day zero

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day zero 42 players remaining. [You wake up in a temporary barracks set up behind an amusement park. The weather is chilly but pleasant, and there aren't any lines for the rides - in fact, it seems you have this place to yourself. The entire park appears to have been abandoned some years ago, and though everything is in working order, it is overgrown with plants and seems rusted and unsafe. As for you, something has happened, though you aren't sure what. There's a throbbing pain in your head, and you can't focus, as though you're coming off heavy pain medications. However you think you should look, you look like a human now. Under the bandages wrapped around your temple, old and smelling like blood, you'll find a recently stitched up scar wound and the inability to focus on your memories. You have no knowledge of how you came to be here; you may even have forgotten certain aspects of your life, or feel confused about them. The fact of your missing memories is obvious, a dark blank spot. Under the bandages around your wrist, you'll find a brightly colored bracelet, decorated with the face of the smiling cartoon animal on your wall, embedded into your flesh. It beeps a merry tune and welcomes you to DreamLand Fun Park. Just then, a voice comes over the loudspeaker.] "Good morning to all of our new guests! The park is now open! We'll get started later, but for now, have a magical day with your new friends! Oh, and there may be a few nasty side effects to your medical condition. If you meet someone having trouble adjusting to reality, please be polite!" [In your room, you'll find a small box containing several personal items - no weapons, magical items, or technology advanced beyond the early 21st century, and nothing dangerous, but otherwise anything you would ordinarily find on your person is there. Of course, nothing with cell reception or internet connectivity can manage to pick up a signal. If you swipe your bracelet against the steel door, it unlocks. You may now explore your accommodations, or venture out into the park.] profiles character statuses setting This is an IC mingle covering the first day!

Delicion is way more important than nutrition!

[poyoyon]

The whatsits?

[ ???? ]

[poyoyon]

No no no! Ibuki last remembers going to her first day of school, right? Before she was kidnapped last time! To a place without any calendars. And then she was kidnapped here! So she has no idea what day it is!

[cheats]

[ He picks up something that seems suitable, and is in fact, something more to his taste, since it includes a capelet and Ciel-sized tophat, but as he nods approvingly, he has a terrible realization...

He woke up in this outfit.

So now the dilemma he faces is entirely different, and as he looks at all the buttons and clasps, the ribbons and bows, he feels his face heat up slightly at the realization of what's to come. ]

...Yes, well.

[ how dare sebastian not be here to dress him ]

Do you see anything, er... simpler?

[poyoyon]

Ibuki agrees! It's just like how the best place to sit in the movie theater is way in the front!!!

[ WOW Clash's cousin sounds lame. ]

Luckily, Ibuki and Clash are super brave and smart, so we'll have the best ride!

[poyoyon]

Ibuki thinks that would be for the best!!

[poyoyon]

[ yes, you did good, robot. ]

Legion's enjoying himself, too, right?!

[ itself? whatever ]

[5_9]

[ #scifiprobs ]

Yes. Shepard-Commander has received many commendations for her bravery. By the amount of them as well as the amount she puts herself in danger, she is the top percentile for bravery according to our records.

[ legion style admiration ]

[5_9]

This is an inaccurate statement.

[ ibuki no ]

[5_9]

Our systems are functioning within expected parameters. We are also intaking and processing new data and experiences to be uploaded.

[ that's a yes, sort of ]

[poyoyon]

Of course! Ibuki is the best tour guide in the entire world! Why, people come from all around to have her take them places!

[ lies ]

[fanbase]

Of course we will, we're not like those lame Jem and the Holograms. We've actually got style.

[ Because there are no lines, Clash just basically hops over all the bars and heads right for the front car. She plops herself in and waits for Ibuki. ]

Think we can ride it three times without getting sick?

[harepiece]

[Legion... at least he's getting a vague feel for the guy so he pretty much can tell that it's admiration happening here.]

I wish that I could meet her, too. ...Not that I would hope for anyone else to wake up here! But she sounds like a good person to know.

[harepiece]

Simpler? [Oz will helpfully start to look around!! Except no, no such luck, pretty much everything in the brolita section has a good number of bows, buttons, clasps and laces to navigate through. His brows arch upward; he thinks he knows what this dilemma is, at least...]

I don't see anything like that that you might like. Should I check the other aisles?

[The ones with firemen and fairy costumes...]

[cheats]

No! No, there's no need...

[ That first "no" was a little sharp, and Ciel looks down to the clothes as if to say "what sort of fresh hell is this," but he has no choice. He'll start to walk towards the changing room. ]

This is likely the best selection there is in the first place, so it will do.

[5_9]

[ Legion seems to consider that, but its comment is brief. ]

Escape would be likely. Shepard-Commander enjoys besting impossible odds. Also punching those responsible in the face.

[harepiece]

[wow Ciel why don't you want to be a princess police officer???

But Oz will watch him meander off, waiting for the inevitable...]

All right! Let me know if you change your mind and I'll go look around a little more.

[cheats]

[ So off Ciel goes to battle, and it does take quite a while. There are occassional noises of frustration, a little bit of cursing, but ten minutes later he emerges looking roughly like a hobo that collected his clothing from Hot Topic. His face is scarlet, partially from embarrassment and partially from anger, but... ]

This is impossible.

[chronic]

[ it is totally pink. ]

Mysterion. What's yours?

[siggey]

Oh. Alright, that makes a lot more sense. Double kidnapping, huh. Sorry to hear...

[ ... ]

But I can't be sure either, I donno how long I've been out. I just know I chugged down 5 energy drinks to finish that paper, and by the time I got out into the parking lot, it was 2AM on December 25th.

[royalizing]

I see... That would certain explain why we can't see them. [ No... ]

[harepiece]

I can't say that the people responsible for this wouldn't deserve a punch... [TO SAY THE LEAST??]

Well! I guess we'll just have to escape without her so that you can go back and finish what it is you're doing, right?

[harepiece]

[THIS NERD... Oz is grinning, but at least he holding his laughter back valiantly because he knows how this feels.]

Do you mind if I help?

[cheats]

[ He makes a terrible, awful frustrated noise, and he looks like he has half a mind to chuck his stupid circus hat right in Oz's face, but... No, the tsundere is strong. He glances away sharply and shrugs, trying to play it cool. ]

...It would be appreciated.

[5_9]

This would be the ideal solution. We do not want the organics to be wiped out.

[ Even though Legion is actually not referring to the Collectors there, but... ]
