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.))

[Yoshi no!]

What's your actual name?

I'm Yoshi Nanase! [Western order.] Everybody calls me Trash, Pest, Maggot, Spineless, Dust, Plankton, Moron and all sorts of other things, so call me whatever name you like!

[...It sounds like he's said this multiple times already.

It's also just as cheerful as the rest.]

...ah. Those certainly are some familiar names.

[Atsushi may have been called them in the past before.]

Though people usually chose 'waste of space' and 'useless' for me, moreso than the ones you listed. Though 'pest' saw a lot of use too.

[A kindred spirit!]

Did they tell you they never wanted to see your face again, too?

Mhmm! They told me I should go disappear, and that nobody would miss me.

[WHY ARE THEY BONDING OVER THIS???]

Yeah, that's exactly it!

[They're both sad white haired disasters.]

After that I moved in with my cousin and never left the apartment for four months!

And that's why I stopped trying to make friends with new people and just followed my boss everywhere.

[Hello fellow sad sack of shit.]

Though if you don't mind, I think I'll call you Yoshi. And if you want, my real name is Atsushi Nakajima.

If that's what you want to call me!

[He has 0 preference how people refer to him, if that list wasn't evidence enough. Whatever makes people happy!]

Should I call you Atsushi? Or Nakajima?

Atsushi is fine.

[He's not going to use garbage names, not when he knows what it's like to be called them.]

Atsushi, then!

So you're bad with friends too?

[Though he did actually make one friend since he got here...!]

Mhmm. At first it's easy to get along, but nobody sticks around once the deep dark secrets start coming out.

Same here! Most people only last about a week before they start thinking I'm weird or creepy.

That sounds about right.

[Welp. This means the weird children will need to stick together now.]

I suppose since we're both weird, maybe that will counter-act the weirdness and make us not run away from each other?

Your profile's kind of shady, but I don't feel like I need to run away or anything!

[Oh. So he did read that.]

Is this what camaraderie is?

[Well, it IS pretty shady, he can't deny that.]

I suppose so! I don't have much experience in it so I'm not completely sure.

Then...!

[The moment of truth!]

Does that mean... we should be friends?!

[If he could make friends with Akira, maybe...!]

That would make the most sense, wouldn't it? Kindred spirits make for good friends.

[Or something like that. And since Yoshi is already garbo-trash, Atsushi won't feel like he's dragging this boy into the garbage with him.]

Uwoh-!

[3rd friend get!!! Amazing what getting kidnapped and stuck in a ski resort will do to your friend count.]

Then... that's that! We're friends now!
