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!

[ ...There's more of the big sausages, anyway. If he wants one, he can get another one. Wow, being a human must be amazing. Even if they do have to walk around on two legs and miss all of the exciting things on the ground.

Everything is sausages and petting. Everything is wonderful. ]

[Life is good for Oz and dog. He'll pretty much keep petting Missile until he gets tired of it... And talk to him at the same time, because he's one of Those People that talks to animals.]

Did that taste all right? Huh... It's okay for you to eat stuff like that, isn't it? [Probably should have thought of that sooner, WHOOPS.]

[paws_and_rewind]

[ The wuffing means YES IT WAS DELICIOUS, the grease traces on his muzzle say PROBABLY NOT. But, you know. It's edible. Probably not great for his digestion, but that would be the case for most entities and most park food. ]

[He will feel SO GUILTY if Missile ends up getting sick later, but for now, this is good enough...]

Good, good! Hey, are you thirsty? We can go back to the kitchen and get you some water there. The water out here is bad to drink.

[paws_and_rewind]

[ That bark means yes. Or it could mean I AM A DOG ON THE FURNITURE, LONG LIVE THE REVOLUTION. ]

[harepiece]

[HE WILL CHEER MISSILE ON IN THE CASE OF THE LATTER but he's assuming it's the former, so:]

Let's go get you some water!

[paws_and_rewind]

[ Getting down from places is a lot easier than getting up to places! Off they go! ]

[harepiece]

[Before leaving, he'll snatch up a few more hot dogs from the concession stand and then follows off after him for more merry lunch shenanigans. Oz will make sure that Missile is well-fed and has plenty of water to drink YEAH.]
