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.))

[Most people in Link VRAINS don't have pets or mounts or anything else with them (other than the ones with IGNIS stuck on their arms, but that's the exception rather than the rule), unless they're dueling. So when Blue Angel (please note outfit) sees what looks like a duel monster(?), she's immediately drawn in that direction.

She'll approach with curiosity and not all that much caution, because she's still more or less convinced that anything that is humanish is digital and anything that isn't human is a digital hologram, however those work.]

What a small monster... Since you're a detective-- [spoken with mild skepticism] --you know where this is?

thejusticewagon: mildly worried!! (heh i totally knew that!)

[personal profile] thejusticewagon 2018-11-25 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Uh... haven't you seen a pegasus before, actually...?

[...like, she's thrown off the detective thing because usually outrealms people know pegasi...]

I mean, she's smaller than she should be, but she's just a normal pegasus. I guess that deepens the mystery, then...
latebluemer: (バサッ)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2018-11-25 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
... Of course I know what a pegasus is. There are so many horse-like duel monsters I wouldn't know what to do with them all.

[What is she even rattling on about, they're totally talking past each other and this is going to go places. Or nowhere. Probably nowhere.

Anyway, once she's close enough she'll hold out her hand for the wee pegasus to sniff, because she may not have interacted with a winged horse outside of duels before but a horse is a horse!]

I also know they're supposed to be bigger. Maybe there are different rules here.

[Why would the rules shrink things though. Fushigi mystery.]
thejusticewagon: mildly worried!! (heh i totally knew that!)

[personal profile] thejusticewagon 2018-11-27 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[the pegasus looks at Cynthia for confirmation before sniffing a bit warily.]

Duel monsters? I mean, those sound cool as heck, but I've never really heard of them before. Deidere here is just a pegasus. They're pretty common where I'm from, but maybe there's something weird about where you're from...?
latebluemer: (えっ)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2018-11-27 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[A smile spreads on Blue Angel's face when the pegasus reacts to her presence. Whether or not it's a monster or a regular mini-pegasus or whatever, it's kind of cool. She doesn't always have time to appreciate her duel monsters when their actual holograms are used only for dueling.]

Duel monsters are virtual creatures in a game we have.

[That's probably the easiest way to explain it, if she doesn't want to confuse anyone or explain the mechanics in the middle of a blizzard. Maybe?]

So I guess they're... common? In a way. Well, Deidere might not be a duel monster, but she's still pretty cool.
thejusticewagon: mildly worried!! (heh i totally knew that!)

[personal profile] thejusticewagon 2018-11-29 08:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm... not entirely sure what virtual is, but yeah, she's super cool! There's been a lot of stuff I haven't really gotten here, though, which is... weird. Usually I at least kinda get stuff.
latebluemer: (あら)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2018-11-29 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Virtual just means they're not real. They're... images.

[It feels funny to explain it that way when her all of her is virtual right now. Maybe? Time to deny her own existence thanks to the totally harmless medium of card monsters. No problem.

How does Deidere feel about pets on her nose? She has no idea how to pet a horse, she's just going with it. Super light touches!]

But I don't think anyone here really gets all of this. We're in the middle of nowhere and I haven't run into a person yet who knows how they got here...
thejusticewagon: (it's like we're criminals or something)

[personal profile] thejusticewagon 2018-11-30 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... well, I'm not sure if I totally get it, but okay.

[like, as far as the virtual stuff goes. She is going to spend the next while very confused...]

It is a big ol' mystery to everyone, so... I guess we've gotta try and figure it out, then!
latebluemer: (いいでしょう)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2018-11-30 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Here, let me see...

[She can't help at all with the mystery of the blizzard, but it's a quick fix to help with the mystery of the virtual beings.

A quick swipe at the glowing halo on her left wrist, around the floral-themed screen strapped there, nets her a rather ordinary looking card. A moment later, the fairy angel on the right sprouts in a big ol' hologram from the duel disk. She doesn't move or pose, because there's no duel going on, but it's enough to give an idea of what Blue Angel is talking about.

Also you can stick your hand through the image. Rad.]

Meet Trickstar Lycoris. One of my duel monsters.
thejusticewagon: (COOLER THAN COOL)

...

...

...

Holy horsefeathers, that's so freakin' cool! How does that work!?
latebluemer: (えっ)

[personal profile] latebluemer 2018-12-03 06:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh--

[She looks a little startled by the enthusiasm, honestly this is probably the loudest or tied for the loudest reaction to her duel disk she's ever had (because you see, she's clubmates with one of the loudest people in the universe); holograms and advanced tech aren't quite humdrum back home, but it's not like this.

There's a bit of startled scrambling where she thinks quickly to try and pull together something easy to understand.]

Um, the images are made by the machine on my wrist... The information comes from the cards I have stored. I guess you haven't seen holograms before?
thejusticewagon: (WE'RE GOING TO DISNEYWORLD???)

[personal profile] thejusticewagon 2018-12-21 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
No, never! Is that like... just an image you can make out of magic? That's soooo neat!
