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.]

Ibuki-chan? Ibuki is Ibuki? I sure do! Why do you ask? Did she give you any trouble? She's a bit of a handful but she's really good at what she does and she really doesn't mean any harm...
siggey: (memento mori)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-27 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
[...

...

...





Well, that answered more than I asked. ]

So you DO know each other.

She was, uh, alright... She just sticks out, with the way she talks and everything. A classmate of yours, Mahiru?
photonement: Smiling and holding up camera (Say Cheese)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-27 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm-hmm! Right there with all the other Super High School Level students. Peko Pekoyama and Gundam Tanaka and Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu.
siggey: can you believe he's gonna be a genius (hnng)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-27 06:25 am (UTC)(link)
...Super High School Level?

[ ...Do I even need to ask, why is it called that? ]
photonement: Raising pointer finger and speaking with a smile (Delight)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-27 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! Every student at Hope's Peak Academy gets a title like that.

[WELCOME TO DANGANRONPA.]
siggey: if not for dudebro tendencies... (a stand-up guy)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-27 06:43 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. That's...

[ ... ]

Pretty unique, never heard of a school that does stuff like that. So you ended up here with 4 classmates you already knew? Company must be pretty good. You guys all got together already?
photonement: Speaking (Neutral)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-27 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, we had a big meeting today, confirmed it was the five of us. It's not that big a deal though. Aren't there five kids who are hosts from some other school, too?
siggey: (who wants to talk about the chinese room)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-27 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
...

[ I shrug. Can't say I care. Anyway, I've got something else in mind anyhow. ]

This may sound weird, but do you all remember the same things from school? Since you guys don't seem to know the date. Like, does any one of you remember stuff that hasn't happened to someone else yet, making it sound impossibly as if they're from the future?
photonement: Looking down and holding pointer finger in front of cheek (Doubtful)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-27 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
.............................................

[Really reluctant to talk about this, but she does.]

Yeah.............. a couple days disparity, but still...
siggey: but does he actually make this face in-game (#main character)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-27 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
...So this happens to other people, too.

...

Your group isn't the only one getting this. Ask around others who seem to know each other before getting dragged here, this is turning out more common than I thought. ...Still insanely weird, but thanks for confirming.
photonement: Looking away and pointing another way (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-27 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
Ah? Does that mean you knew someone else? Who would that be, again?

[She'd add a polite "if you don't mind" of course but he's reasonably direct in information exchange and less reticent than herself]
siggey: (who wants to talk about the chinese room)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-27 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
I don't. I've never met the guy, but he insists that he knows me. You wouldn't make that up to a complete stranger, right?

[ I frown, breaching on my own situation. ]
photonement: Hand raised in front of cheek and mouth hanging open (Wonder)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-27 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
That would be really weird... I think there's no way anyone would make up something like that. But he probably at least seemed to know you if he was so rough about it, right? With some kind of verbal proof?
siggey: can you believe he's gonna be a genius (hnng)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-27 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what I figured. There's no reason to lie about something so messed up. And what do you mean by verbal proof?
photonement: Frowning and speaking (Refusal)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-27 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know, just... if what he said made you believe him, like he knew where you went to school or something else not right in the profiles.
chainjailer: (stern pout)

[personal profile] chainjailer 2014-09-27 02:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's disappointed too...]

If I only had my Nen, I could use my dowsing chain. This game would be "over" in as long as it took me to ask every single person one question.

...But we can't reminisce on what we don't have. We need to work with what we do.
cheats: (this that goose an’ Malibu)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-09-27 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That was a real spin!

[ it was not ]
harepiece: (a mature adult)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-27 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
That wasn't anywhere near a real spin! You have to do a full, real spin or I'll be forced to do one for you.

["FORCED"... IT'LL BE SUCH A DIFFICULT TASK FOR HIM, CIEL.]
siggey: (finals...)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-28 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
He said crazy things. You don't want to hear me repeat them.

[...]

Anyway, he couldn't do that even if he wanted to, since like I mentioned, we never met unless he's somehow from my future. A future where we're apparently too busy with other stuff than ask each other which school we went to.
cheats: (these vampires and bloodsuckers)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-09-28 04:56 pm (UTC)(link)
No!

[ You have a truly "difficult" task ahead then, since Ciel grabs onto the wheel again to prevent Oz from turning it, but... Yeah, not a difficult task at all. ]
harepiece: (this joy is explosive!)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-28 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah sorry Kanye, Oz is grabbing that wheel and sending the teacup spinning.....]

Yes!!
cheats: (Goddamn Yeezy)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-09-28 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Ciel screeches indignantly again, because if there is a quality that Ciel does not really possess at all, it's strength. So Oz wins this battle...

And also the war, honestly.

Because the constant spinning and screaming is starting to get to Ciel, so after a few seconds more of screeching, he brings a hand to his mouth instead. You did it, Oz... The barf counter is going to go up... ]
harepiece: (please let it be cake)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-28 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[AW YEAH.....

Except Oz is actually not a shithead unlike pretty much all of my other characters, who would continue spinning the cup rapidly and then get pissed off if they got barfed on... Instead, he immediately pulls his hands away from the wheel as soon as it looks like Ciel's gonna lose it.]


Hey, are you okay? [HE CAN'T STOP THE RIDE-RIDE, HE CAN ONLY STOP THE TEACUP SPINS...]
cheats: (cause you will never get on top of this)

1/2

[personal profile] cheats 2014-09-28 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ And that is exactly what Ciel has been counting on!! You see, this has all been a clever (???) plan on Ciel's part to escape this fresh hell, because while he had been distracting Oz (?!?!), he had also managed to loosen the quite rickety safety measures for the teacup.

When Oz stops spinning the teacup, the ride keeps moving, but that's at a slow enough rate that Ciel can leap into action—!! ]
cheats: (question--)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-09-28 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[ What happens next is something that should definitely not be done by anyone, and is inspired completely by the irresponsible actions of an overenthusiastic butler. Ciel pulls his hand away from his mouth, because clearly, he's fine, and he stands in the teacup at just the right time as the ride is completing its circuit and leaps out of it.

(He gets one show of athleticism per game, so yes, he wasted it on this.)

Ciel doesn't actually do a terribly job though, since he clears the safety barrier and moving parts and lands on the platform. He doesn't do a great landing, since he rolls and hits the ground, but he's also very clearly fine, since he stands up right away and laughs. ]


Ha! What kind of idiot would fall for that?!

[ Which he says, completely oblivious that it is in fact him that is the idiot. This is further evidenced by how he picks up his jar of candy and just bolts.

Bye Oz...

He'll see you tomorrow, I guess. ]
