Intro Log

Who: Everyone!
What: Your first magical day
Where: Progress City Tranport Center
When: Right now
Warnings: None planned!



[Today you found a ticket to a theme park. It seems relatively normal, except that it reads: Lifetime Parkhopper Pass to Progress City. ”The Most Magical Pocket Dimension in the Multiverse!” This is not a theme park you have ever heard of, if you live in a world where theme parks are of the norm.

For some reason you’re drawn to the ticket. There’s something… magical in this piece of paper, and you can practically hear it calling out to you, and you feel compelled to pick it up. It’s strange, but it’s a piece of paper, what’s the worst that could happen?

However, the moment you pick it up, you feel yourself being pulled. There is nothing pulling you but there is an overwhelming sensation that something is pulling you by the chest into the ground. You don’t have time to process what’s going on before you suddenly fall over, the strange feeling going away the moment you hit the ground.

It takes a few moments for you to regain your bearings, but as you look up you are suddenly hit with the fact that, wherever you were before, you certainly aren’t there anymore. It appears to be a transport station of some sort, and a very sleek and new one at that. Monorails pass by the station every couple of minutes, with small, slower moving vehicles consistently move in and out of the center.

The innermost wall, right behind where you stand, is lined with portals. It appears that you came in through this portal, but if you try to go back the way you came in, you’ll find that you are unable to enter it, no matter how hard you try.

While the realization that you are now trapped in this strange place, you will soon find that you also have a strange band strapped to your dominant wrist. No matter how hard you try to take it off, it seems like it’s stuck on there.

At least you’re not alone, along with a bunch of other people who arrived around the same time you did, there are humanoid people who seemed to be intrigued by your arrival. They’re all generally nice, but get confused if you ask them why you’re here and why you can’t leave. They will, however, happily tell you the name of the place you’re in if you ask:

Progress City.]

[...There's always different ways to accept waking up in a strange new place, but this is one of the stranger.]

You're, uh... looking pretty comfy there.
tadaishi: (:))

[He's glad for that, and also glad to see someone familiar that also recognizes him.]

Wendy! It has, hasn't it? I didn't think we'd run into each other again already...you went back to Oregon, right?
notasingleword: (Huh?)

[personal profile] notasingleword 2018-04-01 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well this lady seems to be... calm for some reason. Maybe she knows what's up.]

Um hey... do you know what's going on around here?

[like most of the other veterans, Freddie has become solidly convinced they're all five minutes from a host appearing and introducing them to a brand new round of murdergames, so she's just walking around and taking inventory, mentally sizing up this go-around's competition...]

... Evie? [no. this couldn't be. these games hadn't touched her world outside of herself, not yet. this was. not the best sign.]

[Della, personally, is having a great time. Sure, it'd been kind of confusing for the first thirty seconds or so, but a quick survey of the surroundings had proven that it was all a real, actual place and not some sort of weird illusion (something that she's so used to by now that it's boring).

By 'survey', of course, she means she went around trying to shove everything over and tossing herself into walls in an attempt to pass through them. As one does.

But none of that had helped any, which means she gets to come up with new answers for a new situation instead and that's great! That's exciting! She should've brought one of her bags along, she could use a journal to write this all down in... as it is, she'll just rush right up to one of the other new arrivals (at least they look new) to see if they have any theories instead. She's never had this many people to discuss things like this with before.]


Hey! You found one of those tickets too, right? How do you think that worked?
notasingleword: (Sigh)

[personal profile] notasingleword 2018-04-01 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think I can handle another one. We barely got out last time.

[Also she's still kinda traumatized about being murdered, but Ariel's just gonna keep that to herself.]

( the screaming is hard to miss, even for a princess in the midst of a veritable fashion crisis. she's not entirely self-absorbed, okay. the creature's bright orange and doesn't look like any she's ever seen before, and she's met a lot of sidekicks and henchmen both in auradon and on the isle.

so don't mind as evie very cautiously approaches this fellow new arrival's corner of choice, a cautious hand touching him on the shoulder. )


Are you okay?
kindaruledatit: (Default)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-04-01 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! All the way back home. And you went back to... wherever it is you're from! Right? It's like San Francisco but not, right?

[Help her, it's been a while.]
faciliheir: (us and our shadows too)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-04-01 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but now we're experienced! We're old pros! We'll kick the bad guy's butt in half the time! [which is still like. at least a month and ten deaths.] This place looks more open than the manor, at least. We don't seem too trapped.
hallotween: (when I look over my shoulder)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-04-01 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Magic, duh. [said with absurd confidence and certainty] What else would it be?

[After the whole getting put into exile by his old best friend thing, Richard and Galavant had been on the road for some time. Or well, at sea with some pirate buddies of Gal. Though at some point a few months into their voyage a mysterious ticket had made its way onto the ship, and Richard being himself, he had to have it. It looked like nothing he'd ever seen before. Very, very tempting.

But the last thing he expected when picking up was being teleported to.... wherever this place is. And oh my god, what is this place?

Eventually after having a minor emotional breakdown Richard decides to go up to a few of the other guests here with him.]


You don't happen to know where we are, do you? Or.. what those are?

[He says, gesturing to the monorails.

because haha hey what the fuck]
beakie: (MEEP!!)

[personal profile] beakie 2018-04-01 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
MEEP!

[Beaker practically leaps a foot into the air when he's touched. Sorry about your eardrums, Evie. He starts rambling on about portals, and a ticket, and wanting to go home--]

Meep meemiimeep meemoo meep meemiimeep meep meemoo meep mii meep meemoomeep! Meep meemiimeep meemoo meep meep--

[Why does this sort of stuff always happen to him? The more he speaks, the faster and more panicked his tone of voice becomes. It'll be a miracle if she stranger can even understand what he's saying.]
derring_do: (03)

[personal profile] derring_do 2018-04-01 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, some kind of tech from some sort of advanced civilization? Like robots. Or aliens.

[On second thought that's kind of an absurd explanation. Not that magic is much better, in terms of having proof around to support it...]

All the magic I've seen usually involves ghosts or curses, and I haven't really noticed signs of either of those. But I guess the day is still young!
kindaruledatit: (Oh wait what)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-04-01 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh, you're a talking duck. Wendy's used to stuff like that.]

My guess? Magic. I've seen a lot of magic, and this definitely feels like it, unfortunately.
computerwife: (6)

[personal profile] computerwife 2018-04-01 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
As if I'd know anything about what's going on here. I'm just as clueless as you, dumbass.
notasingleword: (Peek)

[personal profile] notasingleword 2018-04-01 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Trapped is still trapped...

[She holds up her wrist.]

What do you think this thing is for? We didn't have anything like this last time.

[He just glances up at the monorail briefly before looking back towards Richard, Extremely Judgmental.]

Those are trains. [like fucking obviously] And where we are, no, but believe me I intend on finding out.

[he's gonna threaten to overthrow the nearest government official, that'll show them]
evilette: ( footlights | DNT ) (♕ and i'm gonna shine like a star)

( evie's never been so happy to see a pair of pigtails in her life; she gasps, face lighting up, practically squealing: ) Freddie!

( were this yet another murdergame, evie might appear to be going for the kill early in the form of two arms flung around freddie's neck as the princess practically yanks her into the tightest hug of her life, her cheek smooshing against the other girl's. rest in peace, gone but not forgotten, et cetera. all of evie's internal wishing for mal and her magic has seemed to manifest in the form of a facilier instead, but that's more than okay. )
hallotween: (a million things I want)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-04-01 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[dryly] Well, it might still be robots. It's just also probably gonna be magic. It's not the two are mutually exclusive, right?
faciliheir: (back this motherfucker out)

[personal profile] faciliheir 2018-04-01 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[she frowns, examining it.]

... Shock collar? Usually that's around the neck, though. It's probably keeping us in here. [THAT'S SUPER COMFORTING RIGHT SHE'S HERE TO HELP]
tadaishi: (so then I...)

[personal profile] tadaishi 2018-04-01 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
California. You're close, it's San Fransokyo...'San Francisco' isn't wrong, it's just an old name. It was renamed after being rebuilt following an earthquake...sometime in the early 1900's.

[Way before he was born.

There's a random history fact for your day, Wendy.]
andbegone: (44)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[oh good Karen's here too. great. wonderful. awesome.]

I didn't come here to be insulted, Karen. Besides, if you're as clueless as I am then that means we're both dumbasses. [checkmate]
derring_do: (02)

[personal profile] derring_do 2018-04-01 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Aren't they?

What, have you met magic robots before? Because I gotta say, that's a new one. [even for her]
evilette: ( footlights | DNT ) (♕ who we are)

[personal profile] evilette 2018-04-01 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
( evie accidentally scares beaker which then accidentally scares evie, making her squeal a bit in surprise and take a step back, practically stumbling over her own heeled boots. her heart is pounding in her chest which makes it a little hard to focus on what this creature is saying, but regardless, his words spilling out of his frowning mouth faster than she could possibly even keep up with.

at least she can see his face now, popped out of the collared shirt he'd been hiding within.

get it together, evie. you're the king's royal advisor. with a self-calming exhale, she kneels down in front of him to get on his level, try again: )
Hey, hey, you have to go a little slower. Let's start at the beginning. Where did you come from?
derring_do: (03)

[personal profile] derring_do 2018-04-01 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Guess I'm not as used to magic as I thought I was.

[Then again it's not like she's gotten to fully test every magical artifact they've run into. Clearly she just has to put more time into it.]

I've never seen anything that fancy before, especially not disguised as something like a ticket!
