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.]

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!

Ah... Um...

[Oz has no idea what powerlevels in this context means, but after a little puzzling, he thinks he can answer the first part.]

My little sister has cats! She lets me play with them and I take care of them when she's busy with her studies.

Cats, hmm? Not a bad choice, but you're still merely an apprentice.

[Considering. Considering.]

You may hold one. Briefly. But I will not hesitate to intervene should you err!
harepiece: (a face you can trust)

[Score. He holds his hands out in a little cradle shape.]

Thanks! I promise that I'll be really, really careful.

[Trying not to touch him at all, placing one of the little rabbits in his hands. And watching carefully.]
harepiece: (bluebirds)

[He'll reciprocate by trying to avoid touching Gundam, too, but the tiny rabbit does not escape his tiny rabbit fate...

Oz holds it close to his chest, shifting it so it's tucked into one arm. Since it frees up his other hand, he uses that to gently pet between its shoulders with one finger. As promised, he's being very careful and not making any sudden movements. He even talks more quietly when he speaks up again.]


...I don't know who would leave these guys out here to go hungry like this.

[personal profile] godwhisperer 2014-09-21 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes! He's pleased by this effort to be gentle and also talk about animals. You'll make a good apprentice.]

At least take the beasts when you abandon your park! Even if the absence of wild creatures perturbed me on that island, that's one thing that can be said for the despicable host, he was not so irresponsible.
harepiece: (didn't sleep last night)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-21 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's so proud of himself for climbing this mountain...

That said, the smile on his face shifts to a look of muted curiosity upon hearing that.]


...Were you on an island before you came here, then? Do you know who brought us here?
godwhisperer: (pic#6844900)

[personal profile] godwhisperer 2014-09-22 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
I was. And I do not, but I have my suspicions. Yet, that knowledge will do you no good.
harepiece: (nobody raise your voices)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-22 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
But what if you're right? Even if knowing that may not be much, it's still a start, isn't it?

[This is probably the most contrary insistence that Oz has shown since waking...]
godwhisperer: (pic#6844895)

[personal profile] godwhisperer 2014-09-23 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
...Yes, all right.

[A straightforward answer??]

Prior to coming here, my classmates and I were taken to an island. There, an abomination shaped as a bear and a mockery of a rabbit did contrive to tempt us into killing one another.
harepiece: (thrown to the waters)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-23 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He knew this guy was sensible and reliable!! Anyone who likes rabbits clearly is...

There is also no question on his end about what the hell Gundam's talking about when he mentions animal-shaped abominations.]


Hm... Are you worried that the same thing might happen here, then? That the ones who brought us here will try the same thing?
godwhisperer: (pic#6010285)

[personal profile] godwhisperer 2014-09-23 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
That captor is not one to simply allow us to leave with not a repercussion.

Yet...he also could not resist showing himself, I think.
harepiece: (a lovely tune)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-23 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think we should wait until then? I'm not sure it's a good idea... Some people have been working on finding a way to leave, but I think that going near the fence might be dangerous.

[He glances down at his arm while talking, where the little rabbit has made itself at home and seems to be dozing. If they're gonna find a way out, it's going to have to be animal friendly...]
