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.]

[He tilts his head, a means of showing his confusion without facial cues to assist him.]

"Remade"? I'm not certain what you mean by that, but the answer is no. To both questions that is. My name is K - I awoke here just a while ago and I assume the same is for you.

K? But you see...

[Struggling to explain his confusion.]

How long have these provisions existed here? You truly do not know how you came to be in this place?

I do not. One moment I was elsewhere, then I imagine I blacked out through some means I cannot recall...and now I have awoken here. I wish I could be more helpful, but that is all I can possibly recall at this time.

[Though really, that seems to be the story of his life as of recent. Waking up without memories -- it's not a comforting feeling, though he's glad he can actually remember where he was before this place.]

You were just searching for something, correct? Is there something you have lost?

Lost? Yes...I have lost much. For how, without a knowledge of the past, can even a being such as I observe the path to the future? The weight of decisions forgotten, the knowledge of their outcome, only that I am here where I should not be and it is only I that am here.

[This is a really troubling and serious speech, he's clearly bothered by all of this.]

However, what I am actually looking for is dried foods, perhaps a seed of some sort. No overly rich fruits, or at least only in moderation.

Hm. How very poetic of you sir. If I'm understanding, you're saying you don't remember how you came here as well correct?

[He nods, thinking he understands or at least hoping he does.]

Dried seeds. I see. Well, I don't know where we could find them but I will gladly assist you in your search if you need me to. It's important to know where we can find food after all, even something as small as a seed.

Something of that nature. But you see, it is only because I am used to my transdimensional travel being unfettered by the laws of causality.

[Still on board.]

If you pledge your assistance to me, I will not take it lightly! I am a dangerous master!

[Transdimensional travel? Is that even something possible? ...Well, he won't get into that right now.]

Dangerous master? I am not pledging to be a slave, only a companion on your search. Therefore there should be no issue.

Ah, I see. You value your freedom highly! All mortals are fated to become my vassals, but I'll let you keep your independence for now.

Having freedom, in my opinion, is one of the most important things about being alive. I thank you for respecting it.

[Though he doesn't get the whole "fated to be vassals" thing, but K knows he isn't one to talk about eccentricities. Robot suit and all.]

If there is nothing here, we can explore elsewhere. I imagine this is a large place.

Oh, so that's your belief? That's a fine worldview to have. The laws of nature agree with you. Yes, I will honor such values with my regard.

Where would you have me explore?

There is a mess hall in here which may have the seeds you seek. But before we go, can I know your name? I think we should at least be acquainted on that level if nothing more.

Yes, you may! You look now upon Gundam Tanaka, Supreme Overlord of Ice! It is wise that you know the name of the future king of this universe!

Supreme Overlord of Ice? Goodness, you are a royal monarch? How amazing! I will be sure to remember your name, Gundam Tanaka.

Hah. Now, that's some wise thinking. I think you'll find that, despite my status, we will get along splendidly!
