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.]

I believe we do - if it's not on tap, we definitely have it in cans. Some of my crew drink it so there's always a stash in the back.

[A small cock of the head, and a few moments of deliberation.]

Which I’m sure need organizing and a stock update.

[She was just going to say it. Daria may be rough around the edges sometimes but this person made an honest effort to make people comfortable. Now that she was stuck here, with no money and no place to stay, she knew she had to work. It was hard to just accept charity of any kind for it. Even if everything they all stomached was a bit much today.]

The drink is free, but if ya want to muck around in the back of the club it'll buy ya a night at my inn. It's nicer than wherever the Mayor wants to put ya. I serve breakfast.

[She even makes it herself, usually.]
standingonmyneck: (in the car my stop ok)

I’ll take your word for it.

[She had to remain calm and this was the best way to get started. Room and breakfast. Then...something else.]

As well as that deal.

If yer going to trust one of us, best it be me. Our Mayor has a fine head for makin' sure everything sails smooth and Billy Boy has no rival in technological mumbo jumbo, but I deal in makin' sure people have what they need - ask for Red and you'll always get what you need.
