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! The room is now clear. Good hustle!

There's no big or queen rat in the room - just a bunch of small ones acting as one mind. Once the rats get the idea Archimedes doesn't want attention, though, they go back to their own business.

There's a shiny pellet in the room, no doubt gathered by the rats. In fact...It's a pellet from buckshot. How did it get all the way here?]

[blutsauger]

[Archimedes perks up immediately. He's gonna swoop down and pick that up in his beak, thank you very much. Are there any other oddities in the area? Perhaps an entry hole in the walls that the buckshot may have come from? Or just other weird shit hanging out in the rat room.]

[foundationmods]

[No entry holes! It looks like the rats might have carried it here. Other than that, there's just the normal -

Oh. Oh wait. There's very obviously some meat hanging around, cooked, from whatever meal they had recently. Other than that, there's nothing else of interest.]

[blutsauger]

[So, cool fact, Archimedes knows human meat very well because he likes digging in the guts of whoever Medic performs surgery on. With that in mind, can he recognize this meat as human... perhaps not on sight, but if he takes a little. Taste. If it's not human, he might still be able to recognize the taste, just because he's a very weird pigeon.]

[foundationmods]

[It's human.

Thanks for eating the meat, you weird bird.

The Rats don't seem worried about this in the slightest - for now, they're basically treating Archimedes like another rat doing it's own thing.]

[blutsauger]

[Archimedes is pretty sure Medic doesn't like him eating human that much, so he stops after the one bite. That taste tells him more than enough about what's going on here. Alright, anything else around here, or is it time for him to go?]

[foundationmods]

[Nothing else! Be free, archimedes.]

[blutsauger]

[Archimedes takes his leave and goes to find his Dad and tell him about all his adventures with rat tunnels and dead human body parts]
