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.]

That's what it appears. [He goes to one of the portals.] Walt made it look so easy when he made the portals...
tadaishi: (run that by me again)

[personal profile] tadaishi 2018-04-02 12:12 am (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing you can't send us back home for a while, either?

Unfortunately no. I don't have the power to magically teleport people and it seems like every single portal we put up is broken.

But it's strange, why would the portals be active if you can't go through them-

[Rod attempts to push his arm through the portal...

And it goes in without any resistance.]


Huh?
tadaishi: (o.o)

[personal profile] tadaishi 2018-04-02 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
[H u h.

Well now he has to try! It probably won't have the same result, but it's worth a shot.]

[Tadashi is unable to make it through the portal.

However as he tries it, Rod notices something.]


What's that on your arm?
tadaishi: (wat)

[personal profile] tadaishi 2018-04-02 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Well damn.]

On my...?

[He's wearing a t-shirt, butfailed to notice the band until now. It's a white band, plain aside from a design apparently meant to represent Baymax's face.]

No idea...
keyofimagination: (Deepest darkest corner of imagination)

[personal profile] keyofimagination 2018-04-02 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
I believe that's a Magicband. Does everyone who just arrived here have one?
tadaishi: (hmm)

[personal profile] tadaishi 2018-04-02 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I think so? Josh and I do, at least. What is it?

[Might wanna address Joshua's irritation over his.]
keyofimagination: (Wave goodbye to the real world)

[personal profile] keyofimagination 2018-04-02 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's a Magicband. It does a wide variety of things to make day to day life easier, along with being able to temporarily grant you magical powers.

... It really shouldn't be stuck on your arm like that.
tadaishi: (I can fix this with duct tape)

[personal profile] tadaishi 2018-04-02 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
It's not stuck, I just haven't taken it off.

[There has to be a way to get it off. It's small enough to fit snugly on his wrist, so he can't slip it off over his hand, but there has to be a clasp or snap or something on it.

Somewhere.]


Um...maybe it is. What sorta magic powers are we talking about?

[Since he's stuck with it for the time being.]
keyofimagination: (A different kind of introduction)

[personal profile] keyofimagination 2018-04-03 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well isn't that fantastic.

[He seems more angry at himself than Tadashi.]

We produced various cards recently, that can produce elemental magic and various miscellaneous powers. Cleaning up a room instantly, producing a car from thin air, magic like that.

Since we didn't want to shut down magic entirely for visitors, we figured that the cards would be a nice way to monitor it while giving guests who never experienced magic an opportunity to play around with it.
