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.]

I have not. Is it European?

[It definitely doesn't sound like anything in Japan! Maybe he's from a little weird country like her own Super High School Level Princess. Who knows.]

What is your name?

[That earns her a baffled look and he shakes his head.]

I haven't heard of that before. [oh AU realities, you're so great.]

—But my name is Oz! It's nice to meet you, miss...?

Pekoyama.

[Staring intensifies.]

You haven't heard of Europe, either?
harepiece: (oh.....)

I haven't... Is that a country?

[HE FEELS PREEMPTIVELY JUDGED.]
perfectstrike: (500% done)

A continent, actually.

[STILL FROWNING.]

Perhaps you know it by another name, in your language.

[Though the bracelets are translating everything so??? She's confused.]

[which Oz will helpfully point out!!]

I think that we can all understand each other right now, though, so we would be talking about the same thing even if we used different words, right?
