day zero - afternoon

dreamland day zero 42 players remaining. [Once the announcements are over, there's no further response from the voice over the intercom. The afternoon wears on, demanding nothing more of you. The park will remain open until late in the evening, when the fireworks go off, but you can always go back earlier. In fact, it might be wise to gather your fellow players and discuss what you've learned in the mess hall.] rulebook character statuses private conversations This is a mingle following the plot revelations yesterday! Characters can gather in the mess hall and discuss what they've learned and make plans. Night will go up at the same time, and this post will be backdated.

[Wow, and here he thought they were meeting eye to eye!! His expression twists into a frown--briefly before he's smiling again.]

It's not about wishing death, it's about working together, right? She's just working to take the target off our backs.

[perfectstrike]

In a manner of speaking...

As long as she is prepared to become the target she is making herself out to be.

[obeytherod]

If she isn't, it's her own fault for not weighting the risks.

[perfectstrike]

This is true.

And you are?

[obeytherod]

I'm not the one volunteering to be leader, now am I?

[perfectstrike]

[Kuzuryuu-like asshole detected!!]

I meant your name.

[obeytherod]

[Don't get a weird crush on him, Peko.]

Malik Ishtar. [He seems a little irked at the misunderstanding, but he's not going to bring that up.]

[perfectstrike]

[Too much beef.]

Ishtar?

[Just a second. She's pulling up his profile.]

It says one of your skills is leadership.

[Pointed stare.]

[obeytherod]

[You can't handle the beef.]

Does it now? [It wasn't really a question; he knew and he's returning with a flat stare of his own.]

But I don't remember it saying I was suicidal, so I guess I'm not qualified.

[perfectstrike]

Smart.

Perhaps that is why it is listed as one of your skills.

[Is. Is that a compliment...]

[obeytherod]

Oh? [He's starting to like you, Peko.]

Well, hopefully no-one tries to nominate me for it. I think this "one leader" idea is going to go down in smoke. What we should be doing is breaking up into groups.

[perfectstrike]

Perhaps. Yet, keep in mind that there are seven people that we are aware of. If these VIPs are possessed of any intelligence at all, they will make sure to put at least one person in each group. Make the groups too large, and they become a danger. Make them too small, and it negates the point of having a group.

[obeytherod]

We could just stick to who's assigned to each barrack. There's only 6 of those, so it doesn't look like it was planned to have a VIP to a barrack.

For all we know, all 7 of them might be in the same one.
