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.]

[ <-- RANDOM PASSERBY suddenly asked out onto teacup rides, sure. Aya blinks, stares critically at the cups, obviously rather wary or even clueless about their purpose. ]

We're supposed to get into those?

Thaaaaaaaat's right! And then we spin around and around! Ibuki loves it!

[ Really, she's actually in a good mood. She hasn't seen Monobear all day, no one has told her to kill anyone, and there are rides.

THIS IS ALMOST A STEP UP. ]

How does it work, exactly? They're just... large cups...? [ <-- FROM THE FEUDAL AGES, this is all unknown and new and crazy technology. ]

Yeeep! We go and sit in them, and then the ride starts! C'mon, C'mon!

[ Leading the way towards a green teacup, TIME TO GET A MOVE ON, GIRL. The best way to learn is to experience!! ]

S-sure, but are you certain that it's entirely safe--! Is a giant supposed to pick up this cup? [ FOLLOWING... slightly hesitantly, but she is definitely curious. ]

Ibuki's been on it a few times already, and she hasn't died yet!!

[ WHAT A GLOWING RECOMMENDATION. As soon as they reach the cup, Ibuki slides on in, hands going onto the steering wheel automatically. It should start once Aya is inside and settled. ]

... Well, I suppose you only live once.

[ cautiously clambering in and trying to settle herself, like a bird settling into a ruffled nest. curiosity will kill the crow one day, probably. ]

[ AND HERE WE GO - by the way Ibuki's going to madly spin the wheel, apologies for her everything. ]

Now we spiiiiiiiiiiin!

Spin? With this? [ following suit and gripping the wheel, still totally (unsure) about this whole thing, but. SURE, LET'S TRY THIS. ]

Yep! We turn it round and round!

[ Which Ibuki is doing as the ride starts up and the teacup begins jerking around wildly. ]

[ ahhHH she doesn't quite expect that. CLINGING TO WHEEL oh god what is happening, this is crazytown. ] I-is this supposed to happen!?

Yeaaaaaaaah! This is the best part!!

[ SPOILERS THE CRAZY SPINNING IS ALSO THE ONLY PART... ]

[ NO, WHY... ] Best?! Don't you mean worst--!

But isn't it fun to get so dizzy you're gonna be sick?!

[ only to ibuki ]

Is that a rhetorical question?!

Of course! Ibuki knows it's really fun!

[ CRAZY LAUGHTER ]

Hey, what's your name, anyway?!

It's Aya-yayaya--! [ ... JUST AYA but she can't help squeaking a little as rickety spinning intensifies. WHY THIS. ]

Nice to meet you Ayayayayayayayaya-chan!

[ TOO LATE ]

N-no, it's just--Aya... yaaa--! [ TOO DIZZY. STUPID RIDE. ]

Ayahahahahaha!

[ you will never correct her aya i'm sorry...

oh look the ride is winding down... ]

I... it's...

I give up... [ clinging to the side of the teacup, o-ow the worst ride. 0/10. ]

We can go again if you want!!!

[ do you want to

if not speak fast ]

[ GOTTA GO FAST-- ] Once is enough! It's enough!

Eh?! Does Ayayayayaya-chan want to go on the coaster next?!

[ THERE ARE STILL MANY MORE RIDES TO BE RIDDEN ]

[ N... NOT YET. ] How about a break? My head's spinning...

And it's just Aya, Miss Ibuki!
