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.))

[Ripley grimaces, zipping up her jacket a little more so that it covers her face from the chill. Or maybe to cover her expression...?]

Unfortunately. When you live on a space shuttle, you have to be prepared for anything.

[...She doesn't seem to be willing to elaborate on that.]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

[Even he could pick up this was not a pleasant topic for her, but - an Astronaut? That's actually really cool...]

I've been traveling to Nerima - a ward in Tokyo when I woke up here...

[He trails off, usually he's the only one lost, but yet it seems like everyone here has no idea where they are]

[xenoqueen]

Tokyo? That's a million miles away from--

[She pauses. None of this makes any sense.]

Let me ask you, what year is it?

[Might be a good idea to find out how long she's been drifting through space...]

[theycallhimmrpchan]

Eh?

It's 1992.

[xenoqueen]

[...Closes her eyes. It takes a few minutes for her to speak, and she doesn't direct it towards Ryoga.]

Real funny trick, Ash. Now let me know how you got into the goddamn stasis computer, or I'll--I'll--

[She doesn't know what she'll do, to be honest. If Ash did get into the stasis controls, she'd be at his mercy. She then turns to Ryoga, her eyebrows furrowing.]

You're really from 1992? Because last I remember, it was the 22nd century.

[theycallhimmrpchan]

Well... yes? I know it's that the last time I looked at a calendar.

[He scratches his cheek, before Ripley's year starts to sink in]

So you're really from the future?

[xenoqueen]

Your future, I guess. [She shakes her head, sighing deeply. A frustrated expression mars her face.]

But time travel isn't a thing back where I'm from, so...something's up here.

[She can't even think of any conclusions to draw...]
