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!

[Damn you Kaoru and your amusement at other people's annoyance.]

Ugh anyway, I guess if we're going to be stuck here together, we should probably at least know each others names. [He looks at Kaoru expectantly.]

[paws_and_rewind]

[ That's a familiar hand! And a familiar face, and a familiar scent... although he didn't smell anywhere near as stressed earlier. It's cool, buddy. Missile's got this. Oz now has a set of paws on his knee and a cold nose all up in his face. ]

[fanbase]

[ She wants to ask 'What will you do if the group's not real?' but know that won't get them anywhere. ]

How do you know if the group won't try to convert you? I mean... they could be any one of us. Any of them could be listening to us right now.

[jingler]

[It won't be hard to see, as K says the keyhole is on the back of the head with an indication of how to turn to open it.]

Unfortunately no. Recreating a key without an existing key present is difficult, if not entirely impossible. For the time being I am stuck in here. But there is no need to worry, as the suit is surprisingly well-built. Whoever designed it had livability in mind.

So, tell me, do you want to be referred to as 'Legion' or 'Geth'

[obeytherod]

[He's too stressed out over the whole bracelet thing right now to even enjoy this.

Malik just rolls his eyes and brushes past her.] Keep your stupid mutt.

[siggey]

[ I'm done yelling, so I'm just going to rub my nose to convey how tired I am at being fed bullshit I don't have much other choice BUT to swallow. ]

Oh.

Alright, I guess. You... wanna head back to the mess hall, and see if there's anything we can give to the animals here?

[edealistical]

Hmmm.... And what were you before, if you don't mind me asking?

[impheired]

[As you should. But what are the chances of finding a picture of the DL five together? Slim to none.]

I'm...sure you will.

[He's not convinced.]

[flatview]

Mmmmm, not on me! But I'm sure there's tons in the kitchen back in the barracks.

[fanbase]

I played a game for some girl. I don't know what prize she won since she took whatever, but it didn't look like there was much there. Just some dinky reject toys.

[photonement]

Natalia-chan...

[Assumin' they exchanged names in the mess hall CHARGING AHEAD]

We gotta go back there first thing tomorrow and see what we can get!

[poyoyon]

[ i could draw a stick figure version ]

It'll be the best report out of everyone's!

[ no ]

[siggey]

You're a kid. Give it a few years, and then you'll be a lady.

[ She doesn't even look offended. Could she have at least tried harder? ]

[obeytherod]

[He obviously thinks otherwise, as he doesn't even dignify that with a response and keeps on walking.]

[shoutoku_administrator]

By "The group," I meant all of us, not only the enemies. However, let me ask you a similar question: What will you do if you are converted after the killing begins?

[belgian]

[Joins in! She's not as good as Ibuki, but she tries.]

[paws_and_rewind]

[ Fluffy dog 1, Supernatural cardgames supervillain 0 ]

[shoutoku_administrator]

A saint, and a hermit.

[jingler]

[Was he mistaken about the food? Or maybe...maybe that's it.]

Are you afraid of me? That I will pick you up again?

[That seems like the most logical conclusion, but dogs are so much different than people in thought process. But that difference could be why the dog is nervous to eat around him.]

Very well, let me test this.

[K then steps back, putting at least five feet of distance between him and the dog.]

Please, go ahead and eat. I will not disturb you.

[edealistical]

Enemies? Do you think so? Everyone was brought here without knowing it, though. I think they're relying on these people to go along with their plans.

[obeytherod]

Then why don't we try it on you? [Since she's clearly volunteering.]

[royalizing]

[ Someday your prince will come... someday... ]

Of course not, but... [ This can't be real. ] Earlier... when I approached the fence, it started beeping.

[siggey]

...Do you even understand what I'm saying, or the fu....er, messed up situation we're all in?

[ Right, language. There's way too many kids here. ]

[cheats]

[ I said not be a shit in every category ]

[ Once it's pointed out, Ciel immediately grimaces like he's suddenly chewing on a lemon, and he shakes his head. ]

No, clearly they do not. I assume it is supposed to be some sort of terrible joke, since this was a ridiculous costume I had to wear to a costume ball.

[ Which is completely and utterly a lie, but it's impossible to tell by how he says it. But that explanation is much better than "I needed to infiltrate a circus to kill the actors." ]

I would not dare wear this in public were there anything else, I assure you.

[edealistical]

I just turned eighteen. And it's not a fantasy, you know. It's my life, and it's just a little bit stressful right now, actually.
