day two - aftermath

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day two 38 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 veers off to the left, through a courtroom, where a towering cartoon judge threatens to bang a gavel. Your car jerks and evades, but somewhere, before one car can pass, the gavel comes down and the car spins off to the side, through a dark doorway. Each car comes to the end of the ride, but doesn't stop, and instead jerks into motion and, even faster, veers through the ride a second time. This time, your car does not enter the courtroom, but the doors to your left nonetheless open, showing instead of a courtroom a red room burning with cartoon flames. Above the flames hangs a corpse in a noose. The body of Levi hangs from a white rope noose, as a cackling voices pronounces: Innocent The ride turns away once more, and comes to a stop. A list of votes has been pinned on 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 graveyard 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.

late evening - carnival

[chronic]

[ Mysterion is... Wait, Mysterion? Instead of a hooded, masked little boy, there's a young person in a sparkly princess dress and blonde wig. It's not hard to tell that this person in the dress is the same person as Mysterion- their height and eye color are the same. As if that weren't strange enough, there's a small, dirty-looking rat perched on his shoulder.

The princess is stuffing tickets into the prize machine- there's a small pile of completely useless prize machine junk at his side already. ]

Uwaaa.

[ He returns to the games, seemingly oblivious to the bizarre spectacle he's creating. ]

[flatview]

[ stares

props arms on parasol ]

Wow, you really did wear the dress!

[chronic]

[ He turns and greets her in a voice that is... well, actually pretty girly, given that he's ten. ]

Why wouldn't I?

[flatview]

Dunno, there aren't a lot of boys out there willing to dress up like pretty princesses!

[chronic]

There also aren't a lot that can pull it off like I can.

[flatview]

Well, you are kinda shrimpy. [ HE'S 10 ] Do the cute falsetto voice again~!

[chronic]

[ KENNY IS COMPLETELY INTO THIS

he does a little twirl, swishing his skirt, and his voice gets even more high pitched and kawaiidesu and it's awful ]

Do you think I'm cute, uguu?

[eventhandler]

...

[Just...staring. Don't mind Royce, he's just really confused about what the hell is going on.]

...Uh. What are you...doing...?

[chronic]

[ He answers in a sweet falsetto. ] I'm trying to win some prizes. Rule number five, you know?

[eventhandler]

...What's rule number five?

[He says, cocking his head to the side like a curious bird.]

[chronic]

Uguu. [ Did he really just say uguu. Yes. The princess removes his copy of the rulebook from somewhere in the vicinity of his chest, reaching right into his dress for it. ]

Five: "Keep enjoying the park and playing games, too. There may be additional special prizes to be won that can help you."

[eventhandler]

Oh. Yes, I...recall.

[Still giving this boy...girl?...the oddest look.]

Have you, ah, won anything, as of yet?

[chronic]

[ He blushes at his staring. Somehow. And bats his eyelashes. God.

At the question, he turns to the pile of junk. ]

Hmm... No, not really. It's all little plastic toys and stuff... But... I think that rule is important. It has to be there for a reason, right?

[photoshot]

[ ... SNAPS A PICTURE. ]

[chronic]

[ When he hears the click of the camera, he turns. But instead of being horrified at being caught crossdressing, he waves a hand. ]

I can pose for you desu!

[ sorry ]

[photoshot]

[ w-wow. ] ... Really?

This headline is going to write itself.

[chronic]

[ He runs a hand through his hair....... uh.............. wig and bats his eyes. ]

I've never had a real photoshoot before! Please tell me how to pose cutely and glamorously and maybe a bit of sexy, but not too sexy. Just enough sexy to make the boys tingle a bit.

[photoshot]

I should be concerned, but... [ a photoshoot. with a willing victi--subject. AND IT'S KENNY. ]

Well, I have no shortage of poses in mind.

[chronic]

[ THIS IS AWFUL ]

Please capture my good side iyaaaa.

[sparklyrichbastard]

オオ！ケニーくんは姫様になった！ めっちゃかわいい！

[SUBTITLES: "Oh! Kenny became a princess! So cute!"]

[chronic]

[ LOOKING TOWARDS HIM DRAMATICALLY it's a complete shoujo anime moment ]

Thank you, kind sir.

[sparklyrichbastard]

びっくりした！そんなに美しい乙女の心があったのは、知らなかった！

[SUBTITLES: "Surprised! I didn't know of your pure, maidenly heart!"]

[chronic]

That's right nya! My heart is as virginal as most of me! [ he strikes a magical-girl pose and winks. ] Princess Kenny is here to brighten all spirits!

[sparklyrichbastard]

プリンセス・ケニーは見ただけで、やる気がわかさせられた！しかし、プリンセス・ケニーのねずみは狂犬病にかかった動物かもしれないという思いが抜けないけど…

[SUBTITLES: "Looking at Princess Kenny gives me motivation! However, Princess Kenny's mouse is lacking in charm points..."]

[chronic]

You don't find it cute?!
