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.]

[Surprise! It's this goat again.]
It's not going to come off, I've tried. Want to see a neat trick?
no subject
[ He doesn't see any other dead folks on a quick double-check, but uh. ]
Zeus and the cloud-lion were rather insistent on Elysium being one-way sort of thing? I can't help but find the potential of their not understanding their own jobs worrying.
...A trick? [ Is it related to Lekmet's being here? ]
no subject
OH!!! oh, check this out!
[Goatdad just. pops his hand out off his arm and shakes out the wrist band. It's successful at first, but the band pulls back before he finishes re-attaching his hand back. Maybe that wasn't all too impressive, so he takes off his skull with a bad dad joke in mind.]
Looks like I got a-head of myself there! eh? Eh???? [oh my god]
no subject
The dad-joke less so, and earns Goatdad a Look. ] Kindly don't do that.
It confirms the bracelets are persistent little items, at least. Fortunate we've someone here who could check without harm--glad you showed up before we found anything to remove Freddie's hand with.
[ is. is that a joke.
...no. ]
no subject
[It's probably a trick of the light, but the markings on his skull seem to glow for a bit. After a hearty laugh, he puts his skull back where it belongs.]
Freddie's trying what now-- I think that old man over there is trying to dislocate his thumb to remove it.
I mean, it could be worse. At least the bands aren't trying to shock people to death or something?
no subject
Oh, no no--she realized that [ vague gesture to Lekmet's band ] might be an issue, decided against risking it for the moment. We'd have to remove somebody's hand to truly check, all the same--[ wait what's that about shocking people.
Time to reexamine his own band with a good deal more suspicion! ]--they aren't yet, there's no assurance they can't.
no subject
Hmm...Well, if we have to test something out, I can probably be a lab rat. Lab goat.
If it is another one of those ritual stuff again, I don't really get how they're going to kill someone who's already dead. What are they gonna do, break my bones and desecrate my ashes? [he scoffs, but moreso towards their mystery hosts]
It helps to think these like a stubborn wristwatch that doesn't need to be taken off.
no subject
...I'm afraid that's the sort of thing I'd say warrants a "need to be taken off", yes.
