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'd like to see you try. You usurp me, I'll re-usurp you.

False. I’m un-usurpable. Unsurpable!

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 09:40 pm (UTC)(link)
You're lying. I bet nobody's even tried before. I could usurp you in a day.

[personal profile] itsthecount 2018-04-01 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Then do it, big-shot.

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
How do you know I haven't done it already?
itsthecount: (006)

[personal profile] itsthecount 2018-04-01 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Because I’m still mayor!
andbegone: (03)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen any proof. I can yell at people all I want, too, for all I know they'll listen to me just as well as they listen to you.
itsthecount: (007)

[personal profile] itsthecount 2018-04-01 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I’ll have you arrested and hung.
andbegone: (48)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll have you arrested and hung for threatening to have me, the new mayor, arrested and hung.
itsthecount: (009)

[personal profile] itsthecount 2018-04-01 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Then we shall have a double hanging! A suicide pact. Tragic. The death of the mayor and the wannabe mayor. Deeply ironic.
andbegone: (42)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-01 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
So be it. [he's clearly the real mayor in this scenario so at least he goes out in power.] A fitting end, the cheap imitation going out at the same time as the genuine article. It's almost poetic.

[personal profile] itsthecount 2018-04-02 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
I’m so glad you agree.
andbegone: (12)

[personal profile] andbegone 2018-04-02 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Don't count on it happening again.
