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!

Clash, then. And I agree. I'm not sure what the purpose of these... machinations are, but I plan to be exploring this incident in full detail.

[fanbase]

Good luck with that.

[ That... actually comes out as some kind of genuine assurance. She means it. ]

Besides, I bet there won't be a big reveal until later. That's usually how these kind of things go.

[photoshot]

Speaking from experience? The life of a star can be dangerous, huh?

[fanbase]

What kinda life would it be if a rockstar didn't live an awesome one? Lotsa stuff happens when you're famous.

[photoshot]

It definitely sounds like an interesting life, yes. Care to share a story?

[fanbase]

Yeah! This might surprise you, but I'm also our band's videographer. I shoot almost all of our videos.

Anyway, there was this contest where we had to film a video in a never before seen place and... well, I knew exactly where to shoot: Aztec ruins. Brilliant idea, right? It was a great backdrop, though we did have a little issue with snakes and a cheetah at one point, but it turned out gnarly in the end. There was fire and everything! Definitely the coolest video we've made and way better than that Video Montgomery's Jem music videos.

[photoshot]

A videographer? Amazing! It'd be nice if my camera has video capabilities, but it's all polaroids. A girl can dream...

But that's definitely impressive! I'd love to see that video in the future, if it's at all possible.

[fanbase]

If you're gonna put this article out then you bet you'll see a bunch of them, I'm sure.

[photoshot]

You Misfits are that prolific, are you?

[fanbase]

Well yeah. Why else would I say we're number one on the charts?

[photoshot]

If at all possible, I'd love to attend and cover a show too. Take a few dozen press shots, the whole deal~

[fanbase]

I'd have to ask Pizzazz about that... whatever gets publicity though, right? I don't think she'll mind that. Being in the limelight is one of her strong suits.

[photoshot]

I understand! I'll ask if I find her--maybe I'm just getting ahead of myself here.

[fanbase]

It's hard not to be pretty starstruck when you're dealing with the Misfits. Who could blame ya?

[photoshot]

I may be a new fan--I'll withhold judgement until I can hear a song--but please be patient with me!

[fanbase]

Wish I could play you one right now, but it's better with all five of us.

Who knows? Maybe one of the prizes at the carnival will end up being one of our albums.

[photoshot]

That would be lucky! In that case, let's hope for the best.
