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!

That's about what I expected. It's enough to know everyone's circumstances are relatively the same. But I do appreciate your helping me to get my thoughts in order.

TEACUPS of course

[ineptus]

[Did someone say teacups? Did someone invite her to ride the teacups? Whatever Mabel was doing she immediately stops, almost comically skidding in place as she turns to face Ibuki with a bright grin.]

Where's this Ibuki? I'll ride with them!

a

[poyoyon]

Only one?!! Ibuki will be sure to run away as soon as the moment has passed!

[ Better clarify or talk super fast, Kyouya. ]

[ionicwoman]

[Who's this kid? He doesn't seem like he'd be much use here... He probably doesn't even have any money]

Anything would be better be nothing! [She's already got a cute little stuffed animal strapped to her back, maybe she wants a friend for him?]

Don't you think?

C!

[loveisanopendoor]

Uh, probably as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a wouldchuck could chuck wood! ...Which is probably a pretty good amount of wood chucked, if I had to guess...

[jingler]

Heeheehee. You are not the first to make that Potassium joke.

[The way his laugh is filtered is unsettling robotic, more than anything else he has spoken yet, but he doesn't linger on it.]

As for your question, I feel as though I have a head injury but I cannot check how severe it is. You see, this suit I am in is not for show. I am physically trapped inside it and any attempt to remove it thus far has been in vain.

GOOD

[poyoyon]

[ Mabel be her park partner RIDE ALL THE RIDES ]

Riiiiight here! [ who has two thumbs and refers to herself in the third person all the time THIS GIRL RIGHT HERE ]

Ibuki is Ibuki! What's your name?! Oh! Sing it!

[godwhisperer]

Hrrk...!

I don't want to speak of it! It...is an insult I will engrave on my soul so that I can curse it through a thousand lives.

Carnival

[pundulum]

Uh...

[Yuya looks a bit surprised to be called out to, but he comes over and has a look at the games, then shrugs.]

Sure, I don't mind. But don't you want to try too? They're free, I guess.

[And it's a game so it's probably fun! He'll just get to work at this game... whatever it is.]

[flatview]

No way, it should be an actual kitten! [ ... ] If there's any spray paint in this garbage dump, I'll draw over the weird crabs. I am not sleeping with that thing looming over me.

[loveisanopendoor]

[SHE'S NOT STOPPING YOU BUT SHE'S STILL REALLY DIZZY..]

I-I haven't, no! We don't have anything like this back in Arendelle! I've never seen anything like this before back home...

[impheired]

[#oh absolutely #you got it #all of his dreams]

[Kuzuryuu swats her hand away with his own when she tries to poke at his eyepatch because TALK ABOUT RUDE?? But then again, this is Ibuki we're talking about here. That much is normal by her weird standards. What's not normal are the words that followed the personal space invasion.]

Are you being fucking dense on purpose!? You know what this is for, and it sure as hell isn't anything so stupid!

[harepiece]

[Oh oops look at that the safety lock has clicked into place on the little teacup door. FANCY THAT TIMING...

He's just giving Ibuki a look like how did this happen, reaching forward to put his hands palm-down on the steering wheel between them.]

M-Marriage? Honeymoon?! That's a little much—! Don't you think we might be skipping a few steps? [More like why is he playing along with this instead of setting things straight...]

1/2

[poyoyon]

...E-eh...? That's right! That's totally right! Ibuki absolutely knows what that's for!

[ ..................

Twiddling her fingers together nervously. Come on. She can do this, it's a guessing game, right?! ]

[sparklyrichbastard]

I'm afraid I don't. And unfortunately, I can't steal you away until we've found out.

[ionicwoman]

[What the heck is this thing supposed to be? It looks like a fontech suit! For a second, Anise can't help but stare in disbelief, and then she remember she's supposed to be terrified]

I... I don't know where I am! I'm soooooo lost!

[ineptus]

[She will definitely be her park partner YOU NAME IT THEY RIDE IT.

At first she's just about to reply in normal tone, but then the girl asks her to sing it and of course she's going to sing it. So taking a deep breath-]

Maaaaaabel Pines! But you can call me Mabel!

[jingler]

[He tilts his head, confused at the offer.]

Ah...my apologies Ibuki, but I must decline. I wish to remember who I am and my own family as well as that. Apart from that, while I cannot recall anything about my life prior to amnesia I am still capable of caring for myself.

[poyoyon]

It's so Fuyuhiko-chan can take naps in the daytime! So sneaky!

[ no ]

[godwhisperer]

Lost? Yes...I have lost much. For how, without a knowledge of the past, can even a being such as I observe the path to the future? The weight of decisions forgotten, the knowledge of their outcome, only that I am here where I should not be and it is only I that am here.

[This is a really troubling and serious speech, he's clearly bothered by all of this.]

However, what I am actually looking for is dried foods, perhaps a seed of some sort. No overly rich fruits, or at least only in moderation.

[mediumburgers]

[ If she was possessed, that would actually be an improvement. She opens her eyes and looks up with a smile. ]

Huh? Oh, I'm fine! I'm just channeling. ... Well, or I would be channeling if it were actually working.

[ Getting up, she'll dust herself off (is this ground even safe to be on, that lake over there looks pretty gross). ]

But it isn't so I guess I'm just a girl who sits on the ground right now.

[poyoyon]

Heheheheh...! I see, a lonely figure walking down the roads of fate! Ibuki will compose a song about it!

[ does she even know what she's talking about? probably not ]

Let's beat the plot amnesia together!

Carnival

[ionicwoman]

[...Is this girl seriously eating food she just found in a creepy park that they got kidnapped to?]

[Anise is judging her.]

[Inwardly, anyway, outwardly she looks... nervous? Curious?]

Where did you find that?

[godwhisperer]

[Immediately putting out his hand for Missile to sniff if he wants, but he can tell what is getting him interested.]

Ah! Your nose is keen enough to sense the presence of my Dark Gods! Well done, you're a formidable hunter! Yes, you are!

[jingler]

Please, settle down. There's no need to panic.

[Or, well, maybe there is but he doesn't want to scare her. He carefully moves to lean down, kneeling down on one leg so he can come down closer to her eye-level.]

You have been taken away from your home, as the rest of us have, but I promise you we will find a way to escape. Now please, will you tell me your name?
