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. ]

Yeah! It really suits you, y'know?

[Eh? Eh??? Rapunzel wiggles her eyebrows; c'mon, that had to get a giggle out of Cass!]

Aww, fine. But... I can't promise I won't sketch something. I have way too many ideas!

[If it sounds like Rapunzel has already been planning this... she totally has. There was never any doubt to her that she'd ask Cass to be there, and she knew Eugene felt the same. It was all just a matter of getting all the pieces to fall together at the right time.]

[prodigalhairess]

[... There's something increasingly off about all of this, and Rapunzel can't quite put her finger on it. But she's a helper, always, especially to people others may think are weird! So maybe if she keeps Foxy talking about things like this... she can get her to come around...]

Oh, you should really give it a try! Sleeping out under the stars, seeing the deep blue sky stretching out above you... there's nothing like it. And there's so much in nature that you can't see when you're at home!

[prodigalhairess]

[Ah, she's seen that look the eyes of so many of her friends...]

I bet it will. And if fortune doesn't help, I bet you and your friends will just keep pushing back and make it help you, right?

[goldiloxy]

...no one in my town wears a fez. They're tacky, but just being tacky doesn't make someone a total sicko!

[diebartdie]

I'll remember not to invite an Endorian inhabitant a dinner party anytime soon.

[Quick with the witty retorts even if he's still a little convinced he's having a lucid nightmare.]

[bornforit]

That's exactly right.

[Kindred spirits, much?]

[bornforit]

Ewoks. That's what they're called. I've only met one once, when I was small...they're very cute, actually. But a little bit difficult to hold a conversation with.

[kuzcospoison]

Sure could- they'll take a while to bake all the way through- little over an hour... but it's worth it! [He firmly presses his hands to his hips, chest puffed with a relaxed confidence.] ...would make for a nice after-meeting treat, wouldn't you say?

[bornforit]

[Leia nods, clearly holding back a laugh.]

You're right. I'll be first in line to try them.

[goldiloxy]

Oh, we can see the stars pretty easily even at home! [Look the nighttime scenes in Chicken Little explicitly show a starry sky.] But I guess there's some kinds of flowers that grow better in the wild...I'd have to talk to my parents, I guess! Maybe they'll know some way to go look at those without having to get too dirty!

[halloteen]

Oh, game like animals you hunt, not things you play! Y'know, lions, tigers, bears.

[basically just shoves an entire waffle into her mouth]

... People. You know how it is.

[prodigalhairess]

But the sky it's so different when you're away from home... you can see way more stars, even the Milky Way at the right time of year! You never realize just how many stars are out there when there's no light from buildings surrounding you.

[As a young woman with an artistic eye, Rapunzel could go on for ages about the beauty of the night sky...]

Oh man, you wouldn't believe the kinds of plants and animals you can see out in the wild! It's amazing. I filled so many pages of my journal with sketches of all the things we saw...
