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.))

But it won't do us any good to ponder this mystery out in the open. We need to find some sort of shelter.

[maskarang]

We may need someone to scout ahead for signs of a town. Minerva may not be able to take flight with a rider, but I can still move ahead on my own.

[swordhandled]

That would be useful. You do have good eyes from spending so much time flying on her.

[maskarang]

... No. What I have are honed instincts and senses. I will not have trouble picking up a trail, but my vision is the sense you should be praising the least.

[swordhandled]

All your senses work together, Gerome! Now, more than ever, you should still rely on your eyes to see what might lie ahead of us!

[maskarang]

I will not take off my mask. [ yes, his mask is the problem here. it impairs his vision, you wanna fight about it? ]

[swordhandled]

--Seriously? That's what you're hung up about?!

[maskarang]

You belittle my reasons, Owain.

[swordhandled]

We're risking exposure here, Gerome!

[maskarang]

Yes. We, and now you ask me to expose even more of myself.

[swordhandled]

That mask isn't even keeping you warm! It exposes your ears!

[maskarang]

It warms my face!

[swordhandled]

You lose most of the heat through your ears, you know.

[maskarang]

I know that! [ you??? you. ] Regardless, the mask stays!

[swordhandled]

If you're scouting ahead, it's not like anybody's going to see your face.

From what I can tell, Cynthia and I are the only ones here who know what you look like.

[maskarang]

And it will remain that way.

[swordhandled]

[ i'm going to steal your mask in your sleep ]

[maskarang]

[ don't you touch his mask ]

[swordhandled]

[ too late, plan is in motion ]

[maskarang]

[ luckily between his insomnia and minerva sleeping on his bed, owains chances will be almost zero ]

[swordhandled]

[ curse my desire to cross blades that prevented me from classing into a thief ]

[maskarang]

[ hah

anyway since owain clearly has no more to say, gerome stalks off to do the scouting thing. he did it, he won, and he won without using any logic at all! ]

[swordhandled]

[ makes a face at gerome and just starts doing other chuuni things ]
