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.))

[dereban]

Yeah, this definitely does not look like any part of Yokohama that I've seen. It shouldn't even be snowing this time of year.

[moonlightbeast]

Exactly! The leaves should only just be starting to change color.

[dereban]

Yeah... they did give us a date in November, but I'm still pretty confused.

[moonlightbeast]

..November? But it's only September.

[dereban]

That's what the staff said. I remember it being September back home, too.

[moonlightbeast]

Did we somehow lose two months somewhere?

[They did probably get kidnapped and dropped off in the middle of nowhere, maybe they forgot those two months in that time?]

[dereban]

I. . . I'd like to hope not? I mean, they gave me a year in the future, so like. It's more than two months for me?

[moonlightbeast]

They gave you a...what?

[dereban]

They said the year was 2018. Last I remember, it was 2010.

[moonlightbeast]

[That.

Sure is a thing.]

E-eeeeeh?! But that's not the right year at all!

[dereban]

Which one, the former or the latter? ... Or both?

[moonlightbeast]

2010 is a lot closer.

[Sort of. Thanks BSD timeline.]

[dereban]

That's good to know? I'd be kind of worried if I ended up having to hear something about my hometown by accident if someone was actually... from the future.

[moonlightbeast]

Even 2018 isn't far enough in the future for much to have changed though, right?

[dereban]

Probably not, but I would have graduated high school by then. Probably have a job. Maybe I'm famous.

[moonlightbeast]

It's possible! Who knows, maybe if it really is 2018 we can find some information about you somewhere, if you're famous.

[dereban]

I'll pass.

I don't want to change my future if that's going to happen.

[moonlightbeast]

You're not even a little bit curious?

[dereban]

I am, but there's the possibility that if I see it, I might change it and create a paradox.

[moonlightbeast]

ah...but if something is supposed to happen, then won't it happen regardless?

[Conflicting time travel theories ayyy]

[dereban]

If you think that it's some sort of "fate", then maybe, but... I don't want to risk having knowledge of things before I'm supposed to.

[moonlightbeast]

...mmm.

[He would like to know his own future, but he can see why someone might not want to. He's had a front-row seat to how similar questions have destroyed people before.]

Hopefully you do get that future you would like.

[dereban]

I'd like to hope so, too.

[ Just flat out saying it with a shrug. ] What about you? What kind of future would you like?

[moonlightbeast]

[A future where he's free of the strings of his past, where he doesn't have to hurt anyone ever again, where he never has to hear the word 'white reaper' ever again-]

Ah. Well.

I suppose I would like it if I had a well-paying job. Then I could eat anything I want without worrying about the cost.

[dereban]

. . . Your number one priority is food?
