dreamland day six 22 players remaining. There are no clocks in your dorm room to help you mark the passing of time, but at a certain point, in the early hours of the morning, a cheerful chime tune plays over the loudspeaker. Whether you're awake or asleep, the door to your dorm room is now unlocked. You'll have about a forty five minutes, in which you can get ready or grab some breakfast, before the door that allows you into the park unlocks. By this time, you may or may not have noticed that one of your number is missing. The chimes play again, to announce that the park is open, and the rides and music begin to come back to life as a voice plays over the loudspeaker. "Good morning! Get up and get searching!" You will have until 4 PM to explore the park and talk amongst yourselves. Somewhere in the park, you'll find the bodies of Sigma and Kurapika. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on October 8.

Circus

[guestcontrol]

[The circus seems to be open today! You can go inside. Inside, you'll find a pretty paltry three ring circus. There are trapezes in the air, props, supplies for pyrotechnics. There are a few enormous cages containing animals - a lion and tiger, an old elephant, a grizzly bear. The animals are all dead; they look thin and sickly as though they had become ill, and they seem to have been dead and in the process of decomposing for some months now.

Stockpiled in the center of the room is a huge crate filled with what look like military weapons: explosives, machine guns, even small missiles. But if you approach the crate, your bracelet will beep.]

[godwhisperer]

[What the hell. This is so sad. Forget Kurapika and Sigma, this is the real tragedy.]

How...who allowed this to happen?

[belgian]

[This is pretty sad, even if she thinks the human deaths are sadder, probably because she's some kind of weirdo.]

Who would just leave the poor animals here like that?

[godwhisperer]

These animals...it is cruel to make them live in such a small cage. But to abandon them...

It's unspeakable! Why? I...I must away, before my mind is destroyed by this attack!

[belgian]

Maybe we can get them out and give them a proper burial? [She's not sure how, but hey, there's a bunch of weapons over there, apparently...] While you're recovering from the attack, I can see if I can get some of the others to help.

[godwhisperer]

A burial? Why? What purpose would that serve?

[belgian]

[Well, they wouldn't be sitting around in giant cages grossing people out, for one.] Burials are like memorials, so it might be nice to do it for the animals, too.

[godwhisperer]

That is a human notion. These are beasts. Beasts do not care what becomes of their bodies, or whether they are remembered or thought about in death. They care for the suffering they feel. And now their suffering is at an end...

There is nothing that can be done for them. Bury their corpses if you wish, for that's all they are. Corpses.

[belgian]

Do you think so? I guess you are the animal expert.

[uncoincidental]

[gross... dead animals... she should probably be more sympathetic but. ...gross, dead animals.]

...the people who brought us here, probably. [She's leaning to the side to look past Gundam into the circus tent. How did she get behind him so fast? Whooo knows.] Talk about twisted. They'd probably do the same thing to us if the killing didn't start on its own, huh...

[godwhisperer]

Their cruelty truly knows no bounds!

[Why...does he sound surprised. Is this really the worst thing they've done?]

[uncoincidental]

Makes you want to make them pay for it, huh?

[godwhisperer]

Yes. I can't forgive something like this.

Guh! I can see they are trying to break the impenetrable forcefield in my mind with this attack!

[uncoincidental]

["Impenetrable forcefield in my mind" sounds like a challenge and if Sheba's powers weren't stripped you I can guarantee you that she would be trying to read Gundam's mind right now but she can't so she's not. Sigh.]

You think they're hiding in the park somewhere? Maybe we can "accidentally" push them into the lake. [And leave them there to drown.]

[godwhisperer]

If I find them, I will do more than push them in a lake.

[harepiece]

[Oz will join him for his dead animal vigil... He still has room to be upset about animals even after being upset about people.]

...Did they just— lock this place up before they even abandoned the rest of the park? The animals in the petting zoo were still fine.

[godwhisperer]

It is possible. The petting zoo animals could have subsisted on food outside for a while.

[harepiece]

[His displeased look grows a little sharper, but he nods.]

That... would make sense. It seems like they've been here for a while, though. [The dead ones, he means.]

[ Oh no, the poor kitties... Once again, Missile really wishes that Sissel was here!! He could save everybody with those super neat ghost tricks of his! ]

[photoshot]

[ OH NO covering fellow critterbro's eyes. such carnage. ]

D-don't worry, we'll do our best to make sure you don't end up like that!

[paws_and_rewind]

[ That doesn't help much, the smell is the worrrrrst!!

He is pretty confident that nobody will allow him to starve! It's hard to tell under all that fluff, but he definitely hasn't lost any weight this week. ]

[photoshot]

[ more sausage for the sausage god.

... pinches his nose?? ]

[paws_and_rewind]

[ OWWWW YIP YIP YIP ]

[photoshot]

[ OK NVM LETTING GO sry dogbro...!! ]

[paws_and_rewind]

[ The circus tent might have a lot of small missiles in it, but THIS small Missile is going to leave it post-haste!! ]
