INTRO LOG

Before you even open your eyes, you can tell something is not right. It's cold. Not quite unbearably so, but cold enough that you can take notice of it. And as soon as you open your eyes, you will be able to see why it's so cold: you're in the middle of a snowy forest, with only a single two-lane road cutting through the thick trees.

Unfortunately, you seem to be without transportation. Fortunately, you are wearing warm clothes and snow gear, so freezing isn't an immediate problem. But without transportation, you're in for a long walk ahead of you.

There are others around as well. Other people, just as lost and confused as you are. Everyone seems to be lacking any memory that might explain why everyone is here. As far as anyone knows, all of you were just ripped out of your previous lives and dumped here on this snowy road, wearing snow gear and having any items that are important to you already on hand. And for some of you, you even have a new power, one that you somehow instantly know how to use...

Two ways to go: forward and back. Despite having no indication of which way is the 'right' way, you feel drawn towards one direction in particular. Going 'back' is possible, but you get the feeling that you will be even more lost if you try. And given that you have no food or water on you, it's best to keep moving forward.

So, are you ready to walk? Because you have a long road ahead of you.

((Welcome to The Resort! Your characters will have any objects or animals with them that they should have given their canon point, but are dressed in cold weather clothing.

This prompt is just the first part of the intro log. New top-levels will go up over the course of the weekend as everyone progresses from 'where the hell am I?' to the resort proper, and to getting settled in. For now, just start with this prompt. We'll link further updates here for easy access.))

[ Waves from some distance away... ]

Ah-- I'm sorry, did we make you fall?

No, no, you just surprised me!

[She wouldn't be a very good speed duelist if a flying projectile, alive or not, managed to knock her off her board around here. Blue Angel shakes herself a little, smooths out her skirts and comes gliding over to check out Anthy's situation.]

... We?

Chu-Chu and myself. He has a very strong sneeze.

That was stronger than some of the Data Storms I've seen...

[It's half to herself, so she doesn't bother to explain what she's talking about before looking around at the... snow and more snow. After that little explosion, she was expecting to be able to find this mystery projectile a lot more easily.]

What happened to him? He didn't... fall down the mountain?

[Presumably Anthy would be a lot less calm in that case, but??]

[ She obviously has no idea what a Data Storm is, but can kind of guess where the comparison is coming from from the "storm" part.

Just call him Achoo-Chu. ]

Oh, no, I think he's just under the snow. He couldn't have gone too far.

[ Thank you, Tree, for bravely staying rooted in his trajectory. ]

[She's definitely going to be watching out for Achoo-Chu Storms from here on out!]

Oh. In that case, it was kind of in this direction, so...

[She's just going to gesture at the snowdrifts around there?? And hop off her D-board for the moment.]

Maybe we need to dig...

[ you have no idea how disappointed i am in myself that i didn't think to make that pun before that comment ]

Yes, I'm sure he'd appreciate the help.

[ Let's see, she's pretty sure that's the tree he slammed into... ]

[All that matters is that the pun is made at some point! We'll retroactively consider it the alpha and the omega, the original Pun.

And, anyway, Blue Angel's going to obligingly trudge over with her D-board under her arm, and then... Use it to try and scoop snow? That's really all they have. She'll need to clean it off, but that's not too hard. The snow isn't too deep...?]

Uh, what does he look like?

[She's realizing she doesn't know.]
