REZORT: VACATION FROM HELL

Updated the CS tab with Jolinda; I'm going to keep Martian on there for now, but if he doesn't show up soon at least in an OOC presence, I'll probably have to cut him since he hasn't logged on in 9 days.

So I have a broken modem and don't know how long it'll take to fix it. Which means no internet for me. I'm able to use my hotspot to post, but it'll be sparingly.

@Sadie

We can definitely slow down the pace for you if you want. I did say that this RP was only asking a post per week, but some of us certainly got carried away evidently as the RP has 20+ posts now. It'd also allow @mickilennial time to catch up with the RP too.

Nice page 2 of the IC, everyone!

"R-Right," Rina stammered out in response.

With someone clearly bleeding out in front of her, Rina needed to get her head back into the game. Though the shows and movies she had acted in were clearly fiction, she was supposed to be a hero; a defender of the people. Standing around and allowing the bystander effect to consume her whole wasn't the right thing to do. For the moment, she didn't care what the toku fandom would think about her involvement in this scenario. Someone was severely hurt and in need of help, and despite that Rina had little medical training, there still had to be something she could do.

As the man from before lifted the woman out of the pool, Rina stood up from the bar stool and hastily made her way over to the woman alongside a few others—one apparently being a doctor of sorts.

"Let me know if there is anything I can do," Rina told the blonde woman, who had begun CPR on the resort employee.

Despite wanting to assist where she could, however, Rina grimaced, now seeing the full impact of the woman's wounds. She had glanced at the employee's shoulder, where a severe and bloody gash—no, bite wound—had been. How in the world were they supposed to patch that up? Her grievous injuries looked like something that needed an actual hospital to treat; not something that you could just slap a band-aid on and call it a day. It'd take some time for a helicopter or boat to arrive from the mainland, but maybe there was a hospital or clinic of sorts in the nearby town...

Running various scenarios through her head, Rina tried to come up with some sort of a plan of action while she waited for the woman to give her a command. Yet as she waited, Rina would catch a brief movement from the resort employee, who twitched ever so slightly on the ground before slowly opening her now-clouded eyes.

"Hey!" Rina spoke up, trying to get the woman's attention. "She's waking up!"

Just as Rina tried to warn the woman, however, the attempt at aiding the employee took a sudden yet drastic turn. Out of nowhere, the injured employee seemingly sprung up from the ground, and angrily leapt after the blonde woman who had been preforming CPR in a desperate attempt to take a ferocious chunk or two out of her flesh.

"Chikushō!" Rina shouted, her native Japanese coming to the forefront as she recoiled in surprise.

Gonna try and catch up reading today so I can post now I got a day free.

@mickilennial

Check your DMs. Got an idea for you.

REZORT: VACATION FROM HELL

By the way and to just check-in: @mickilennial @Martian Are you guys still with us? I know it has only been 5 days since the RP officially started, but there's been a lot of posting in that span of time and I don't want people feeling overwhelmed/left out here.

@Punished GN

Well, you can post now if you want since I've already gone ahead earlier and pushed us into the next scene. I just said that earlier in case you might've beat me to the punch beforehand. I'm just trying to let the people who have yet to post have a way to seamlessly integrate themselves into the current scene that is going on right now.

Delaney: *goes to check on the woman*

Finally to the actual meat of the plot. Anyone who goes to check on the employee may or may not be met with quite the nasty surprise... with more to come as we advance through this scene. Hint: The zombies want to eat you.

"In general, I suppose." Rina replied, thankful that the conversation had shifted to a more welcoming topic. "Although I can afford resorts such as this, I have never been the type to flaunt my wealth. I always feel out of my element indulging in extravagant expenses, though perhaps that is just my rural upbringing speaking for me."

As Rina noticed the other bar patrons leave for the dance floor, she contemplated asking her new acquaintance the same—once they both had finished their mai tais, of course. After a moment of thought, however, Rina decided against it. Although dancing was a great way to unwind, she hadn't wanted to ruin their moment, admittedly grateful to just have someone to talk to. Though neither of the women had known each other's name, and Rina had been practically tip-toeing throughout the entire conversation, the woman had still seemed empathetic and understanding to whatever Rina had to say.

Unfortunately, the peace Rina was finally beginning to feel, albeit ever so small it had been, would not last long.

"Oh my God!" A shrill scream echoed out from the crowd, drawing the attention of many resort guests. It had belonged to a woman, who covered her mouth in shock and pointed towards the pool. "Someone help her!"

Turning her attention to where the woman had been pointing, Rina was greeted with a horrifying sight she hadn't been prepared for. One of the resort employees stumbled down the length of the pool, her arm weakly outstretched in an attempt to plead for help. Her blouse had been mangled, with a pool of blood seeping into the blue fabric, evidently from the large, open gash on her shoulder as if someone or something had taken a chunk out of the employee.

Being a longtime actress, Rina was no stranger to fake wounds. She had spent time in the chair, waiting ever so still as make-up artists applied fake blood and bruises to her skin. But this—this didn't seem fake in the slightest, like some kind of murder mystery horror show that the resort had decided to put on for its guests. Someone needed to help them now.

Before anyone could react in time, however, the woman tripped over her own feet, and proceeded to fall face-first straight into the pool. As the body hit the water, a small puddle of red began to surround the body, perhaps a sign that the woman had already lost too much blood from the wounds she had received from whatever had attacked her.

Regardless if the woman was still alive or not, though, the only thing Rina could do was to look on in sheer horror, genuinely uncertain on what to do next. She wasn't prepared to see another person on the verge of death, especially one in this state.

@Punished GN Toss Jojo into the CS tab when you have a chance. However, I do ask that you hold off from posting as I'll start moving us into the next scene later today now that you have your sheet in.
