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.

[toyska]

[After he gets his stuff, he is watching the baggage claim to see if there any cool weapons that appear and who claims them

"Pixi is that the whole top level" yeah I have chip cheese dust on my hand]

[doublefists]

[ do these count ]

[toyska]

[If they count for Wrio they count for Vi yeah]

Nice gauntlets, comrade! They suit you.

[doublefists]

[ ayyyyy

a beat, and she flashes him a half-grin. ]

Thanks. Workplace benefits. [ wryly. ] You work here or what?

[sarkazm]

[idk this might be. it's hovering once it's out of the luggage bag. i will bring this to you to be nice to your cheeto hands.]

As if you haven't had worse. Quit your bitching, you were just stuck in a bag...

[toyska]

[MY SCAM DORITO HANDS!!!!!!! Childe definitely looks interested in. What is this actually. Whatever it is it looks cool]

Who are you chatting with?

[sarkazm]

Just this guy.

[jabs a finger at the floating launcher.]

We just showed up here, and already he's trying to make it my fault.

[bxkautx]

[ already has her own stuff which are not weapons, but she'll wander over and stand next to him. ] Haven't got your stuff yet?

[toyska]

I have! [It's just sitting by his feet, actually, since he doesn't really have anywhere else to put it--this doll sitting on top of a case, which is apparently green because that's all google is showing me.] Just making sure I'm not missing anything.

[That's not what he's doing]

I take it this wasn't another one of your spontaneous decisions?

[bxkautx]

[ hmm. doesn't believe him but that's fine. she is just rudely picking up this doll to look at it idly. ]

Wasn't me. I've been too swamped with work since the last game to jump back into trouble.

[siffrin]

[ what do they have? a knife!!11 ]

[toyska]

[THIS DESCRIPTION IS TAKING ME OUT SO BAD THE ARTIST STRUGGLE. Also damn this makes him miss his own knives... lucky...]

Find everything alright, comrade? [Do you have more knives]

[siffrin]

[ (..Comrade??) ]

I'm missing some of my things again but.. it seems okay otherwise? [ From their look over their knife, anyway. But alas no more knives. Just a white baby chao that is standing behind their leg, hugging it with a shy peer at Childe. ]

... [ (You're pretty confident you don't know this person but. Something? Feels familiar? Weird.) Siffrin just stares at him, curious. ]

[shirtbag]

[ pulls out his gun from a banged up cardboard box covered in duct tape.

and then looks at childe like this. while holding his gun. ]

Got a problem, Carrot-Top?

[toyska]

[NOT THE CARDBOARD BOX

The name makes him laugh.]

That's a new one! [Reminds him of Xinyan weh] But no, no problems. I just haven't seen a gun like that in some time.

[feytality]

[ mimicking the way he's watching ]

Whacha looking at?

[toyska]

Nothing in particular! Just making sure I'm not missing any other valuables--at least, none that I seem to have been given.

[He did see the passports since he got good at using a phone in hell]

[teenrebellion]

[ does not have cool weapons but he does sling a guitar over his shoulder. ]

...You still waiting for something, or what?

[toyska]

[Looks interested in this for a different reason]

No, no--but that instrument, do you play it?

[lifeless]

[SADLY NOTHING COOL SHOWS UP!!! Manwol picks up her fancy sounding lipstick and (mumbles) claude and makes a noise of disgust]

Just lipstick? What am I, a bloody mouthed ghost?

[toyska]

[WHY DID YOU MUMBLE!!!!

This reaction makes Childe laugh, though, since he hasn't looked at the profiles yet in this thread.]

Hey, it might come in handy! We have a lot of parties in hell, after all.

[Probably not as many as they used to but likely more than most of the rest of you because Childe likes to have a good time]

[psynchroneyes]

[ Sadly no cool weapons here; the piece of luggage that Mizuki eventually picks up is on the smaller side, if anything. When she spots him looking: ]

If you're still waiting on yours, this isn't it.

[toyska]

[YOU ARE SOOOO SMALL WHY ARE SO MANY OF YOU SO SMALL

He waves a hand.]

No, I'm fairly sure I've got everything that'll be here for now. Still, it doesn't hurt to check.

[Just in case it magically decides to spit out his other stuff]

[nostradamus]

[just a severed arm here........]

[toyska]

[Okay even he has to pause at this one]

Why.
