WKND0 MINGLE

Rise and shine!

Maybe the last thing you remember is back home, whatever "home" is for you. Or maybe it was in a world between worlds, as you left to go home. Either way, when you open your eyes, you're no longer in either of the above. Whoa... talk about déjà vu. Haven't you been through this whole "wake up in a mysterious place" song and dance before? (For those of you who don't have potential memory problems, that is.)

And just like last time, you're not alone. Dozens of other (live) bodies are scattered around you, coming to their senses just as you are. Hey, some of them might even be familiar to you...

Where are we?

GENERAL

You're in a spacious but dingy windowless room with metal sheet walls, dull concrete floors, and paneled ceilings with visible vents and piping that appears to go nowhere at all. It’s quiet enough that footsteps and voices echo, and the only light comes from the fluorescent lighting hanging from the ceiling. The ceiling panels drip a little, leaving suspicious murky puddles of water pooling on the ground. On the wall are spray painted construction marks and certain parts of the room are covered with dusty tarps.

While this is an open room with a lot of empty space, a part of it taken up by the enormous statue that seems to be being stored here, partially covered in dusty tarps, right in the middle of the place. It is of a blue horse in mid-gallop, and the horse’s head and prancing hooves reach all the way to the tall ceilings. It has an evil energy.

...Well, at least there are rows of connected chairs with peeling leather set up throughout the room for your comfort. There are a few vending machines around. They aren’t exactly working, but if you shake them a drink or a snack may fall out.

Towards the south end of the place is a customer service desk! While the room is currently unmanned, there is a phone available for you to dial the customer service hotline. You’re going to be on hold for a long time, but the hold music is surprisingly catchy and occasionally a recorded voice tells you that your call is very important and a customer service representative will be assisting you shortly.

BAGGAGE CLAIM

In the center-ish of the space is a simple baggage claim. The belt moves rather erratically and in random bursts, sometimes forwards, sometimes backwards. Every so often, you can see luggage jostling by on it. One of them is yours—it has your name on it! Gods know when it's finally going to come by, but once you get a hold on it, it contains: two items familiar to you (one from your world, another from your last rodeo), a phone, a passport, and lastly, a coupon labeled "CONGRATULATIONS: BUY ONE GET ONE FREE."

Should you turn on the phone, you'll find that you have no signal, making the camera, flashlight, passport directory, and memo app the only working functions of value. Yes, that's right, there's a digital copy of everyone's passport for you to flip through on your phone. Nosey. However, the device does have one notification, already saved.

BATHROOMS & SHOWERS

You were wondering, weren't you? A fluorescent bathroom sign hangs in one dim back corner. Inside are rows of metal-doored toilet stalls, two long rows of sinks, and an enormous mirror. The mirror has some cracks in it. It's pretty much as bare bones as it comes. On the wall near the exit is a touch panel. The screen reads How do you like our bathrooms? and then shows several smiley faces: 🥳🥹🤔😵‍💫🤡. You can share your enjoyment of this bathroom by selecting one of these smiley faces.

All the way on the other end of the dinky space are two coin-operated showers. You don’t have coins, but that's okay. The mechanism is broken, so the showers will turn on with cold water for a minute at a time and abruptly shut off.

RUNDOWN

• Characters initially awaken only with the clothes on their back.
• Characters can receive their home & game items, alongside with other offered amenities listed above, via the baggage claim.
• At the moment, any attempt to send text messages will not go through, and the network cannot be accessed due to lack of signal. The only working functions on the phone are the camera, flashlight, passport directory, and memo app.
• Profiles are currently active on the phone via passport directory.
• Multiple areas are blocked off and cannot be broken through (marked in red).
• If you are making any notable changes to the locations, please tell us in your mod DM for now!
• There will be A Thing coming up on Saturday @ 4pm PST/7pm EST! OOCly, it will go on for the rest of the weekend, so you do not need to be here immediately.

Wait - !

ii

[sarkazm]

Ooh, priorities, huh?

[lmao. she's just watching the stabbing happen, tail flicking behind her.]

[spiritbalm]

IF THEY ARE SOLICITING FEEDBACK ON THEIR ENTRAPMENT AND LACK OF SUITABLE FACILITIES THEY SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE CONSEQUENT RESPONSE.

[ struggling to get his knife back out. it's really stuck in there. anyway hi person who he knows and is familiar with. ]

I did not take you for the type to accept such situations lying down.

[ justice is still an asshole as always, which she would definitely know! ]

i

I didn't touch the toilets.

ii.

[ballies]

...







...


If you're done yelling, can you throw me some toilet paper?

[spiritbalm]

I'm not yelling.

[ he's forcefully communicating. rubbing his temple like he has a migraine, but his voice sounds a little different now that he's done yelling. ]

Why ... ?

i

[bxkautx]

[ she has no confidence in her ability to catch this cat, so she just watches it go by... ]

At least she can't get far.

i

Nanaki immediately vaults herself over a set of seats and tries to scoop that cat up in her arms.]

ii

[halians]

[ you know guy's got a point. muttering: ]

Always works out that way, doesn't it... oppression, thy name's the loo. [ where's the nice bathroom. where's the bed. etc etc

What in the muddle-fudgin'— Frumpkin?!

i

[siffrin]

[ Manages to catch her, perks of their speed and nimble also my sick 17 roll. But also that does not mean they might not get scratched by her fury. Nevertheless - ]

..Oh! [ (UHH.) ]

i

[selfimmolation]

Cat?

[ kitty

reflexively crouching and trying to catch this cat. he has no protection against scratches. he may regret this ]

i

[teenrebellion]

[ the cat runs straight between his legs, promptly tripping him up and making kazuki loose his balance. pinwheel arms. he might fall over. that's fine. ]

ii

[drymonster]

[ well now that he's hearing that bold text he's coming over to check out these bathrooms. which, like, they exist, so he guesses that's technically a step up from last time, but UGH. ]

Why can't these places ever have a decent fucking bathroom?!

ii

[sixam]

[ he is just. watching this happen. ]

Anything else? [ dry. so dry. ]

ii!

[nascens]

[THE BATHROOM CONDITIONS ARE UNJUST good thing he does not have to care about them. Rip to the rest of you bozos.]
