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.))

[ Inaba. . . actually likes coffee, is frugal, and does not want good coffee to go to waste regardless of how old it is?? ]

Better than sticking around here, that's for sure. Wherever 'here' is. Since it's definitely not the last place I remember being.

[aha. he turns his gaze towards her again, attention immediately arrested by what she said]

. . . it isn't the last place I remember being, either.

Sounds like we should make a "go home" club. Everyone else I've talked to has been saying that, too.

[ And she's asked plenty of people already it seems. ]

Technically, I'm already a part of the "go home" club.

[. . . meaning he does no school extracurricular activities and just goes home after classes every day, but anyway]

Lucky. My school kind of makes it mandatory to take a club.

[ She says that in a way where you can hear slight exasperation but she doesn't seem to be remotely annoyed or even flat out jealous, really. ]

Hm?

[curious!]

And which one did you pick?

I was in the computer club for a while.

[ Until she got kicked out due to a stupid disagreement that she had with the president. ]

And now I'm just the vice president of the Student Cultural Society Club. StuCS for short.

[just like Makoto. . . or, well. similar to Makoto]

Mmm. Do you enjoy it?

It's fun. We mostly slack off, but when we have to do club work, I'm always the one in charge, since our club president is, well. . . she's herself, I guess.

[ That explains nothing. ]

[that explains nothing, but Akira feels a flicker of amusement anyway]

Ah. You're the ruler from the shadows, then.

I mean. I guess? I have to make sure that they get their shit together before deadlines.

[eyeing her thoughtfully]

. . .

You do come off as the responsible type.

Well, someone's gotta be.

Responsibility out of necessity. . .

I don't envy you.

"With great power comes great responsibility" or some bullshit like that, I guess?

[ She's just going to shrug. ] And you really shouldn't. But it's not like it bothers me, really.

Ah. . . I don't know if that's how I'd phrase it.

[shrugs a little, but also. they've been standing for a while]

We should get going, before we freeze over. By the way.

Yeah, probably not the best analogy.

[ Also manages a shrug of her own, indifferent. ]

Yeah, that'd probably be for the best. But at least we can walk and talk? Make it less boring.
