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 can't go around revealing all of my secret plans, you know, that defeats the whole purpose.

[Plus how does he know someone else won't steal them and use it to take all the respect he plans on gathering. Checkmate.]

But the plans are real and they are big. Very big, very real plans. Lots of them.

Oh, come now. You can't even give me a hint? What about your talents? If you have any.
andbegone: (28)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I have more talents than you can even count. I went to college, you know. Seven times. I have seven doctorates. How's that for talent?

[Bagheera doesn't even know what a college is, let alone a doctorate. But he'll play along, for now.]

Oh, really now. What kind of doctorates?

[What are your fake PHDs in, Sheldon.]

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Let's see. Well. Architecture, and... Criminal Justice. Engineering.

[He's very clearly taking the time to try and think these up as he goes.]

Fine Arts. Science... Dentistry. And Psychology. Yes. That's all of them. My doctorates.

[Bagheera is clearly not buying this shit, and if he knew anything about college he'd try to dispute it. Unfortunately, he's just a leopard.]

Very impressive, to be sure. But why only seven? Could you not handle the pressure of an eighth? Nine, maybe? Or a rounded ten?

I could. I chose not to, to pursue a wildly successful business career. Not that you'd understand what that's like.

[despite all his rage he is still just a leopard in a cage]

And just how many doctorates do you have, huh?
marryapanther: (02)

[personal profile] marryapanther 2018-04-01 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Quite a few in the field of psychology.

[Bagheera's just parroting the word from Plankton, but he says it with such sincere conviction that it's almost like he actually knows what the hell he's saying. Still, this discussion isn't about him.]

Regardless of your supposed doctorates and business, how on earth is that alone going to convince people to mindlessly support you?

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Of course you do.

[sure jan]

People will mindlessly support anyone if they're loud enough. I happen to be both very loud and a charismatic genius. There's no way they wouldn't support me.
