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.))

Huh?

[she at least manages to get that out before the snowball hits her square in the face.]

...oh, come on, now, buddy. You know what this means, right...?

[...she sounds a little more mischievous than angry, though, especially since she's not-so-stealthily getting some snow together herself...]

[escardos]

I think it means a snowball fight~.

[ and, yep, he's grinning excitedly as he watches her gather snow. he, too, will start making his second snowball in order to Begin The Fight ]

[thejusticewagon]

A snow war, even!

[She's valuing speed over quality at the moment, so in her enthusiasm the first snowball she throws kind of dissolves into something of a snow mist as it flies towards Flat...]

...uhhhhh I do better at this usually hang on!

[escardos]

It's alright! You just gotta press the snow close together!

[ he is actually doing as she asked and is waiting for her!! it wouldn't be a fun snowball fight if it isn't a fair one, after all. ]

[thejusticewagon]

Ah... I'm usually better at this, but I'm kinda out of practice! Let me see...

[since he's waiting, she'll try and make something reasonably perfect... and then, when she's satisfied, she'll nod!]

Okay! I made a better one! Now it's time for war! Stunning Snowball Smaaaaash!

[And with that, she'll toss a snowball at Flat with all her might!

[escardos]

[ and the snowball hits! partially because flat wanted to feel the hit of this super snowball (!) but also because he kind of stopped paying attention.

he laughs, however, uncaring of the snow in his hair. ]

That was amazing!! My turn! [ he scoops a bunch of snow in his hands, pressing it into a ball which he tosses with a shout: ] Super Snowball Cannon!!

[thejusticewagon]

Ahh!

[she was trying to make more snowballs, so she wasn't paying attention! She's got snow all over her face....]

Your attack was definitely formidable... but not enough!

[GOOD THING SHE MADE THOSE SNOWBALLS!]

Rapid-fire Snowball Striiiike!

[AND THERE THEY GO!!]
