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.]

[okay so i mostly just wanted to throw her at him because she's from a fantasy ripoff of alexandria.......... that's almost egyptian, right

Anyway, Sheba doesn't take too kindly to being yelled at, which is why her eyes are narrowed somewhat when she turns to look at him when he calls out to her. But she can understand fear and anger in this kind of situation, and so she only lets a little of her irritation bleed through as she holds up her hand so he can see the bracelet embedded into her wrist.]


Someone who was brought here against my will, just like you!

[Close enough!

Malik narrows his eyes as she holds up her hand, his eyes looking for the bracelet. As soon as he sees it, he understands and closes his hand around the bracelet embedded in his own wrist.

He still sounds angry, but only his frustration seems to be aimed at her now.]
Do you remember how you got here?

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2014-09-21 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
No. But whoever brought me here better hope that I don't remember it later, or I'm really going to let them have it.

[Except not really, since she can no longer call down a thunderstorm to ruin her enemies' day. What a shame.

She lets out a small, huffy-sounding sigh and crosses her arms.]


...since it looks like we're stuck here together, we might as well introduce ourselves. My name is Sheba.
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  you son of a...!)

[He doesn't seem too thrilled to be talking anymore once she confirmed that she knew nothing.]

Malik Ishtar, but don't misunderstand. I don't have any plans to stick around any longer than to find out who did this to me...

[He curls his lip, from anger and from the pain in his head as he grazes his hand over the bandages.] ...and have them pay.

I won't stop you. Kidnappers are the lowest of the low.

[She has a lot of feelings about kidnappers. They're all pretty negative.]

My guess is we're all pretty motivated to pay back whoever did this to us. If I find out anything about them, I'll let you know. [Because Malik seems like he'd make them suffer and... she would really like to see them suffer... Her moral compass is a little out of whack when it comes to being kidnapped. God.]
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  suspicious)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-09-22 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
If you do that, then I'll do the same. [Because the faster they find these kidnappers, the better. He can cooperate towards that common goal for now.]

But I want to be the one to make them regret what they've done first, do you understand?
uncoincidental: (004)

[personal profile] uncoincidental 2014-09-22 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get it.

[Malik can go first, that's fine by her. She'll go last so that the memory of what she'll do to them will be fresh in their minds.]

Just make sure there's still something left for me to work with by the time you're done.
obeytherod: (MALIK  ‣  overly confident)

[personal profile] obeytherod 2014-09-22 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll try. [He smirks, bitter and hateful. There's no doubt that he plans something nasty for whoever's behind this.]
