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.))

It was hard, but not as hard as the giant boss one! We all nearly died fighting that one.

[ It was soooooooo hard ]

[latebluemer]

The giant boss dragon? Why were you fighting your country's wars, anyway...

[She sounds a little dubious because Cinque + battlefield = ??? even if she remembers certain odd little snippets of her profile that just seemed like they'd been pasted on the wrong person. Hm. Also the mace is a thing, yes. And the possible pyro tendencies.]

[whirlingmace]

There weren't a lot of soldiers left so they decided to use us cadets. The school was a lot more quiet after that...

[ She can't remember the faces, but she remembers the noise. And then remembers how it suddenly felt a lot more lonely there :< ]

[latebluemer]

Did... you win?

[It really seems like a bad joke to call it winning despite what little she knows of the situation, but she keeps getting hit with stuff like this so she's just sort of slowly absorbing it. Man.]

[whirlingmace]

[ Is it winning if you die in the end?

She'll think for a moment before slowly nodding. ]

We ended the war and made everything better for everyone. A brighter and better future.

[latebluemer]

And now you're here.

[It probably rankles, if you ended one war only to get tossed into whatever this is.

It's still going to take her a little bit of time to figure out exactly where Cinque is coming from, in her funny mix of childishness and war and noise and warmth, but for now she can understand a little better. What she's left behind and who.]
