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!

Thaaaaaat's right! Just trust Ibuki! Come on, let's pick that pink one! Ibuki wants to twirl around until she's sick!

[ Why is this girl speaking in the third person? Who knows. But we are going straight over to that pink teacup with the yellow daisy pattern. ]

Ibuki is Ibuki! What's your name?

[loveisanopendoor]

Okay, okay, I believe you!

[She certainly is a character...but, still, a positive attitude like hers was exactly what they needed to have, and so, Anna will happily accompany her to the cute pink teacup!]

I'm Princess Anna, of Arendelle. But you can just call me Anna, since that's kind of a mouthful! It's nice to meet you, Ibuki!

[poyoyon]

Nice to meet you, Anna-chan! Now...sit down and let the ride begin!

[ say goodbye to a settled stomach, Anna. Even if the ride weren't halfway broken and jerky, Ibuki is going to spin this wheel madly for all she's worth.

While cackling madly.

REGRET YOUR DECISIONS... ]

[loveisanopendoor]

Wait, what?! I-is it supposed to be spinning like this?!

[Anna's...kind of freaking out right now! This is so crazy! They're sitting in a giant spinning teacup and this is actually really fun but also really dizzifying]

[poyoyon]

Yeeeeeeeeees! That's the best part!

[ Anna, you have seen nothing yet. NEXT IS THE COASTER seriously next she will try to take you on the coaster if not stopped. ]

Anna-chan's really never been to a park before?! Teacups are a must-ride!

[loveisanopendoor]

[SHE'S NOT STOPPING YOU BUT SHE'S STILL REALLY DIZZY..]

I-I haven't, no! We don't have anything like this back in Arendelle! I've never seen anything like this before back home...

[poyoyon]

[ THAT'S THE BEST PART! ]

Arendelle?! Ibuki's never heard of it!! But let's spin some more! Ibuki wants to see at least five Anna-chans!

[loveisanopendoor]

Really..?

[Well, she guesses it's understandable. After all, the gates have been closed off for some time...]

A-at least five?! You're gonna get so dizzy you'll barely stand!!

[poyoyon]

Heh heh heh heh heh! Five hehs! That's the point of a park! Getting so sick you can barely stomach it...! That's the feeling of true excitement!

[ Is...is it really?

Well then ]

[loveisanopendoor]

So whoever brought us here...wanted us to get really sick and have fun, is what you're trying to say..?

...Something tells me this wasn't what they had in mind...

[poyoyon]

...Maybe, but if Ibuki gets another creepy speech about murdering people, she at least wants to have a lot of fun, first!

[ monobear can suck it!!!

Looks like the teacup ride is almost over...sad times. ]

[loveisanopendoor]

...Wait, what?! Maybe I didn't hear you right, I think the ride's going too fast!

[poyoyon]

Ehehehe! It's almost doooooooone!

[ And in fact, the teacup screeches to a halt to let them out. How dizzy are you, Anna? ]

What next?!

[loveisanopendoor]

H-hold on...I think I need to get my balance first, I'm feeling a little woozy...

[Sure enough, poor Anna can barely move straight...]

Y-you said there was some kind of a coaster..?

[poyoyon]

[ Laughing, Ibuki will reach over to balance the other girl, even as she starts to pull her in a different direction. ]

Yep! Ibuki saw it over in this direction! She hasn't gone on it yet, though. This will be the first time!

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, I've never been on a coaster before myself, but if it spins, too...

[Geez, everything's starting to get a little blurry..but it was true, she was having a good time.]

[poyoyon]

Nope! Coasters jut go super really fast! C'mon, c'mon, we have to have as much fun as possible!

[ Holding out her hand for Anna to take. ]

[loveisanopendoor]

Well, if you say it's fun, I'm gonna trust you, since you're clearly more of an expert than I am!

[Anna doesn't quite know which hand to take, since there are multiple ones in front of her and they're all kind of unsteady...but she'll reach out and take whichever one is closest!]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki's definitely a park expert!

[ No worries, the other girl will help out and her real hand will grab Anna's hand, after which she starts to tow her towards the coaster. ]

Did you like the teacups?!

[loveisanopendoor]

[She's calming down a little bit, just enough to give Ibuki a sincere smile...]

Y-yeah, definitely! They were really fun, even though I came out dizzy, so I'm hoping everything else here is just as fun!

[If nothing else, it's certainly good to have people like her around.]
