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.))

Re: PROFILE PARADE

[diesifkilled]

I have no idea why mine has the name "Debbie." That's not my name.

[yes this is the most important thing here]

[escardos]

Ohh, that could be your new nickname!

[diesifkilled]

I don't really want a nickname like that, though...

[escardos]

Oh, but you kinda look like a Debbie. Since you like housework and everything.

[ his voice trails off, though, his eyes focused on shirou ]

You do like swords, though, so what about Samurai man?

[diesifkilled]

Actually, I don't want any kind of a nickname. You could just call me by my name.

[escardos]

Oh, so you're like Le Chien! I think he didn't really know about nicknames before I met him, so I'm trying to get him used to them. Don't worry, Debbie, you'll fall in love with your nickname!

[diesifkilled]

I know what nicknames are! I just don't want one, especially not Debbie!

[escardos]

It's a good nickname!

[diesifkilled]

No it isn't! It doesn't even make any sense!

[escardos]

I told you, you do look like a Debbie!

[diesifkilled]

[Why this. Why any of this.]

...There's no way I can get you to stop calling me that, is there.

[escardos]

I think you just need to get used to the name so you can start to like it~

[ no, shirou, you're doomed ]

[diesifkilled]

So, you don't mind if I call you-

[Give him a second to look up your profile, he's still having some trouble figuring out these tablets.]

...Idiot Genius?

[escardos]

Sure, that's fine! Everyone in the Clock Tower calls me that.

[ a pause ]

Well, except the Professor and my classmates. They usually drop the genius or call me things like dumbass or something like that.

[diesifkilled]

In the Clock Tower?

[and he did just take a closer look at the likes on that profile

oh holy shit]

You're a mage!?

[escardos]

Yep!

[ he puffs his chest, very proud of himself. none of that keeping it a secret thing! ]

I'm Flat Escardos, a magus of the El-Melloi School! My professor is none other than the Great Big Ben London Star himself!!!

[latebluemer]

I don't think a lot of the names on the profiles are supposed to be people's names. Or, not their original ones.

[See: her own. See also: everyone with ridiculous or terrible nicknames. As far as that goes, though...]

I don't know why you're 'Debbie', either, but it could have been worse.

[diesifkilled]

Well, yeah. I just thought mine seemed particularly weird.

[He shrugs a little sheepishly.]

It's not like it's a particularly big concern.

[latebluemer]

Hmm. Well, if there's something else you'd rather be called, you can tell people. 'Debbie' is kind of a confusing name for you, anyway.

[She doesn't know you from a brick wall, so she's being open-minded!]

[diesifkilled]

My name's Shirou Emiya. You can just call me Shirou.

[latebluemer]

Shirou-kun it is, then. And you can call me Blue Angel. It's a little weird being called anything else when I look like this.

[The more she comes to accept that this might be a different space, the more she realizes her introduction is going to be. Weird. But it would definitely be even weirder for her avatar to get called Aoi. Never mind the puns.]

[diesifkilled]

Uh, all right. Blue Angel.

[It's a weird nickname or whatever, but. Honestly he's encountered weirder.]

[latebluemer]

[She also ends up looking mildly bemused about it, but at least it doesn't look like she's messing with him or something.]

So, are you also from Japan?

[diesifkilled]

Yeah, I'm from Fuyuki City in [INSERT FAKE PREFECTURE HERE WHO FUCKING KNOWS]

It looks like a bunch of us are from Japan, right? I wonder if there's a reason for that...

[latebluemer]

[It's all good she's also from a fake prefecture of who-knows-where on this damn island.]

Maybe they just didn't feel like looking in bigger countries? [shruug!] Or there was something special about the places we came from...

[She's never heard of Fuyuki, but people here haven't heard of Den City either. She's ignoring the alternate Japans theory!!]
