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.))

If you want to!

[Normally Tsumugi would sort of side eye this behavior in a serious situation... but her otaku heart squees at such an passionate monologue.]

I'm not sure now is the time to monologue... but I can't fault such spirit! Maybe try going for 'I will rise like the morning sun to illuminate the truth of this perilous situation and melt away all falsehoods!' instead? A sun deference still gets the idea of heat across, but also leads into another declaration of solving the mystery of this situation!

--You're right! There's no better enemy for the snow than the mighty and bright sun that shines overhead! It's light will illuminate all that hide in shadows and the warmth that it provides will provide relief from the cold of this winter storm!

Thank you for this brilliant metaphor!

[jumpedtheshark]

[A now sheepish but still enthusiastic smile.]

No, ummm.... thank you for liking it! I'm just glad to help you finish your monologue! It sounded like the kind of speech a hero would give in preview for the next episode.... and... well! It got my otaku heart pumping and I couldn't bear to leave it unfinished!

[swordhandled]

As a hero, I can assure you that this speech is par the course for me!

A hero...

[Is... this guy a fellow cosplayer? He'd fit right in at a con with his outfit... but she doesn't recognize the series. Well. She can't argue against him staying in character, so she might as well play along.]

Well, a plain civilian like me is glad to know we have you around then!
