ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE...

[pleasureislanders]

The first thing you notice upon gaining consciousness is the smell. The air smells musty and woody, like the back corner of some forgotten tourist trap. As you stir yourself awake, you find yourself in a wicker bed with a soft sheet draped over you. The room’s walls are wood-paneled, and a nearby desk displays a digital clock reading “9 AM”. A singular potted plant provides the barest amount of decoration--though, the exact plant species differs between rooms. A note written in flowing cursive has been taped to your door.

MEETING IN THE LOBBY AT NOON
- G ♥
As you make your way out of your room, you’ll find yourself on a balcony overlooking a octagonal lobby below. Various artifacts and trophies decorate the club from top to bottom, cluttering the walls and any available surface. From here, you can clearly see that the marble floor of the lobby is decorated to look like a compass. Descending the stairs will reveal that, in addition to the artifacts mounted on the walls, several plaques have been put up detailing the lives of those trapped here--including you.

If you peer out the windows, you’ll see a tropical island sprawled out before you, overgrown with palm trees and shrubs. If you peer far enough above the treeline, you might even be able to see the ocean. No matter how hard you try, the front door is sealed shut and the windows seem impossible to break.

You've got until noon 'til the meeting happens. For now...enjoy the club, if you can.

[ OOC: Welcome to the Adventurers Club! We're so excited to have you here. This is the intro log--feel free to mingle on this post to your hearts content. At 6 PM EST, we'll be introducing the host! If you have any questions, feel free to direct them to the mods. ]

Gotcha! Then me, for one. And lemme tell you, from experience? This is pretty shoddy work, letting people just wander like this. It's how you get tweens in the walls, and that's just messy.

[diebartdie]

[...should he take that as an insult.]

I must say that I've never had a question like that floated at me before. Given Cecil's taste for terrible wine and fencing of all things, I would be much quicker to pin that label on him.

Lobby

[dannydorito]

Press it some more, I think you've almost got it!

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ here he is, apocalypse's shitty son, i guess??? x-23 is less freaked out by this than one might expect, but her stance does shift less casual- or, at least, as casual as this gremlin child gets ]

... Well, I can't say I've ever been trapped anywhere and allowed to walk around unless there wasn't any point to getting out.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ No but maybe his "bad criminal" gene should.

She sighs. ]

Okay, if you don't know, then it's not that. Back to just random people, I guess.

Balcony

[Daisy herself was pretty on edge, waking up in a situation like this. She did Not want to be kidnapped again and she didn't think she could trust anyone.

So when she runs into Cass with her fists raised, she raises her own fists and attempts to look threatening.]

I could ask you the same thing.

[diebartdie]

[Squint. What is this, writing for ants?]

So rather than prioritizing your escape, you've been standing behind this bar for the past hour. Hoping and praying you'll be able to work the phrase "eagle eye" into your conversation with the poor souls who have to listen to whatever worddribble fails to stay in your mouth.

Typical.

[dannydorito]

Ooh, I bet we're supposed to run around trying random things to open an exit till we get die of exhaustion. Like those weird games sad lonely people play where you take the ladder out of the pool after everyone's swimming.

[dannydorito]

If I escaped, I'd miss all the fun of watching you chumps try it.

lobby

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Guh, I can't take it anymore! Enough!

[It's not like she wasn't just having the same problem with her own profile. But clearly there is cause to gently push Doofenshmirtz away from his profile as the cacophony of noise shrinks down to just a single song.]

Stop pressing it!

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ she has no idea what that means ]

So... some kind of puzzle?

[dannydorito]

Puzzle implies there's a solution, kid.

[diebartdie]

Spoken with all the wisdom of a gothic fourteen-year-old.

lobby

[crudeforaguylikeyou]

Ah, yes, I'm sure it'll stop if you just keep doing the same thing over and over. Twenty-fifth time's the charm.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

Ugh, then what the heck is going on?

[ This, at least, is not directed towards Bill. She accompanies it by kicking a wall, which connects solidly but doesn't do much since she doesn't feel like using her Foot Knife. ]

balcony here we gooo

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[She knows that voice. She's heard it every day, she's heard it in her dreams.]

Raps?

[Pinch her, she must be dreaming now.]

Lobby

[saurasaland]

[Daisy: I can't trust anyone here
Also Daisy: ... But she looks too sweet and overeager to be evil or a kidnapper.

She cautiously approaches Rapunzel and stands besides her, looking at the profiles and checking out Rapunzel from the corner of her eye.]

I'm guessing it's like a jukebox? That's what it looks like to me, at least.

Zebra Mezzanine

[saurasaland]

[So

That was a weird thing to hear the moment she left the room.

And she is Pretty sure that's something an evil dude would say.

She's not going to entirely leave her room yet, instead looking through the crack in the door suspiciously.]

Who the hell are you?

[dannydorito]

You'd be the one with personal experience! But don't be too down on yourself, goth kids of all ages can be incredibly valuable as really depressing space fillers or emergency rations, if you're desperate.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Surely this will all calm down soon-]

Are we gong to have a problem?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

I don't need anyone's help!

[She says, doing just that. Boy it's kind of getting on her nerves.]

[doofenshmirtz]

Woah, language! This is a kid's show, you know! I...I think there are kids here, at least.

[At least Doofenshmirtz seems receptive to being called a 'genius'. He puffs out his chest a little--which looks awkward due to his horrible back posture--and grins.]

Yeah, that's exactly what I plan to do once we see whoever this "G" is!

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I don't know. You're the one who wanted to fight first.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Well, it's hardly as threatening as a 4'11 gremlin that was just scaling the walls, so Cass isn't as put off by it.

Doesn't mean she's lowering her guard yet.]

Okay, is everybody in this inn looking for a fight?

[doofenshmirtz]

Ehhhh, not really as much as a supervillain as just a regular villain, you know? Evil mad scientist?

[He rolls his eyes and scoffs.]

Ugh. I hate the word supervillains, it just sounds...sounds so pretentious, you know? I mean, anyone can dress up in a fancy dramatic costume and shoot laser beams out of their eyes and have an evil laugh, but so what? None of that's gonna help you if you don't know how to build your way out of a bad situation! Your stupid laser eyes get stopped by some stupid rock, and then they're like, "Ohhhh, no! I've been defeated!"

[As if he doesn't get his butt kicked on a weekly basis by a blue platypus.]

Like...if I had my way, and if my weakness was just some stupid rock, I'd make sure that I'd eradicate that rock from existence!
