day one - aftermath

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day one 41 players remaining. As the voting period comes to an end, a bell goes off from the ticket machine, and the metal bars blocking the tunnel at the end of the Hall of Mirrors lifts. A voice speaks over the loudspeaker: "Attention, guests! Please make your way onto the ride! For your safety, keep your hands and arms inside and do not attempt to leave your seat!" Through the tunnel, single cars on a track stop and wait for each remaining player to step on. Don't dawdle, or your bracelet will begin to beep a warning. Once in a car, the safety bar locks you tightly inside, unable to move. The car trundles along a dark, twisting track, nearly veering into cartoonish obstacles, but veering away at the last moment. Music and cackling laughter echoes loudly through the ride as you drive faster and faster. Suddenly, your car seems about to veer off to the left, through a set of tall doors, before abruptly spinning off to the right. With a powerful jerk, each car comes to the end of the ride. The safety bar lifts, and you can leave. It seems no one was executed tonight, but a list of votes has been pinned to the wall for your perusal. You now have the rest of the evening to explore the park, before night comes again. character statuses private conversations This is a general post-vote mingle encompassing the time from the end of the trial (about 5 PM until the fireworks at 11 PM). You are encouraged and welcome to backtag discussions in this post until the next day post, or to have afternoon private conversations.

The statement that he wants everyone to know he's a jerk?

Yeah! We've got to work with what we have. I guess carnival games are our best bet right now. [ Maya seems kind of thrilled about that. ]

[edealistical]

About not letting people be converted.

[Which is fair, even if she can't really agree with it.]

I learned the skeeball game yesterday - and the water shooting one. We should try to rack up as many prizes as possible.

[mediumburgers]

Oh! That makes sense, though it seems kind of pointless when everyone else was voting no one.

[ Shrug. ]

Have you tried the whack-a-mole? Yeah, one of them is bound to be useful eventually! That's just statistics!

[edealistical]

Moles? Are there many of them here? I haven't seen a single animal yet, to be honest...

[Also this sounds kind of like animal abuse just saying.]

[mediumburgers]

No, no it's a carnival game! There's holes and the mole pops up and you try to hit it with a mallet. It's not a real mole, though, just a toy.

[ Otherwise that would be really awful. ]

[edealistical]

Oh! I see - the aim is to improve your coordination and reaction speed? It seems like a useful game for training, actually.
