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.))

The profiles really don't mince words, do they? Still, someone from Yokohama who likes to eat... It's a little comforting just to know that there's other people here from Japan.

[She's still not sure what to make of everyone else, or the people who insist they're from places that sound straight out of fantasy maps and who don't even know what Japan is.]

[moonlightbeast]

Inaba-san is from Yokohama as well! So that makes at least three of us.

[He is pretty sure the older adults are American, though.]

[latebluemer]

Having two people from Yokohama is pretty impressive. I'm pretty sure there's no one else from Den City, so I guess that does make three of us.

[moonlightbeast]

And maybe more, a couple of the names I got earlier sounded Japanese.

[latebluemer]

Oh, that's true, if you look around at the profiles... There might be more of us.

[There's a moment of thought, because now that they're on the subject of locations, and geography, and the makeup of their little group...]

It's strange, though, isn't it? I don't think this is Japan at all.

[Like, aren't the signs in English. And the architectural styles and everything else...]

[moonlightbeast]

That's probably just a sign that we have been taken very far away from home, I think.

[He's never been to an English-speaking country before, though, so it's a little exciting! Kind of.]

[latebluemer]

[She really hasn't been overseas either -- her brother is the one who travels, and it's not like he's usually had leisure away from work to actually take her along or make it a vacation. Not yet. Maybe someday.

She wants that to be a thing, someday. This, though...]

I really never imagined I'd go overseas like this...
