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!

You really consider being kidnapped and brought to some rundown amusement park with a bunch of kids is fun? I can't imagine what your life is like back home.

[ She doesn't even make a comment about the dress. Yet. ]

[chronic]

[ Super flatly: ] No. You really can't imagine. Trust me. This is fun.

[fanbase]

Yeah, yeah whatever. Move aside.

[ She opens the door to the shop and peers in, scrunching her nose at the dust floating around and the smell of mildew. ]

So you're just planning to go back to your room and dress up? That's it?

[chronic]

Yeah. [ he's 10, cut him some slack!! ] Why not?

[fanbase]

Just wondering.

[ She looks around some more and hardly seeings anything of interest. Clash closes the door and turns back to him. ]

Nothing in there even looks real, it just looks like a buncha typical Halloween stuff. Lame.

[chronic]

Yeah, isn't that the idea?

[fanbase]

Well yeah, but you'd think they would have at least one thing here that looks cool. Even their make-up kits look totally low quality, they're probably expired too.

[chronic]

You seem to know lots about this stuff.

[fanbase]

Why wouldn't I be? Isn't part of the fun being in a band about pulling off your style?

[chronic]

I guess you do look weird enough to be in a band.

[fanbase]

The Misfits are the hottest band around, we look better than just weird.

Besides, you're the kid wearing a superhero costume.

[chronic]

It's my thing. I have to wear it.

[fanbase]

Have to? Why?

[chronic]

None must know Mysterion's true face.

[fanbase]

Mysterion? What do you do, fight bullies or something?

[ It's amazing how that doesn't come out as sarcastic, but as a legitimate question. ]

[chronic]

I do whatever is needed. That can include bullies sometimes.

[fanbase]

Whatever's needed? Like what?

[chronic]

I keep track of crime. I'm always watching.

[fanbase]

So then you know how brought us here?

[chronic]

...Unfortunately, no.

[fanbase]

So they even got you too, huh? Guess the only way to figure things out is to work together.
