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.

You're really pretty!

[ she rams into the machine.

beautifully. ]


Hm? [ oh. ] Oh! Thank you.

[ a hot pocket flops onto the ground with a sad ‘thump’ ]
feytality: I'm just a lean green spirit medium from outer space (feed me seymour)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome!

... Oh, looks like something came out.
ballies: (048)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 02:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Huh.

[ she crouches down next to it and stares. ]

… I guess this is food?
feytality: she'll beat you up with her noodle arms (Does Maya have to smack a bitch?)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
It sure is! We gotta find a microwave or something, though.
ballies: (098)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
... Do we really want to?

[ look at this thing. ]
feytality: you are the dicks (in conclusion: dicks)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It tastes better than it looks.
ballies: (144)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she just looks at it and pulls a face. ]

I've heard of ranch but I'm not sure I want to try it.
feytality: she'll beat you up with her noodle arms (Does Maya have to smack a bitch?)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 07:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Come on, give it a chance!

... After we find a microwave.
ballies: (044)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...

Do we even have one of those here?
feytality: This is what happens when you let her dress herself (what the hell is she wearing)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Good question!

Should we look for one?
ballies: (140)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hmmmm. ]

Well, it's not like we have anything else to do, is it?
feytality: i guess if you look really closely there is a nose, maybe (WHO NEEDS A NOSE)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly! So let's do it.

[ yayyyyy ]
ballies: (067)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 08:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Alright, pick a direction and let's go!
feytality: she'll beat you up with her noodle arms (Does Maya have to smack a bitch?)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Over there!

[ points towards the horse. why would a microwave be there ]
ballies: (049)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
A... horsecrowave?
feytality: her hands look weird in this icon (Go! Fight! WIIIIIIN!)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't you think it could be hidden behind the horse? And you have to beat the horse to proceed?
ballies: (034)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think is what they meant by "beating a dead horse".
feytality: This is what happens when you let her dress herself (what the hell is she wearing)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's more like an undead horse....
ballies: (085)

[personal profile] ballies 2025-05-31 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not moving, it can't be a zombie.
feytality: you are the dicks (in conclusion: dicks)

[personal profile] feytality 2025-05-31 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's just staying still to trick you.
