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!

that prompt with my name on it

[Even he was unsettled when he woke up in a place like this... though plenty of theories crossed his mind, none of them quite make sense without the missing piece of his memories and the headache thereafter. Hearing Mitsukuni's voice, his head throbs again... whatever this is, he's certain his cousin ought to have no part in it. But he is, and so as far as Mori's concerned, this is no different than usual. It is up to him to protect him. Obviously, his back is a prime location for that, so Mori stands still and 'catches' him. But after that, he turns to look at the other boy. He has the same scar... frowning, he taps his head, immediately wanting to take care of him.]

Let me see.

[cakelover]

[ Mitsukuni obediently holds still so Mori can fuss at him, hanging over Mori's shoulder so that his cousin can check out the scar on his head. ]

On my wrist, too! But, it's even weirder with Takashi here...

[ Who could manage to get both of them unawares? They're...sort of terrifying to deal with when it comes to fighting. ]

[dotdotdotstare]

[He's just gonna take a little peek, but after determining it's exactly the same, he's not too inclined to mess with it... it's already bandaged and stitched, what more can he do? Clean it up a bit? And the bracelet is just bizarre, so the only thing he can do at that is frown intensely. ... Well, cleaning it isn't a terrible idea, so once he's satisfied, he'll nod and start walking to look for supplies, carrying Honey along. Honey, who has a point.]

Yeah.

[With both of them, there's just no chance in hell. Which narrows it down slightly.]

Wasn't a battle...

[Knockout gas, maybe some kind of drugs...? He's not going to trouble Honey with his suspicions.]

[cakelover]

[ Honey obviously will just calmly allow himself to be taxied along. This is a perfectly normal occurrence for them - the Mori ferrying Honey along part, at least, even if the rest of it is really, really weird. Honey isn't bothered by Mori's quiet, terse responses, either.

That's just how his cousin is. ]

Noooooope. We'd have won that! So they did something sneaky...I don't like people who do things like that.

[ UNDERHANDED...Only Kyouya is allowed to be underhanded! ]

[dotdotdotstare]

[nodding in agreement.]

... We'll find them.

[DUN DUN DUN]

[cakelover]

[ AND WHEN THEY DO... ]

What're we looking for right now? I found Usa-chan already.

[dotdotdotstare]

Medicine.

[Which he's using as an umbrella term to include everything from fresh bandages to painkillers. Oh Mori.

Still, it isn't long before he finds the first aid building. And after he grabs some stuff, he'll probably look to Honey for what he wants to do next.]

[cakelover]

Oh, I see! Right, right, we should tend to one another's head wounds...

[ It'd be bad if they got infected or something... ]
