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! 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!

candy shop!

[mediumburgers]

[ Maya may also be idly sticking some candy in her clothes... The shop will soon be empty between all of them "stocking up" from it.

Aw, a cute kid with a stuffed rabbit! She assumes he's probably just a little older than her cousin Pearly, and several inches shorter than Maya. She's not using a baby voice, but her tone implies she's sorting you into the kid category, Honey. ]

Hi there! That's a cute rabbit you have there. You know, there's some real rabbits over by the mascot house.

[ pause ]

Um, though, you shouldn't give real rabbits candy, probably.

[cakelover]

[ Someday she will check his profile and be shocked. And of course he doesn't mind that - most people sort him there. ]

Eh?! There are? I didn't see them! Can we pet them, do you know?

[ Wow he's easily pleased... ]

[mediumburgers]

[ "He's only a year younger than me?? WHAT???" is what her reaction will be. ]

Uh-huh! There's a bunch of baby bunnies, even. I'd think we can. I haven't seen anyone around that seems to actually work here say what we can and can't do, anyway.

[ The weirdo checking out the buns earlier clearly doesn't, she's mostly sure. Only mostly, though. ]

[cakelover]

Then let's go there right away! Ah...I didn't get your name.

[ A little bow. ]

I'm Mitsukuni Haninozuka...but most people call me Honey.

[mediumburgers]

[ Oh no he just keeps getting cuter how is this possible. ]

All right! I'm Maya Fey. Most people call me Maya. It's nice to meet you, Honey! [ She'll give a bow of her head in return.

And then they presumably start walking towards where the bunnies are. ]

[cakelover]

[ YES BUNNIES AWAY WE GO ]

It's nice to meet you, too, Maya-chan!! Usa-chan is really, really excited to meet the other Usa-chans!

[mediumburgers]

[ BUNNIES > EVERYTHING ELSE ]

I bet! Has Usa-chan ever met any other Usa-chans before?

[cakelover]

Nope! This will be her first time!!

[ BUNNIES BUNNIES BUNNIES...let us skip, Maya! ]

[mediumburgers]

Aw, how sweet!

[ Maya cheerfully skips along WHY NOT...

At some point they likely reach the petting zoo where the buns are. ]

[cakelover]

[ RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE TBH............... ]

Usa-chaaaaaaaaaans!

[mediumburgers]

[ ENJOY YOUR BUNS, HONEY

Maya will probably just stand here going AWWWWW while he looks at the buns. ]
