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.]

A.

[Almost as soon as everyone is allowed to leave their dorms, this person can be found barging out of his, bandages still around his head and arm. Even though he still seems a little unsteady on his feet, he's wandering around, though if he runs into anyone, he seems extremely startled by it.

Otherwise, he's rooting through the supplies, looking for something.]

B.

[Later, he can be found outside the mascot house, with his head inside the little rabbit hutch, scooping out baby rabbits. He seems to cursing under his breath and talking to himself.]

At last, after so long, I'm stirred again, only to find such a disastrous omen!

A; Mess Hall
[There's a lot to be concerned about right now, but it's no good to worry on an empty stomach, so Belgium's first move--after checking her cell phone, which has no signal--is to find a place where she can make some food.]

It's kind of utilitarian, huh? [She frowns at the large amount of canned goods and sparse amount of fresh ones.] Well, I'm sure I can whip up something good!

B; Carousel
[With food in her, Belgium is ready to start looking around. Being stuck in some creepy theme park is right out of a horror game, but it's best not to let it get to her--so instead she examines the carousel and its sad, frightened-looking horses.

She's not actually expecting it to still work, so when the off-key song starts to play and the horses start to spin around as she approaches, surprise shows obviously on her face.]

It still works! [She looks for signs of an operator, but it doesn't seem like anyone is there.]

( barracks )
[ When Patchouli wakes up, it's slow and with a crawl. She's much too used to feeling ill, to have her body be sluggish and dull, but this is new.

For one, she never had any memory problems. Her memory was flawless, perfect. What had been done to her? She raises a hand to the stitches on her head, groaning. Okay, so, someone had kidnapped her, stuck a tacky bracelet on her, dug around in her skull, and stitched her back up, for what purpose...?

...this was gonna be a long day. So you can find Patchouli numbly stumbling around the barracks, looking through the crowd and trying to spot someone in particular. Failing that, she roots around in the mess hall and first aid room. ]

( general western area+log fume ride )
[ Oh, look who's used to staying indoors all the time. And when she's not indoors, she's flying, not walking. Poor, sweet Patchouli is already out of breath after attempting to investigate for a mere hour. She would like to simply sit in the barracks and order someone to investigate for her, but hey, can she really trust any of them? It's not a very friend-making environment.

She pauses near the log fume, propping herself up on the side of it and panting heavily. ]

Damn...more walking...godforsaken beeping...

barracks area

[ The last thing she remembers - though it's hard to focus on it, and Ibuki can't be sure - is the diner. The boys talking about swimsuits - or Kazuichi talking about them, anyway - while they waited for everyone to arrive. That doesn't have anything to do with where she is, though. Ibuki's in a weird room with a crab on the wall, and a box of her things.

The loudspeaker voice makes her jump for one reason: that's not Monobear's voice.

What the hell? The bandages are abandoned, and the thing embedded in her wrist - well, her armwarmer covers it up, and after a second, she figures out how to get out, and makes it out into the general barracks area. ]

Ehhhhhhhhhh?! Chiaki-chan, Mikan-chan, Peko-chaaaaaan? Sonia-chan? Kazuichi-chan, Hajime-chan?

[ Anyone?! ]

Ibuki's normally lost, but this is taking it a little far! Why did the scenery change again?! Didn't we already do this trope?!

teacup ride

[ A new area means they split up and explore. Even if not everyone is here, and things are weird, that impulse is almost habit by now, even if they've only unlocked the first island and the second island. So Ibuki's been wandering around the park, if a little warily, but...

Hey, you know, this place has rides! She whirls to face whomever happens to be at hand. ]

Ohhhhhhh! Hey! Hey, you! Go on the teacups with Ibuki! Right now!

[ yes let's ride them THAT'S WHAT THE PRIORITY SHOULD BE RIGHT NOW ]

Edited 2014-09-21 06:33 (UTC)

A: Who likes rides??

[If you go around the carnival area, particularly where the working rides are, you may very well see someone preparing to go on one. A very large someone, who suspiciously looks like a giant robot in a red toga. Though he is keeping a good eye on his surroundings, knowing there are others here, so if he notices you he'll wave and his robot eyes will light - almost looking excited.]

Hello there! Would you like to come aboard this ride with me? Attractions such as these seem as though they would be more enjoyable with multiple people taking part in it at the same time.

B: Pleasant Street

[After taking part in the rides, it's time to enjoy the rest of the amusement park. He's never been to one (or rather he can't recall ever being to one) but so far the experience has been exciting.

He comes out one of the guest shops looking particularly silly however. There was a lot of memorabilia items inside, so he's now wear an XXL Dreamland shirt, a baseball cap that barely fits his head, and is holding a plastic flag with the park logo on it.]

I wonder if I'm enjoying this experience correctly. I feel as though I am...though I also feel rather foolish.

[He speaks mainly to himself, but he's pretty noticeable (moreso than usual) in all of that garb.]

C: General exploring

[Okay park experience time over, it's time to actually bunker down and figure out how he got here and why he's here. So he walks around the amusement park, stopping around every area he can. In particular any time his bracelet begins to beep he takes note of where the beeping occurs and notes the location in his mind, before moving on to the next place. He isn't quite certain what the beeping means, but he isn't feeling so adventurous that he wants to explore that just yet. Though he has noticed that the AB Game Bracelet he had on before is now replaced with a brand new bracelet. Which means this may not be one of Zero's games. Interesting.

Regardless if he sees someone he'll walk up to them and try to get their attention, if his presence alone is not enough and begin to speak.]

Pardon me, but can I ask for your name? I think it is best that we all become acquainted if we are to be staying here for what may be a foreseeable future.

A - the first aid station

[ A child(?) in a bizarre outfit consisting of a long purple cloak and a lavender leotard is in this room attending to the wound on his head, wiping it with an antiseptic. When he hears someone come in, however, he drops the cloth and immediately pulls his mask back down over his eyes before assuming a somewhat defensive posture. ]

B - pleasant street, costume shop

[ The strangely dressed child is scouring through the store, going through the racks of costumes and props and tossing certain items- among them pirate boots, a blonde wig, and a princess dress- into a small pile on the ground. Eventually he makes his way out of the store, his arms laden with stolen loot. Someone should probably say something. ]

a, barracks

[ Francis has taken the time to remove his bandages and search through the small box of what appear to be his personal items, but can no longer bear the claustrophobic room. He ends up pacing all through the barracks, smoking from a pack of cigarettes that he received in his box. There are certain times when he stops, though, to flick through his identification bracelet. He appears to be stopped on his own profile. ]

Oh, God. Oh, God. This picture is awful. [ This seems to distress him the most. ]

b, first aid

[ It's a relief when he comes across the first aid room, expects answers to come in the form of medical charts or doctors, but what he gets is an empty, sparsely stocked room. He then does what any smart man would do: starts loading up on the medical supplies, with attention to the antibiotics and painkillers. ]

A) Barracks
[Oz doesn't need quite as much time as most to "process" (or at least accept) a truly bizarre situation, so it isn't long after the mental fuzziness fades away that he's up and poking around at things in the area - and on his person, since the stitches and bracelet are definitely new additions.

But he has his Concerned Moment in silence, and by the time others can spot him in the morning, he appears to be distracted with a much smaller issue. That is, using his bracelet to open and close the door to his room in Elephant dorm over and over, or uselessly tapping at the door of a dorm he doesn't belong to because he can't get the magic door-open-y thing to work there.

For a person from ye olden times, these doors are pretty legit, okay...]

B) Teacups
[Eventually, Oz will make his way over to the spinning cups, since the sight is at least a little familiar. Not... not the giant size of them, but teacups in general - more familiar than the creepy animals or weird, broken down rides, anyway.

Except he doesn't really understand the point of these either, so after wandering around the ride in a wide, curious circle, he'll stop and speak to the nearest person.]

Do you know— Are you supposed to sit in these? [????]

C) Lake
[Toward the latter half of the day, Oz can be found crouching down near the edge of the lake water, too cautious to set foot in one of the rickety-looking boats or risk a dip in the water.

He will, however, be tipping little stones into it to see if anything but muck lies beneath the algae cover.]

That explains the sign... [The sign in the kitchen warning against drinking water elsewhere in the park, that is.]

barracks, locked to takashi

[ Honey's actually worried, for once. Being kidnapped is one thing: he could understand why that might happen (if not how, since of all people to kidnap, he should be a little difficult...) but the clear signs of his head being cut into...the device implanted onto his wrist? These things are actually legitimately scary and real. His stuffed rabbit was in the box of things from home, and clutching Usa-chan to his chest makes him feel a little better, but this doesn't seem like something that's going to make sense easily.

All the same, the worried look eases into something more relaxed after he's gotten out of his own room and barracks. Because after he's out of Kitten's barracks, Honey spots a familiar figure. And if he's not alone, it's all right - or at least more acceptable. ]

Takashi! [ That's all the warning his cousin gets before Honey launches himself at Mori's back, clinging. Really, it's probably all the warning he needs. ] Usa-chan and I were getting really worried, you know?!

pleasant street candy shop, ota

[ A little while later, the short blonde can be found in the candy shop, poking around. Or, well. Sticking some of the candies in his pockets, may as well stock up!!!

Since he has no idea when they'll be restocked... ]

Usa-chan, what kind do you want? [ Why yes he is talking to his stuffed rabbit why do you ask ]

near the fence, ota

[ And a while after that, Honey gets close enough the fence to start his bracelet beeping, after which he jumps back quickly, eyeing it with trepidation. ]

Maaaa...getting over that fence is one thing, but that makes it seem like a bad idea, ne?

[ Go figure. Although is he implying getting over that fence would be easy, even though it looks almost impossible? ]

A: BARRACKS

[ Of things that Maya Fey expected when she woke up, being in some strange room with a giant hamster on the wall (a deranged hamster at that), bandages on her head, a bracelet embedded in her wrist, somewhere in a "park" didn't make her list. I've been kidnapped again, not an unreasonable assessment since uh well. She sure doesn't remember coming here, that's for sure (and uuuugh her head hurts trying to think on it, this is lame).

But by who and why? Last she remembers is after Nick got that masked guy acquitted of murder... and got the urn back... and... everything else is vaguely blank. Hopefully Nick isn't being blackmailed into defending a murderer again.

Figuring out the door takes a moment, but she's quickly outside. She's already yanked off the bandages (she didn't bleed so hey she must be fine!!) and looks as confused as, well, everyone else. ]

Nick? Pearly?

[ Who are you people what is happening this is way weirder than her last kidnapping ]

B: CARNIVAL

[ A bit after the initial "what the fuck" of waking up here, Maya starts exploring the park. Mostly she can be found in the carnival area, playing the machines and eating hotdogs, because surely the creepy park's food is 100% trustworthy. This is totally how to find a way out guys, she's nailed it. ]

This food isn't that great... I wonder who made it? [ As she eats it... ]

C: CHOOSE YOUR OWN

[ A solid chuck of the day is spent wandering around, so feel free to find her just about anywhere. Occasionally she pulls out a cell phone, searching for reception with zero luck. Maybe she needs a better wireless plan.

Sometimes she'll also kneel on the ground with her eyes closed like she's trying to do something, and stay there for at least a few minutes while nothing happens. ]

park entrance

[The wakeup, amnesia and strange announcement had Yuya pretty spooked, but after pulling his goggles on over his eyes and running out of that creepy barracks, he's found his way to the train station. The cheery amusement park setting is a bit more his element, but it's in ruins, so not by much. This is still so confusing. His hand closes around the pendulum hanging from his neck, and he lifts it up to watch it swing. Swing, pendulum - more, wider! Maybe he's asking it what to do or where to go. Whatever it is, it doesn't seem like it's coming to him just yet.]

petting zoo

[Yuya's just discovered the animals! And now he's fretting over them slightly as the goat casually tries to eat his school uniform.]

Man, if mom was here she'd wanna take all of you home... h-hey stop!

[suddenly yelling because the goat managed to shake out some of his cards to eat those. He'll duck down to scoop them up - at least his reflexes are fast.]

I'll bring you a snack later, just spare my deck!!

circus tent

[Now this is more like it! Yuya squints a bit at the caution tape, but this place is so dilapidated and there's no one around, maybe it doesn't mean anything anymore. He'll tentatively attempt to cross it, until his bracelet starts beeping furiously. Gasping, his other hand flies toward it, digging slightly at the spot where it's embedded into his flesh. Of course that doesn't accomplish anything but mild discomfort, so he reluctantly backs off and gives up.]

Aww man... why? What the heck is this thing?

Edited 2014-09-21 08:29 (UTC)

( barracks )
Wow, these are some awful stitches. If these people were gonna crack open my head, they could have at least made it look better...!

[ And those are the first words out of Nui's mouth as she strides out of the barracks, toting a pink parasol over her shoulder. ]

What kind of crappy off-brand amusement park is this, anyway? This mascot isn't a kitten, it's a creepy-looking crab!

( roller coaster/teacups/various other dangerous rides )
[ LOOK WHO HAS ABSOLUTELY NO REGARD FOR HER NEWFOUND HUMAN FRAGILITY, THIS GIRL! She is taking a jaunt on virtually all of the park's open rides, rickety and rotting or not. ]

These aren't half-baaaaaaaaad!

[ Having the time of her life, here. She may have important business to get back to at home, but seeing as there are no visible exits and she's without her main weapon, she figures she might as well kick back before shit goes down. In a place like this, it's almost inevitable that shit would go down. In the mean time, she'll treat this like any other amusement park, hopping around with her parasol like an excited child. ]

A.

[He's one of the slower to leave the actual barracks. Feeling groggy and tired as he is, it's hard to get himself to wake up until he suddenly becomes aware of circumstances. Still, even after that, he takes the time to very carefully go over every inch of the room for anything out of the ordinary, to examine the small box of possessions, and to examine the wounds. They're real, so that probably rules out any benign explanations.

It all comes together to one incredibly ugly picture, so despite his head throbbing putting him in a vile mood, he finds it necessary to remain composed. Immediate action is to wait outside his room and observe as much as he can, but seeing someone pass bye:]

One moment, please.

B.

[Later, in the park, he can be found near the outskirts or any high points. He's checking the reception on his cell phone; nothing, which doesn't seem to come as a surprise.]

Mess Hall;
[Right, wake up with a throbbing headache, fuzzy memories, no idea where she is or where she got there - this isn't suspicious at all.]

[Anyway, she needs information, so the first thing she does after getting into a public place, is take a deep breath, then scream at the top of her lungs:]

KYAAAAAAAAH! Somebody, help me!

Carnival;
[After that initial cry for attention, Anise has made her way around and located the closest possible attraction to gambling. Some kind of game. But why play if she can get someone else to? She turns to the nearest person with a hopeful look}

Hey, hey, won't you try to win something for cute little me? ♥ It'd be a great pick me up~

Ferris Wheel;
[Of course the stupid thing doesn't work! How is she supposed to get up there and get a good view?]

[She starts clambering up into one of the seats, with the aim to reach another and get higher]

[It's not exactly a great plan]

Barracks:

[Kaoru's tense from the moment he steps out of his room. He's already discovered the strange scar on his head and the even more alarming bracelet embedded in his wrist—both terrifying on their own—but he has much more pressing concerns. He moves from one room to the next, knocking and calling out in desperate tones]

Hikaru! Hikaru, are you here?

Outside

[When he can't find his brother in the barracks he turns his attentions to the rest of the park, hurrying anxiously from one area to the next looking for him.]

[various locations, petting zoo]

[ Missile has one mission in life right now: FIND HIS PEOPLE. He can't find any trace of Miss Kamila and Miss Lynne where all the people are, but that doesn't mean that they aren't where all the people aren't! Throughout most of the day, he can be found trotting around the park, particularly any place with tunnels.

...Right up until he finds a place with living things moving around, which prove not to be people. What are those really fluffy... animals...? Missile is a city dog born and bred and does not know the difference between a sheep and a fat poodle, although he's in the process of finding out via the magic of barking. Come on you, why are you going away, that was a friendly bark. ]

[carnival]

[ A little dog can only go so far without breakfast happening. Or is it dinner by now? Those long sizzling things smell really good, but... jumping up on tables is bad.

But... is it really bad if nobody sees him do it? And even being scolded would be worth getting something to eat! He's gonna do it. He's gonna jump for it!

...Not with those short legs he's not. Missile bounces fruitlessly off the table, picks himself back up with nary a grumble, and paces back to get a good running start. Long meaty things are calling. He's not giving up. ]

Hamsters
[Tamaki is usually such a morning person, but today he is practically crawling out of bed, groaning and clutching his head. Is this how Kyouya feels every day? How awful. And as he leaves his room, it dawns on him how dire the situation truly is. This is not his fabulous bed, nor his fabulous mansion. This is not fabulous at all.]

Hello...?

Wherever else

[Normally Tamaki would be all over this campy commoner's park, but normally he hasn't been drugged and kidnapped, so there you go. Even Tamaki's not having much fun right now. He's out searching for escape routes and friendly faces.]

OURANS!!111

[It's never too early for that inevitable private post! Look, look! Your daddy has made it!]

A Around the working rides

[So despite the headache and the scar and the bracelet imbedded in her wrist and the fact that this place doesn't look 100% safe, this little girl certainly does not look out of place in a giant amusement park. Her face is alight with excitement as she bounces around, flitting from this ride to that attraction, asking if anyone's home and looking for attendants.

You might find her on her toes, peeking into places that look closed down, or maybe considering one of the rides that actually look like they're working. When she spots people passing by, however, she is quick to chase them down.]

Hey! Have you seen any ticket vendors around? There are lots of rides just waiting for me to throw up all over them, but you can't really get through without tickets! Or is this bracelet thing like a dizzy pass?

B Wandering the park

[After riding all of the rides, she took to the food court area because what's better than greasy, sugary foods at a place like this? So in the afternoon, you'll find her wandering the park, looking at everything, arms and face full of cotton candy and ice cream and just about any other sweet treat she could find. She'll even be kind enough to offer you some if you want!]

C Back by the barracks

[Okay maybe trying to go on so many rides and then consuming so much sugar wasn't such a good idea. Her head is killing her now and she has to just sit down for a while, despite the fact she's still got a bunch of energy to spare.

...So instead of harrassing passer-bys about the rides, she'll harrass them about other things.]

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

[If you didn't catch that because she said that as fast as you are most certainly supposed to, she'll gladly repeat herself.]

a. mess hall

[ It takes him awhile to finally leave his room but once he does, it's to search for what fortunately appears to be the cafeteria. Poking around in the box of his personal items had been incredibly underwhelming, missing most notably a flask, and a drink would be perfect right now. Already uneasy, he shifts very quickly to frustrated once an initial search turns up nothing stronger than instant coffee.

A plastic jar of instant coffee which he is staring at very furiously. Very silently. Very forlornly. ]

b. pleasant street / costume shop

[ Reluctant to examine the rides too closely, Pleasant Street almost looks pleasant, desolate and meager in a way that could have been charming in a postcard, maybe. He can be found wandering into all the less empty shops and peeking into some of the more questionably barren ones, lingering outside the candy shop (with an unreasonable craving for ice cream; which seems unlikely to be served) but spending most time inside the costume shop. Morbid curiosity, maybe, has him lifting up princess veils and devil horns until a clown mask falls to the floor across the room and he nearly jumps out of his skin, slamming his hand in surprise against a spinning rack of tacky glasses, making more noise in the process. ] Oh, Jesus Christ.

Wandering around

[Or should I say sneaking around? This guy with the cute monkey riding on his head is trying not to be spotted as he explores the park. But he's not very good at it, probably because he has a monkey on his head.]

The petting zoo

[Did the petting zoo always have a monkey? It looks a lot healthier than the other critters around here. It's climbing on the bunny hutches while Simon pets a goat.]

a.) The Central Area.

[Waking up with a throbbing headache, in a place Dipper wasn't familiar with was definitely the last thing the boy wanted, and once he realized the situation, he started to panic. He looked around the room for any clues or indications of what happened, and he found a box. He opened it and immediately he snatched his hat and vest, placing the cap on his head and slipping his vest on almost simultaneously. He takes his journal and pocket-sized blacklight and puts them under his vest and after a few more minutes of fumbling around the room, he finally figures out how to unlock his door and goes about his way.

Once he was outside, he starts wandering around the central area of the amusement park, making mental notes as he passes by the few attractions. And if he happens to walk by someone, he approaches them with a few questions in mind.]

Um, hi. Have you seen a girl who looks almost exactly like me, but with long brown hair and braces? She should be wearing a goofy sweater, headband and skirt, and her name is Mabel Pines... [He figures if he was in a place like this with no memory of how he got here or anything, his twin was most likely here herself. It's just kind of a weird thing he'd expect to happen to the two... sort of.]

b.) Eastern area, with the metal cage ride(?)

[After a little while, after the twins finally reunited, they split up knowing they'd most likely be alright on their own. Mabel, leaving to go check out more of the rides while Dipper explored and tried to make more sense of the situation. He wanted to figure out where they were, and why they were there. It was a mystery just begging to be solved!

And upon his investigations he came across this... ride.... thing... though it looked more like a metal death trap than a ride for kids and adults of all ages. He stood in front of it, a hand placed to his chin, as he tried thinking of what the purpose of it even was.

He was going to spend quite some time here, if you'd like to bug him and inquire about what these cages were for.]

c.) Wherever you'd like!

[If none of the options above are interesting prompts, don't worry because Dipper will be wandering around the entire place as he conducts his small investigation! So your character could bump into him inspecting rides or food or anything really.]

A: WALKING AROUND

[Don't look now, but there's a zombie wandering around.]

[...Oh wait, it's not a zombie. Of course, he might look like one, what with the vacant look on his face, the circles under his eyes, and the way he slowly wanders everywhere, hands loose at his sides, but Royce Bracket is not a zombie.]

[Don't mind him, he'll just approach you if he sees you're doing nothing - his voice is hardly what you would expect coming out of him. It's frail, weary, and sounds like it'll devolve into incoherent mumbling any minute.]

Can you...do you know where I can find more cigarettes? I don't...I don't have enough...

B: PETTING ZOO

[The scent of tobacco greets you if you wander near this area - Royce has already lit up a cigarette and is standing near the hutch, staring at the animals as if he's trying to mentally dissect them.]

[You might think you are sneaking up on him, but suddenly he turns around, his deer-eyed stare now directed at you - he gestures vaguely to the petting zoo hutch with a frown.]

What's the point of this...?

C: PLEASANT STREET

[It might not be chalk, but this whitish rock Royce found is just as good. He's scribbled out what looks to be a series mathematical equations around him on the street using it, and for now, he just stands and stares at his scribbles, puffing on his cigarette and murmuring numbers under his breath. Because clearly, being in an amusement park is all about having fun with numbers.]

[ WHEREVER YOU ARE, you're not alone. it's not immediately apparent, however, until a black-haired girl with a camera pops up in front of you suddenly and snaps a shot of your startled face. complete with flash. momentary blinding, joy. ]

Make a face!

--Ah, that's a good one.

A. Barracks -- Locked to Kuzuryuu
[Her she is. It Peko, standing outside her room and rubbing her head. The bandages are shoved into one of her skirt pockets, leaving the scar exposed. She doesn't look alarmed, exactly -- just puzzled, intense red eyes darting from door to door, trying to make sense of her situation. This isn't the island. This isn't remotely tropical.

It's hard to tell from her face, but her breathing is starting to pick up with a faint panic. The last thing she can remember is taking her sword to a certain person. What happened after that??

B. Mess Hall
[Watch... your step. A young woman sporting a dark blue cloth bag, about the size and length of a sword, but clearly empty, is busily sorting through the various rations available, trying to organize them or at least make an inventory. Some things she's started to pile to the side in an attempt to make them easier to find -- canned beans, dried rice -- and eventually stands back with her hands on her hips to murmur a quiet,] I see...

C. Choose your own!
[Peko is exploring everything and taking mental notes on it all, and how much of a potential threat it poses. Feel free to approach! Don't... sneak up on her, though...]

A: Barracks, Bee
[The unfortunate occupants of Bee Room will be treated to a finger pointed into their faces the moment they wake up.]

This is unacceptable!

Is one of you responsible for this?! Kidnap is the most cowardly of all schemes - I can scarcely believe I've fallen a victim. If you have a grievance against me, then face me head-on; I won't deny you your challenge!

B: House of Horrors
[Scene switch! Edea's tirade continues unabated as she casually attacks cardboard cutouts of ghosts while talking to herself.]

Look, I'm on an important quest to restore balance to the world. You just don't understand the situation. Without me, Ringabel will spend the entire time ogling girls, and Tiz and Agnes are too woolly to bring him back to attention! The Crystals will never be restored, and it will all be Ringabel's fault! Is that what you really want?

C: Mess Hall
[And final scene switch as Edea sulks in the mess hall literally chomping down on sugar sprinkled on top of an apple.]

This clockwork mechanical horrorland is ridiculous, anyway. You could at least kidnap me somewhere with a proper pantry.

[At last, she finishes her day-long grumbling with a huff.]

...And this is so gross. It's the grossest thing ever eeeeeeeeeugggh.

[She shakes her wrist with the bracelet on it and tries not to look at it.]

Mrgrgr... Whatever. ...Party Chats aren't any fun when it's just me talking to myself.
