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. ]

[Rapunzel is from a time where hot running water was brought to the people just, like. A month ago. So the terms she's hearing kind of blow over her head. But she kind of gets it, too! Speakers are what project music from phonographs for people to hear, so...]
Oh wow, you can play one piece of music from multiple speakers??? That's amazing!
[But... doesn't quite answer what she was wondering!]
But how does the music even play? Is there a box behind all these plaques? It's so clear, too! Like someone's playing it right in this room...
no subject
Ehhh...it's got something to do with audio acoustics. You just probably have to upload an MP3 to a computer and then play it from there. Apparently, MP4s are more clear than MP3, but I can't really tell the difference.
[He pauses for a moment.]
Waaaaait, you're-- [He glances towards the plaque.] --Rapunzel?
no subject
[What are these terms coming out of your mouth, sir!!!]
Oh- yes! Yes I am! You're, uh... [She too takes a quick glance at the plaque.] Doctor Doofenshmirtz! It's very nice to meet you!
no subject
[He scratches his chin, looking thoughtful for a moment, before shrugging.]
Eh, whatever! I could make a system much better than this. Just need a few supplies...here, let me show you--
[Doof starts trying to pry off the plaques from the wall, straining.]
C'mon! Who seals something like this?!
no subject
Maybe... maybe if we find a crowbar or something it'll come off!
[She's just really curious to see how this works, okay!!]
no subject
[He delivers his sentence in a very genuine tone, so...no, he's not being sarcastic. This is something that happens to him sometimes. Don't worry about it.]
You know, it just occurs to me that I still haven't explored the rest of this place. What is this, some sort of tourist trap?
no subject
[Look, Rapunzel is best friends with someone who can make a weapon out of anything. So by that logic, anything can be used as a tool too!]
Hmmm.... I don't know. It looks like some kind of hunting lodge. And a museum. I wonder why we were brought here...
no subject
[maybe they're on a game show? that would be cool. doof always wanted to be on TV in a positive way.
he begins to make his way towards the salon.]
Hmmm...if I were someone who had access to tools, where would I hide them?
no subject
Hmmmm... do you think there's some sort of garage here? Or a workshop?
no subject
[A pause.]
But I haven't tried the windows yet! Come on!
[He picks up a chair (with a significant amount of effort) and hauls it towards the window. With a loud grunt, he throws it. The chair makes a loud bang as it hits the wall, but otherwise the window remains intact.
Doof doubles over briefly, wheezing and catching his breath.]
Phew, I'm getting out of shape. Give me...a few moments....
no subject
That was a good try! I've seen some people trying to open the doors, but not the windows yet. Maybe if we get a few of us together, it might work.
no subject
[He seems genuinely cheered that Rapunzel is believing in him.]
Here--why don't you try and pull open that side of the window, and I'll pull open this side?
no subject
Sure!!
[She moves to the side of the window opposite him, examining it for a moment; hinges on the sides, so it must open out. Rapunzel presses her hand on the wood of the window, close to the central groove where the two halves meet, and shuffle her stance to brace herself a little better.]
On three, okay?
