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!

I don't think something like that exists...

[It better not exist...]

I guess for now all we can do is split up and see what we can find. Starting with just how many of us wound up here. If we all do some investigating on our own, then we can meet up later, put it all together, and go from there.

[There's that business-like tone again. It's almost like he has actual leadership potential or something, wow.]

...you should clean that damn cut up though, first. Last thing you want is for something like that get infected. There's a first aid room over there. [He gestures to a small room a little ways away that's probably where he came from before running into Ibuki. Considering his own head wound has definitely been cleaned up.]

Okaaaaaaaaaay! Ibuki will meet Fuyuhiko-chan back here later, then! Leave the legwork to her! She will work her legs super hard!

[ She is probably one of the easier cats to herd, at least. ...Though mostly she will get distracted and ride all the rides when left to her own devices, so...maybe not?

Ibuki's gonna have basically nothing to contribute if the Dangans have a group private meeting, huh. ]

[poyoyon]

E-eh? Does Ibuki have to wash it, though? Won't that hurt a little? Besides, it's cooler if it leaves a scar.

[ is she actually five

maybe ]

[impheired]

...okay, well I'm not going to argue with you on the scar aspect of it, [YOU'RE RIGHT, IBUKI, SCARS ARE COOLER. LET HIM TELL YOU HOW MUCH HIS PRESTIGE HAS GONE UP NOW THANKS TO ALL THESE GODDAMN BLADE SCARS.] but it's on your goddamn head, dumbass. It'll sting a little, yeah, but it's gonna hurt even more if it gets infected.

I'm not gonna fuss over you like Tsumiki would and potentially will if she's here, [Which...he is not entirely sure if he hopes she is or not because dear lord, Tsumiki....] but you need to at least clean it out, even if you don't bother trying to prevent it from scarring up.

[poyoyon]

Ehhhhhhhhh...Ibuki will find someone to clean it for her, she guesses!

[ probably Mahiru???? Who knows. Maybe Peko. She's not doing it on her own, apparently, though. ]

[poyoyon]

Hey, hey, who do you think has more scars, Ibuki or Fuyuhiko-chan?!

[ LET'S COMPARE ]

[impheired]

You better. If I see you again and it still looks like that, I'll do it myself and I'll make damn well sure it stings like a bitch. [He...threatens because he cares???]

...And I'm pretty sure I've got more than you.

[If you remembered chapter two and three, Ibuki, you would probably know there's no real contest there.]

[poyoyon]

[ ............YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH HER FIRST, BRO. ]

Eh?!! Let's compare!

[ ibuki go away and "explore" already ]

[impheired]

[Have you forgotten how fast this fucker can run when he wants to? He may not have much in the ways of beef but that tiny build is good for some things.]

H-Hell no! I'd have to get undressed for that!

[If he wouldn't do it for a princess, he's sure as hell not going to do it for you, Ibuki.]

Just hurry up and get investigating already, we don't have all fucking day here! [Shoo.]

[poyoyon]

Riiiiiiiiiiight! Ibuki will investigate everything!

[ no she won't in .5 seconds she's going to forget about this and go ride rides

sorry bro you need to go find the more useful dangans ]

It's okay to admit Ibuki has more cool scars than you, Fuyuhiko-chaaan!

[ And she's going to start skipping off.......... ]

[impheired]

I wasn't admitting it, dumbass!! [HE JUST HAS SOME STANDARDS AND MORALS, GODDAMMIT. WHY IS THIS SUCH A BAD THING?] If your brain wasn't more addled than it usual right now, you'd know I'm telling the fucking truth!

[poyoyon]

Tooooooo bad! Ibuki already wooooooooooon!

[ Skipping backwards is just as doable as walking backwards ]
