[ 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

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

[spitefullight]

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?

[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.

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]

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 🤔

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

[evocation]

but maybe we're still in the boring part of the movie where the writers try to get you to like the characters before they kill them all
wait, you were talking about games
whatever, you know what i mean

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

[burstmodes]

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

[ and he's being genuine about it. ]

[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. ]

[burstmodes]

lol yeah
games and movies are a liiiittle different
i mean not by much
usually it's just all the same in the end but you know

if we had to pick i'd go for scifi or romcom
unless the scifi was aliens
that'd probably make it weird

[evocation]

wait, what kind of sci fi then?
we've already got at least one space marine

@Scientia

[reigniter]

Elemental Enhancements

Tactical Analyzing

Tactical Planning

Research and application
Non-combat skills:

Sewing

Cleaning

Research on previously mentioned topics

[kungfuey]

You could say that.

[ This place is pretty much, everything her parents had prepared her for from the time she was four. At least that misspent youth of hers is paying off in death??? ]

You really think it's a good idea to have inexperienced people playing with weapons, trying to track animals through the woods or setting traps all over the place?

[ I mean... that wasn't a no? ]

[burstmodes]

what seriously?!
oh man that's so cool

[ okay, prompto. focus. ]

well uh
time travel???
or maybe robots
you know like anime style stuff

[chores]

Oh, um. Thank you. It's rather basic compared to what some newer models are capable of though but it's understandable since I'm older.

[evocation]

yeah, he's pretty awesome
his name is wash if you ever want to talk to him
btw a robot killed me so i'm voting no on them
time travel could be cool though

[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

[reigniter]

Now now don't overexaggarate

[...]

You are an amazing friend too Prompto
We'd never get far without you

[burstmodes]

well i mean
when you put it like that it makes it sounds pretty dumb
but if you do it slowly with people who actually wanna learn it...
might not be a bad idea right?

[ he's trying to be as optimistic as possible since, well, this place doesn't look like it's going to get any better. ]

[burstmodes]

older?
you don't look that old to me

and seriously it's AWESOME
i don't think i know any languages but one

[burstmodes]

okay thanks!
maybe i'll go talk to him
you think it'd be cool to do that?

... oh well sorry
time travel would be pretty handy
wish that was a real thing where i'm from

[burstmodes]

i'm not exaggerating!!!
you're like the coolest in a fight ok
even when you

[ yikes. he'd almost typed "even when you were blind", and that would have been an instant mood killer. ]

even outnumbered and stuff
but thanks 😊
i try my best you know

[evocation]

yeah, do it
he's really sweet

oh shit i forgot my skills
magic's mostly my thing
