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.))

[ Does this face look like the face of a believer to you? The answer is absolutely not, but she's gone through some weird shit that she's actually half considering to actually believe it. ]

You mean real, actual magic. And not like... a parlor trick?

[diesifkilled]

I mean real, actual magic.

[dereban]

How?!

[ Aaaand there's the surprise. ]

[diesifkilled]

Well... I know this might sound hard to believe, but I'm a mage.

[As if that explains anything.]

[dereban]

[ Just going to suck in a breath and clap her hands together as if that will help her in any way.

Spoilers: it doesn't. ]

Okay, that I get, but more importantly, I meant-- how does it work? Is it just poof, it appears, it disappears?

[ She's gotta know. ]

[diesifkilled]

I mean, it really isn't that simple-

[Wait, no. He can't start explaining how magic works on a snowy road in the middle of god knows where.]

We should be trying to find some shelter right now. I'll answer your questions once we do, okay?

[dereban]

[ Okay, she's honestly a little glad it's a little more complicated, but then she realizes that yes, she got a little excited about learning new things. She likes learning new things, even if she's not entirely enthused by, well. Supernatural things.

So she just squares her shoulders, just a little bit to relax her nerves. ]

Right. . . we probably should at least focus on shelter, given we are in "who knows where" location.
