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!

How should I know? But I don't think it's exactly an insult, either!

[ She's really going on the offensive! Edea is a girl you definitely don't want to piss off... ]


H-hey! I totally dated!

[edealistical]

Past tense for a reason.

[She murmurs darkly.]

...Don't worry. I'm good at multitasking; I have enough time to teach you about girls while we're here.

[siggey]

I've done nothing wrong for the record, her text message was totally cryptic and I mysteriously couldn't get back in touch with her after! It was definitely NOT a normal breakup!

[ I'm a decent guy, I just do and say things any other normal, healthy, and fertile male would too! ]

B-besides, shouldn't we focus on getting outta here? We need to step out and take a look around. Talking here isn't gonna free us any faster!

[edealistical]

Woooow.

[She'll arch an eyebrow before laughing slightly.]

Sorry to bring it up! I'm joking, you know - a little bit. But you shouldn't get so flustered about this kind of thing...

[siggey]

[ I'm just going to head for the door and not look back at her. ]

Whatever. Are you gonna stay here, Edea?

[edealistical]

Of course not!

I'm going to get to the bottom of this - these dastards don't know what they've gotten into!

[With that, she will vigorously dash away on to heroics.]
