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.]

Something called 'Progress City'. I don't recall Elysium building a-- wait.

[He glances at the Star, then back to his own ticket. Back to Star, and then the ticket. Maybe three more times for good luck.]

Wha-

[ilovepuppies]

[Star does a few doubletakes of her own. It's more of a quintuple take at this rate. She looks at Lekmet, then down at her hands to confirm that yes- she still has skin, so she's not dead. That's... a plus??]

Hang on, is it already that day you're allowed to come visit already? It's only been like two weeks!

[angelgoatdemon]

[A quick glance at the others made sure he's the only skeleton around, so unless this group decided to rob a grave together...?]

It's nowhere near close to visit, maybe a whole bunch of people decided to curse themselves from the living world just to see?

You didn't steal anything, did you? W-Wait, but this doesn't look like Elysium. Oh no- Oh no no no no not again-

[PLEASE NOT ANOTHER RITUAL HE'S ALREADY DEAD????]

[ilovepuppies]

[Hahaaaa okay Star was fine as long as she didn't say it out loud but now it's right out there in the open. LET'S PANIC!]

I-it's not! It can't be! Hades is, like, SUPER dead! And I have this!

[She produces the wand.] I'll blast anyone who tries to make us murder someone!

[angelgoatdemon]

Hades is long gone, it can't be! He's much deader than I am!

[The lack of lungs won't stop him from hyperventilating a little bit.] It's gotta be someone uhhh-

I'm not sure how anyone expects to kill who's already dead? Hopefully it's not that, anything but that!

[ilovepuppies]

[It's cool, Star can do enough hyperventilating for the both of them.]

Here's what we're gonna do. If anybody approaches us, I blow them up. Sound good?

[She jumps in front of him, wand at the ready, as if he's not the invulnerable one here.]

[angelgoatdemon]

[Quickly nods, and just. detaches one boney arm to use like a club.]

If it goes south, I'll smack 'em. Not as effective as a chainsaw, but it should work-!!!

[what the hell goatdad]

[ilovepuppies]

[Between her mom and Wander, it's kind of weird having a parental figure encouraging violence. And, you know, detaching their own arm to use as a blunt weapon. But she likes it!]

You know what? I feel good about this.

[angelgoatdemon]

[FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! Honestly as long as none of his kids get too hurt or killed ever again he's fine with it. Murder rituals sure does change people!]

Let's mess! Them! Up!

[ilovepuppies]

[some people??? indulge their hyperviolent tendencies???? to cope????]

I knew I could count on you!

[angelgoatdemon]

[THEY ARE SO FREAKING VALID IN THIS CHILIS CITY TONIGHT]
