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!

These quarters are not your assigned quarters.

[ Legion steps closer and holds its wrist up to the scanner, and the door clicks open for it. Trying to break into Legion's room, ok oz... ]

We have been assigned to this room, so only our key will open it.

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, if you say it's fun, I'm gonna trust you, since you're clearly more of an expert than I am!

[Anna doesn't quite know which hand to take, since there are multiple ones in front of her and they're all kind of unsteady...but she'll reach out and take whichever one is closest!]

b; lake because why not

[impheired]

[Whenever Koizumi gets around to checking out the lake, she'll probably notice a familiar back checking out the boats. He's no Souda, so he doesn't have a damn clue how to go about fixing any of these but he can at least check to see if they're working. Which does not seem to be the case, judging by the muttered strings of swear words issuing from Kuzuryuu's mouth. He doesn't seem to have noticed the photographer yet.]

[Approach? Retreat? Just stand there and figure out what to do? Better make your choice quick, Koizumi, because it looks like he's just about done here. And once he turns around there's no way he's not going to notice you and say something.]

[flatview]

[ she leans on her parasol ] Can't say I've ever been kidnapped, either.

Who are you, anyway? [ she is very interested in that cape..... ]

[photonement]

I was just on my way to a curry dinner myself... Is your head super sore, too?

[chainjailer]

No, probably not, but it's best to get the obvious out of the way first. We can start narrowing the list down from there, or...they might decide to show themselves.

Personally, I'd rather find them out first. [His eyes narrow, just slightly.]

[poyoyon]

[ YES. PIRATE THING. WHAT DOES SHE HAVE TIME FOR.

SINGING, SHE GUESSES?! ]

Row, row, row Ibuki's boat, wildly down the stream! Happily happily happily happily, life is but a dream!

[ Is...that piratical? Perhaps shockingly, her voice is actually rather pretty when she's singing normally.

Or not, since she was accepted for music that wasn't what she does these days. Wow.

At least she looks happy???? ]

[sparklyrichbastard]

My heart nearly leapt out of my chest! You don't think they explode, do you?

[shoutoku_administrator]

Prince Shoutoku.

[Maybe she'll recognize the name, maybe she won't.]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki likes your hair, too! What's your name?! Let's be friends!

[ is sit really that easy ]

Oh oh oh let's go on the pink teacup! Eheheheh!

[flatview]

Yep, the cut open my noggin, too! [ she lifts the bandages away from her head completely, showing off the stitches ] With such sloppy threadwork.

[shoutoku_administrator]

In all likelihood, a spy would be revealed by their actions, not their possessions.

[photonement]

There's some stuff I'm still double-checking. [Her index finger circles around the eastern sector with its closely clustered buildings.]

I'm pretty sure there's nothing bigger than this stuff, though; and there's a fence.

[flatview]

[ unfortunately, Nui is not a history buff ]

Never heard of you. Was that the intention?

[siggey]

It did look flimsy, but I wasn't sure if I'm up to taking any chances.

[ Maybe if someone came with me... ]

Would be weird if it was that easy to break out though, especially if they've gone out of their way to kidnap us. This doesn't look like any sort of abandoned warehouse where the government may be conducting human experimentation, so it could be worse.

[ I shrug, taking solace in what I've just said. ]

Not really. These things look cheap, but how they seem practically attached to our wrists already hint at how well they're really made. If it's backed up by solid programming, it shouldn't be too hard to make it beep around certain areas in addition to any attempts at taking it off. These are probably remotely controlled, too.

[shoutoku_administrator]

What do you mean?

[jingler]

[Well at least it isn't barking, but he'll take the dog's whine as a note of hunger. Poor thing. He looks to the stand the dog was just at and walks toward it, waving at the dog to follow him.]

Come with me. I'll pick you up. I promise to be gentler than I was with my patting.

[photonement]

Ah, don't worry about it. We're all out-of-sorts here. If you do work hard I'm sure we'll be calling you ~The Wizard of Oz~ in no time! [She seems amenable to either way of calling her, if the charming lilt in her zeds is any indication.]

Did you get breakfast yet? I think there's food somewhere.... [Unless that smell is just a fire.]

[poyoyon]

Mahiru-chan!!!

[ replace Kazuichi with Mahiru: PROFIT ]

Then let's start with the teacups and then work our way around the park! Ibuki wants to ride everything!!

[chainjailer]

I've been looking for that too, of course. [But he doesn't seem inclined to share any further on it.]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki never jokes about riding rides! That's absolutely 100% serious business!

[fanbase]

My name's— [ She raises her arms and bangs the wrists symbols together as they reverberate in the air surrounding them. ] Clash!

And here I thought I just kept running into a buncha kids. [ She's definitely heading for that teacup now knowing they will make it even cooler. She's gonna kick it with this girl until it makes her sick. ]

[photonement]

[Mahiru recoils and takes several deep breaths to calm herself - she hadn't looked into a mirror herself, so this girl's injury is all the more of a shock.]

Keep that covered, would you! If the thread work's that bad you definitely gotta worry about an infection.

[jingler]

[Another person in a robot suit? Or maybe an actual robot. He's hoping for the former, if only because it'll make him feel a little better about his predicament.]

I do not know my manufacturing origin, as you put it. My name is K. Legion...are you a robot or a person inside a robot suit?

[May as well ask outright.]

[poyoyon]

[ Ibuki was about to be super happy...why do you gotta harsh her mellow bro ]

Eh?! Ibuki doesn't have time to wait for that sort of thing!!
