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.))

I think my profile was fine!

[ says the one whose nickname says 'idiot genius'. ]

Although this place is kinda looking less and less like a haunted hotel... you'd think there would be more cow webs.

[latebluemer]

[To be fair, 'idiot genius' is at least a backhanded compliment instead of an outright insult. Or screaming. There's been a lot of screaming lately and she's finding that the lack of it may be something to be thankful for??]

It's not just what's in the profiles that's the problem, you know. It's that they exist at all.

[Most people seem to have gotten this point. But then again, she's pretty sure she saw this guy having a snowball fight back on Blizzard Road, so. Welp.]

... I don't think this hotel is meant to be haunted. Not in the way you're thinking.

[escardos]

Mm, actually, doesn't it seem a bit sci-fi like to you?

[ yeah he's still going with the movie themes here ]

Like, the profiles with the information that not many people know, the whole 'gaining consciousness in the middle of a snowstorm'...definitely sounds like it's from a sci-fi movie. So what if....[ he snaps his fingers ] what if this is a haunted hotel run by aliens?

[latebluemer]

[... Whoops, Blue Angel over here actually starts laughing a little when he mentions sci-fi and then it just gets worse once they get to the aliens because hoo boy. It all sounds so stupid but then she looks over their situation and it's. Well.]

Sorry, sorry! I'm not laughing at you, I promise!

[Maybe a wee bit. But only a wee bit. It takes her a bit to compose herself again, but then she just looks a little wry about it.]

I'm... pretty sure that if it's haunted, then it can't only be sci-fi, can it? [okay, no, being serious now, ish] I've been in a sci-fi movie since I woke up, you know, but it's -- there's a lot more here that can't be explained that easily. How would you even know it's aliens?
