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.]

...

You... don't remember? You don't remember the hotel? Rod? Ben?

[personal profile] greatwidesomewhere 2018-04-01 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I'm sorry, Miss, I...

[She looks almost sad as she shakes her head, wishing she could say something that this girl would find comforting, but.]

I've never met anyone named Ben.
hallotween: (well I'm bored)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-04-01 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh.

[but. she has to remember. forgetting is dangerous for their friends. forgetting means they fade away just that much more, closer and closer to being gone for real. being forgotten is another death.

and Belle doesn't remember.]


You really don't remember me? [because wording it in a more selfish way is a bit kinder than immediately shoving all this heavy santa muerte shit on random people.]

[Belle purses her lips, slowly shakes her head. She feels bad for this girl, because she's obviously...confused, or mistaken.

Or is she the one who's confused?]


I'm very sorry.
hallotween: (the little bright things I bought)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-04-01 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
... It's fine. That's okay. [she can remember hard enough for both of them.]

Well, if you don't remember, then we oughta introduce ourselves again, right? I'm Marnie. [beat] You can introduce yourself, too, even though I already know. Just to start off on the right foot.
greatwidesomewhere: (28)

[personal profile] greatwidesomewhere 2018-04-02 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
[It doesn't...seem okay? Belle's sort of concerned about the implications of that, but...she'll save her questions for now. She manages a small smile, and nods, and holds out her hand to Marnie for a handshake.]

Marnie. It's very nice to meet you. My name is Belle.
hallotween: (let's go down to the tennis court)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-04-02 02:59 am (UTC)(link)
[HANDSHAKE man this is so weird but hey she's. she's not dead, right. that's great.]

Okay, let's get you up to speed on the most important stuff: I'm a witch-- you're not gonna really believe it at first, but you get used to it, and after all, haven't you seen weirder stuff?-- and also, you really like wearing pants, even if they show your ankles, 'cause that's not actually a bad thing. There. I think that's everything of any value.
greatwidesomewhere: (02)

[personal profile] greatwidesomewhere 2018-04-02 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
A witch— [Well, she's right, Belle has to concede. She has seen weirder stuff, and the product of an enchantress, to boot. But the part about her wearing pants has her laughing incredulously.]

That's—really? Pants? Me?
hallotween: (baby be the class clown)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-04-02 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! You love them. Especially jeans, which actually look really great on you. [probably homo]
greatwidesomewhere: (15)

[personal profile] greatwidesomewhere 2018-04-02 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Jeans.

[That's an unfamiliar word on her tongue, but she smiles all the same.]

I'm sure I'll have a thousand questions for you, once I have my bearings. I...hope I can live up to whatever expectations you might have of me.
hallotween: (baby be the class clown)

[personal profile] hallotween 2018-04-04 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Are you still cool and badass and don't take anyone's nonsense? 'Cause that's my only expectation.
greatwidesomewhere: (32)

[personal profile] greatwidesomewhere 2018-04-04 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Well— [She chuckles, pursing her lips.] I can't speak to the former, but I certainly don't take anyone's nonsense.
