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.))

[escardos]

You can talk to birds!?

[ flat doesn't even wait for medic to come to him. as soon as he seems him talking to the bird, he gets so excited that he just has to talk to him! ]

What else can you do? Can you talk to lizards, too? Are you like the bird whisperer?

[blutsauger]

Well, only if they want to listen and talk back, yes. Communication is a two-way street.

[Archimedes hasn't made a proper appearance yet, still huddled inside the jacket. But his coos are loud enough to hear from a modest distance.]

I know nothing about lizards and how they speak, unfortunately. I doubt they have much to say beyond complaining about weather.

[escardos]

Well, it is cold. I think most reptiles would be dead in this weather.

[ He Wants To See Bird! but just listening to the coos is good enough ]

Wait, does that mean that your bird can actually think intelligently? That's so cool!

[blutsauger]

All of them are intelligent in their own way. You just can't assume they're incapable by comparing them to the human mind, ja?

[Archimedes pokes his head out from under the coat collar, curious.

He has his own hat.]

[escardos]

Ah, that's true! All beings are necessary, after all, not just humans.

[ flat smiles when he sees archimedes, fascinated by the little bird ]

Amazing! He's like your sidekick!
