Stroma Isle - In Character Community

You know, at first glance this is nicer than the last "deserted" island I was on.

Which of my new pen pals can shed some light on the situation we now find ourselves in? The travel brochure was a little light on details.

Peter Parker, you better be making yourself available.

Now that we know that things like hound attacks can happen here, we should probably organize a little so the next time is a little less frantic.

Maybe designate people as fighters or healers, have places for them to muster if something happens, make sure there's communication.

Maybe it'll never happen again but it's good to be prepared.

This is pretty much really happening, so I guess I'll say hi.

My name is Rose Hathaway. I guess a lot of you probably know Lissa, Christian and Sydney already. Lissa's my best friend and has been since we were 5.

Has anyone organized any kind of a security watch, yet?

[OOC: VA folks, please assume you saw her when she arrived on day 5; everyone else, I am good to handwave if you want.]

One minute I'm encouraging Kol to stop playing with his food and another minute I'm...

here.

The letter certainly leaves a lot to be desired.

I would very much like to encourage all of our residents to come by the Infirmary for physical examinations. If you are comfortable with it, of course. Especially those who have any concerns, having been brought here from your own worlds.

Records would, of course, be kept strictly confidential. It would be good to have a baseline, just in case of illness or injury--to help our medical team best meet your healthcare needs.

Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns. Also, feel free to send me a private note to discuss any of said healthcare needs.

Thank you.

Anyone found a useful power source yet? I've been trying to find a way to extract the power from the phone, but it's like the laws of physics are actively being ignored.

After a conversation I had with Nick, it seems that it might be a good idea for us to compare our worlds. --the ones we came from, anyway. We can see if there are commonalities, see if that leads us to ideas as to why we we chosen for this place?

Obviously, share only what you are comfortable sharing. No one is going to press anyone for details.

For me, I come from a place called Central City in Missouri. Apparently it doesn't exist in everyone's world.

So this is fun. I've been snatched up by powers unknown and dropped on a desolate rock somewhere near Scotland. And I'm not alone. I have you charming people for company.

So far I've gathered the following advice from reading your mail:
Do not fuck with the ghost at the docks.
Do not go into the lighthouse, or at least not to the upper floors.
Do not go into the water.
Do not go into the church full of burning, angry ghosts. (ETA)

Anything else?

I'm Lila.

I've combed through the posts that have been made so far and compiled a list of what people are working on/have discovered so far. Let me know what I'm missing.

( cut for space )

I've got a PhD in Astrophysics and have a lot of improvisational skills with building equipment and tech on the fly. This probably won't be useful unless we find a power source somewhere.

I do have to say it's heartening to see how people have come together already. This could have very easily gone another way.

I'm going to see how high I can get in the lighthouse.

Who wants to come with me?

Okay, what the hell is up with this place? I assume people can see this? Anyway, I'm Kirk, Jim Kirk. Looks like everyone here is new here too. Is anyone not considered new about the place?

McCoy I see you're here.

Now that I have figured out how to use this thing, I would like to know where I am and why I have been brought here?

Okay.

Even if I'm newly acquainted with multiversal travel, I'm going to go ahead and file this under 'horseshit' and play the introductions game while heeding the advice to stay out of the water and also simultaneously searching for another exit.

Dr. Stephen Strange, former neurosurgeon. Current Master of the Mystic Arts. I've portaled around the island (and cannot portal off the island or else I wouldn't even be making this update) and while it's your typical rustic, bare bones hellhole it also feels very...prickly in some spots. Prickly in a mystical energy sort of way - aka, haunted?

So that's fun. Nice to meet everyone who also somehow got pulled here, even though (no offense) I'm supposed to be elsewhere. Just a little run of the mill incursion, I'm sure everything's fine.

Hello, my name is Padmé.

I know that there have been a few posts here about people asking about resources or information, and from what I can gather we're all in the same situation. I propose that we meet at a central location: the lighthouse at the northern point of the island. I took a look at the interior myself to distract myself from worry about , and it appears there are some supplies - food and cooking implements - as well as beds and blankets that don't seem to be too damaged.

If we all go there, we can take a count of how many of us are here and work together to make sure everyone has something to eat and can rest as we work out our next steps.

Hello. I'm Adam.

I've been trying most of the day to hack these phones and try to recover information, but I can't seem to get past the most basic code. It's weird. I'm usually good at this stuff.

Anyway. I thought maybe we should try to figure out who we have here and what resources we have, both in personnel and in what seems to be here for us to use.

I'll introduce myself first even though this is so awkward

Like I said, I'm Adam. I'm twenty-one years old. I'm usually great with tech but I'm not sure how useful that's going to be here. I have a Legacy - a power, I guess, that allows me to control earthquakes. I'm a little stronger than most humans but not like super strong or anything.

Anyone else?
