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!

But what if you're right? Even if knowing that may not be much, it's still a start, isn't it?

[This is probably the most contrary insistence that Oz has shown since waking...]

[godwhisperer]

...Yes, all right.

[A straightforward answer??]

Prior to coming here, my classmates and I were taken to an island. There, an abomination shaped as a bear and a mockery of a rabbit did contrive to tempt us into killing one another.

[He knew this guy was sensible and reliable!! Anyone who likes rabbits clearly is...

There is also no question on his end about what the hell Gundam's talking about when he mentions animal-shaped abominations.]

Hm... Are you worried that the same thing might happen here, then? That the ones who brought us here will try the same thing?

[godwhisperer]

That captor is not one to simply allow us to leave with not a repercussion.

Yet...he also could not resist showing himself, I think.

[harepiece]

Do you think we should wait until then? I'm not sure it's a good idea... Some people have been working on finding a way to leave, but I think that going near the fence might be dangerous.

[He glances down at his arm while talking, where the little rabbit has made itself at home and seems to be dozing. If they're gonna find a way out, it's going to have to be animal friendly...]
