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!

It seems to be some kind of fontech, though I've never seen anything quite like it.

[ She nods her head in response to his questions. ] That's right.

[glasshole]

[What the hell is a fontech. Oh well. Best not to correct her.]

Oh, and...is it Princess Natalia? [Because he has looked through the profiles beforehand.] I did also want to ask whether there might be anyone you believe would have reason to abduct you?

[royalizing]

Ah- Yes, that's correct. But please, call me Natalia. We are in the same situation together, after all.

[ She hesitates a little before answering. ] As the heir to the throne, there are always concerns about my safety. [ Not that she cares, because she's a strong independent princess who don't need no pampering ]

[glasshole]

Gladly. Let us do our best to work with one another.

I can only imagine to be the case, but nothing along these lines? I only ask because I think that's another consistency - no particular connection to anything like whatever organization is responsible.

[royalizing]

No, I can't think of anyone who would do something as outlandish as this.

[ No hesitation on that point. Even if Malkuth were to kidnap her as an act of war, there would be no need for this. ]
