[ this is most definitely a useless post. look, he doesn't have anything useful to contribute just yet except the art of making conversation. ]

hey everybody
is it just me or does this feel like the beginning of some freaky horror game?
not that i'm saying this is a game
cuz it's not
but a lot of scary ones kind of start out like this
next we're gonna find clues to some tragic backstory and then i dunno
that lady at the lighthouse is gonna come in to either save the day or torture us
( and for the record i really really really hope the second part's not true )

anyway uh
i figured this would be a good way to introduce ourselves maybe
and throw out whatever skills we have to contribute to this whole thing
i'm not really the leader type
but i'm sure people are already trying to figure stuff out
me and my friends are...

right right skills
if anybody's got questions or needs someone with good aim just hit me up
guns are sort of my thing ✌️
or i guess if you need somebody to talk to i'm a pretty good listener too

[evocation]

okay but do you think this is like
slasher style? ghosts? a cult?

[burstmodes]

nah probably not slasher stuff
a lot more of us would have died again or whatever

[ is that even a thing that can happen? he's pretty sure it is... ]

not sure about the cult thing either
could be ghosts tho 🤔

you know I have that theory in my journal already. Lighthouse lady secretly evil. The ones who always seem the most helpful turn out to be the worst people.

Or she's literally an Undead Goddess bent on killing us all and raising our corpses as her thralls with our skin melted off.

but I can tell you that I'm not talking in make believe games.

Anyways, hi, skills, I'm a good healer and I can offer a lot of protections and wards.

Oh and Question;What's a gun?

1/3 i'm sorry

[burstmodes]

undead goddess would be a pretty cool plot twist
i mean not for us
since that'd mean we were totally screwed
still cool tho

[ just going to casually ignore the "not talking in make believe" part of that. ]

wait are you

2/3

[burstmodes]

[ hold on. H O L D O N ]

are you serious?????
have you never
oh man

3/3

[burstmodes]

oh man oh man oh man
i gotta show you

[ and okay. he quickly switches over to a livestream so he can call his gun from the armiger – even if there's no light like there usually is when he does it – and show it off in the dim illumination of his lantern. then, it's back to text. ]

cool huh?
you shoot stuff with it
it's a weapon

@ax400

[chores]

Oh. This is a good idea, Prompto.

( look! look at her trying to be positive!! )

Well-- my name is Kara. I'm an android so I'm a little stronger than a normal human but I wasn't built to fight or anything like that. I was actually built to help families and take care of children.

I know three hundred languages, nine thousand recipes and just as many stories for children. I can also sew and mend clothes and have a lot of free time on my hands since I don't sleep.

[burstmodes]

oh wow
i didn't know you could do all that stuff kara!!!
that's amazing

[ and he's being genuine about it. ]

@helsing

[kungfuey]

Hunting, tracking, traps, weapons + combat.

[ And then no less than a minute later; ]

First aid.

[ She's just so good at this being social thing. ]

[burstmodes]

so you're totally prepared for this sort of thing huh
have you ever thought about teaching people who don't know a whole lot

[ because he's sure that might come in handy at some point. ]

@Scientia

[reigniter]

While I am sure that you know most of my skills already, it is good idea to share knowledge with others- in case any is ever needed.

Very well, here it is
Combat skills:

Knives

Daggers

Polearms

Elemental Grenades

Elemental Enhancements

Tactical Analyzing

Tactical Planning

Research and application
Non-combat skills:

Cooking (includes skinning/butchering meat + handling any type of fish; comes from knife/dagger handling)

Sewing

Cleaning

Research on previously mentioned topics

[burstmodes]

^*super cool and badass

there you go iggy
i added some stuff on there for you
oh OH and you're a great friend too

@dysmas :// text

[chardismastic]

great idea

if only there was a directory for this kind of info

[ attachment.link ]

[burstmodes]

you know not everyone's gonna look at that
or care to
and besides what if you don't wanna actually talk to every single person listed there
this is like uh
a text mingle

@kingsknight

[broplaints]

Look at you taking charge
Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed

Weapons: swords, daggers, pole arms, guns, machinery, royal arms, the power of awesomeness, my lantern probably
Magic: fire, ice, lighting, my personality
Other: warping, recovery, magical storage space, bashing people with a shield, being really good at video games, like the best

[burstmodes]

something tells me you're just messing with me

and noct dude
you better not fight someone with your lantern
even if it would be pretty awesome

[tribridfreakshow]

looks like there's someone here that can do just about anything.

[burstmodes]

really?
do you know them?

@Nightshade

[primordialerebus]

Uhhhh I can cook, clean, do some basic sewing, first aid... I also know basic self defense/hand-to-hand? And I know parkour.

[ A long pause. ]

Also I'm really good at guessing stuff.

[ She isn't quite ready to reveal to true extent of her powers, but you know. She already said that much in public with Scarlett so might as well keep that shitty lie going. ]

[burstmodes]

oh man
you mean like assassin's creed kind of parkour???

and i guess guessing stuff is a good skill to have
what sort of guessing is it?

[ he doesn't want to think like "read the future" kind of guessing, but his imagination is overactive. ]

@daylit

[sunborne]

If the lady at the lighthouse is reading this somehow: Please know that I also prefer to not get tortured. There's a lot going on as is. Pretty please. :(

But! I really like this idea of yours! I'll get it a shot.

[ after a few minutes, daylight sends the next string of messages: ]

Hey everyone! I'm Daylight!

I've trained as a scout back on the starship I'm a crewmember of. I specialise in traversing, tracking and foraging. I can generate force fields and basically make balls of exploding energy. If you need backup on a trip, let me know and I'll try to help.

And I guess if you need to get stuff from tall shelves than I'm definitely your guy!

(Is this how we do this?)

[burstmodes]

haha it's okay
she probably isn't reading this exact thing
and i doubt she's into torture since like you said we've already got a lot going on

okay okay
all that stuff is really good to know considering
but uh
how tall is tall exactly?

@darkness

[evulsed]

really? that's your guess?

it didn't cross your mind that she might be the one in charge?

[burstmodes]

nah it's not a guess
it's mostly like i dunno
theories and stuff

maybe she is the one in charge but giving orders that far from this town seems stupid to me

[ not that he knows much of anything about those kinds of tactics. ]

@username

[dualikey]

the lady in the lighthouse might already be helping us

i mean that's what a lighthouse is for, right?

[burstmodes]

[ brb laughing at this cute but also lame username. ]

well lighthouses sure
but spooky mysterious people IN them?
kinda reminds me of ghosts

@subzero

[saibot]

This place is mild compared to the Netherrealm. There are no demons running around looking to pick apart your flesh. You should feel lucky to be in this place and not another.
