INTRO LOG

[cyclists]

Week Zero
32 in Competition

The transition from unconsciousness to the waking world is practically seamless. Though you're certain this wasn't where you meant to end up, for a few brief moments it's hard to grasp the situation and take in your surroundings.

A soft twilight lights your way, casting a glow over the sprawling village that fans out around you. Just outside of the large meeting hall you'll find yourself awakening among several others who have found themselves in this place. There's a sense of peace that looms over the area, the only sounds being the cheerful chirp of a stray bird or two and the babbling brook that runs through the village itself.

Stand up, dust yourself off and set out. There are plenty of places to explore and should you venture far enough you'll even find several little houses throughout the village. It may take some time, but as you check out each house you'll soon come across something that belongs to you...along with something that doesn't. It seems that this new residence is yours to share. As for the village itself, the other buildings appear open and well-stocked, providing you with a variety of amenities to utilize. The paths leading out of the village, however, are guarded by four ornate wooden gates. No matter how hard you try, they will not let you past. It seems that the time isn't right yet.

Speaking of, the only way to truly track the passage of time is by charting the movements of the sun but that can prove to be quite difficult as well. As the sun dips below the horizon and the night sky fills with stars, the bell at the shrine rings out to signal the end of your first day. No one else has arrived. It's only you and these strangers for now.

It seems as though you'll have plenty of time to get acquainted with your fellow companions. Make yourself comfortable; when the time is right, answers will appear.

[daibanana]

[her eyes dart to the side for a moment, thoughtful.

Then they slide back to Lea as she nods]

Yes, I was with one of my classmates... and then all of this happened. I don't remember anyone having taken me here, though.

[leaberator]

So they just took everyone here and ... either none of us noticed, or they erased our memories of it somehow?

[ he brings a head up to his forehead with a sigh ]

That's worrying on more than one level.

[daibanana]

... I didn't think about our memories being erased.

[For once, there's no smile on her face. Her mouth has set into a line, if only briefly.]

If that's the case... how rude.

[leaberator]

Yeah. I'm not a big fan of that either.

[ like he has some kind of issue with memories or something. ]

Still, there's no way to know for sure until we figure out who did this. What a pain in the neck.

[daibanana]

Hmmm...

[Humming again? To herself, mostly, and the smile returns with vigor]

Oh, before I forget -- have you checked the houses, yet? There are things on the bed that might belong to us.

[leaberator]

Ah-- yeah, I did, thanks. Found my phone and my roommate, so I got that going for me.

[ his roommate is a child but that's fine ]

[daibanana]

You have a phone?

[GUESS WHAT QUESTION IS COMING NEXT]

I don't suppose you get service out here?

[That's going to be one heck of a plot-twist, if they can just call the police and put this nightmare behind them]

[leaberator]

[ he takes out what clearly looks like a child's toy from his pocket, pressing a few buttons to show it. does. work. somehow. but when he presses to call, it disconnects automatically. ]

Nope. Nothing going. Which means I really gotta talk to some people about their range promises once I get out of here.

[ he's gonna call out a few chipmunks, is what he's saying ]

[daibanana]

[.................]

Ah... I've never seen a phone quite like this before.

[a m a z i n g]

But I guess it would be too much to hope that a phonecall would solve our troubles.

[leaberator]

I wouldn't think you would. There aren't that many out there in the universe.

[ because they were made by chipmunks and their inter-dimensional or whatever. ]

Hey, nothing wrong with being optimistic. I definitely tried the phone first thing after I got it back.

[daibanana]

[Chipmunks need to work on their sense of style, yikes. Even Nana is lowkey shook by the quality.

Though after a pause, Nana tilts her head.]

Lea-san, does your phone take pictures by any chance?

[leaberator]

Huh? Yeah, sure.

[ he opens the fucking camera, which has a very clear selfie mode option ]

[daibanana]

[Nana's eyes are practically sparkling.

She doesn't ask to take a picture, however, even if anyone can see that's what she'd like, and there's no small amount of reminders to herself that this isn't her camera, it won't have the pictures she's looking for--

But it's nice knowing there's one here, she decides, enough to bring a smile to her face.]

Do you have pictures of your friends on yours?

[leaberator]

Oh, yeah, gimme a sec.

[ ... for some reason, he moves his phone to look through a wide variety of pictures before settling on one? it's a mediocre quality selfie of him with two teens, a black haired girl and a blond boy. he kinda looks like he's about to cry in the picture, but they're all grinning. weird. ]

That's Roxas, and the other one is Xion. Ah, she's here too, actually.

[daibanana]

[Ah, so she's not the only one here who was brought along with a friend, then.

And her expression brightens once she has a chance to look at the pictures]

Ah, they're both so cute...

[leaberator]

[ he grins easily at that comment, because he can believe whatever he wants they are legally his kids, ]

Ha, yeah. Don't tell 'em I said this, but Xion's the cuter one, though.

[ he's kidding. maybe. no. ]
