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.]

[The man standing in the mess hall turns at the sound, staring at the boy with a gaze that could probably last for years. No getting into staring contests with Royce Bracket, you'll probably lose.]

[He's silent, before finally he speaks up, his voice surprisingly frail:]


...No. I'm not. [A beat.] I don't, uh, think anyone is.
crueltobekind: (My vote is on running away)

[personal profile] crueltobekind 2014-09-21 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[He turns sharply towards him, pretty clearly winding up to snap in frustration or anger, but whatever he was about to say comes out as a startled noise when he sees who's talking. Just a kid??]

I'm . . . uh. I'm looking for my brother. That's all.

[That's a little better. Was this guy a rock? Does her beautiful charm need a tune up? No, it can't be that]

Can you show me, pretty please~?
royalizing: (this is how it must be)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-21 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I... no. The last thing I remember was being in Baticul. Certainly not how I arrived, or who brought me here.

[ How vexing... And alarming. ]
crueltobekind: (When I ask you to explain)

[Kaoru isn't sure whether to be relieved or even more alarmed to find Kyouya here. If someone can kidnap an Ootori they can do anything.]

Kyouya! How are you here? Do you know what's going on? Have you called your police yet?!

glasshole: (pleasant | let's see how this turns out)

[personal profile] glasshole 2014-09-21 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Kyouya Ootori. I wish the circumstances were different, but it's a pleasure.
eventhandler: (science lay his heavy head)

[personal profile] eventhandler 2014-09-21 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[You are actually horrible at charming people and it will never work. Ever.]

[Or Royce is just one of those guys who acts more like a machine than a human being. Probably more of the latter.]

[He blinks, before taking one of the balls in front of him in a long, thin hand. There's a pause, before he tosses it at the stack of bottles on the table.]

[It knocks one bottle down, at least! Could be better. He looks at her, as if awaiting further instruction.]

I was in Daath with the Fon Master... and I don't know where he is.

[She touches the bandages at the back of her head, the whole thing is eerie]

Don't tell me you're even more in the dark than I am...

Admiring the rides?

[Nearby, checking out the area, giving her a polite nod of the head.]

You have it right, most are meant for children, a few for older thrill seekers. I imagine when it was running, this was quite a large operation, but it seems to have been abandoned for some time.
jingler: main art (i was born in the factory)

[personal profile] jingler 2014-09-21 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Very well. If it will make you feel more secure, I will come along with you. It's more logical for us all to walk in groups regardless of that, in case of danger.

Now, is there any place you would like to go to or shall we stay inside here for now?
eventhandler: (on the cold shoulder of consequence)

[personal profile] eventhandler 2014-09-21 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Please judge his hairstyle, it's horrible. But then again, they're both weirdos.]

[Royce blinks, his face barely even changing in expression at that...weird statement.]


They belong to someone else. Uh. The one who owns this park, yes? You should ask them first, ask them, I think...

[Sheba looks competent enough, which isn't really wrong, per se. She knows how to make some foods! ...unfortunately, they're all the kinds of foods you'd see while traveling around in a fantasy RPG. Rabbit skewered onto sticks and cooked over an open flame? Check. Canned foods? ...not so much.

But there's meat and veggies in the fridge, and pots and pans. She figures it can't be too hard to figure out how to make a stew. It's just with a stove instead of a cooking fire... she probably won't singe her eyebrows off. Probably.

She's laying out some of the vegetables on the counter to get started with chopping when Ciel speaks up, and she looks over her shoulder with a small smile.]
I am. Or, I'm trying to. [She makes a face before smiling again.] None of the stuff they've got here looks very appetizing [she's kind of a snob] but it's better than nothing, I guess. I'm making stew, and there should be enough to share if you want some.
glasshole: (cell phone | 200 gallons of glitter stat)

[personal profile] glasshole 2014-09-21 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Irritated gesture with the cell phone in his hand.]

They've jammed reception, but I'm confident a search is already underway.

Anyway, I'm here the same way you are, aren't I? It's a kidnapping, but as for their demands, they haven't bothered to tell me. Now, calm down, this is no time to panic.
crueltobekind: (Bro you're a dumbass)

[personal profile] crueltobekind 2014-09-21 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I know, I know. But when we got the kidnapping talk they didn't say anything about weird bracelets you can't take off.

[He gestures at his wrist, almost (but not quite) tapping at the bracelet embedded there.]
loveisanopendoor: (On palms)

[personal profile] loveisanopendoor 2014-09-21 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Who's to say that the baby woodchuck chucks wood with his teeth? Maybe if a woodchuck could chuck wood, the woodchuck would chuck wood with his little paws?
loveisanopendoor: (Uhh..)

[personal profile] loveisanopendoor 2014-09-21 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I've never been on a coaster before myself, but if it spins, too...

[Geez, everything's starting to get a little blurry..but it was true, she was having a good time.]
ionicwoman: (pic#7503916)

[personal profile] ionicwoman 2014-09-21 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[She's going to skin this thing]

[It doesn't look dangerous, so she's going to try to pick it up by the scruff]


That's the opposite of what I told you to do!
photoshot: (too true to be good)

[personal profile] photoshot 2014-09-21 05:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[ NO, WHY... ] Best?! Don't you mean worst--!
glasshole: (notebook | time is money)

Tracking devices, likely with some sort of embedded security device preventing escape. Trying to contain such a large number of people in this sort of space wouldn't be feasible with a physical security force. The risk of losing control would be too high. The tracking device ensures they can retain remote control from a secure location.

[Spoken with a disturbing amount of confidence.]

But there's some interesting information available if you look through the files. I take it you haven't noticed yet?
ionicwoman: (pic#7503973)

[personal profile] ionicwoman 2014-09-21 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's a good enough point. They've been kidnapped, after all. Doing it this way gets her a meatshield (since for some reason, she can't get Tokunaga to work) and a distraction in case things go south]

I think we should explore~

[She's now rather cheerful for a girl who was screaming her head off five minutes ago]
photoshot: (patriotic teen fails spanish)

[personal profile] photoshot 2014-09-21 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the camera is grabbed! she tries her best to tug it back. ] H-hey, no way. That's mine!
photoshot: (witty bon mots and juicy innuendo)

[personal profile] photoshot 2014-09-21 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ oh good finally a willing victim... subject, she means. snapping a few extra shots~ ]

Great! You're a natural at this.
ionicwoman: (pic#8325723)

[personal profile] ionicwoman 2014-09-21 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, Anise isn't overwhelmed by her choices]

You'd think creepy no good-kidnappers would bring us someplace nicer.

[Now to watch and see what this mouthy girl can do]
photoshot: (drug use down among uncool kids)

[personal profile] photoshot 2014-09-21 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I happened to be wondering about the same thing. Why teacups? I'd hope the idea isn't that we're supposed to be devoured alive. [ ... she's never been to an amusement park, she has no idea what it meeeans. ]
eventhandler: (we looked so hard)

[personal profile] eventhandler 2014-09-21 05:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I could...[A grimace, as he raises a thin hand to brush through his dark unruly hair.] I have felt better.

...Were our heads tampered with? There was a scar, if I remember...
