day one - afternoon

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day one 41 players remaining. [As the day wears on into the afternoon, the dead aren't getting any deader. It's late in the afternoon, and the air is beginning to cool, when the chimes play again over the park loudspeaker. "All of us here at Dreamland wish you luck, guests! Let's meet up in the Hall of Mirrors!" Wherever you are, it's time to make your way over to the House of Horrors, where you'll have to brave the funhouse to find the room on the top floor. Don't delay, or your guest identification bracelet will begin beeping. The House of Mirrors is a large room, more than capable of fitting a crowd. Tall mirrors line every wall, and the door you entered through seems to vanish into a mirror as well. The mirrors give the impression that many, many more are among your number, standing in the background. In the back is a jar filled with blank raffle tickets. You'll have to take a ticket, write down a name, and place it back in the jar. Hopefully you already know who you're voting for, but if not, you only have time for a brief discussion before you're out of time. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on Sept 24.

I didn't see any sign like that... [HE BROKE THE LAW.]

Um... It was all right! I didn't expect the ride to stop and start so much, though.

[siggey]

...

[ I shrug. No harm done, I guess! ]

It's not supposed to, but if you've never been on a roller coaster before, that's pretty much the deal. Is this your first time in an amusement park, too?

[ I've already met a disturbing amount of people who haven't... Seriously. What the hell? ]

[harepiece]

[ADD ANOTHER TO THE LIST because Oz nods...]

Yeah! We don't have anything like this where I'm from. Um... Well, we don't have a lot of things here where I'm from.

[Even the clothing that most people wear is pretty weird to him.]

[siggey]

[ I feel sorry for all of them. ]

I'd make more recommendations, but too many things are closed.

[ Or has a good chance of killing us. I'd still go on them, but I probably shouldn't be suggesting them to little boys.

Anyway, I look back at him after scrolling through my bracelet. Might as well start making use of this creepy watch. ]

Oz, huh? I'm Sigma. Where are you from? Land of Oz?

[harepiece]

[The reference and joke sail neatly over Oz's head, since they do not have that book in his dumb nameless country!!]

No, I'm from Reveille. [An Attempt Was Made.] But it's nice to meet you, Sigma! Do they have a lot of things like this where you're from?

[siggey]

Oh.

[ I'm almost disappointed... ]

Reveille, isn't that French?

[ I shrug, not really sure (and can't say I really care). ]

Must be in Europe. And yeah, amusement parks are pretty common. Not that many since it'd cheapen the experience, but they're popular attractions for friends and families. You don't know Disney either, I'm guessing?

[harepiece]

Ah, sorry. I don't really know about any Europes. [But at least he's already had this conversation before, so he doesn't sound too surprised by the unfamiliar word.]

And I haven't heard of that, either. Is it the name of these parks? [CLOSE.]

[siggey]

...Right. Let me guess. Is there magic where you're from, too?

[ I've gone over this with Edea. I can do it again with a blond kid. ]

One of the most popular and well-known ones, yeah. It gets millions of visitors per year!

[...I think. I actually have no idea, but it's Disney, so I can't be TOO far off!]
