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.

[What was that all about?]

...Wait?

[perfectstrike]

Yes?

[What a super-awkward high school girl. She crosses her arms and stares at him again.

Jeez those red eyes of hers are intense.]

[murimurimuri]

[He wilts under that stare.]

Erm. Was there... something you wanted?

[perfectstrike]

...

You... have a monkey.

[She's just staring up at it. Hello furry friend. Hello.]

He looks... very soft...

[murimurimuri]

Oh. Yeah, he's pretty soft.

[An awkward pause.]

He doesn't bite or anything...

[perfectstrike]

...Animals are terrified of my presence.

I cannot.

[murimurimuri]

Money's a circus monkey. He's not even afraid of tigers—not that you're a tiger!

[perfectstrike]

Is that... so?

Tigers are truly ferocious, it is true...

[Oh my god Peko, just ask to pet the monkey.]

You are the one who has trained him?

[murimurimuri]

Yes, kind of. I mean, I'm not his first trainer, but I'm training him now.

[Aaawkward pause.]

Money, say hello?

[The monkey waves.]

[perfectstrike]

[Holy shit Money waved at her. The monkey waved.

Peko stands stock-still for a moment before tentatively raising a hand. And waving back.]

H-hello...

[murimurimuri]

You can come shake his hand—

[Money pilots Simon by the hair, lifting his hand up for a shake.]

Cut it out, Money! Use your own hand!

[perfectstrike]

Ah...

[She holds her hand out, but doesn't quite take Simon's. She's not entirely sure what to do in this kind of situation.]

He is very clever.
