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.]

Shouldn't a journalist know about the big attractions in Tokyo?

[ I'm not a journalist, but their stories follow popular trends, so that means city knowledge, right? ]

Gensokyo is rather isolated. We focus on local events in the area. If it's really that unbelievable... well, being kidnapped into a situation like this is rather unbelievable in the first place, right?
siggey: :( (why is this happening to me)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-22 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
That's completely unrelated.

[ I sigh, giving up. Aya really likes talking in circles around stuff she doesn't want to explain... ]

Anyway, what's the last thing you remember, before waking up here?
photoshot: (life begins at 40)

[ IT'S TRUE. flighty like a bird. ] I was out looking for stories, as usual. It seems like this is going be a big one.

You?
siggey: but does he actually make this face in-game (#main character)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-22 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
What.

So you were out for a scoop, and suddenly, you just woke up in the barracks?

[ I must look as skeptic as I sound I sure HOPE I look as skeptic as I sound! ]
photoshot: (gay woman comes out to cat)

[ he does, successfully. ] If you put it that way, it does sound incredible. We're all very impressed with our captors' abilities here.

That's...

...

[...

I give up.

I'm just gonna rub my face with one hand and not ask her about it any more,]


I was trying to start my car when I got gassed and passed out. By some person in a dark cloak wearing a gas mask...
photoshot: (world's largest metaphor hits ice-berg)

[personal profile] photoshot 2014-09-22 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ aand she yanks out a notebook and pen to take notes, hmmm-- ]

What exactly is a gask mask? [ <-- FROM FEUDAL AGES. admittedly with cameras and other inconsistencies but lol, technology. ]
siggey: :( (why is this happening to me)

[personal profile] siggey 2014-09-22 07:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...You really don't know what a gas mask is, either?

[ Does she live in the boondocks, or from a few hundred years earlier?! ]
photoshot: (experimental band theoretically good)

[personal profile] photoshot 2014-09-22 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm guessing that it's a mask that emits some kind of pungent scent?

Nope, but good try. It actually does the opposite. It prevents you from inhaling noxious and dangerous gas.
