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.]

Well... I'm not an expert, but if I had to guess, taking the ticket opened. Something? Something under us, and made those work. I wonder if they're just one way, or if they aren't set up to stay open...?

[Her tone is that of someone not confident, but willing to put stock in a theory until proven wrong. This may or may not be a good thing.]

I guess they've gotta be one-way! The portal I tried over there just acts like a wall, no getting through it from this side. There might be another way out, but I haven't really looked around for anything that might work.

[Like another ticket or something. Maybe that's the gimmick here.]
drawntodream: (I am unsure...)

[personal profile] drawntodream 2018-04-02 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Are there even enough portals for all of us? I think it has to be something else. They'd have to be aimed at the right place first, right? Otherwise I could end up going back to your home instead of mine.

Or maybe they just need time to recharge.

[She looks less sure of herself with each passing theory; her volume is similarly decreasing.]

I... don't really know much about portals. Maybe the tickets have to do with sending us to the right place?

I guess we can ask someone, but right now it looks like everybody's just as confused as we are.
drawntodream: (What's that...?)

[personal profile] drawntodream 2018-04-03 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
I don't either, honestly, but it seemed like a good idea at the time? They could use the tickets, but then what issues a ticket home? I don't know anywhere at my academy that gives me a ticket to cross dimensions. [No, her friends just did that of their own accord when needed...]

I have a feeling we'll have to wait for someone that knows more than we do. All of us will just be grasping at straws until then.

Yeah, I think you're right. We can come up with theories all day, but it probably won't get us anywhere until somebody shows up who actually knows what's going on.

Oh, sorry, I completely forgot to introduce myself. My name's Della!
drawntodream: (I'm not worried.)

[personal profile] drawntodream 2018-04-14 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. That's what it'll have to be. We'll figure something out and we'll get home eventually. There really isn't anything else for it.

Oh, yes, sorry! I'm Yui. Pleased to meet you, Della!
