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!

[ She actually isn't...she totally believes she has plot amnesia and he has to have it, too. Basically, she talks in tropes sometimes... ]

Ibuki's the Super High School Level Light Music Club Member!

[jingler]

"Super High School Level"? That sounds very prestigious. Is it a title for honor students in your school?

[That's what it sounds like, though he has no idea what a Light Music Club is (other than it being a music club obviously.)]

[poyoyon]

Yeeeep! Ibuki goes to a school where you have to be invited! To go there, you have to be the top of your field, whatever it is, and you get your title when you enter - that is, Ibuki's the top off that field! Ehhhh, some of her classmates seem to be around, too, with different SHSL titles.

[ photographer, animal breeder, yakuza, swordswoman... ]

[jingler]

Oh, so you arrived here with a group from your school? How interesting.

[So some people have been kidnapped in groups, as opposed to singles. An interesting way to go about it.]

Well your school sounds very prestigious. I suppose this means you are considered to be a professional musician then. What sort of music do you play?

[poyoyon]

Ibuki can't really remember, but her friends are definitely here...! Some of them, at least!

[ HORRIFYING MUSIC NEVER LET HER PLAY FOR YOU ]

Ibuki hasn't picked a new genre, but she likes punk and rock!

[jingler]

Punk and rock? Aren't those two genres fairly similar already, or is that disingenuous to say?

[He really has no idea but they sound like they'd be similar.]

[poyoyon]

Similar but different!!! Every genre is important in the land of music! Even ukelele! Even hibachi!

[jingler]

Ah, I see. I don't even know what a hibachi is. What kind of instrument is it, Ibuki?

[poyoyon]

Nope, it's a way to cook food!!

[jingler]

Oh, so you play it either way? Like how someone might bang on pots and pans as though they were drums.
