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! Night roles will go up Monday at 4 PM EST, but you are welcome to continue to thread here once that happens. Make sure to follow any updates on plurk!

Mahiru Koizumi. I hope I can count on you after all, Sigma, but I might just take a note that you're Sigma the Sleaze.

[Did she just? Yes she did]

At least my room's locked. I'm gonna be putting my camera in the box at night. Did you have any handy gadgets with you?

[impheired]

Later.

[harepiece]

[PLEASE DON'T EAT THAT MUCH.]

There are some things! I moved a lot to the front earlier, too. [HE DID. look at all that candy!! it is probably not a huge deal, but yes, there it is.]

[cheats]

[ yes okay good, crisis averted... Ciel at least calms his jets, but then starts to critically evaluate the selection, since of course he's still picky too. How are you putting up with this, Oz... ]

Ah, very good. I would have been cross if there was nothing left at all.

[harepiece]

[like he hasn't put up with things that are worse than a dingus brat with a sweet tooth...]

I wouldn't lead you to a candy store that has no candy in it. That would just be cruel.

[siggey]

Just call me Sigma, that sounds like a real mouthful. Like Mahiru the Mouthy.

That should work. I didn't test the locks yet, but maybe I should. And nope, they took everything from me when they got me, didn't even get to keep my favorite watch.

[ I sigh, not bothering to look at the flashy yellow bee currently attached to my wrist in its stead. ]

[photonement]

Aww, darn, those could have come in handy. But nothing to do about it for now; I don't think Ishtar really had the right idea about cutting off our hands. We're supposed to be locked inside all night... unless we have roles.

[cheats]

[ yeah he puts up with a dingus old man with a sweet tooth ]

It would be utterly demonic, actually.

[ because GEE I WONDER WHO WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT ]

[harepiece]

[exactly....... wow christy full speed ahead on the fattydingdongs express with your characters]

So you can definitely count on me not doing that! [because he, unlike DEMON SEBASTIAN, is not a demon!!] I picked up some candy earlier too, so if you still don't have enough, I can share mine.

[cheats]

[ it's okay as long as we don't complete the boy band I won't bring the thirstpocalypse ]

Well... This will likely be acceptable for now.

[ He says as he starts to pocket some of the candy that isn't like grandma-level candy. ]

Though if I run out, I may ask for your assistance in this matter too. [ Ciel don't make this sound like it's something legitimate. ]

[harepiece]

[it's going to happen though IT'S GOING TO...]

That's fine. Just let me know, okay? Or you can just stop by my room! Since we're friends, consider it open to you whenever you want.

[flatview]

Oooooh, are you some kind of superhero?

I'm Nui! Nui Harime.

[flatview]

Oh, I thought it was because you were a coward.

[ WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THAT YOU LIL PINK SHIT. MONKEY = COWARD??? ]

[flatview]

Wow, that's some motivation!

Well, yeah. If it's ugly, it's ugly.

[chainjailer]

That would be like finding a needle in a haystack--we don't even know where to start.

[Negative nancy over here...]

[chainjailer]

Hm... [It takes a moment, but he sees the merit in her idea once she goes on to explain it.]

We could have a small group stake it out, and see if anyone who isn't apart of our "group" comes to feed them.

[cheats]

[ He grimaces at the word "friends," but at least he nods. And look, he didn't even have to admit he was a serial killer unlike some other fattydingdongs ]

Er, yes... That is kind of you. [ "what do you want from me" ]

[harepiece]

[the sad part is, just from "serial killer" and "fattydingdongs" i'm not entirely sure which one you're talking about]

Sooo... are you ready to go see the rides, then? [that's what he wants!!]

[chronic]

Of sorts. What are you- an actress? Model? [ she's dressed like a circus performer in his eyes. ]

[edealistical]

[Oz has found literally the only thing Edea is afraid of good job oz]

I-I don't believe it! Are you talking about that hall with the silly posters of monsters?

[harepiece]

[HOW DOES HE MANAGE THESE THINGS it is a mystery]

I don't think that there were any monster posters in there... Did you find a different haunted place?

[edealistical]

There's no haunted places at all! I'm talking about the one with the weird staircases and things. They're just pictures; it's not real.

[Edea is usually pretty responsible but this conversation with Oz isn't really showing her good side...]

[cheats]

[ ...break, but point taken ]

[ Ciel keeps stuffing candy furiously into his pockets as if that will outweigh the impending doom. ]

No... [ But by the way he says it, it doesn't seem like he'll ever be ready. You know what to do, Oz. ]

[harepiece]

[it's okay, Oz just brings out the 10 year old in everyone... he doesn't seem bothered, at least!! it makes her seem much easier to relate to!]

I don't think that I've seen that place... What's wrong with the staircases? Oh—! We should go there next!

[harepiece]

[still laughing tbh...

WELL... OZ WILL BE MERCIFUL and at least let Ciel continue to stuff candy into his pockets for at least a few seconds longer. he understands what it's like, prioritizing sugar...]

Are you trying to weigh yourself down so that you won't go flying away? [OZ THAT ISN'T GOING TO HELP ANYONE

he'll helpfully grab a jar from a nearby counter, though.] Maybe you should keep them in here!
