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!

It can't be helped if Oz-chan has seen it in the future with his psychic powers! Ibuki can't deny fate!

[ WHY ARE YOU PLAYING ALONG, OZ. She's just plain weird and slightly crazy! ]

Although we missed the most important step!

[ionicwoman]

I don't have the faintest idea of how to play~ You can teach me, right?

[REALLY, they're not hard to figure out, but she wants free stuff. Freer stuff]

[godwhisperer]

Hmm? Yes, of course. It would be disgraceful to allow this state to continue.

[He's not really sure what you want. Are you...trying...to eat them?]

Stay back! Don't approach me recklessly, surely you know that much?

[poyoyon]

Ibuki wants her wedding cake! Oz-chan, make her some!

[ ???? maybe she will set you free if you do??? who knows

oh by the way she is going to spin this teacup ride around crazily with this wheel. have fun trying to deal with that!! ]

[mediumburgers]

I guess that means it's safe, since you look--

[ She's cut off by the ride starting, she couldn't even find the seatbelt. Are there even seatbelts, this whole park is a death trap SCREAMING

WHEE DEATHTRAP ]

[sunshade]

[ bro you need to work on your laugh, that was creepy. The more he talks about the suit, the more interested she looks. ] Bound to a suit of armor, huh.

Then you must also have the same wounds as the rest of us. [ motioning to the bandages wrapped around her head ] It's stitched up, as though someone performed head or brain surgery on us.

Which, if true, would mean whoever did this was able to remove said suit. And put you back into it when they finished. [ THE PLOT THICKENS no she is too invested in this new mystery ]

[ionicwoman]

[It's what? A person in a fontech machine? She can't make any sense of it]

I... I'm Anise... Anise Tatlin...

You've been kidnapped, too?

[poyoyon]

[ YES. GOOD. Just the kind of response Ibuki likes, a completely cheerful crazy one. ]

Mabel-chan! Ibuki will take you on as her disciple! We must get on the ride immediately, before a line forms!

[godwhisperer]

Don't let a cute face deceive you. Why, I once met a monstrous hare with a face of even cuter quality than what you see before you. And yet, before her powerful legs and evil temper, any who dared attempt to pet her met their grisly end!

[But he seems...pleased?]

The problem here is simpler, however. Poor nutrition and planning.

[ionicwoman]

[This thirteen year old girl looking exaggeratedly scared totally counts as friendly, right? Right?]

[Because she's running right for you]

Kyaaaaah! Something jumped at me!

[poyoyon]

[ SCREAMING HERE TOO

WHEE DEATHTRAP INDEED ]

Ibuki's going to be siiiiiiiiiiiick!

[ spin spin spin ]

[jingler]

Hm. How very poetic of you sir. If I'm understanding, you're saying you don't remember how you came here as well correct?

[He nods, thinking he understands or at least hoping he does.]

Dried seeds. I see. Well, I don't know where we could find them but I will gladly assist you in your search if you need me to. It's important to know where we can find food after all, even something as small as a seed.

[godwhisperer]

[He got over his shock with Mahiru, but he still at least has to register some of it.]

What now? Two of you? The fates see fit to test my resolve with a new wave of ill portents!

[poyoyon]

[ THAT'S THE BEST PART! ]

Arendelle?! Ibuki's never heard of it!! But let's spin some more! Ibuki wants to see at least five Anna-chans!

[sunshade]

An optimistic line of thinking. However, you woke up in a strange, abandoned amusement park with mild amnesia and a healing head wound. Trust isn't very founded.

[impheired]

[Not even close...]

No, dumbass!! How the fuck do you not remem-- [He cuts off, a good deal of his anger seeming to dissipate as he remembers oh, right. They cut our heads open and likely fucked with our brains. When he opens his mouth to speak again, his tone is a good deal calmer and almost business-like.]

Mioda...if you don't remember what happened to my eye, then tell me the last thing you do remember.

[Let's just...see what exactly we're dealing with here. Maybe he'll even figure out why she's distinctly not dead right now.]

[...yeah right.]

[jingler]

...A song? Are you a song-writer of some kind then? That sounds interesting.

[He's just...going to ignore the plot amnesia comment. It feels like she's making fun of him and his memory loss is an issue that genuinely upsets him, more than he likes to admit.]

[poyoyon]

[ She actually isn't...she totally believes she has plot amnesia and he has to have it, too. Basically, she talks in tropes sometimes... ]

Ibuki's the Super High School Level Light Music Club Member!

Petting zoo

[ionicwoman]

[Great, there's a mutt here too. Just what they needed]

[There's no one to act cute for, so]

Stop yapping, you're making my head hurt worse.

1/3

[poyoyon]

Eh? Eh? Is this a pop-quiz?! Ibuki didn't study at alllllllllll!

[ Aside from her general Ibuki Weirdness, at least she won't actually put up much of a fight here, though...obligingly enough, she will reply. ]

Ibuki was just at the diner with some of the girls and Hajime-chan and Kazuichi-chan, getting ready to go to the beach, you know?

[ WAIT A SECOND ]

[loveisanopendoor]

Really..?

[Well, she guesses it's understandable. After all, the gates have been closed off for some time...]

A-at least five?! You're gonna get so dizzy you'll barely stand!!

[jingler]

That makes sense, logically speaking. I wish they didn't put me back inside at all, as I would very much like to be free, but if they have a means of taking my armor off then I will have to pursue the issue further.

[The idea has crossed his mind once or twice that he may be trapped inside this suit forever. It isn't a pleasant thought to consider.]

Regardless, if they have performed surgery of some sort then I feel this situation has become more dangerous than it already is. They could have done anything to us and we have no way of knowing what.

[poyoyon]

Wait! Ibuki has it for real this time!

[ YES. ]

The reason Fuyuhiko-chan is wearing an eyepatch is...!

3/3

[poyoyon]

He came to the party and totally got sand in his eye! Right?!

[ no ]

[mediumburgers]

Darn. [ Though geeze this guy is smooooooth. She's actually smiling a little now. You're just too charming, Tamaki, TOO CHARMING. ]

I guess we better get to work finding out, then! Once we get out of here, you can steal me away all you want.
