dreamland day one

41 players remaining.

There are no clocks in your dorm room to help you mark the passing of time, but at a certain point, in the early hours of the morning, a cheerful chime tune plays over the loudspeaker. Whether you're awake or asleep, the door to your dorm room is now unlocked. You'll have about a forty five minutes, in which you can get ready or grab some breakfast, before the door that allows you into the park unlocks. By this time, you may or may not have noticed that one of your number is missing.

The chimes play again, to announce that the park is open, and the rides and music begin to come back to life as a voice plays over the loudspeaker.

"Looks like it's time to get started after all! To all our guests, have a magical morning! Dream big and have fun, but don't forget to look for the body! We'll see you in the afternoon at the Hall of Mirrors when it's time to vote, okay?"

You will have until 4 PM to explore the park and talk amongst yourselves. Somewhere in the park, you'll find the body of Malik Ishtar.

Great!

[dutifully handing it over! And since he brought more than one, he'll try on a set as well.]

Hmm...

[He tries tying the stick ends together, but they're a bit wobbly. So he flips one over to see if it'd work better tying the paddle ends together.]

Like this...?

We have to find some way of getting the stick ends to work, or else we'll only ever be able to have two at once.

[Because if both paddle ends are turned inwards, there will only be the stick ends to attach more to.]

Ah, good point... I'm not sure how long we need it to be, but we might be able to use this method on other things too if it works on the tent. So we should figure out how to make our stick really long!

... But also sturdy enough to do any good. Hm.

[Flipping the oar back over to squint at it.]

There is a ride with seats that hang from chains... [Swings, Sheba. The word you are looking for is "swings."] If we could figure out how to detach the chains, we might be able to use them.

...they probably won't like us dismantling the rides, though.

Yeah, whoever "they" are. We haven't seen anyone other than us... they just control us with the bracelet, the loudspeaker and the bulletin board.

I wonder if they have things in place to prevent vandalism. Are they watching us, or is everything automatic?

That's a good question. My bracelet started beeping when I tried to climb the ferris wheel, but that might have been because they'd set it up so that it would do that if I got to a certain height.

Or they might have been watching, I guess. If they're watching, it might be possible to find some time when they're not so we can do things safely...

[Yuya laughs at that.]

I have a feeling this project is going to take a lot of trial and error.

We've got time. [What else are they supposed to do before they vote on someone else to die and then go to bed and hope no one is killed in the night...] We can keep trying. It'll give us something to do, at least.

Yup! When you're right, you're right!

[he's going to try again with the stick ends, this time using the sweatshirt and then tying the sweatshirt even tighter with the vine. He's not sure if it will stay in tact since it's a plant, but he tried to get the thickest one he could find...]

[Vines are usually pretty easy to work with - unless they're brittle to start with, they don't snap as easily as other plants. Sheba looks their cobbled-together canoe paddles with a small, curious look and makes an attempt at picking it up, watching carefully to see if one side dips lower than another or if anything comes loose.]

This almost has to work. No way would they think we'd try something like this; they couldn't have prepared for it...

[Yuya nods in agreement. He can only hope their resourcefulness will pay off.]

That looks pretty good!
