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!

Most of these dumb rules don't make any sense. They just assume any of us will kill even if we're "converted." How does that even work?

Re: afternoon

[paws_and_rewind]

[ Missile definitely hates all of this beeping! Whatever's happening seems really important given how everyone's reacting, but he doesn't really get it! Then again, it seems that nobody really gets it! Nobody's nodding and saying I see or anything like that, so they probably don't get it any more than he does. ]

[perfectstrike]

[Thanks Ibuki...

Peko just swings her arm up and out of the way as if she were stretching her shoulder, then folds her arms.

Don't. Don't fall again, Ibuki.]

[mediumburgers]

WHAT???

[ OKAY, THIS IS ACTUALLY CONCERNING]

You've got to be kidding! No way is anyone going to go along with that kind of thing!

[jingler]

"Double-kidnapped" is a crude way of putting it, but yes. Kidnapped from a kidnapping in progress.

[At the very least he's gained a little more credibility now to Sigma.]

Hm. So you remember being kidnapped, yet you awake here with no memories of the warehouse itself. How very troubling.

[poyoyon]

[ peko if you keep dodging her you leave her only kuzuryuu and mahiru as hanging off of choices

THINK ABOUT YOUR ACTIONS ]

[belgian]

[Belgium isn't totally sure, when she says it like that, but she doesn't want to upset Ibuki more, either.] Hey, it's okay! Let's just figure out how to get out of here.

[poyoyon]

Ibuki doesn't want to kill anyone at all! This is lame! This is super lame!

[ SOBS SOME MORE god can we not ]

[jingler]

Ah, I see. I don't even know what a hibachi is. What kind of instrument is it, Ibuki?

[fanbase]

Maybe you'll get lucky and get to be the detective. That way we'll know who's on the right side and who isn't.

/sneaks in here at lucy's request

[impheired]

Oi, Mioda! Get a hold of yourself! [Okay, truthfully Kuzuryuu's kind of panicking himself here because WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE DELUSIONAL? He's kind of seeing dead classmates everywhere, surely this qualifies. But he can at least keep a hold of himself in spite of that.] When has panicking ever solved anything!?

[royalizing]

Coward! Show yourself!

How dare you threaten us like this, while hiding your true face?!

[paws_and_rewind]

[ NOPE NOPE NOPE Missile did not sign on for this. He doesn't even know what you smell like, mister! If he doesn't manage to leap away in time, K's going to be stuck holding onto a very squirmy and unhappy dog. ]

[perfectstrike]

You should not sneak up on someone in a strange place.

[AH YES. BECAUSE RUNNING AND SHOUTING IS SNEAKING.

YOU GO, PEKO.]

[harepiece]

[NO... well, it'd be memorable, at least.]

Faster than the cups? [THOSE WERE PRETTY FAST.] Where is it...? Maybe I'll take a look first and then decide.

[harepiece]

[Unfortunately, Oz is not so easy to shake... As she goes to observe the tracks closer, he'll follow along like a nerd.]

What is it for? Some sort of transportation, or is it another ride like those teacups? It looks a little like a train...

[A dangerous rickety train that is almost entirely certain to send someone spiraling off to their bloody demise, he's sure... r.i.p anyone who tries riding this.

Which may just be Oz, because he doesn't have a Danger Sense like most people.]

[harepiece]

[He's a little too placid to reflect her indignation, but his expression does seem to fall a little at that.]

I haven't seen anyone around yet who looks like they know what's going on here, either, so... [A pause, and he glances down the hall toward the other rooms.]

...I wonder if they just left us all here.

[harepiece]

[That has him laughing a little, even though Oz actually doesn't get the reference at all. He just assumes she's being funny!!]

Haha, well, if I can work that hard I'd be happy! [Since it'd mean he'd be able to help more people, which is always good. As for her question:]

I haven't... Do you want to look for the kitchens with me?

[poyoyon]

[ oh look the work done to calm her down vaporates into nothing at the rules........... ]

Ghghghghgh...!

[ TOTAL WIPEOUT...WHY THIS AGAIN............. ]

[harepiece]

[That is indeed what he had been thinking, whoops.]

I'm not sure... But it's better to not test it out, right?

[harepiece]

[Oops... WELL HEY, look, he's just being thorough okay!!]

I figured so. That's kind of weird, then, isn't it? There are a lot of rooms here. [Meaning a lot of people, which can't be good at all.] ...Sorry about your room, by the way.

[Hopefully this guy isn't big on ultraprivacy like SOME PEOPLE.]

[paws_and_rewind]

[ Does she want to shake? That's usually what happens when people say that kind of thing! Either that or they clip his nails, but he doesn't see any clipping things at hand. Have a paw, ma'am. A paw with an ugly hamster bracelet embedded into it. ]

[poyoyon]

B-but Ibuki doesn't want to be a bomb!

[ But she calms down a little. UNTIL THE RULES, then you're out of luck. ]

[harepiece]

[So much of what was just said completely flies over Oz's head...]

Is that sort of thing common here? Abandoned amusement parks...? [Like Clash will know for some reason??] ...And what's a John Carpenter soundtrack?

[harepiece]

[Wow... Ciel... just say you want to go to the candy shop, Oz wouldn't care. WHAT A NERD.]

Oz! My name's Oz. It's nice to meet you. [At which point he'll pause to allow Ciel to introduce himself in turn, if he so chooses.]

Anyway, the train that goes in that direction is right over this way. [A gesture! And then he will start to meander in that direction.]
