Current Thinking about picking up a 1x1 on the side. Just not certain what I would want to write.

Finally watched the Mario movie. Pretty enjoyable flick, though I wish Yoshi had a bigger role. Hoping for Daisy in the future too.

Took 3 sessions with the paper shredder, but I finally cleared out a chunk of my paper/file hoard. Bad news is that I still have so much more to go. 😭

REZORT: VACATION FROM HELL

Most Recent Posts

Well, on second thought I decided to get the IC up today regardless. Your posts don't have to be much, but if you want to write a ton feel free too. This is mainly just a point for people to introduce their characters or interact with one another.

Well, small group can be cozy and better to deal with/plan with! Will there be a Discord?


Probably not. I've found discord servers distracting in the past, with people more willing to simply chat in them rather than engaging in the roleplay they joined.

It was a calm night, with the stars on full display for all to see.

As announced to each of their guests earlier in the day, the resort staff had indeed prepared a wonderful event for the night. It had been set up next to the main poolβ€”the largest at the resortβ€”at the event pavilion, where a DJ had stood upon a large stage blasting some of the latest tropical house releases of the year. Nearby to the stage were bars and buffet lines, both ready for any resort guests that were hungry or might've wanted a drink of some kind. With a stereotypical tiki aesthetic to boot, it seemed like the resort had pulled out all the stops for its current guests to relax and party the night away.

Sitting at one of the bars, Rina watched the event with a slightly uncomfortable gaze. It wasn't like she hadn't been to parties and other such events before. This was a chance to unwind some of the stress she had been feeling; it was the whole point of why she accepted the resort's invitation. But as she watched a group of resort guests dance to the music played by the DJ, Rina felt like she hadn't been ready to socialize just yet, instead choosing to keep to the bar where she could be alone.

Turning to the bartender, Rina decided to order a drink for herself. Perhaps a cocktail or two could help her unwind and put her in the mood to party with the rest of the resort's guests, although Rina doubted it. Yet if she was going to spend her night here at the resort's party, a drink and some of the buffet food was the least she could do for herself.

"A..."

Rina paused, struggling to remember what the drink was called. She had heard of it before, but western drinks weren't her strong suit.

"Mai Tai, please?"

The warning klaxons blared throughout the complex, filling the corridors with a deep reddish light. Savaged bodies laid on the ground or slumped against the wall; some missing limbs or otherwise ripped to a bloody pulp. Deeper inside, the terrified screams of fearful men and women could be heard amidst loud, erratic gunfire before they were suddenly silenced, most likely having experienced the same fate as those within the rest of the base.

"God help us all." Sergeant Rhodes muttered, checking his sidearm for ammo.

Five bullets left. Definitely not enough for him to escape this hell. He would need to find more soon, or perhaps another weapon off one of the fallen soldiers that laid before him mangled. Yet as he turned to one of the nearby corpses in search of such, a guttural groan could be heard further down the hallway.

Readying his pistol, Rhodes prepared to shoot. It was only one of them; a few clean shots could take it out for good. But before Rhodes could press down onto the trigger, one became two and two became four. The undead seemed to continue to multiply in number, much like a roaming herd following each other through the complex.

"SHIT!" He exclaimed, perhaps too loudly. The herd's attention latched onto Rhodes, and began flooding down the hallway towards him.

Knowing that he couldn't fight back, Rhodes raced towards an exit. Damn it, locked. In frustration, he began to slam his body against the door, hoping to brute force open the latch to no avail. The door refused to budge from its position no matter how much he tried.

As the horde drew closer, Rhodes yelled out in anger. He didn't want to die here, being torn apart by those freaks. But his options were limited, and Rhodes knew it. He had been trapped in a hallway by an approaching herd of undead cannibals with only five bullets left to defend himself. There was no way he was going to escape this alive.

Looking down at his sidearm, Rhodes knew what he had to do. He wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of his pained screams as they tore out his insides and feasted upon them.

"Sorry, mama." Rhodes apologetically said, quickly followed by a loud bang.

Truth be told, I was hoping we would be getting some more sheets. However, since we only have five people total (six if counting myself), for the sake of the RP I'm going to give everyone the a-okay and approve all of them. When you get a chance feel free to place them without a hider in the CS tab. I'll be getting to work on the IC soon myself, if it isn't out today expect it in the next few days.

If you are a fan of tokusatsu media, you could easily pick Rina Saitou out from a crowd.

Standing at 5'2'', Rina has an athletic build and frame, having wanted to stay in shape for acting purposes. Her hair is an auburn brown that is typically cut short and more often than not held up in a reverse ponytail. On the other hand, her irises, while also brown, are of a darker brown color not unlike that of tree bark.

Rina's choice of attire tends to range from "casual" hoodies and shorts to "professional" blazers and dresses. She dislikes flaunting her wealth, and tries to avoid anything that might be considered "rich" and "fancy", such as expensive jewelry.

Rina is more often than not a sociable person. Or, well, was.

Not the type to anger often, Rina had kept a friendly appearance both online and in real life. She tried to keep herself open to most things, even if they seemed menial to her. If someone stopped Rina on the street for a picture or perhaps an autograph, she would've been be all for it if time allowed her to do so. Making a fan's day just a bit brighter wouldn't hurt, after all, so why not oblige them in their request?

In recent months, however, this optimistic outlook on life has been swapped with one more distant. Cautious, even. Her positive attitude has been shattered upon the scandal she has found herself entangled in, and Rina is unsure how to proceed. Anyone might be able to notice hesitancy in her actions, and a desire to crawl into her shell if they talked to her. Being involved in a filming accident that nearly took one's life and later being blamed for said accident has clearly taken a toll on Rina, and it is unknown if she'll ever be able to return to her upbeat self again.

Born in a rural, no-name town within Hokkaido, Japan, Rina never expected to make it big.

As her hometown had a large elderly population, with most of the youth having already left for greener pastures, Rina grew up without many friends of her own. Most days were spent wandering the rural countryside and listening to the elderly give her "life advice" as she assisted them in daily tasks. Such factors would ultimately lead to Rina developing her own sense of wanderlust, yearning to leave the clutches of her hometown and be free to do whatever she put her mind to.

Unbeknownst to Rina, freedom comes in mysterious ways. Coming across an acting ad in Sapporo, Rina decided to take a stab at it. After all, what was the worst that could happen? She had no experience, so the worst they could say was no.

While she had no actual experience in acting, however, the audition judges did believe that she had talent as Rina would later find out upon receiving feedback from her audition. Although in the end they ultimately decided to go with another actress, a talent agent by the name of Yoichi Suda offered to take her under his wing. Safe to say, she decided to accept his offer, in turn introducing Rina to the grand and expansive world of tokusatsu.

The next several years were spent on the big stage, where Rina preformed a number of toku roles for TV. From lesser known B-type tokusatsu shows to the big three (Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and Ultraman), Rina had gained quite the following of fans from her performances. She had become a toku idol, and even somehow managed to single-handily bring forth the rebirth of her hometown as fans flocked to it in droves as "toku tourists".

All and all, life seemed to be great for Rina. She had everything she could possibly want, and then some. But then, tragedy struck.

On the set of one of her more recent shoots, a dangerous accident had occurred as Rina was in the middle of filming a scene with one of her co-actors. The pyrotechnics had misfired, injuring her co-actor severely. Rina, on the other hand, was lucky to escape the unexpected explosion with only a few singed hairs.

Filming for the series was indefinitely paused as the production company suddenly found itself entangled in a costly lawsuit brought upon by the actor and their family. Following the incident, Rina had tried to make a public apology notice to her fans, along with her wishes that her co-actor would be able to recover from their injuries on her social medias. Most had been supportive of her post, but unknown to Rina, she had gained a few haters and trolls over the years, who promptly began spreading fake rumors that Rina had been responsible for the accident from within the shadows of online message boards.

To Rina's dismay and grief, her posts had unknowingly opened Pandora's box. Everywhere Rina looked, she found people saying terrible things about her; that she had tried to kill someone. It left Rina depressed, and she wanted to run away from it all.

So, that was exactly what Rina did.

Once she had been cleared from the on-going investigation, Rina deactivated her social medias and filed for stress leave, taking off to an island far, far away from her troubles. Perhaps going to a fancy, expensive resort wasn't the best look for her at the time being, but Rina desperately needed a break; one where she wasn't being scrutinized upon her every move for something that had been completely out of her control. Carabo Island, Rina believed, could offer her that opportunity.

Giving this thread one final bump. Today is the last day for sheet submissions, so if you are interested please get it in by today.
It's the final day for any and all sheets to be in for anyone still working on a sheet. Anything after that will not be accepted for consideration, so if anyone still has plans to join this RP do get your sheet in soon!
Might make a different character so there's less overlap but I'm not sure what yet.


Well, you've only got 2 more days worth of time to change anything, so I'd get to it soon if you do intend on playing something else.

Just ignore the fact that I've been saying August 5th instead of the 6th (which is actually Sunday) this whole entire time. That's my bad.
I'm very intrigued to join! That's still possible, yeah?


There are only a few days left until the deadline, so if you get it in by this Sunday you should be golden. Provided it gets accepted along with the others, of course.
@Qia Out of curiosity, what type(s) of novels does Amelia write?
