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).

I'm... actually... not sure. I think I'm human, but I don't know if that's even possible with the whole curse thing. I guess it'd be a lot simpler if I came from a world with magic like yours and everyone else's.

... Actually, now that I think about it, there are such things as cursed, immortal humans. I know of one who drank an elixir and has lived for hundreds of years, and died just as many times.

It's not a happy life.

Wow. That totally fills me with hope for the future. Thanks.

[ ??? why...? what a weird kid but-- ] You're still young. Maybe the curse isn't unbreakable, won't that be a relief!

[chronic]

Yeah. It actually would be. But at least Princess Kenny's promiscuous reputation can always live on in infamy.

[ no shame here. ]

Oh, I'll personally make sure that Princess Kenny's name lives on. And her stunning photoshoots.

Can't wait.
