This is the first test drive for The Last Resort. You can use one of the handy prompts or make up your own.
Prompts
Prompt #1
There's a new drug being passed through the seedy end of the town which gives many bipedal species the temporary ability to shapeshift into someone else of their species. Needless to say it's very dangerous. Are you working on a cure? Currently trying it out to look hot at the bar? Trying to weed out the dealers?
Prompt #2
When a cavespider attacks, usually someone doesn't lose much in the way of memories. They might not even notice what's gone. But your character has been swarmed with them and only remembers half of anything. Try to figure out some things about yourself again by talking to your friends and hope that your memories will be recovered with the reminders. Try not to take advantage of someone and lie to someone with the problem, though. Or do it, you need all the advantages you can get.
Prompt #3
A notable and extremely wealthy alien ambassador has just arrived. He loves luxury but is extremely difficult to please. He is also said to be a collector of rare artefacts and some suspect that he may be here to receive stolen goods. Are you staff complaining about his behavior? A scientist keeping a close eye on the museum collections while the ambassador around? A thief planning a heist with a friend in order to sell the goods to the ambassador?
Prompt #4
Having a drink at Pugsy's bar, because someone has to try the exotic booze. Be careful, some of it's made with blood.
[He's pretty sure Roman would make fun of him for being any level of drunk if Roman was sober during it. But Niko is not an honorable soul when it comes to that and would do the same.]
Fancy Lads? [There's a particular scrunch to Niko's face at that, but ultimately he concludes it's probably something like jelly babies, likely.]
If you can have bread and milk and cheese you can have most of the good foods anyway. Or stew. If you have enough vegetables for stew. [Otherwise Niko would only get vegetables through bread buns.] But I guess there wouldn't be fish in a Wasteland. Maybe we find some that doesn't stink like Lucklurk. Lakelick. Lake. Lurk.
[Miraculously the four armed woman returns already, thank you speedy ovens, with a huge pizza. It takes up a lot of the space between them, she warns that it's hot, and leaves plates for them.]
[Niko is also a heathen who doesn't care about plates. Or the heat so much. He's already trying to pick up a piece and not lose half the toppings in a cheese avalanche, which is hard when you're so drunk that forward is an adventure.]
[And other meats. Really, you're only stuck eating insects if you went out seriously underprepared, or if you've been out long enough to eat all the good stuff you brought with you. Even then, it's not like there aren't wild bighorners and geckos in some places.
...And yet, Boone has been stuck eating insect several times.
When the pizza comes out, he ends up watching Niko trying to eat it already before touching it himself. Mostly because he doesn't feel like burning his fingers. When he does pull a piece onto his plate, he picks off some pepperoni and squints at it. This is not something he's eaten before. Still, once he's tried it he decides he likes it.]
[He starts to make a sound but it comes out as muffled ramblings, and he waits instead to swallow.]
Something like oxtail stew? [A taste of home he's not had in a while, so it just reminds him of it. But immediately after he's spoken he's at it again and then he's practically torn through his first piece of pizza. Goopy cheese and all.]
