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.]

[A VICTORY. He's still counting it as one even when the person who opens the door already seems 110% done with him before he even says anything...]

Hi! Hello - sorry, I was just curious. You just woke up here too, right?
royalizing: (o_O)

oops pretend i said bee barrack door instead of bee #3

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-21 09:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, I woke up this morning in one of these rooms. [ There's a slight pause before 'building' because it barely qualifies... ]

Do you know anything about all this?
harepiece: (that's a surprise)

no problemo i dont even know how these barracks work...

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-21 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[He is being generous with his description...

That said, he shakes his head at the question, brow furrowing.]


I just woke up here, too, but it seemed like a good idea to look around a little and see what all of these other places were about. [Also filled with kidnappees, apparently?!] I guess you probably have one of these too, right?

[He lifts his wrist up at that, showing off the bracelet.]
royalizing: (what's the meaning of this?)

\o/

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-21 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her expression turns sour at his question. ]

I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw it. The nerve of these people! To kidnap us, doing something to our heads and then putting these things on us as if we were some kind of... experiment!

[ It hits a little too close to home... ]
harepiece: (didn't sleep last night)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-22 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He's a little too placid to reflect her indignation, but his expression does seem to fall a little at that.]

I haven't seen anyone around yet who looks like they know what's going on here, either, so... [A pause, and he glances down the hall toward the other rooms.]

...I wonder if they just left us all here.
royalizing: (:|)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-22 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ She shakes her head. ]

No, it doesn't seem like it. Did you hear the announcement this morning?
harepiece: (didn't sleep last night)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-22 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
The announcement? [He echoes it back, having to think it over since he was a little fuzz-brained by the time it happened.]

...Right. It mentioned something about medical conditions, I think.
royalizing: (i don't understand)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-22 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, and about adjusting to reality. [ Whatever that meant... ]

It also mentioned how they would 'start later'. I don't know what they were referring to, but there must be someone watching us.
harepiece: (it's a trying time)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-22 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that would explain why some parts of this place don't seem as abandoned as the others.

[Like these BIGASS STEEL DOORS on the bedrooms...]

I wonder what we're waiting for, then.
royalizing: (did i hear that right?)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-23 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. But whatever it is, it can't be good if they went to so much effort.

[ Because kidnapping usually = bad, yes... ]
harepiece: (thrown to the waters)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-23 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[GENERALLY SPEAKING...]

Hm... Well, I guess the first thing we should do is look around, right? Maybe we can find someone who knows what's going on here. [Apparently "I" has become "we".]
royalizing: (did you say something?)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-23 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ JUST A LITTLE...

Natalia will step away from the doorway finally. ]


Yes, we should. [ Then she folds her arms, though doesn't look nearly as annoyed as earlier. ] However, before that, do you plan to introduce yourself?
harepiece: (bluebirds)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-23 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[OOPS. He definitely looks embarrassed, one hand rising to the back of his head briefly.]

Sorry about that! My name's Oz; it's nice to meet you, miss.
royalizing: (stand firm and tall)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-23 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
Likewise. My name is Natalia.

[ She'll let her door closed behind her at that. ] Shall we be off?
harepiece: (a gambling man)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-23 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
[A nod!]

All right! Where do you want to look first, Miss Natalia? [He's already starting to mosey away from the barracks while speaking...]
royalizing: (eheheh)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-23 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
When I was walking around earlier, I saw something that looked like a castle... Perhaps we could start there.

[ As expected of a true princess...! ]
harepiece: (a lovely tune)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-23 02:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Also being a ridiculous noble, Oz sees nothing wrong in this logic!]

Oh! I wonder if it belongs to the person who owns this land. Do you remember which direction it's in?
royalizing: (isn't that so?)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-24 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Ridiculous nobles unite... ]

If I recall correctly, it was this way. [ She'll start walking towards the castle! ]
harepiece: (what a tweest!!)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-24 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[AND HE WILL FOLLOW in his ridiculous noble way.]

That's pretty weird, isn't it? That they'd have a castle when everything else is ruined... [Little does he know THE CASTLE IS ALSO RUINED.]
royalizing: (teehee)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-24 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, perhaps it's haunted? [ Is that a little spark of excitement at the prospect maybe... ]

They do always have a haunted mansion in the stories I've read.
harepiece: (you heathens)

[personal profile] harepiece 2014-09-24 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Natalia why...]

I've read about those, too! But wouldn't that mean that the people who brought us here were actually ghosts?
royalizing: (hoh?)

[personal profile] royalizing 2014-09-24 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... That would certain explain why we can't see them. [ No... ]
