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!

Yeah. Scripts, actors, sets, music, the whole deal, but it's on a screen and they put it on VHS to watch over and over again so you can basically watch it anywhere, anytime.

[THIS SOUNDS LIKE MAGIC.]

Anywhere? Anytime at all? How does that work? Don't the actors get tired...?

[fanbase]

[ She is seriously mindblown... this guy hasn't even seen a music video!? What a sad existence he must lead. ]

No, they film it on camera. Then it's on a reel, which gets duplicated and played in movie theaters before they get put out on video.

[Teach him the ways of modern music, Clash...]

They can do all of that with a camera? That's incredible! I've never heard of a camera that can do things like that!

[fanbase]

It's called a video camera, it comes in all different sizes and everything depending on what you wanna film.

My dad bought me one recently so I could do music videos for my band, it sucks that I don't have it here. I could show you how it works.

[harepiece]

I'd like to see it when we get out of here then, if that's possible! And if you don't mind...

[HE WANTS TO SEE THE THING. He also totally believes that they'll be able to bust free in no time...]

[fanbase]

You kidding me? I'm the best person ever to introduce you to it! I'll even show you some of my own work.

[HE IS SO DOWN WITH THIS look at how excited he is!!]

I'd really like that! I've never really been able to have a good look at cameras or anything, so being able to see a moving picture - I'm looking forward to it. Thank you!
