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.]

This is an IC mingle covering the first day! Night roles will go up Monday at 4 PM EST, but you are welcome to continue to thread here once that happens. Make sure to follow any updates on plurk!

[Levi glances towards him with a slight tilt of the head.]

It's possible.

If the seven aren't killers born and bred, then you can at least count on them to have some strong motivation to fulfill their roles. Otherwise there would be no game.
eventhandler: (we looked so hard)

[Royce looks very concerned by that. To think, that he was dragged here, only to be killed by some murderer? After all he worked for...?]

That makes sense.

Do you think these murderers, ah, if they exist, know the one who kidnapped us? Working with them, perhaps?
shortcutter: (no one's gonna take me alive)

Even if they are working together, I doubt any of the seven would know something that important.

[He pauses.]

Once one of the VIPs is identified, instead of killing them right away, we could make them squeal. That's a risk they probably wouldn't want to take.
eventhandler: (on the cold shoulder of consequence)

[personal profile] eventhandler 2014-09-23 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
That would be a good strategy, except...well, wouldn't the person who runs this game have thought of that? If we try to interrogate the VIP, they could simply kill them before we do so, and that would be that...
shortcutter: (with a bit of luck)

[personal profile] shortcutter 2014-09-23 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think they would want to interfere with the course of the game so drastically.

[Another, slightly longer pause, while he thinks.]

But it's not like I can say that for sure. For now, there's no way of telling much any of that matters to them. Maybe they just want to see us squirm.

Perhaps. At the moment, we only have guesses as to their intentions for this bizarre "game" of theirs...

Hopefully we will figure a way out before anything drastic happens.
