[mingle] world zero: game on!
world zero: game on!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and because this is the Isle of Champions - they will be singing forever. You step through an Airport much like the one that you witnessed in The Space - but this one is bustling with life. Streamers and banners line every inch of the walls, praising athletes and bold font encouraging each kingdom to take home the gold!! Haggard assistants run through the airport terminal with luggage carts, and lines of fans with cameras and items they’d like signed wait behind ropes that keep them all in one place.
A few steps in, a jingling tone and vibration might alert you to something in your pocket. Investigating it will reveal a cell phone - and a message just for you!
For Everyone:
One (1) New Message
Welcome to all athletes, supporters, merchants, and esteemed guests to The Isle of Champions for the 10th Annual War Games! The island has been gifted with the latest technology in order to help ensure efficiency and comfort during your visit. Please utilize the digital maps and assistants in order to make it to your hotel and destinations beyond. Thank you for your patronage, and victory to us all!
But what's this…? It looks as though Original Individuals will find that their text message continues:
Bet You Thought You'd Seen the Last of Me? ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
If you can read this… (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)✧ It looks like your soul didn't assimilate as well as the others!!
Here's the skinny: Welcome to… the magic Olympics!! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ Your mission is the same! Laugh! Cry! Regain the pieces of yourself that were once lost!
（｀・ω・）ゞ And maybe kick some ass at sportsball while you're at it!!
Uhh, oh, let me catch you up to speed though—
Original characters will then find themselves with a very, very brief summary of what their Remixed life would have been - but it only pertains to facts about themselves, like their kingdom and occupation! There's no mention of their relationships with the other characters. For those of you who haven't crafted possible Remixed lives, you'll only get:
( ⚆ _ ⚆ ) Um… Backstory not found?
… Feel free to wing it! (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
Let's continue on our adventure, shall we!
The Isle of Champions is a bustling city, and you'll have to make it through Downtown to actually get to your destination. Whether you're on foot or grabbed a car, you'll see the shops and tourists fill the streets! Every restaurant and dessert shop seems to have its own special gimmick item for the Games, and some people might give you dirty looks on the street if they see you repping a snowcone with a different Kingdom emblem than their own. Phew, competitive much? But more than that, you'll see merchandise for all the different athletes that are competing in the Games - see a familiar face on there? Maybe even if you're own? Or are you going to be the person that buys all your friends' merch just to embarrass them later?
The Hotel where you might want to drop off your stuff - if you have... stuff....? - is about as glamorous as you would expect! It's a structure that's been renovated and improved with each incarnation of the Games, which is a rather fortunate thing as you might notice that reporters, politicians, and other big wigs are assigned to stay here. Other general fans and spectators might have their rooms here, if they didn't get a more inexpensive room in a different inn downtown, but they're definitely on the first ten floors as opposed to eleven and up which sound like they're reserved for the fancy shmancy folks.
But you might also be led to this location with the talk of the Gala that'll be held halfway through the Games - all throughout the first two weeks, it looks like people are getting ready for it! The Grand Ballroom on the second floor of the hotel has a set of double doors where only volunteers and staff can enter - maybe you can find a way in? However there apparently seems to be an odd legend that revolves around the Gala. If you fistbump your rival at midnight, you will both see each other in the Finals for your event the following Games. So? Do you think you're gonna get bumped? ;)
Well, where are the stars of the show anyway....? It looks like Victory Village is where all the athletes are stationed!! All the athletes will be dorming here, and each of them have their own room! Who can say what their situations with their neighbors might be like though - hopefully they get along! All the amenities can be found here - along with a number of luxurious add-ons. There's a 24/7 kitchen open to the athletes, with chefs from all around the world ready to cater to their needs. Not to mention training facilities, because this is about sportsball at the end of the day. Probably. Athletes will find a floor dedicated entirely to virtual reality simulations of every single sport that they might desire. Anyone within the room will begin the simulation with them! Isn't that fun?
And of course... The War Games Arena is majestic. A sight to see. It gleams against the sunlight, holding all the hopes and dreams of every athlete that wanted to compete. Each day holds a new event, and each day the athletes of each kingdom will compete to see how high they can place. Inside are the usual locker rooms, the stands with the thousands of screaming fans, and of course the VIP Lounge and Press Box. Well, surely there's a way to visit if you're really curious enough to get a sneak peek at what it might be like inside.
Finally, every inch of the island itself is gorgeous. The sunsets are famous here, and the beaches have only the softest sand and unfathomably massive swells of waves. Yet the interesting bit is that it seems like all throughout - a line of technology runs. Questions as simple as "Where am I?" will prompt a virtual screen to seemingly appear out of thin air, giving you a map of the island to navigate yourself. Though there may be an occasion where a little spot of fire, or a rain of ice, can be seen out of the corner of your eye - only for it to disappear entirely. Well… maybe they're just working some bugs out. Everything innovative requires a little bit of tinkering before it's fixed!
Welcome to your first world hop - World Zero: Game On! Please utilize this post, as well as the AU Plotting Post for all your reference needs. Questions are also welcomed to be sent to Dana at any time

[snaps a quick pick, before shooting Kano a THUMBS UP of approval]
Thanks.
I sure hope the store owner doesn't yell at us for not buying the product.
[actually they should probably flee before said store owner realizes they kind of sort of stole store goods]
no subject
[ Kano needs no further prompting to flee, rolling up the magazine to shove into his jacket pocket along with his hands as he turns and walks casually down the street. It's not even a run. Nobody will be suspicious of a confident, all natural saunter. ]
no subject
[super casual-like]
[THESE TWO ARE NOT DELINQUENTS]
no subject
Look... The opportunity was there and so he took it. He's friends with a celebrity; nobody would date haul his ass to jail in front of mister hotshot here. He hopes. ]
Sooooooooo... Have you hit up all the other stands yet? There's some later editions that haven't been pulled yet, if you haven't snap snap'd them yet~
[ Akira's face is everywhere, and if he doesn't want to pay for them, Kano is here to help blatantly cheat the system. ]
no subject
[it's okay though Akira doesn't care. it's just a magazine. he's stolen worse. ha ha]
. . . nnnnot yet, but I'm a little concerned about how many covers my face may be on now.
[oh, Akira. he has no idea]
no subject
[ SEVERAL MANY YEARS, MAYBE but long enough to be on more than a handful of magazines, that's for sure ]
no subject
[closes it again]
Yep. That's exactly what I'm doing.
[god he's making his famous self sound like an asshole. SWEATS. . .]
And about-- [. . . brb checking the article he took pictures of on his phone OH THANK GOD THE ANSWER IS IN THE INTERVIEW] -- five years now? I started pretty young.
no subject
[ APPARENTLY, THEY'RE COUSINS. Who knew. I learned about this yesterday. ]
So, what kinda bet do you have going on? With Minato-chan again? You know better than that— he's got his big bro on his side for appearances and stuff! Work hard, A☆ ki☆ ra ☆
no subject
Right. Of course you know. Everyone knows. I was just-- checking.
[oh god pretending is so hard, THERE IS NO WAY THIS GUY DOESN'T REALIZE SOMETHING IS UP WITH HIM. SWEATS NERVOUSLY]
And that's okay. It's not about winning or losing, it's about. . . the friends we make along the way.
[what]
no subject
Yeah, keep it up~ That's what gets you on magazine covers, cheesy stuff like that~
[ He pats Akira on the back and with the same hand steers him towards another storefront with a display of magazines. There's Akira on the cover in just a plain white hoodie and what looks like a high school campus in the background, the quote next to him reading "It's not about winning or losing, it's about the friends we make along the way."
This is supposed to be a positive message to teens or something. ]
no subject
[pulls out his phone to snap a picture of that magazine cover too, though after which he speaks, tone dry]
I need a new catchphrase.
no subject
[ Which he doesn't attend and has no business being around, but that isn't the point. ]
But if you're looking for a new catchphrase, how about... "CERTAIN VICTORY CHUUYA NAKAHARA"
Looks like Chuuya doesn't want this one, so it's up for the taking~
no subject
. . . and aren't you too old to be in middle school?
no subject
[ Everybody has the right to an education, Akira, leave him alone. ]
no subject
Mmm. Pass. I don't want to use someone else's name in my own catchphrase.
no subject
Fine, fine, let's compromise. "AKIRA KURUSU CHUUYA NAKAHARA"
no subject
Still denied.
This is why you aren't my publicist.
[AKIRA IS SO RUDE]
no subject
[ Akira probably has so much money, he can afford to pay Kano to sit around and do nothing but create questionable t-shirt mockups. ]
no subject
[NERVOUS SWEATING INTENSIFIES]
Hn. I'll think about it.
Do you have a resume??
[he doesn't know how much money he has and if he has money HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO ACCESS IT TO SPEND IT]
no subject
[ It'll be a very very short resume, if he can whip one up right off the top of his head. Akira would get his name, though, and Kano would probably be glad to be paid in pennies tbh ]
no subject
[holds out his hand]
[for Kano to write on his palm]
[BECAUSE THAT'S ALL HE'S GOT]
[is he being serious it's so hard to tell]
no subject
Got it so far? 'cause I'm gonna have to write over it.
no subject
. . . crayon doesn't write well on skin.
no subject
[ It needs a harder surface to work. ]
Let me see you glasses.
