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 raises her eyebrow at how angry this dude is. Why's he yelling at her? It's not like it's her fault, she's a part of this too. ]

I'm— [ She bangs her wrist cymbals together. ] Clash! Who are you?

[obeytherod]

Ugh. [Malik winces at the noise. Somebody was just rooting around in his head, he doesn't need this!]

Do you have to do that?! Now answer me, what do you have to do with this place? [He's not bothering to answer her question at all.]

[fanbase]

You really think I have something to do with this lame place? Look at me. I wouldn't be caught dead here!

[obeytherod]

If you ask me, you match the ugly decorations perfectly. [But more to the point, he shoots her an accusatory look.] I don't believe you.

[fanbase]

If I was the one who brought you here, why would I have this?

[ She rolls her eyes, turns around, and pushes her hair up to show the hideous scar, then turns back to him and moves one of her wrist cymbals out of the way to show the embedded bracelet. ]

Or this? Maybe because I'm not the person you're looking for.

[obeytherod]

Feh... You're right, you really don't seem capable of pulling off something like this.

[It's still not clear whether he fully believes her or not as folds his arms to watch her with a scrutinizing gaze.]

Do you remember who brought you here?

[fanbase]

If I did, why would I tell you? It looks like you've got your own agenda.

[obeytherod]

[He wrinkles his nose, and then shrugs his shoulders.]

Well, we're all in the same boat, aren't we? We should work together to find whoever did this.

[fanbase]

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar, but if you really wanna work together... no. I know as much as you do.

[obeytherod]

What? [Modern analogies, what are those? He grew up under a literal rock, so the phrase just gets an annoyed look.]

Great, you don't know anything... Then I'm going to go find someone who does.

[fanbase]

Good luck with that.

[obeytherod]

I don't need luck. [And with that, he's brushing past her to find someone he deems useful.]

[fanbase]

Nerd.

[ She mumbles to herself before she goes on with her own exploring. ]

[obeytherod]

[Excuse you Clash, nerds don't play children's trading card games.]
