe it would be good to meet with the others who have woken up?

There's probably a janitor's closet we can raid!

( it probably wouldn't hurt to check what's available in the kitchen... if it's a big place like a resort, it would probably have a lot, right? even then, having a stock of what's available is good, especially if they need to ration things out... )

I would be surprised if there was not such a thing. I would be willing to accompany you if you wish to search for it now.

[she seems more capable than she should be. but also, she has a shovel instead of a gunblade.]

[shoveltalks]

Yeah, we can do that. If there's no way out, it's best to make things as livable as possible as soon as possible instead.

( maybe it's just her but blood? the opposite of livable. kurumi stands up from her booth, shovel in hand- and while she can walk confidently, maybe gaius can tell her steps are a bit heavier than a healthy teen girl's should be. )

[...hm. He was going to say something, but he got distracted...]

Are you well? There is no need to push yourself if you are not.

[shoveltalks]

Huh? Oh... uh. N-no, no, it's just that I got a little sick before this-

( for lack of a better word. though... maybe she should be honest?

...

she doesn't know what they need. but if she can fight still, she has to. just in case. )

I'll be fine, I promise.

[howveryglib]

...If you're certain.

[zombies don't work like that back home so he's not even going to work it out whenever zombie apocalypses come up.....]
