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! Night roles will go up Monday at 4 PM EST, but you are welcome to continue to thread here once that happens. Make sure to follow any updates on plurk!

[Patting Ibuki's shoulder! She doesn't have a paper bag, so she'll have to suggest a different remedy.] Purse your lips like you're whistling and breathe that way.

[royalizing]

Yes, you're right. Though I have a feeling it won't be that easy.

[ She finally stands up, now that her head's recovered mostly too. ] I'll come with you when you try.

[5_9]

[ The plates on its head continue to shift, and the light in its head focuses, seeming to read over the equation more. ]

Everything else is correct. We find no errors otherwise.

[fanbase]

[ This is... she doesn't even know how to describe this. Of course, she still wants to be a Misfit, but with an offer like this... she'd be an idiot to refuse. ]

Yeah— no, you're definitely right. They are. Bandmates then, alright! Woohoo!

[ Now she's the one acting ridiculously hyperactive. ]

[ineptus]

Dipper! [So help her she will slap you if you don't snap out of it!]

Even if it is a thing, nobody is going to do this! I wouldn't kill anyone. You wouldn't kill anyone. And all the people I've talked to are nice and definitely wouldn't kill anyone! And look at these bracelets, they're so small who could fit a bomb in them anyway? It'd probably be like a little firecracker at best.

[At this point she sticks out her tongue, making the silliest face she can to go along with the silliest voice she starts speaking in.]

Ohhh noooo! There's a small firecracker in my braceleeettt!!

[jingler]

[K keeps perfectly still, watching the dog assess the surroundings (or at least it seems that way) and only makes the faintest 'hm'.]

Are you not hungry? The food should be safe to eat.

[siggey]

[ I know this is a shit day for the record books when not enough people share my freak-out at there being bombs attached to our wrists. I can't really be happy about someone else reacting normally either, because the guy doing it is just a kid.

That's so fucked up, but even my throat is getting a bit sore from all the times I had to express myself over the insane things I've been learning nonstop today. Guess I gotta watch my language too, if I'm going to be surrounded by kids in this really messed up amusement park... ]

Hey, kid!

[paws_and_rewind]

[ PEOPLE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO ME, HURRAH. Missile thumps his tail, totally oblivious to the content of the discussion. ]

[5_9]

Further elaboration is needed. A personification is a literary device, a figure of speech. It is not an idea made organic.

[cakelover]

...Just what about this is fun?

[ clutching his stuffed pink rabbit to his chest tbh

wow ]

[mediumburgers]

[ POOR MISSILE... Maya will come over and pet you and protect you from mr "let's chop off a dog's paw". ]

[obeytherod]

... [He's not even dignifying that first part with a response. Just a sour look.]

Go ahead. [Malik sweeps his hand out irritable, gesturing towards the crowd of people.] There's no better time than now, with everybody in the same room.

[poyoyon]

...

[ now she's whispering frantically ]

[poyoyon]

Right...getting out of here, Ibuki definitely wants to get out of here...!

[belgian]

It's kind of hard to explain... [But she'll do her best.] Personification is just an easy word for it. I'm Belgium as a person, so I represent the feelings and ideas that make up the people of Belgium! Literally.

[siggey]

Are you actually a part of this? You got kidnapped, too?

[ I've freaked out enough today. I know I can get pretty emotional, but there's only so many times a guy can yell about being kidnapped, murders, and being kidnapped FOR murder in one day before he gets tired. In fact, I think my throat just may have begun growing a little sore... ]

[shoutoku_administrator]

I sincerely hope it doesn't come to that, but if it does...

...it would be preferable to death, at least.

[obeytherod]

Well, I think he's volunteering! I don't see why we can't just use the dog...

[Come friend, he has a dog treat for you in the back of his limb-severing van. Except not, because Malik's fairly certain everyone will try to cut more than just his hand off if he tried.

It's just a dog...]

[shoutoku_administrator]

They were earned, not inherited, but it's still odd that they would disappear for any particular reason.

[terci]

...

[He's silent for a moment, before cracking the smallest, most worried smile.]

Y-yeah I guess it would be a pretty tiny bomb, wouldn't it? And no one would really go with killing someone if they were told to.. [Unless there were evil or insane people here ha ha ha...]

[edealistical]

No one is cutting off any part of the dog!

[screeching just a little]

No one is cutting off any part of anyone yet until we learn more about this!

[5_9]

Correct. Our original framework was more similar to the traditional definition of a robot, but as we gained intelligence, we shifted our modes of data collection to be more efficient than what the Creators designed. Under normal circumstances, We are networked with all Geth. However, the connection is unavailable. We may only build consensus within the programs currently housed on board this platform.

[ Though at the mention of a key, Legion will just try and look and see it if he can! ]

That is an unusual predicament. Has recreating the key been investigated?

[poyoyon]

[ IBUKI DOES THIS.

Actually she ends up whistling................

which seems to calm her down a bit? ]

[shoutoku_administrator]

...Then they'll be stuck here, as will we. I doubt it can be avoided that easily.

[shoutoku_administrator]

I know nothing about you. For all I know, you could be the reason I'm here.
