Intro log: Welcome to The Resort!
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.))
no subject
Okay.
[Bennings takes a deep breath.]
I'll put my trust in you for now. What's your name?
no subject
[She tilts her head towards Bennings. Best not to make too many sudden movements and lose his trust. She needs at least One Other competent adult in her corner. Unfortunately, she's not going to find one here.]
Your turn.
no subject
[Wait.]
Or, well, I used to be.
no subject
[She snorts, her voice turning slightly bitter.] What, did your outpost get attacked by an alien, too?
[She's joking, of course.]
no subject
Yeah, we did. It was the shape-shifter kind.
no subject
I can't tell if you're joking or not.
[Said in a flat tone.]
animal death mention
[Wait for it...]
And it almost got me too.
no subject
[Ripley pauses, mulling this new information over in her mind. That actually contextualizes his arrival in a different light.]
The alien my crew faced never shapeshifted, but.... [She shakes her head. What are the odds?] Is that why you were yelling for people to stay away from you?
no subject
[But thankfully it didn't! :)]
What kind of alien did you guys face off against?
no subject
It... [Ripley chews her bottom lip, her expression still stoic. She sighs, crossing her arms.] I don't know how to describe it, we only ever saw glimpses of it. Whatever it was, it was big and black, sort of like...a bug. A bug with acid blood and a killer instinct, apparently.
[She shakes her head.] Whatever. It's dead, now.
no subject
[That sounds awful.]
How'd you guys kill it?
no subject
[There's a significant pause as she turns away from Bennings.]
Cost me my entire goddamn crew just to do that.
