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 certainly hope it's neither... I have class today, though I have a feeling I'm not going to make that either. Haruka-chan would complain if I got into trouble without her, at any rate. I had bad enough luck getting attacked by monsters, now I'm being spirited away to interdimensional theme parks? I'll never hear the end of it!

[The "complaining" is in a light tone; it isn't too serious a concern.]

[ Class- Michiru wishes she only had something so trivial to worry about. Though the mention of 'Haruka-chan' draws her attention well enough. She turns her attention to the other girl and tilts her head. ] I think being absent from class is the least of your worries today...

Does your 'Haruka-chan' complain about being left behind a lot? [ It doesn't sound like her own- and certainly she knows everyone that Haruka does... but her curiosity is piqued regardless. ]
drawntodream: (I think that's fine.)

I SOMEHOW FORGOT that name was important, go me

[personal profile] drawntodream 2018-04-03 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Not specifically about being left behind, no. But I've gone off on an adventure without her, and saving me when something happens is kind of her thing. It's happened...

[She counts on her fingers.]

-that first time with Close, the time with the Sun Key, the time on the hill, and then the last one... Four times now? She does her work as a Princess well-, ah, did her work well, that's in the past now. But still, I think she'd take me disappearing into thin air personally.

[Yui giggles slightly, largely aware this probably makes no sense, but it's explanation enough. Probably.]
lipsticklez: (009)

lol! it's all good, it worked out! XD

[personal profile] lipsticklez 2018-04-03 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's... well it's an explanation, that's for sure. Michiru blinks and hides her laugh behind her hand. ]

Well, if saving you is her specialty- I can see how this might be a personal affront. [ Even if she's not sure what half of that meant. ] I've met others who are lucky enough to have people close to them here, for better or worse. I still haven't decided if I would wish that on my own Haruka.

[ That should be explanation enough for why she took such interest in the name ]
drawntodream: (Sounds perfect!)

[personal profile] drawntodream 2018-04-03 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yui's eyes widen as she realizes what that means, before she calms a bit and smiles.]

Oh, I get it. I mean, it'd be weird if you knew a Haruka, and she were the same person as my Haruka-chan, but we didn't know each other... But in any event, no, I don't think I'd necessarily want her to be here. Not without knowing what's going on, and not when she has dreams of her own to chase. It would ease my mind, certainly, but she'll be better off at Noble Academy.

As it seems, both of our Haruka's are very dear to us. [ Alright, her own might be dear in a much different manner, but... ]

I would feel better if she were here, but I know how selfish that must sound. [ She pauses for just a moment, adjusting the purse on her shoulder before holding her hand out. ] I'm Michiru, by the way.
drawntodream: (I appreciate that.)

[personal profile] drawntodream 2018-04-04 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes, I think you're right. I legitimately don't know where I'd be without her, after all.

But I also don't think that's so selfish. We're stuck in a faraway place, not knowing when we can return or even if it's safe here. That's just wanting a friend close to hand in a strange situation. I understand that very well, I just don't think she can become the princess she wants here. [That one is... loaded a bit, but again, not worth explaining now. She has a sense there'll be all the time in the world for that.]

Yui. Pleased to meet you! [She grins, shaking the offered hand; this place might not be all bad after all.]
