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!

[Please judge his hairstyle, it's horrible. But then again, they're both weirdos.]

[Royce blinks, his face barely even changing in expression at that...weird statement.]

They belong to someone else. Uh. The one who owns this park, yes? You should ask them first, ask them, I think...

[godwhisperer]

The human laws of ownership are of no consequence to me, you see. I only give weight to whether the beast herself calls any mortal their master. If the beast recognizes no master, then they will become my vassals.

[eventhandler]

But the animals didn't give you, er, explicit permission to be their "master", you know...

Are you some kind of...animal authority?

[godwhisperer]

Aha! Your instincts must be sharp to recognize it! Then...do you intend to threaten my position?

A competition, then. We'll see who these ones recognize!

[eventhandler]

[This is the flattest look in the history of flat looks.]

...I'm not going to fight you for the rabbits.

[godwhisperer]

Admitting defeat before we've begun! How disappointing, yet a wise decision.

[eventhandler]

I never agreed to fight you on anything, actually...

[Royce says, with a shrug.]

...Where are you going to keep them? The rabbits.
