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.

Ibuki will also pinky promise! A three-way promise!

[ NO MURDER ]

[photonement]

Ibuki-chan, no! Mabel-chan, no!

[Here with hands on her hips]

You had better not go for finger-cutting with him! [She looks to Kuzuryuu, tense - he was serious, at least about not doing this.]

[impheired]

The fuck? Do you really think I'd stoop so low as to cut a child's finger off??

[The bigger concern here is that he'd cut his OWN finger off and give it to her.........]

[Kuzuryuu, no...................]

[ineptus]

Finger-cutting? What does that have to do with anything?

[Seriously, nobody said anything about cutting themselves???]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki's also confused!

[ WHAT ]

[impheired]

Why are you confused? You should get what she's talking about.

[Taking advantage of the confusion to worm his way out of Mabel and Ibuki's grip, dusting himself off before addressing Mabel.]

Don't worry about it. It's customary where I'm from to cut off the pinky as an act of apology. I wouldn't hold someone like you to that though.

[Foreign child...]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki is always confused!

[ proudly........ ]

[impheired]

That's not something to be proud of, dumbass.

[poyoyon]

Eh?!! Really?!

[impheired]

Yes, really!! It's just gonna make people think you're stupid!

[poyoyon]

Oh! In that case, Ibuki is never lost!

[ OUTRIGHT LIES ]

[impheired]

[JUST...SIGHS.]

[Ibuki what is he going to do with you.]

[ineptus]

[She listens to the explanation, furrowing her brows.]

That seems a little excessive but...

[She pauses for only a moment before holding up her pink to him again, with as serious of a face as she can make.]

Well I won't be breaking this promise and neither will you, so we don't have to worry about that right? That's why you'd have to apologize right?

1/2

[impheired]

[Just kind of...taken aback by this. Damn kid, you've got balls.]

2/2

[impheired]

[But eventually he fixes her with a smirk and links his pinky with hers.]

You're either really brave or incredibly ignorant to do something like this with me. You're not half bad, kid.

[ineptus]

It's probably both! [Just grinning again, pleased with this pinky promise.]

Alright, now we are officially working together!

[...a pause.]

I'm Mabel, by the way! Mabel Pines!

[impheired]

[He actually laughs a little at that. He just kind of half-insulted you, Mabel, and here you are just accepting the good and the bad together.]

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu.

[ineptus]

[............give her a moment. She wants to try and get this right.]

Foo...Fooyou-hee-ko? Is that right?

[SHE'S A LITTLE FOREIGN GIRL. SHE'S TRYING. She's not attempting the last name. IBUKI WAS AN EASY NAME WHY DON'T YOU HAVE AN EASY NAME MISTER.]

[impheired]

Fu. Yu. Hi. Ko.

[He'll just...sound it out slowly for her. You can do it, Mabel...]

[Or you can decide that his name is ridiculous and stick him with a nickname instead.]

[ineptus]

[She purses her lips as he sounds it out, repeating him a few times until it sounds as close as she can get it to.]

...Can I give you a nickname? I could call you Hiko! I can definitely say Hiko without any problems!

[impheired]

Are you going to call me that regardless of what my answer is?

[YOU SEEM LIKE THE TYPE TO DO THAT, MABEL. NOT UNLIKE IBUKI OVER THERE.]

[ineptus]

Well Hiko is a really cute name and you're pretty cute yourself so I think it would fit!

[impheired]

N-Ngk!!! [He seems...angry at the use of that word. Putting it lightly. Not even remotely flustered, just pissed. Clearly he's sensitive about his looks.] Don't call me that!

[Don't...call you what, Kuzuryuu?]

[photonement]

You don't want me to answer that question.

[They're only, what, 50% older than her, anyway.]

Nobody needs to even hear that idea on top of all the hysteria going around about cutting off hands.

[impheired]

I wasn't even going to say anything about it!

[He was just...going to do it. In the event it needed to be done...]
