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.

That might be the case, but... Everyone seemed so surprised, and I don't think anyone was lying. That means that the people who brought us here would also have to convince them to kill. I don't think that's going to be easy.

[He wants to say that it would be impossible, but not even Oz the king of optimism is that optimistic.]

[chainjailer]

Most people would be surprised, but the fact is we don't know anyone here well enough to truly say "they could never be convinced to kill". For now, no one is beyond the possibility.

Not me, and not you. That said, we still have to find a way to work together without letting paranoia destroy us.

[stop logic-ing at him kurapika]

...Right. Right... "A happy medium", right? [He thinks he's heard the term somewhere before.] Anyway, I do agree that we should probably spread leadership out among all of us.

[chainjailer]

[Kurapika nods, maybe softening his tone just a bit since he's kind of crushing this guy's hope over here. But it's what has to be done--he doesn't want to see anybody die here.]

If we can all work together as a team, I think that would be best. After all, right now we vastly outnumber the VIPs, even if we count "buddies" as only one unit.

A natural rise to leadership might be better than a vote right now. Or maybe we can work in shifts, so to speak.

[Kurapika the Hope Crusher™. But Oz seems to realize that he's trying to be a little reassuring and he smiles accordingly, small and uncertain as it is.]

I think that both of those might work well. As long as it doesn't put any one person in too much danger...

[chainjailer]

[Yup, that's him, but he does it for good reason!]

Right, the key here is to not let any one person be more vulnerable than the others. It'll make choosing more difficult, and it might give us a chance to stop anything before it's too late.

Mm, Sheba was saying the same thing earlier. That's probably a good place to start...

[Preventative measures rather than post-disaster care and all.]

[chainjailer]

Right. Then I trust you to pass along that message--I'll be doing the same.

[There's a lot of people, it'll be faster if more people start spreading it.]

[harepiece]

I'll do that right now, then. Oh— Um, my name's Oz, by the way. Thanks for being so helpful.

[chainjailer]

[He nods, glad that Oz is cooperating.]

Kurapika. I hope we'll be able to meet again under better circumstances some day.

[harepiece]

[He tends to be a very cooperative guy!! Bless... But he'll nod again at that, and his smile is a little wry.]

I hope so, too. Um... Good luck, then! I guess I'll talk to you later. [SINCE THEY'RE ALL STUCK HERE.]

[chainjailer]

Right. You too.

[He'll be on his way, then.]
