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.]

in the meantime, the thought of an amusement park sounds so exciting that evie can hardly fathom it, and finds herself upset that they don't have this — disney world back in auradon. on the isle? sure, she could understand that. certainly the people of auradon would want their kids to go to the most famous amusement park in the world, though, right?
beaker decides to drop the subject though, and she nods instead. )
Well, Beaker, I go to school at Auradon Prep so that takes up a lot of my time — but I like hanging out with my friends a lot, and I design and make clothes in my spare time. Oh, and advise the King. That's something I'm really proud of! ( and she beams, brightly as ever. )
no subject
Wait, hang on--a king?!]
Meep?! Meep--meep...miimeep meeoo meep meemii! Meemiimeep meemoo meep meemii meep moo--mee miimee meep meemiimeep. Meemiimeep meemoo meep meemii?
[Well--that's...very impressive! Beaker can't say the same about his own job--he's just a lab assistant. Now how did she get that position?]
no subject
I go to school with the King — we're really good friends.
( which is true. she's particularly interested by what beaker says, though. )
But I think your job is very impressive, Beaker! What kind of lab do you work at? I love science.
no subject
Meemiimeep meemoo meep meemii--meep meemoo meep Meemiimoo.
[What a strange place--he'd like to learn a little more about Auradon.]
Mee? Meep meemiimeep meemoo Meepet Meep, meemiimeep...meep, meemiimeep meemii meep meemoo meep.
[Him? Well, for a while he worked at Muppet Labs, but...recently, he's been sort of doing whatever he can. He's been living--well, not really living--existing in another city for a few months, and has been working with a few new friends. He mostly works on inventing useful things, like automatic pumpkin carvers and stuff.]
no subject
But more importantly —
( no, seriously. evie is unironically invested in beaker's muppet lab endeavors, as someone with a newfound affinity for science and chemistry and all sorts of things like that. )
Automatic pumpkin carvers — huh! What types of things do you carve into the pumpkins? I bet you've come up with things that are really wicked.
no subject
Meemiimeep meemoo meep! Meep meemii meep meemoomeep, meep meemiimeep!
[Well, they can make just about anything! The default setting is the classic pumpkin face, with triangle eyes and a toothed smile, but by uploading custom images, they can carve just about anything! He once carved his coworker's face onto a nice green pumpkin.
He probably shouldn't mention that he accidentally carved his own head once. Like, his hair turned green like a pumpkin stem and everything.]
