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. ]

We might have to take out a few guards. Shouldn't be too difficult.

[acruelirony]

Can't miss. Yes, he is particularly unsubtle. Not to mention dense.

[The grin is still there, but her tone is increasingly bitter, making the dissonance even worse.

Seems like someone's a little bitter over getting a chandelier dropped on her.]

[bornforit]

I see. I see, yes. And those are on which planet?

[bornforit]

It's okay. You don't have to...apologize. [Leia shakes her head, quickly, grimly.]

No. I just happened to be away. I...watched it happen.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Oh, she likes you]

Won't be too hard for me. You know your way in a fight?

whispers this is gay

[bornforit]

[Leia just smirks. Han Solo has been a terrible influence on her.]

I don't need a weapon to take out a few men.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Us. That's what it had always been, for almost two years. The three of them, versus the world. Even on the road, she... missed the banter with Eugene, hearing the soft tones of Rapunzel's voice...

Leaving Corona just as things had gotten back on track with all of them had been a difficult decision. Not a impossible one - just difficult. She had no idea how quickly she'd start missing that life again.]

I was starting to miss the times when it was just you and me. And Eugene, of course.

[The thought honestly brings a smile.]

I'll be there.

whispers back that's just how it should be

[feudalladyshandmaid]

I've got some weapons right here. [Just oh-so-casually cracks her knuckles.] I'd prefer having my swords, but these'll do.

100% correct

[bornforit]

[Oh, wow. Okay. Leia knows this girl. She grew up being friends with this girl.

Suddenly, Leia feels a little bit better about her odds in whatever place this is.]

We should find others. Strength in numbers.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Good idea. Better to get a lay of the land, see if there's anyone else we can trust to help break outta here.

[Like her princess, or the kid that was scaling the walls.]

Cassandra, by the way.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[....]







Did you say Platypus.

[diebartdie]

...Earth. Obviously.

[doofenshmirtz]

Oh, I've made all the right moves, but I keep getting foiled by my nemesis all the time! It's like he doesn't want me to be right!

[He lets out a dramatic sigh, draping his hand over his face.]

Tell me, you seem like someone who's faced similar experiences in life. How did you deal with it?

[doofenshmirtz]

What? Have you never heard of a platypus before? They're weird little critters, they've got, like, beaver tails and duck bills, but also fur? Also, I think male platypuses have poison spurs on their legs but I don't think I've ever seen Perry use those. Oh, I think they also sweat milk or something? They're like, mono--monotremes? Mammals, but weird and lay eggs--

[He's just going to keep going until Cass interrupts him.]

[goldiloxy]

[...oh. Why does she feel so sad about that? She actually droops, not following.]

...okay?

[goldiloxy]

[That still sounds scandalous! But it also sounds like nothing untoward happened. So she'll push that aside for now, and just bring up those worries if Rapunzel suggests another co-ed sleepover.]

But I bet it was even more comfy because you had a house, right~? Tents can fall over so easily! [Huh. Why does she have memories of that?]

[goldiloxy]

Hmm... [She taps her paw on her chin.] Maybe we should get you some water! And find somewhere you can sit down and have a nice little rest!

[prodigalhairess]

[Oh....]

It's not okay! I mean... yeah, I do! Because I know how that feels. Maybe not exactly, because Corona was able to rebuild, but.... I saw my kingdom destroyed too.

[One of her worst nightmares, happening right before her eyes.]

It's not... it's not something I want anyone to have to see, even a stranger.

[prodigalhairess]

There was nothing we couldn't do without each other.

[It's why everything just sort of... fell apart without Cass there, those months where she had turned against them. A puzzle can look nice when it's nearly complete, sure, but without that final piece...]

I can take care of getting a suit tailored for you!! I'll even make it flashy if you want, so Eugene can complain that you're trying to upstage him.

[She doesn't normally like upsetting Eugene, but if Cass thinks it'll be funny, she can make an exception. Like that time she painted his face on Cass's training dummy.]

[prodigalhairess]

[She picks up the cutting board where she left the neatly cut chives with one hand, holding it out to Kronk while saluting with the other.]

Chives ready for application, sir!

[kuzcospoison]

[Kronk shields himself from the spittake spray with one arm, and wordlessly offers another napkin to Cecil after it's finished.]

Sure! It’s not like it’s my first time taking over kitchen duty on a whim. [He says, as though that makes the circumstances less disconcerting.]

And nah, I don’t see any reason to lose my head here, so I should still be at it for a while. ...although if you wanna get lunch, it’ll have to be after the meeting, if that’s alright with you. [Wouldn't wanna rush the meal or run late, after all!]

[primafacie]

Hm. [She ponders for a moment, finger tapping her lips.] I think maybe my situation is a little different? But essentially I proved myself to be more trustworthy than my nemesis and made people willing to believe me over her. It's a lot less showy than what you're talking about. I didn't build a big invention or anything.

[kuzcospoison]

Oh, I've never even heard of those! [There's a genuine excitement in his voice, a sense of wonder at the prospect that there's always more to find out about food, animals- or in the case of roasted Gorak, Both.] ...Mintea, Mintea- [He repeats it as a reminder to himself.] what's it made out of? Where d'you even find a Gorak?

[bottlerockets]

I... yeah. Maybe some water and sitting down would help.

[It's so strange though, hearing that suggestion from Foxy of all people who would have probably told him to quit being so dramatic over something like this. Has dating Runt really changed her that much...?]

[doofenshmirtz]

[Doof...actually looks thoughtful about that!]

Huh! You know, I think that might just work! I'll just have to draw up all these plans...but I don't think I've actually gotten anyone to like me. I've just tried to inconvenience people in as many ways as possible.
