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.]

Anytime.

[ She's standing there about fifteen feet away with her arms crossed. ]

I guess those signs were right, looks like the water's no good for anything with all that gross moss in it.
edealistical: (Tease)

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I agree.

[...]

Oh - but it would probably help if we learned each other's names. I'm Edea - Edea Lee.
harepiece: (oh my god is right)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-21 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thanks Legion...

Either way, even with the bizarre humanoid appearance of everything in the park with the exception of Missile the Cutest Dog Ever, Oz is a little confused by the completely stilted way that this guy speaks in.]


Ah, well... I guess that it'd be too easy to just be able to wander in and out of any place that we wanted to go.
photonement: Smiling and blushing (Very Happy)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-21 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Gosh, thanks.

[Mahiru blushes a little as she nods--]

Yeah, I did most of the drawing. Everyone else has helped a lot with the exploring, though, to make sure the details are right. Haven't actually bothered with the fence yet... do you know what sort of boundary it is, yet? If we're trying to escape that'll be important probably.
siggey: whelp (this is so not radical)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-21 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ Wow.

I have a gut feeling that the less I ask, the better. After all, I doubt drilling this girl about her hometown or why she's a knight is going to help us get out of this place. ]


Can I just... call you Edea, or should it be something else?

[ You need to be polite around knights, right? Not like I've ever been to the UK... Can women even be knighted? What's the female form for 'sir'? 'Ma'am' doesn't sound right. ]

Yeah, definitely agree on that one.

[ Watches helplessly as he's down yet another cigarette... ] That was a goddamned cigarette. My cigarette. And I only have one pack, so I hope you can find me some extra.
harepiece: (a gambling man)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-21 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELL THAT sure is an enthusiastic response! And Oz will respond enthusiastically in kind, because it seems to have cheered her up at least a little.]

Sure! It's a little ways away from here by that rail cart, but the shop itself is really easy to spot. Do you want to go now?
uncoincidental: (058)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2014-09-21 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[But what if the girl trying to get him to spin around until he barfs is the one who stuck the bracelet in his wrist WHAT THEN...

She takes his hand, because wow, it sure is rare to see someone being a gentleman. Better not squander it! And they'll head on up and find a teacup. Sheba opens the door to one and gestures for him to go in first, and once she does, she'll slide in after him and shut the door behind them.]


My name is Sheba, by the way. [May as well get the introductions out of the way before they're both sick to their stomachs...] What's yours?
edealistical: (Closed)

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh - I left the Sky Knights long ago. It's... complicated.

[Unless he wants to hear the whole hour long story about the Sky Knights and their atrocities and her subsequent betrayal, of course.]

Edea is fine.

But if I'm not a Knight in name, I shall always try to embody the spirit of one. I won't rest until we're all free and the perpetrators have been brought to justice.
unbridledjoy: (bright smile)

[personal profile] unbridledjoy 2014-09-21 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! We keep the city safe. Like a ... [What's the word...] "Cop"? But younger.
photonement: Speaking (Neutral)

[personal profile] photonement 2014-09-21 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, good. [She's frankly relieved at his show of propriety, and finally clasps both her hands together to provide a casual bow.]

I'm Mahiru Koizumi. I hope we can count on each other.
edealistical: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
...What? Are you saying this weapon is yours?

[She holds the limp two inch long deadly weapon in her hand and squints.]

But what were you doing with it?
royalizing: (o_O)

oops pretend i said bee barrack door instead of bee #3

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-21 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I woke up this morning in one of these rooms. [ There's a slight pause before 'building' because it barely qualifies... ]

Do you know anything about all this?
shoutoku_administrator: (Ohohohoho)

[personal profile] shoutoku_administrator 2014-09-21 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
We could always tell by checking the bracelets, but a direct introduction feels better, doesn't it? My name is Miko Toyosatomimi.
edealistical: (Tease)

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I would!

[...]

Hold on.

[Edea will consume the rest of her apple in three giant bites with unwarranted ferocity and gulp the whole thing down in less than five seconds.]

OK! Then please lead the way - I'm relying on you.

[The turnaround here is enough to give you whiplash...]
siggey: can you believe he's gonna be a genius (hnng)

*familiar... guh

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-21 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[As long as he doesn't lose an eye or go blind over it or something like that!!]

Physics, biology, chemistry, the like. Nothing I'm covering in class or handing in myself are material that some other genius didn't already write libraries about in the past.

[ I shrug. My grades weren't bad, but I doubt there's much to be gained by some evil organization from kidnapping even honor students. Doesn't seem like they went out of their way to grab a ton of us either, I kept running into people who look younger than me. What IS up with that? ]

Huh, you must be from somewhere pretty remote. Sorry your first trip to one is in a creepy and shady place like... uh, Dreamland. They're supposed to be a lot more pleasant and fun, I promise.
cheats: (so yeah I had to act sane)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-09-21 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Then why the hell are you here, Ciel wants to say, but doesn't. He does look a little put out and frowns. ]

Oh... Really, no one has come by? I was hoping someone might be able to help me make dinner.
royalizing: (oh?)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-21 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
But if that were the case, surely I would have heard of these Crystals before.
edealistical: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[....how many syllables is that]

It's nice to meet you, Miko.

...But Toyosatomimi? That sounds almost like a northern Eternian name. I've had enough conversations to know that we're not all from the same place, but - I guess you don't know a Master Kamiizumi?
edealistical: ((...))

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
...Really?

[...]

Um.

..........Maybe. They're hiding.
shoutoku_administrator: (Wow uh okay)

[personal profile] shoutoku_administrator 2014-09-21 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Only eight all together GOD]

I hate to disappoint, but I'm not familiar with the name or the nation.
siggey: can you believe he's gonna be a genius (hnng)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-21 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm... sorry to hear that?

[ I'm good, let's keep moving. ]

Alright, good.

[ She seems like a nice and righteous person though, everything weird set aside. ]

Yeah, so let's start with what we know. Do you remember anything about how you were captured? Were you doing anything important that sticks out, before you woke up here?
edealistical: (Serious)

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 10:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't think so... but it doesn't hurt to ask.

Master Kamiizumi is the most famous swordsmaster Eternia has ever produced. I learned everything I knew from him.

[She sounds a bit proud for a moment.]

But anyway - let's do what we can to figure this place out. I'm going to go test that fence a little more. ...It would be a lot easier if I still had the Valkyrie Asterisk. Who knew Jumping was so hard?
murimurimuri: (monkey see monkey do)

[personal profile] murimurimuri 2014-09-21 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I apologize for life itself!

[A beat.]

Er... I mean, I'm still just a trainee. Money here is my partner.

[Around this point, Money starts puppeteering him by the hair.]
chainjailer: (curious)

Re: C

[personal profile] chainjailer 2014-09-21 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Your bracelet. [He holds out his hand for it, obviously wanting to do more than just look.] I'll explain in a minute.
