The Getaway Island had always been known for being home to the best seaside resort in the world; the Seaside Shanties Getaway. The island itself was named after the resort. Owned by Darren Delloro, internationally known billionaire and entrepreneur. The Getaway itself didn't cost much to stay at, surprisingly. This was because the Island kept itself in decent shape and was fueled with the contentment of its inhabitants. This meant that the actual cost of living was much lower than most resorts in the world at only $50 per person a week. Most importantly though, the weather is always perfect. That includes today.

Please enjoy your stay at the Seaside Shanties Getaway resort! Contact a staff member if you have any questions or special requests.

There wasn't a cloud in the sky. There were, however, dolphins leaping along beside the boat as it sailed closer to the island. This island was the Getaway Island, known for its intoxicating views and luxurious beaches. The boat slowly slid across the water, the path it cut perfectly straight and clean like a knife through butter. The dock was approached quickly. As the boat's captain threw the ropes, a voice echoed from the dock. "Ah! New guests! Welcome, My name is Darren Delloro! I'm the owner of the Getaway Island, which I hope you all know the reputation of. Here at the Getaway, we pride ourselves in service and are able to offer only the best for each and every one of you. Speaking of which, may I confirm your names and answer any questions you might have?" Darren spoke as the boat's crew unloaded passengers and luggage- if any.

Endolin Marx allowed themself to be ushered off the boat first; they had been near the ladder that led down to the ground so it was only logic that called for them being the first off. They listened as Darren spoke before stepping up to introduce themself. "I'm Endolin. Endolin Marx. I did have a few questions, but most important is: what about our rooms?" They spoke with confidence. "Also, do you have a library?" Priorities, Endolin. That's what Father would say. It's what Father and Headmaster Arvent would say. Endolin's spirits sank just a hint as they thought again about their father. It wasn't that their father was a bad man, but their father still sometimes tried to control every little aspect of Endolin's life- he was getting better with it as Endolin got older though. As Endolin felt the sudden rush of displeasure, the plants nearby wilted. But they quickly returned to health as Darren's words brought their spirits back up.

Darren smiled at Endolin, checking off a name on his clipboard. "We do not currently have a library, but one could be constructed easily if you wanted to design one for us. As for your rooms, my staff will direct you to your specifically designed rooms. Each is tailored to your tastes. For example, Endolin, yours might appear as a library if that's where you feel most at ease. You can change the design at will if you get bored with it or find the room is missing something. No rooms here are identical." He paused, scanning over the rest of the guests. "How about the rest of you? Names? Questions?"

Ranth was next up to the metaphorical chopping block as it were. He took a moment to adjust his coat before extending his hand for Darren to shake, offering the resort's owner a friendly--albeit slight--smile before passing the man his name.

"Ranth."

He paused for a moment. No more, no less. Despite having willingly suppressed a great deal of his powers, he still had a very keen sense when it came to the exact passage of time. It was something he'd unintentionally built up over the course of his wanderings throughout the surreal interspace of his home Verse - and to a lesser extent the Outside.

"Out of curiosity, what's the food like around here?"

Darren smiled and checked off another name on his clipboard. He nodded at Ranth’s name and answered the question. “The food here is excellent, I speak from experience. Our chefs train for years before coming to join us here.” He responded. He scanned the others, quietly waiting for them to speak. There wasn’t any pressure, but some pressure.

Endolin listened to the proceedings in silence, their attention flicking from being to being. They studied Ranch for a moment, memorizing his features and noticing that he appeared to not be of their own world. Interesting. He’s powerful. Needs a break of course, or he wouldn’t be here. Ugh. Critical mind. I need to stop that. Endolin scolded themself.

Izzy stood among the new guests, a sense of wonderment washing over her as she took in the breathtaking surroundings. The azure sky, the leaping dolphins, and the perfectly smooth water – it was like a dream come true. Her excitement was palpable, and her emerald green eyes sparkled with anticipation. The boat's gentle movement beneath her feet seemed to echo the rhythm of her heart, both in sync with the anticipation of what awaited on the island.

As Darren Delloro's welcoming voice echoed from the dock, Izzy's attention turned to him, her curiosity piqued. The owner's reputation had preceded him, and she was eager to see how the reality matched the legend. Darren's words were warm and inviting, painting a picture of hospitality and luxury that aligned perfectly with her expectations.

When Endolin Marx stepped forward, asking about rooms and the possibility of a library, Izzy's curiosity deepened. She admired Endolin's directness and the way they asserted themselves, even in the presence of someone as prominent as Darren. As Endolin's words triggered a visible response from the nearby plants, Izzy couldn't help but smile at the display of magic. It was as if the island itself responded to emotions, adding a layer of enchantment to the moment.

As Darren addressed Endolin's questions, describing the personalized rooms and the potential for them to be customized to each guest's desires, Izzy felt a renewed sense of awe. The idea of a room tailored to one's preferences resonated deeply with her – a place of comfort and familiarity even in a new setting. The mention of constructing a library also sparked a glint of excitement in her eyes. Izzy imagined a serene haven filled with books and cozy reading nooks, a place where she could immerse herself in stories and let her imagination run wild.

As Darren turned his attention to the rest of the guests, inviting them to introduce themselves and share their questions, Izzy took a step forward. Her extroverted nature couldn't be contained any longer. With a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm, she introduced herself, "Hey there! I'm Isabella, but you can call me Izzy. This place is absolutely amazing! I'm just wondering, do you offer any group activities or workshops? I'd love to experience everything the Seaside Shanties Getaway has to offer!"

Darren nodded slowly as he checked off a third name. "We do! We have yoga, a cooking class, and many others! There'll be a schedule in your rooms once you get there for you to pick from," There were, in fact, many others. Many. Many. Many. others. Almost too many for him to count on his fingers and toes, not that he'd ever try that.

Autumn was staring at the people at the sea thinking if she would ever at accepted by people.
"I wish my parents were still alive to see this...It's so nice out". she whispered to herself.

Now Maximilian stepped up. "The name's Max. One question. How's the internet?" He was joking- sort of- and the smile on his face confirmed this. He could fix up his room to have internet if he wanted, considering he knew the Getaway didn't have technology up to par with the rest of the world. That was something he was hoping to fix, but he'd work on that later. He glanced at Endolin, noting that they might be good to interact with at some point.

Darren sighed, regarding Max a little coldly. Childish. Most definitely a teenager. Annoying, He noted. The island responded to Darren's sudden flash of annoyance and a few plants died. He forced himself to smile. "I'm afraid we do not have internet here. If you have your own router, you can probably hook something up," he responded, his kind tone now sounding forced.
