IC INTRO #1
IC INTRO #1
A Blood Offering
You wake up cozy in bed at the Saturn Motel. As you observe the room you may realize that it looks a little dated. Or, perhaps from your point of view the lamp and TV are wildly futuristic. Or, like Goldilocks, it may seem just right: close to the world you just left behind. Either way, you just had a very strange dream (see the arrival scenario) and now you're here. And you're not alone: there's a bed next to yours and someone else is waking up just like you are.Roller Rink
You can chat for a while if you like, but if you try to leave you'll find the door is firmly locked and no amount of kicking, punching, or hitting it with an object will do you any good. Instead, there's a letter on the nightstand which reads:
"Good morning and welcome to your new home!
You may be wondering why you're trapped in this room. Fear not, the door will open easily if you offer a bit of blood. More than a few drops but not enough to be a serious wound. A handprint's worth will do, let's say, and it only needs to come from one of you.
I'll let you sort that out yourselves. See you on the other side.
Sincerely,
The Mayor"
And indeed, a handprint's worth of blood pressed against the door will unlock it and let you out into the world. Do you volunteer your own blood? Do you take it from the other person by force? It's up to you! But there's no food in here, so you better figure it out eventually.
As a celebration of your new lives here (and an apology for the whole blood offering thing - they were just testing something out, really) the Mayor has invited everyone to the Crazy Eight Roller Rink for a private, after-hours party.Mallrats
Attendance isn't mandatory, but it is heavily encouraged so that you can meet your fellow Cursed and know who's in on the whole secret. It'll help you down the line at some point if your Curse gets out of control and you need someone to wrangle you.
As a reward, everyone who shows up and completes at least one lap around the roller rink (you must be wearing skates, but you can crawl the lap if you can't get the hang of them) will receive a free walkman with a mystery tape inside. The color, style, and mystery tape your character gets are up to you.
Everyone loves the mall! Right? Right! And this group of newcomers is lucky enough to be here for the White Pines Mall Grand Opening celebration! Feel free to walk around the mall and partake in sales galore, check out the attractions, or just get to know the layout of the place.Extra Info
The Mayor has given everyone a gift card for $100 that can be used anywhere in the mall as long as they attend the Grand Opening.
They also strongly suggest that you familiarize yourself with the mall and its layout, just in case you ever get stuck there for a while and have to compete with others for food and resources. But that probably won't happen.
All the same guidelines from the TDM still apply. You can continue your TDM threads here or start new ones! And of course, you can start making your own prompts in the log or network communities at your leisure.
Our first event will be going up in about a week!
Please do not add character tags to any posts just yet, we'll add them to this post manually.

She won't tell you, but it's because she enjoys trying out all sorts of different foods. Already, she's thinking about what she'll try- something covered in cheese, she thinks- when a boy about her age calls for her.
She pauses, frowns. Then approaches him.] Hullo, then. Something wrong? Or you just making friends?
[She doesn't mind friends. Especially the handsome sorts.]
no subject
Just friends.
[ After all, Steve's always been pretty socially inclined. He's a guy who enjoys being surrounded by people and friends. That's not happening very much here. ]
You can come sit with me, if you want.
no subject
Alright. Let me get something t'eat, and I'll be over. [She, too, liked being around people and friends. So often it felt like she never got to get out, with Bill. Now, she could do whatever she wanted, whenever.
She returns to Steve a few minutes later with her food.]
Hullo, then. Thank you for the invitation, Sir. [Old habits died hard, and Victorian sensibilities were one of those. As were cockney accents.]
no subject
[ He shrugs and moves his plate and bowl a little closer to him, giving her some room. ]
I'm Steve. From the second floor.
no subject
I guess I have to ask, where're you from originally? And when? [easiest way to get to know someone. Though she doubts he is from as far out of time as she is.]
no subject
Uh, Indiana. In America. From 1986. And you?
[ She's definitely not American, that's for sure. ]
no subject
[She smiles.]
London, England, 1838, [she tells him plainly.] This is a great improvement.
no subject
The plumbing must be out of this world for you.
no subject
You have no idea.
I love the rain pipe.
no subject
[ He assumes she means the part of the gutter that drains the water out from the rooftop, which is a really weird thing to love, but, hey. To each their own, right? ]
no subject
Is that not the right word?
[She looks anxious, eager to learn.]
no subject
[ Though rain pipe was pretty accurate, if he thought about it. ]
We just call it a shower. It's great, right?
no subject
[There were so many new things to learn!]
It is! At home, well, we'd have a tub of water we'd have to warm, and you'd share it with everyone in the house. So when I was living with my brothers, you can imagine it was awful. But my husband and I made do together.
My former husband, I suppose.
no subject
[ Well, Steve supposes people get married young, you know right of high school and all that, but still. ]
What happened to your husband? You divorce him?
[ He takes a bite of his sandwich, so he can chew while she talks. ]
no subject
[She glances about.]
He murdered me. [Like it's nothing! It's only something she's recently found out, too.] Apparently he's killed afterward. [Someone told her she was a character in a book. If you ask her, it's likely an autobiography of a much-older Oliver Twist.]
