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.]

[The mood was very mutual. At least by now, Wendy wasn't new to the feeling, but it was slowly becoming irritating rather than the sense of dread others must have surely been feeling.]

Hey man, let's hope, but people panic for less. I should know.
standingonmyneck: (sure okaaaaay)

From experience, I can agree with that. Where I lived before it all started, people panicked over last season mini skirts.

[She let out another shrug. Still that cautious air, mainly because she just got here, but she could agree with the notions so far.]

As long as the pork dinner isn't a thing, I think I can live with the emotional scars this would leave me.
kindaruledatit: (Oh wait what)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-04-17 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oof. Sounds kinda like home. All kinds of people like that.

[Shrugs her shoulders. What fun.]

"Pork dinner"? Is uh, there some story behind that, or...
standingonmyneck: (pepsi)

[personal profile] standingonmyneck 2018-04-17 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Like it sounds like.

[Time for a story then, Wendy. First to know about Koriko in some detail. She was comfortable with it. Daria didn't have anything to hide about it.]

We were all bound by contract with a debt to pay and spirits to serve by doing menial tasks and jobs. It could take a few bad customer reviews to the boss and we're turned into pigs for dinner.

[So lax. She knew she sounded way too lax. Mainly because it helped her a lot to consider that her friends that left DIDN'T turn into pigs...Aside from knowing what happened to that one. She hoped he was okay, now she thought about it.]
kindaruledatit: (Oh wait what)

[personal profile] kindaruledatit 2018-04-17 06:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, like... actually eaten for dinner? [She winces, sympathetically. There's something deeply familiar about that, and also deeply disturbing.]

Yikes. All we had to worry about was staying alive. Every time someone got murdered we had to figure out who did it, and that person died too. Everyone got trapped in a box in the Underworld, so...

[Vague... hand wobbling???]

At least nobody got vored.
