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!

[ Legion pauses as Royce reacts with surprise, because it recognizes the fear well. No one here has recognized it as Geth yet, but that didn't mean that no one would, so it at first comes to the conclusion that this person did. Though with the acceptance, that is clearly not the case. The plates around its head shift, giving off the impression that it's watching and listening.

Legion steps closer, then crouches as it carefully points with its three-fingered hand to a particular section. ]

Here. The phenomena you are attempting to model is not adequately represented. It may be modeled within a margin of error of 0.005 percent if you substitute this part with a summation of integrals of these equations. Alone, they do not suffice.

[terci]

[Okay, he's going to pry her off of him and then grab her shoulders, shaking her quite hard.]

Can't you take this at least a little seriously, Mabel?! [There's many breaks in his voice. Can you hear his desperation Mabel.

Can you.]

[loveisanopendoor]

[Anna laughs a little bit too, bending down and shaking her new friends hand with a smile!]

My name's Anna. It's nice to meet you, Mabel. I love your sweater!

[jingler]

[Well that explains the beeping sounds he heard earlier. This person sounds better than Zero III, but no better as a person.]

If you truly have fitted the ones who think they are robots in robot suits, then I would appreciate you removing the robot suit I am inside of then. I in no way believe I am truly a robot thank you.

[Hmph. Though he knows they didn't put him into this suit, he is sure they can remove it off him if they operated on his head like everyone else.

Regardless he scans his bracelet as requested to get a copy of the rulebook.]

[siggey]

What?

[ I've heard the announcement loud and clear. My head still feels sluggish, but I understood that.

The problem was processing it.]

WHAT?!

Who cares about what people think they are? You want us to play a game, but you've planted BOMBS in these bracelets?!?

[mediumburgers]

[ Boop boop scans her bracelet. ]

Could have had more explaining in that explanation, but I guess it's a start...

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, what can I say? If someone needs help, what kind of princess would I be if I didn't go out of my way to make sure they're okay?

[poyoyon]

E-eh?! What was that part about casualties?!

[ WAS THAT EVEN AN OPTION ]

[paws_and_rewind]

[ Again with the weird smells. Missile's current status is now BARKING. Not hostile barking, just... I don't know what to make of this so I'm going to yap at it and see if it wants to play or threatens to knock down a wall at me. ]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki believes in the Belgium that believes in herself!

[ LET'S BE REBELS against the mysterious intercom voice ]

[belgian]

Great! I don't know why people would believe someone who obviously did surgery on us anyway. [She touches the scar on her temple.]

[photonement]

It said there we-we-WEREN'T any, Ibuki-chan! Hooray!!

[poyoyon]

Don't blow up, Mahiru-chan!

[ #support ]

[murimurimuri]

Nowaynowaynoway! Why would I know something that terrifying?

[mediumburgers]

Well, they did cut open our heads. Kind of rude, actually!

[flatview]

.....what was that about bombs?

[ineptus]

...I don't actually know! I've never seen one in real life. But what if they're like super strong? Ants can carry a bajillion times their own weight, so what if woodchucks are like ants? And then they could life things as big as trees! So let's go with that!

The wood pieces are actually trees and the woodchuck is really a big furry ant!

[She pauses a moment, thinking this over.]

I think they're like beavers.

[poyoyon]

But why was that an option?! Ibuki's a bomb! They made Ibuki into a bomb! She never wanted to be a bomb!

[ PANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC at the disco ]

[poyoyon]

Intercom voices are very compelling! But Ibuki has been desensitized to listening to them freely!

[ sort of ]

[mediumburgers]

Don't listen to Mr Loudspeaker Jerk, he's just jealous of the aliens and robots!

[belgian]

You don't usually have to? [Belgium reacts with curiosity over skepticism, at least for now.]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki thinks scars are cool, but she wouldn't go this far for them! How rude!

[terci]

...but we are. [He frowns, obviously a little annoyed.]

We wear matching costumes for Halloween and everything!

[ineptus]

Jeez Dipper, calm down! You're going to sweat all over me.

[Pushing his hands off, she puts her own on her hips.]

Okay, okay. Serious Mabel Mode engaged! I will take this very seriously from now on! The utmost seriousness will always be what the situation is handled with!

[Now inspecting the bracelet..........]

.....so these really aren't dizzy passes then?

[jingler]

[He looks down to the dog and carefully kneels so that he's closer to the dog and holds out his hands.]

Okay. I'm going to lift you now. Don't panic...

[Please don't panic it will only take a few seconds he swears. He takes a deep breath and cautiously puts his hands on the side of the dog and lifts him.]
