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. ]

I don't know. You're the one who wanted to fight first.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

You're the one that jumped down at me.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

What, like you're being super open and trusting here?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

And you are? [Wait... no. "Open and trusting" were still tactics she was coming to understand. Maybe.... she should... use some of that tact here.] How do I know you're not part of this?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

You don't, because just saying it doesn't mean anything in a situation like this. And I don't know you aren't, either. Apparently that's just how this thing goes, whatever it is.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

All I know is that I was traveling down the road on Fidella - and next thing I know, I'm laying in a bed I don't recognize, in a inn I never stopped at. [She sighs.] How do I even tell if any of this is real?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

And I was in the middle of the woods. [ Where else would this feral child live, honestly. ] I don't know. What else would it be?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

So not too far off from me. [Consider she was also a feral woman living in the woods.]

An illusion? Some kind of weird magic house made of shells that sprouts up in the middle of nowhere?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

...an illusion, maybe. [ Magic isn't real, obviously, thinks the fast-healing girl who has fought all of the X-Men. ] But if it is, the walls and ceiling are complete.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[You tell yourself that, kid. We're not in the MCU]

Let me guess, that's why you were trying to climb the walls just now?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ we sure arent ]

I was climbing the walls because people don't usually think to look up. In case I ran into someone I had to fight.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Unlucky for you, I thought to look up.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I noticed. And now here we are.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

And here we are.

[Crosses her arms.]

So if you're not going to fight me, maybe we can try doing something else?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ Fight... averted? ]

Not sure what else there is to do. I haven't found anything worthwhile yet.

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[snrk]

Besides the ceiling.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ Grumps!!! ]

What, and you found something?

[feudalladyshandmaid]

Nope, I guess woke up.

[For once, she's not the grump.]

But I'm thinking we'll cover more ground together than apart.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ It's a weedmas miracle. (Note to future people reading this that was comment 420 on the log.)

She closes her eyes and mutters something under her breath for a moment - it's not a curse? More of a like. Reminder of something. ]

Right. Together.

[ Oh she is not a fan of that concept!! ]

[feudalladyshandmaid]

[Cassandra rolls her eyes at the award of Dankest Tag, but accepts the award anyway.

Also, she can hear that.]

Listen, I'd rather not spend any more time in here than I need to. Unless you're really looking to start a fight.
