day one

[guestcontrol]

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. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on Sept 24. Though a special comment for discussion will go up shortly before voting, you are encouraged to discuss who to vote for throughout the day. Voting

But I mean... we don't really know until someone actually touches it or whatever. [ She implies that it's not going to be her, because gross. ] It could still be a part of the prank! You'd be surprised at how real those sort of things can look.

[5_9]

Scans indicate that it is genuine.

[ Legion just repeats itself easily, since at least for Legion, it doesn't have to be that close. Though it also won't approach because it doesn't want to blow up either. ]

[fanbase]

That doesn't really help, you know. Just because you say it's genuine doesn't mean it really is.

[eventhandler]

She has a point.

[Says Royce, who walks up, grimly looking at the scene.]

How do we not know, say, that it is a ...doll? A facsimile? Whoever, uh, kidnapped us tampered with our heads...perhaps they tampered with yours as well, Legion. Perhaps theyyyy...interfered with that ability. To scan others, I mean.

[5_9]

Our data is corrupted, but our scanning programs are still intact. The likelihood that this is a facsimile is less than 0.00032 percent.

[harepiece]

[HE'S NOT GONNA TOUCH IT EITHER but he's off to the side looking pretty horrified.]

Can they really fake something like this...? [He sounds disbelieving, but he's hopeful, because uh. If it's not faked, they've got a problem.]

[fanbase]

Duh. If I can fool people into thinking I'm Jem, then whoever's pulling this stunt can make this stuff look believable too.

[harepiece]

...But we're going to have to find a way to determine that for sure, right?

[fanbase]

There's those canoes, right? Why don't we just use one of the oars to prod it off of the fence. That way we'll really know wether it's a fake or not.

[harepiece]

Right! Right, wait here, I'll go and get one!

[AND OFF HE GOES TO GET AN OAR. Good thinking Clash...]

[fanbase]

[ Woah, she didn't even suggest him to go do it and he went to do it anyway. Is this what Pizzazz's influence is like?! Sweet. She meanders around talking to people before he comes back. ]

[harepiece]

[Don't let the power go to your head friend...

But Oz will come tearing his way back after a little while, huffing and puffing, oar in hand.]

Has anyone found anything yet—?

[fanbase]

Maybe... this makes a lot of sense, right? What if the VIPs didn't do this. What if whoever they targeted was saved by the detective and this was actually done by whoever the Detonator gave a key to?

If we can get the "body" down with that oar, we'll have a better look at his bracelet. That might help!

[ She doesn't move from her spot because she doesn't plan on being the person to do that. ]

[harepiece]

It's definitely possible...

[HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE THAT PERSON EITHER but he isn't about to force that duty on someone else. SO, being careful not to go into the beep zone, he'll start to extend the oar, hoping to move Malik's body closer as respectfully as he can.]

[fanbase]

[ She is watching in morbid fascination, real body or not, and also being super bossy. ]

Try to push it our way, so it won't fall over the fence. Make sure it lands at a safe distance where we can check it out too.

[cakelover]

Oz-chan!! We should take a closer look at the bracelet, if we can!

[ HEY BRO Honey's back to being flowery...er. Still more serious than candy store. ]

[harepiece]

[HEY FLOWER COMPADRE Oz is also definitely much more serious than he was at the candy store...]

All right! I'll try to... bring him closer. [and he will do so!!]

...I can't believe that anyone would have done this.

[cakelover]

...I'd also like to believe that isn't the case.

[ Not that he talked to Malik at all, but. HARSH... ]

[cakelover]

From over here, that bracelet looks a little weird, right?

[ HELLO there Honey, you're looking flowerless for the moment ]

[fanbase]

[ Clash squints her eyes, trying to get a better look at it from a distance. ]

Yeah, it does. Kinda like it's gotten tighter around the wrist—

[ Something seems to hit Clash immediately. ]

The Detonator! Whoever got that key...

[cakelover]

It could be that...or that's what happens when we go out of bounds?

[ Neither...sounds great.........

maybe they should take a few more steps away from beep zone. ]

Usa-chan thinks maybe we were overestimating what an explosion would look like. He definitely got blown up a little, though.

[ AT LEAST it doesn't seem to be something that would catch people in a blast range. I guess. ]

[eventhandler]

[Royce frowns.]

Could it have been an accident? If it is true, that the, uh, fence causes the explosion...perhaps it was his own fault?

But then again, what was he doing around walking at night...?

[cakelover]

But how would he have gotten out? Usa-chan and I couldn't leave our room at all!

[fanbase]

But we were all locked in our rooms last night, right? How would he manage that?

[cakelover]

Right! But, how would a detonator manage that, either?

[ ??? Unless he mean mafia got a key and blew him up, in which case Honey misunderstood. ]
