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.

[ 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.

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.

[ she has no idea what that means ]

So... some kind of puzzle?

[dannydorito]

Puzzle implies there's a solution, kid.

[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. ]

[dannydorito]

A kidnapping, probably for someone's amusement. Or- I dunno, revenge maybe? Could be the revenge.

I thought we'd gone over this.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I get that it's a kidnapping, what I don't know is what the point of it is! It doesn't make sense for it to be just for fun.

[dannydorito]

Well there's your problem! Nothing ever has to make sense, it just has to happen! Or not happen. Or sometimes both, cause quantum is fun like that.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I'm not exactly sure how qualified you are to talk about this stuff. Most things at least happen for a reason. Cause and effect, not... fate or whatever.

[dannydorito]

Ha! Right. "Cause and effect," cute.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ She sighs. ]

What, do you really think things just happen for no reason?

[dannydorito]

I think it's hilarious you people still think time has a "linear progression."
