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. ]

Oh, I don't really know... and I'm really not very comfortable with weapons.

[Her massive fairy wings unfurl and she's hovering a couple inches off the ground, but something on her face seems to indicate this is not what she wanted.]

That's so strange - I can't get any higher than this.

[verycoolsupercooltotallycoolamazing]

Are... are you a fairy? [because usually those are. so small.]

[primafacie]

Something like that, yes.

[Technically she's a doll, but Marie also made her a fairy. Anyway, she folds her wings back up and gracefully drops back onto the ground.]

[halloteen]

I've never seen a fairy like you before! There were some that lived in Halloweentown, but they were all a little... [she puts her fingers together] tiny.

[primafacie]

We have that sort of fairy too where I'm from, but mostly we come in all shapes and sizes.

[Accursed novelization fact: Sugarplum is supposed to have a tiny fairy sidekick. Think Iago, but a fairy.]

[halloteen]

I've been learning that most beings do. [y'know, like people]

Do you have a name? I know sometimes magic can be... weird, about that. Mine's Marnie.

[primafacie]

Ah, technically it's The Sugar Plum Fairy. Marie always called me just Sugarplum, though.

[Unclear when or why she got a full title when Marie always just called her Sugarplum.]

[halloteen]

I never actually learned what a sugar plum is. I just know visions of them are supposed to dance in children's heads.

Can I call you that? Or is that more of a special friend nickname type of deal.

[primafacie]

The only people who really use my full title are the other regents of the Four Realms. Most people just call me Sugarplum - which is just a type of sweet. There's not even fruit in them, most of the time.

[Technically, at one point, sugar plums really were sugared plums. Then it sort of became a catch-all term for any kind of hard candy, usually with an almond or something in the center. They kind of suck, honestly.]

[halloteen]

Oh, like how coffee cake doesn't have any coffee in it? Weird.

[grins] Sugarplum it is, then!

[primafacie]

Yes, quite a lot like that. [She laughs.] I do know of a coffee cake recipe that uses coffee in it, though. Maybe I'll make it for you sometime, Marnie.
