GAME 2 - DAY 1
[ You stir awake on the cold floor, and find yourself in a REALLY CROWDED dressing room with some other people. They may be strangers, they may be people you know, but then you wonder, where are you?
Then it hits you. The last thing that happened before waking up was that you found a message in a bottle. You read the note, blinked once, and someone behind you hit you in the head. You fell to the floor, but that was it. That was all you remember. You must have passed out, and now you're here. Wherever here is.
The room is what it is. It seems to have been a murder scene. Who was murdered, no one knows. Try not to destroy the crime scene, would you? There's only a couple of drops of blood by the outline - and that's a really huge outline, the guy must be at least 6 feet tall. A tile from the floor is missing. Well, whatever. Is that really important? (No, it's not! Not at the moment, anyway…) What may be of importance (?!?!?!?!) is the note written in lipstick on the mirror. It reads: MAKE FRIENDS.
If you exit the dressing room, you'll find yourself in a hallway. There's another room next to the one you came from, but it's locked. There's some noise coming from inside, though… If you put your ear to the door, you may hear a possibly familiar song. But you might even check that out later, because right on the wall in front of you hang twelve square mirrors - about twelve inches in length, and eight in width. Each mirror will reflect only one specific person, no matter how many people are standing in front of it. (Eg. if Person A stands in front of Mirror A, he'll see himself. If he stands in front of Mirror B, he won't see any reflection at all.)
Upon looking at your mirror, you'll find someone behind you. Before you could even react, you hear the words "find wolves, keep secrets" whispered in your ear like an itchy and spine tingling thing. If you look back, the beautiful creature is gone. Its reflection is gone, too.
And when the badger disappears, you'll feel something heavy in your pocket. Pull it out, and you get a Nokia 3210. It's a pretty bulky and heavy device, but hey. It's a cellphone. Although… there are only four features to the phone: Rules, Vote, Calculator, and Snake.
If you check out the vote feature, you'll find a list of names. It seems you can only choose just one pair of names. Once someone votes on it, the bar right below their name grows longer, and you can see how many people voted on it. Everyone should know who their partner is from this list alone.
Welcome to (one part of) the Sunshine Coliseum! The broom closet is locked, and so is the room with the red light. Don't go there, Roxanne. If you head to the stage, you can play with the instruments. Feel free to chill out in the audience area. The chairs are very comfortable to sit on. There isn't much to do, but one should be crafty enough to find means of entertainment. This is game, after all.
Lastly, YOU HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY ANYTHING IN THE VENDING MACHINE. (It has soda and potato chips, by the way. Please don't steal anything...! Or you can. You know. Whatever. It's not like there are cops around!) ]

For any team posts or if your character(s) will be talking to another team in private, please remember to filter the post and addprotoshepherd to it! Characters will have whatever they had on them, or if they have any pets, then they can have those, too.
Regarding pets/items: SURE GO AHEAD AND HAVE YOUR CHARACTER BRING THEM. If it's a magical item, then it will NOT work.

Someone please help him, he's making "oohs" and "ahhs" every time one of the buttons makes a number show up on screen. ]
Snake, huh...? I don't see a snake around here, though.
no subject
You tellin' me you don't know what Snake is? What kind of deadbeat planet are you even from, man?
no subject
[ What even is that haircut, man. You can't even talk about this dude's sideburns when you're sporting hair like that.
But nah, Hans is honestly confused ok!!! ]
This thing doesn't look like a snake.
no subject
don't insult the hair though.
with a much more approachable expression and tone of voice, dandy pulls out his phone from his pocket and starts his Snake 101 class. ] You see those two dots? Well, you make the one that's moving change direction with these buttons, and you've gotta move it onto the dot that's not moving. [ and then he gestures for hans to try it with an expecting kind of look. ] It's a piece of cake, baby.
no subject
[ See, that's a perfectly fine explanation. Hans clearly had you pegged all wrong, guy. He's able to pick it up pretty quickly after that explanation. ]
Ohh, this makes sense! So it's like a game you can carry around...?
[ Dang, this is way more hi-tech than puzzles and shit. Now he has his own snake machine! ]
no subject
Haven't you ever used a cell phone before? [ dandy doesn't own one, but it's only because his ship has all of the fancy calling stuff. he knows some planets are more than underprivileged though... this poor and confused guy, coming all the way from a third world planet! ]
no subject
[ HELLA RUDE WITH THOSE ASSUMPTIONS, DANDY. Hans is just mystified by this future tech. ]
What else can these do?
no subject
wait
why is this guy dressed so fancy if he doesn't even know what a phone is? ]
(no subject)
no subject
Mr. Renfaire over here catches his attention-- man, way to stay in-character, even during a mass kidnapping-- so he moves over and helpfully interjects,] It's a game. You move the snake around the screen and get it to eat the food without touching its tail.
no subject
[ Watch him lift the phone up. And down. And the snake doesn't seem to be moving?? Why?? ]
How exactly does this help the snake?
no subject
No. You use the buttons to do that. [He can't believe he's doing this when they're in quite possibly mortal peril, but you know what? He'll roll with it. Tony reaches over and presses a directional button to move the snake on the screen into a little pixel of food.] It got bigger now.
no subject
[ It's like you just turned water into wine, buddy. Or made a snowstorm out of thin air, though that would involve a lot more scowling... ]
That's incredible! What a unique device!
no subject
The poor fellow seems to be having some trouble with his phone, though. Cabanela will prance right on over there to assist.]
The snake is ooon the screen, baby.
no subject
I mean, sure, Cabanela talks kind of funny but whatever, right? Doesn't mean he'd make sense either way. ]
The screen? You mean on this? [ It's so small, how do you fit a snake in there? ]
no subject
Thaaat's right. It's a game, you see. A highly outdated one, at that.
no subject
What does that say about him tho...]Is it? I've never seen anything like this before.
[ By "this," he means the phone. He's never even held one in his hands before, so he only just now realizes he should probably not cover the buttons all at once. ]
no subject
Hah, these things used to be aaall the rage ten years ago. The latest of the latest. Now look at 'm. The younger generation doesn't even knooow what they are. It's the sad truth of modern technology, baby.
no subject
no subject
That's a good theory. If we have to deal with snakes next, I'd rather be prepared.
[ He smiles, offering her a swift bow. A gentleman always introduces himself first, duh. ]
Very nice to meet you and your companion. My name is Hans. Prince Hans of the Southern Isles.
no subject
It is a pleasure and an honor to make your acquaintance! I am Princess L'Arachel of the theocracy of Rausten. [She offers a short curtsey.] How charming, to meet another noble in this place!
no subject
Likewise. I never thought I'd be kidnapped quite like this!
[ He chuckles. Common ground is the best place to start. ]
Does your horse have a name? It's quite beautiful.
no subject
Don't worry, if there is a snake somewhere around here, I will definitely protect it!
no subject
The snake?
[ Don't protect the snake!! ]
no subject
Helping anyone in need is what any good hero of justice would do!
Speaking of which, you look like you need a hand.
no subject
[ Hans laughs, mostly at how exuberant Fulbright is.
How do you mirror a mirror, Hans??]Well, I suppose that could be said for all us, huh? I don't suppose you know where we are either, do you?
