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!

Oh, Kyo-chan!

[ And anyone who heard that exchange is likely baffled, as the younger-looking boy skips over to the elder-looking one, swinging his stuffed rabbit around as he does so. Were Kyouya any of the other hosts Honey might hang off his arm or back, but since it's Kyouya, he refrains. ]

Ne, ne, is everyone else here, too? I found Takashi, but...

[glasshole]

Not everyone is accounted for, but there seem to be a number of us! Whoever our mystery host is, they've made some curious choices in the guest list.

[cakelover]

Eh...I don't quite get it, but all of us would be fairly hard to take like that...even if your family's guards are easy to beat.

[ honey you only think that because you can take them all down easily...for normal people that's not the case...

but takashi and mituskuni in particular...capturing them... ]

Though, Usa-chan is also here, so that's good!

[ he knows you were worried about that yes ]

[glasshole]

[That was the most pressing concern.]

A good point. And an excellent reminder to look into the compensation level for the security force, it currently strikes me as excessive.

Now, I'm only thinking aloud, but isn't it more likely we've been drugged? Hm...that would be troublesome, though. I can't allow that kind of damage to our reputation as a club.

[cakelover]

Maybe they need more practice...!

[ A quick nod, although a shrug after. The reputation is Kyouya's area, really. ]

Takashi thinks that's most likely, too. Most of these people aren't from other families, though, right? Usa-chan and I feel like the mix of people here is a little odd, like Kyo-chan said earlier.

[glasshole]

None of these people are students at the Academy, and I can't say I'm familiar with any of their families.

[Which he would be if they were anyone of consequences.]

This is a large scale operation, it can't have come cheap. I can't see how they intend to get any ransom money out of some of these people, so at the least, that can't be their only intention.

[cakelover]

Not all of them seem to be Japanese, either...?

[ Not that foreigners are bad or anything but ]

[glasshole]

Well, that's to be expected. I doubt we're still in Japan. Given that the Ootori Group is prepared to expand into a related industry, I can say with a fair bit of confidence that no such vacant property exists in the country right now.

[cakelover]

What else has Kyo-chan learned...?

[ Honey has just kind of aimlessly been wandering around tbh... ]

[glasshole]

Very little worthwhile. If I'm familiar with any operation similar to this, I find myself unable to recall.

[cakelover]

[ TROUBLING...while normally Honey doesn't mind not knowing what the hell is going on, he doesn't normally wake up with bloody bandages wrapped around his head and something implanted in his arm.

It's hard to face that with cute childishness. ]

Weeeeeeell, in that case we should continue exploring, right?

[glasshole]

That's the best we can do for now. Don't wander off to far, though, won't you? I'll be relying on you and Mori-senpai if anything changes.

[cakelover]

Of course! We wouldn't let anything happen to you.

[ If nothing else they can be relied upon for that... ]
