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!

E-eh?! What was that part about casualties?!

[ WAS THAT EVEN AN OPTION ]

[photonement]

It said there we-we-WEREN'T any, Ibuki-chan! Hooray!!

[poyoyon]

But why was that an option?! Ibuki's a bomb! They made Ibuki into a bomb! She never wanted to be a bomb!

[ PANIIIIIIIIIIIIIIC at the disco ]

[photonement]

Ibuki-chan's not a bomb! You're a superstar!

HOW WOULD A BOMB FIT INTO THIS BRACELET...

[poyoyon]

[ BLUE SCREEEEEEEEEEEN ]

Ghghghghgh...!

[photonement]

What kind of explosive IS THIS???

Would other people get caught in it too??

[poyoyon]

No no no nonononononono! Ibuki isn't listeniiiiiiiiiiiiiing!

/sneaks in here at lucy's request

[impheired]

Oi, Mioda! Get a hold of yourself! [Okay, truthfully Kuzuryuu's kind of panicking himself here because WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE DELUSIONAL? He's kind of seeing dead classmates everywhere, surely this qualifies. But he can at least keep a hold of himself in spite of that.] When has panicking ever solved anything!?

[poyoyon]

B-but Ibuki doesn't want to be a bomb!

[ But she calms down a little. UNTIL THE RULES, then you're out of luck. ]

[impheired]

Nobody does, but freaking out about it isn't going to solve it or make it any less true. So keep it together, we'll figure something out, alright?

[Goddammit, Ibuki. Why.]

[poyoyon]

[ idk try your luck again bro MAYBE THE PRIVATE DANGAN MEETING WILL HELP HER OUT? ]

R-right! If that guy isn't here, it's okay! It'sokayit'sokayit'sokay!

[impheired]

Right, exactly. [He's not wholly convinced because #pesssimist_life_5eva but right now, he really needs Ibuki to get a hold of herself. Because she's even less helpful when she's hysterical like this.] So just...calm down.

[poyoyon]

[ At least she seems to be calming down for the moment... ]

I-Ibuki totally did a lot of legwork, too, so!

[impheired]

Good...good... The five of us can meet up in a bit then. We'll figure something out.

[They are all SHSL after all. LET'S PUT THAT TALENT TO GOOD USE GUYS.]

[mediumburgers]

Well, they did cut open our heads. Kind of rude, actually!

[poyoyon]

Ibuki thinks scars are cool, but she wouldn't go this far for them! How rude!

[mediumburgers]

I would say "they could have at least asked first!" but I guess since they took some of our memories, we could have agreed and not even remember it. But really, it doesn't sound like something I'd agree to!

[poyoyon]

Ibuki either! She's so done with things like this! S - O - D - O - N - E!

[mediumburgers]

Have you faced something like this before?

[poyoyon]

No! Ibuki is definitely done with this!

[ SCREAMING ]

[mediumburgers]

Calm down! Screaming won't help!

[ IBUKI... ]

[poyoyon]

...

[ now she's whispering frantically ]

[mediumburgers]

That's better... I guess...

[poyoyon]

...

[ oh she's going to keep doing it ]

[mediumburgers]

...

[ gentle pat on the shoulder

there there, crazy girl ]
