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!

1/?? im breaking it up so its not like ONE HUGE ASS TAG

[HECK YES mabel, you are the best partner a mystery hunter/detective/paranormal investigator could ever ask for.]

[He takes her hand and taps the pen to his chin for a second, before using his mouth to take the cap off and begins writing.]

Okay, so let's say we're somewhere only four hours away from us. That would only be possible if we were one of the last stops, or the last stop. We'd be traveling by plane, car, train or boat, but we can probably cross boats off of our list, because they travel like, really slow if they're not speed boats and we'd probably end up in the middle of the ocean.

[He pauses, before writing "(x) = mph" on her arm.]

If x, our variable, is equal to how many miles our mode of transportation travels, then we'd have to multiply it by how many hours we've traveled. [Writing some more. This time he's written a small list. "Car, Train, Plane." He flips her arm over and writes

"Car: (x) = 60, (x) = 70"]

I'm guessing we'd only be able to travel at the most 70 miles per hour by car.

Anyway if we were to multiply sixty by four, we'd have two-hundred and fourty. ["(x) x 4 = 240"]

That means we couldn't have traveled very far. We'd still be in Oregon, Idaho, or Nevada. ["(x) x 4 = 280"]

Even if we traveled two-hundred eighty miles, we'd still be only in Oregon, Idaho, or Nevada. [He stops for a second, placing a hand to his chin, getting ink on his cheek.]
