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.]

...I was entering the beam of light that would take me into the fourth parallel version of my world to restore the Crystals that would bring forth the devourer of worlds - so we could destroy it for good.

It's always very jarring, but I've never ended up anywhere but back in Caldisla.

[So just... slightly important]

[ Stew? Ugh... He would never admit it, but just at hearing that, he misses Sebastian's cooking already. But he just has to think of it being like that ridiculous circus and deal with it until Sebastian makes it here. ]

If you wouldn't mind, I would appreciate that, Miss.

[ He steps further inside the kitchen as if to watch her work. ]

I've never cooked before, so I don't know how. [ Which is true, and not that unreasonable, at least, since he's only thirteen. Though the fact that he's a spoiled brat has more to do with it. ]

[Smiling for the lady~]

Indeed I am! I don't suppose you've found one?

[ He hesitates. ] I don't trust it.

... [ Folds her arms... ] Why would they be hiding?
siggey: if not for dudebro tendencies... (a stand-up guy)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-21 10:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, no problem. I haven't explored too thoroughly, but if I find anything new and noteworthy, I'll let you know.

The fence? I have no idea. I tried getting close and take a better look earlier, but then my watch sudden started beeping like crazy.

[ Raising my hand, I point at the tacky bee watch. ]

Donno why it did that, but it did freak me out. It looked like an ordinary barbed wire fence, but you'd expect to see those more around a prison.
cheats: (now she claiming)

[personal profile] cheats 2014-09-21 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ugh ]

No, I cannot.

[ How dare people think he work here based on his overly elaborate, festive, and circus looking clothes!! That's so unreasonable!! ]

I do not work here. [ or work at all... ] Though you seemed to have figured that out already.

[personal profile] sparklyrichbastard 2014-09-21 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, don't you worry. A true gentleman will never let any harm befall a lady!
edealistical: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] edealistical 2014-09-21 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
...Alright, sheesh.

I'm new to this whole Crystal business, but that's the only way I know of to link worlds where I'm from. I guess it's conceivable that some...thing might be able to produce the same effect, but it'd have to be ridiculously powerful.

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-09-21 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Feh... You're right, you really don't seem capable of pulling off something like this.

[It's still not clear whether he fully believes her or not as folds his arms to watch her with a scrutinizing gaze.]

Do you remember who brought you here?
chronic: (do i have the right)

[personal profile] chronic 2014-09-21 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You seem to know lots about this stuff.
siggey: (who wants to talk about the chinese room)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-21 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That sounds... important.

...I'm sorry to hear that.

[ ANYWAY. I'm picturing entering an elevator and going for the lobby or something, but instead when the doors open you're somewhere else entirely. After talking to Edea for a few minutes though, I decided to keep the elevator analogy to myself. ]

Uh... so basically, you stepped into something that should've brought you to a very specific place, but instead, you ended up here instead. That right?

shoutoku_administrator: (Wow uh okay)

[personal profile] shoutoku_administrator 2014-09-21 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Surely you can understand why I might hesitate, if you won't explain what you want with it.
harepiece: (bluebirds)

[Yeah, wow, SO UNREASONABLE!! Oz looks mildly apologetic at least, since it's pretty clear that this sad nerd has been heckled about this before.]

Sorry! Your outfit just looks a little... [CIRCUSY.] —Well, if you worked here, you probably wouldn't have one of these. [His hand raises, gesturing to the side of his head where the stitches are.]

...You know, there's a place near the candy shop that has some clothing! I can show you where to get them if you want.

[Maybe then people will stop ASSUMING YOU'RE AN EMPLOYEE, CIEL.]
impheired: but i've also decided i don't give a fuck (neutral ♚ i've decided it's a bad thing)

a obviously

[Luckily Kuzuryuu has run into Ibuki already, so seeing somebody who should technically be dead isn't quite as big of a shock as it could have been. In fact, he'd sort of been hoping for this, while simultaneously dreading it. Because aside from the fact that he still has no idea how this sort of feat is even possible, there's also the question of just how much Peko will remember.]

[He doesn't spend much time gawking and debating, however. He approaches her swiftly, something resembling urgency only just barely detectable in his step. His face is neutral, but hey, at least he's not bleeding out his eyeball. There's that. So at least they're on the same page as far as that goes...]


Oi, Pekoyama, calm down. [Don't think he didn't notice the breathing thing. He can sort of maybe guess what that's about. Or at least part of it.] It's not like we haven't been through this bullshit once already. You feelin' alright?

[One look in his eye should be all Peko needs to know that he's actually more concerned about her than his words seem to imply. It's clear that there's a shitton more than he wants to say, but can't. The reason is probably obvious, especially when he gives the door behind her a very pointed look. You want to invite him inside for a minute, Peko? This classmate acquaintance of yours that you have absolutely no prior history with at all?]
chronic: (but please keep my mind asleep)

[personal profile] chronic 2014-09-21 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
...Huh? Are you serious? [ He slips from his horse a little as he turns to stare. ]
fanbase: (METAL RAIN)

[personal profile] fanbase 2014-09-21 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
If I did, why would I tell you? It looks like you've got your own agenda.
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  you son of a...!)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-09-21 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't seem too thrilled to be talking anymore once she confirmed that she knew nothing.]

Malik Ishtar, but don't misunderstand. I don't have any plans to stick around any longer than to find out who did this to me...

[He curls his lip, from anger and from the pain in his head as he grazes his hand over the bandages.] ...and have them pay.
chronic: (accidents happen)

[personal profile] chronic 2014-09-21 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
And you don't recall signing up for this little vacation either, do you?
fanbase: (JAVA CLOUDS)

[personal profile] fanbase 2014-09-21 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Why wouldn't I be? Isn't part of the fun being in a band about pulling off your style?
chronic: (i will transform)

chronic: (where there's no space or time)

[personal profile] chronic 2014-09-21 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you hate gophers exclusively or something?
chainjailer: (shhh)

[personal profile] chainjailer 2014-09-21 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
If I tell you, I can't be sure I'll find what I'm looking for. But I'll compromise.

[He holds out his own arm, the one with the bracelet intact. It looks like he tried to find a way to remove it, judging by the bruising.] You can look at mine first.

[personal profile] sparklyrichbastard 2014-09-21 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
That does indeed sound ominous...

[He edges closer until it really does start beeping, and then quickly scurries back.]
chronic: (i will transform)

[personal profile] chronic 2014-09-21 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess you do look weird enough to be in a band.
