Intro log: Welcome to The Resort!

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.))

[Nope, no machine! The stuff on his (actual) ears looks mechanical, though.]

-?

You don't know what a BitPhone is?

[You could almost hear the record scratch if that is indeed something they have.]

[relentlesslyonwards]

[He recognizes headsets and such but they don't have those for their (rudimentary) cell phones yet so. Mysterious!!]

No, I haven't. Are... they that common?

[justonezero]

[Ummmmm.]

Everyone's obligated to wear them these days. They're connected to the Master Program with all your info, so...

[relentlesslyonwards]

[excuse, that's his line?!]

Yeeeah, I'm pretty sure we're not from the same place, then. [Like there was any real doubt about that from the beginning, but this really drives it in.]

I don't know anything about a Master Program either, but it sounds [vaguely ominous??] impressive.

[justonezero]

...But it's a worldwide system.

[UM???]

[relentlesslyonwards]

Well, it definitely didn't include the place I came from. I'm from Erebonia, but I've already ran into one person who doesn't know where that is, so we might be dealing with something a little bigger here.

[To say the least.]
