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. ]

[ Good job you've caught her not... climbing the walls like a horrible monkey teen. ]

Why should I?

[ [reality show voice] I DIDNT COME HERE TO MAKE FRIENDS ]

[bornforit]

[...Well, you've got her there. Leia crosses her arms, looking perturbed.]

Because you're speaking to a leader of the Rebel Alliance. Where are your credentials? Who is your superior?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

The...?

[ She thinks for a second. Are there any splinter groups HYDRA was supporting just named "The Rebel Alliance?" In South America, maybe? ]

I don't have either of those.

[bornforit]

[Leia's brow furrows, and she takes another moment to look at the girl in front of her, realizing that...she is just a girl.]

Just a kid...

[She mutters this to herself, and then lifts her chin.]

I'm Leia Organa, princess of Alderaan. Do you know anything about this place?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I'm not-

[ No, okay, there are other issues at hand. ]

No. Don't know where Alderaan is, either.

[bornforit]

[A little bit of the light goes out of Leia's eyes, and she glances away.]

It's not anywhere. Not anymore.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ Hm. Okay, that's... X-23 has no idea how to react to that! Okay! ]

I'm... sorry?

[ It's really nakedly just "I have no idea what else to say," there's no mocking or anger or anything in it. ]

[bornforit]

[You know, honestly? That's better. Leia's heard a lot of awkward, empty platitudes about it, and it's pretty old. This...is at least short and sweet. Leia shrugs.]

It's okay. It was a while ago.

[Less than a year, but it's fine.]

What's your name?

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ It's fine we're all fine here. ]

X-23.

[bornforit]

Oh.

[Wow, this conversation sure has a lot of awkward pauses!]

...I'm Leia.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

[ it's cool at least she doesn't have to explain "i'm a designer clone created for combat" to leia if it comes up

X-23 nods ]

You were just kidnapped too?

[bornforit]

[She nods, just a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.]

Nobody seems to have any answers, so far.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

No, nobody yet. Unless whoever left us those notes has something worth saying, but I haven't exactly seen them around yet.

[bornforit]

Right, that. It sounds like an interrogation to me.

[nobodylikesyouwhen]

I don't exactly have high hopes for whatever it is.

[bornforit]

Well...

[Leia breathes out, a short, sharp exhale.]

If you don't mind...I'd like to stick together, when it happens.
