Cool. Just don't drift out to sea and get stranded, or anything.

you feel tired. somebody's trying to talk to you, but you can't hear them over the gentle noise of the waves.

you glance at the shore. oh look, its your family! they seem to be having fun.

That looks more like panic then fun. perhaps you should look behind you.

No, no, drifting off is bad. Wake up.

come on girl, keep it together! pinch yourself to stay awake, then splash some water in your face!

you slap yourself with some water and start to wake up some. ughhh....what's going on??

Wake up, look around, and slowly realize how much trouble you're in.

WAKE UP YOUR FACE IS ON FIRE

you look behind you. nothing out of the ordinary there, except its pretty dark out. you weren't asleep for THAT long, were you?

>>504840
they called you to come back for like an hour, then threatened to go home without you, then finally just left. you just got ditched!

You died and this is your brain's last stream of thought before it all goes dark forever.

Just to get that out of the way..

Better start paddling toward the shore.
Also good thing you applied sunscreen before going in the water since sunburn is a bitch.

Get to shore, and hope that's the same shore you started from.

well if it's getting dark you might want to get to the shore before you are swept out by the tide.

Look, falling asleep somewhere that you get moved by currents without knowing how or where was pretty darned stupid. You'll be pretty lucky if it doesn't kill you.

I'm guessing that all you've got at the moment worth noting is your swimsuit and your little floating ring, see if you can get back to shore somehow before this gets EVEN WORSE and we just write you off as an idiot who committed suicide by stupidity.

turn around.

you turn your tube around and paddle yourself to shore. huh, that didn't take long at all! time to find those asshats who thought it would be funny to leave you sleeping in the ocean and give them a piece of your mind.

where should we go?
> THE CONDO
> THE BEACH

Condo. It's looking a little chilly out, and they'll find you whenever. It doesn't really matter; this is a vacation. Enjoy and relax.

Look around. Are you sure this is the same beach you started from? There are footprints, a path or road, you can actually see the condo? Are there any people?

I say head out to the condo for now.

Use your innertube as a hula-hoop. Then go to the CONDO.

but you ARE on the beach!

>>504997
condo.
just a hypothetical question, if for some reason someday you go out looking for a theoretical condo and fail to find it, on a scale of 1 to 10 how good are you at making shelter?

to the front: You get a perfect view of the little complex where your condo is situated. Yours is the third one.

to the left: you catch a glimpse of some people running back to their condos. you also can faintly see the neighboring city in the distance.

to the right: nothing but just ocean and beach.

all in all, this pretty much looks like the same old beach.

you attempt at trying to hula hoop with an inner-tube, but it's just too hard! instead, you slip it on in the most fashionable way possible and start walking to your condo.

>condo.
>just a hypothetical question, if for some reason someday you go out looking for a theoretical condo and fail to find it, on a scale of 1 to 10 how good are you at making shelter?

0. you wouldn't call yourself the most creative or inventive person on this planet....

>>505068
People were running back to their condos? Did they seem to be in a panic?

Might as well start jogging. You don't want to miss dinner!

Meh. It's kind of overcast out here, and there's no one around. Both of those kind of detract from having fun on the beach. Let's try heading condo-wards.

you walk in and holy shitballs its cold in here. just getting out of the ocean and air conditioning do not mix. you need to get out of this swimsuit and into some regular clothes!

you grab some clothes from your suitcase:
> x1 STRIPED SWEATER
> x1 PAIR OF SHORTS
> x1 PINK T-SHIRT
> x1 PAIR OF PANTS
> x1 BLUE TANK TOP
> x1 WHITE SKIRT

what to wear?

pants sweater and the pink t-shirt over the sweater

>>505311
Exactly what I was about to say.

>>505309
did you even shower? salt water, woman!

oh yeah all that salt left to dry on your skin will go bad. rinse off in a hot shower. THEN put on clothes

Re-zero your personal thermostat after showering, yes. Then find out what the fuck.

Wrap up in a towel, call your friends like "wtf", then shower, *then* dress.

>>505309
Take some aspirin. It prevents sunburn.

a smile.

you decide that you're better off hopping into the shower before you get dressed. after getting dressed, you walk out into the room and notice a figure in the bed. you probably missed them before since the lights were off and the curtains were shut. its most likely your mother; she really cherishes her beauty sleep.

you call out to her "hey, mom."

she doesn't respond.

Paranoia check. Watch the person in the bed closely- are they breathing?

Assuming they pass that, sneak around carefully to get a look at her face. Make sure it's actually mom.

Go and make sure it is your mom.

look closer.

Is there anyone else in the place? Don't bug sleeping people unless there's a good reason to. You're probably due for a snack or a meal by now, check to see if people are around and whether they brought back food.

mom groans lightly and rolls over in her sleep. you should probably leave her alone for the time being. you can ask her where everybody else is later.

you head into the kitchen, and you find out that the fridge is completely restocked! looks like dad, joey, and ryan stopped by to drop off groceries.

>>506181
Sweet. Make yourself a sammich.

did you close mom's door? letting the light in on someone sleeping is rude.

>>506180
...that doesn't look normal.

>>506184
Uh, yeah, sure.

your mom /really/ needs her beauty sleep. yikes!

sweet, chow time.

>>506180

um
is that your mom just freaking out about the light or is something impersonating her

maybe you should go get your cellphone, make sure it's on your person. just in case.

>>506180

>>506181
err.. do me a favor and keep some stuff on your person. your cellphone, your multitool/knife and a flashlight. and put some shoes on! geez

.......
Go wake your mom up and make sure she's alone in that bed. Ask here where your brothers are. She probably won't care.

Sudden attack of loneliness! You need to talk to a friend right now.

through much toil and hard work, you create the most perfectly sculpted sandwich on this earth. it is so delicious that the angels cry in desperation of wanting to try your magnificent creation.

one you finish your sandwich, you go back to your suitcase and slip on some shoes. you then grab:

> x1 CELL PHONE
> x1 SWISS ARMY KNIFE

the swiss army knife is your dad's gift to you. you take it almost everywhere with you. you check your phone to see if anyone has called you; you don't have service, which isn't surprising since you are on such a remote part of the island.

its been a while since you last checked on mom, so you slip in her room real quick to see if she's awake.

theres a figure standing in the corner. the bed is empty.

upon closer inspection, you see its your mom. she's still asleep. should we wake her?

does, does your mom normally sleep walk? Maybe you should just wake her to tell her to get back to bed if she wants to sleep... but try and wake her from a distance.

Huh. Well... it can actually be unsafe to wake someone when they're sleepwalking. That said, this is kind of weird and unsettling in and of itself.

POKE IT WITH A STICK

back up and throw a ball of bread at her.

>>506645
oh that actually worked? i wish i sent you to grab some cord/rope and some tarp.

>>506660
>it can actually be unsafe to wake someone when they're sleepwalking
A popular urban legend, but the only real danger is the the woken person being disoriented and may fall over.

yes.

from a safe distance.
