Intro log: Welcome to The Resort!

[foundationmods]

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.))

...I tried to do the number conversion and I saw a video!

[13thpromise]

A video of what?

[justonezero]

It was like... some kid's toy? It was a really old ad. There was a moving skeleton they were trying to take pieces from, and sometimes he'd move around all like, "Rattle me bones!"

[purrtagonist]

[. . . uh]

[he's going to regret asking this, isn't he]

Have you opened the bag yet?

[justonezero]

I wanted to avoid opening a suspicious black bag that rattles, so that's why I looked at its numbers instead!

[That's a no.]

[13thpromise]

...Are you going to open it now?

[justonezero]

I get the feeling if I did that, I'd see something I really don't want to see...

[That's also a no.]

[purrtagonist]

[just. . . holds out his hand]

[give him]

[justonezero]

[Please take it, he'll hand it over and back off.]

[13thpromise]

[ He raises a brow, but hey Akira's volunteering so he'll be watching.

He's also thinking, It's probably just a toy, what else could it really be?

So he's not impressed, for now anyway. ]

[purrtagonist]

[with all of the neutral composure of a Persona protag, Akira quickly pulls the bag open and peers inside. what have we got here. . .!]

[foundationmods]

[



That sure is a Human skeleton inside the bag.

Looks like there's

A SKELETON IN THE CLOSET

Okay no but really, it's an entire skeleton, but disconnected. this is a pile of bones, my dude.]

1/2

[purrtagonist]

[yyyyyyyeah that's what he was afraid of]

[purrtagonist]

[closes the bag quickly and turns towards Yoshi]

. . . do we have any doctors here? Or people who know anatomy?

[blutsauger]

[Conveniently walking nearby]

[No but really, Archimedes probably heard someone mention "doctors" and led Medic this way]

What's going on here?

[purrtagonist]

[. . . WELL. THAT SURE IS SOME TIMING]

[but Akira hasn't checked the profiles yet, so he doesn't recognize Medic as. . . uh. a medic immediately]

Ah-- [hoists up the bag o' bones] We need a doctor, or someone who knows anatomy. Do you know if there are any here?

[blutsauger]

[Medic, completely adorned with red crosses like a fucking ad campaign for medicine: no what the fucks a doctor]

I'm certainly at least one of those!

[purrtagonist]

[OKAY, LOOK. . . . . . . FAIR]

[squints at him for a moment, before wordlessly passing him the bag o' bones]

Ah--

[jerks a thumb at Yoshi and Roxas]

A little discretion wouldn't hurt.

[blutsauger]

[Medic takes one look inside the bag and just grins like it's Smissmas morning.]

What lovely specimens! Where'd you get these?

[Medic has never heard of discretion in his entire life. Before Akira even finishes his sentence he's dumping the bag on the nearest flat surface so he can get a better look at them all.]

[purrtagonist]

[. . . THAT ISN'T DISCRETION!!!!]

Ooooor you could do. . . that.

[just. presses a hand against his face, oh my god]

[justonezero]

[Yep.

Them's bones.

Looking at the data: are they still human bones or in fact a YouTube video.]

[foundationmods]

[Guess this skeleton's fucking going on the ground!!

anyway,the first thing that will strike medic is that these bones have been lovingly cleaned. They've been whitened, brightened - they are a damned good set of bones.

It's such a shame, then, that The skull and Sternum are damaged, though he'll have to un-pile the skeleton to see it more clearly.]

[justonezero]

I don't like the timing of that question at all!!

[Yet he still smiles.]

There was someone called the Medic listed on the tablets.

[purrtagonist]

Iiiiiit's an innocent question. Don't think too hard about it.

[HA HA HA. . .]

[also he'd respond, but Medic has great timing]

[13thpromise]

[ He's about to ask "It is?", getting a little suspicious but yeah Medic sure happened, so now he's watching that. ]
