ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE...
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.

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. ]

You're lucky, then. Not everyone is capable of an outlook like that.
[The princess bows her head, just for a moment, and then turns to face Rapunzel.]
I'm Leia.
no subject
Nice to meet you, Leia! I'm Rapunzel. [There's a pause as Rapunzel looks from Leia to the profiles, then back to her.] Ooooh, you're a princess too? What's your kingdom like?
no subject
[Leia cuts off, and grimaces.]
It's gone. Alderaan was destroyed, not too long ago.
no subject
[That seems to deflate Rapunzel's sunny attitude a bit. There seems to be a hint of... understanding in her eyes, too? Corona may not have been destroyed for good, but seeing the destruction left behind by Cass and Zhan Tiri... it's not a vision Rapunzel's ever going to forget anytime soon.]
I... I'm sorry to hear that. [It definitely sounds genuine...] Was anyone else able to... to get out?
no subject
No. I just happened to be away. I...watched it happen.
no subject
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.
no subject
[Well, okay. There's at least some common ground, here. It helps, though...it means Leia can turn to face the other young woman fully, her attitude quickly melting away.]
Then I'm sorry, too. For the both of us.
no subject
[She doesn't wanna dwell too long on her own experiences, because again, Corona was still standing. It's not fair to Leia to tell her "it'll all be okay!"]
I hope you'll be able to stop whoever did that. Or at least protect others from suffering the same fate.
no subject
We're working on it. We've made considerable progress already...I have hope that fortune will favor our cause.
no subject
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?
no subject
[Kindred spirits, much?]
