[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

[but he's laughing as he shakes his head-]
More like 'considering giving him fated rival status', we haven't been proper rivals in the same event for a long time. Still after me to get back to it, though.
[chuuya's probably made mention of that before, just... without naming whoever he used to be rivals with who he still sees every so often at mixed sport competitions... it's fine. the rivalry dates back before he met galo.]
no subject
[the funny thing that galo knows both people involved but has not connected these dots,, it's fine!!]
Then that sounds like fate to me, you know? Are you gonna go back to competing in the same event? A bump would definitely seal the deal!
no subject
[that's immediate, because NO, DON'T SPEAK THAT INTO THE UNIVERSE and jinx him into losing!!]
We can be rivals without facing each other directly, anyway-- I'm betting I can take the win by a higher margin this time. Besides, he could always take on something different himself.
no subject
[IMMEDIATELY changes his mind! thanks!]
Huh... I wonder if the bump'll still work the same way then. But the gesture behind it still means a lot!! So I hope he'll accept your bump.
no subject
[there's a thoughtful hum, there...]
Maybe I can make him the same kind of bet. If I lose, I'll go back to skating, but if he loses then he joins me instead-- then it still works out, because when I win, we'll share events again. Right?
[flawless logic!]
no subject
before offering chuuya a bite. chuuya doesn't eat a lot. galo feels safe offering this churro out because he knows that he will receive most of it back intact, compared to his little brother who is a fucking vacuum and galo learned early not to share food if he wanted to keep any of it]
High stakes.
Ah well, as long as you're both happy with whatever you decide!
[IT'S NONE OF HIS BUSINESS he just doesn't want to deal with drama]
no subject
[because yeah adrenaline is 100% part of what keeps him active and interested... honestly, if he'd stayed with his partner he'd have needed to keep finding ways to push them both to avoid getting complacent.
he's absolutely taking the churro though, handing it back after a bite.]
Anyway, I get the better end of the deal here, because I already told him he'd only get me back if I started losing.
--wait, why the hell didn't I make him say the same before-!
no subject
galo's laughing at chuuya
but galo is 100% laughing at chuuya, even as he takes his churro back and chomps on it!! he's also eyeing chuuya's snowcone. chuuya probably knows better than to try sharing with galo though]
Hah!! You got outsmarted?! Now that's funny.
[thIS IS A HORRIBLE INSULT COMING FROM GALO OF ALL PEOPLE]
no subject
[no, chuuya just heard a high stakes bet and went YOU'RE ON and took it as more incentive to just Not Lose, Ever, because he's stupid that way.
and because he's huffy, he notes the way his snowcone is being eyed and pointedly does not offer any of it, taking an extra large bite.
...then shuddering slightly, brain freeze, why]
no subject
no he's not that petty he's too soft for this - ] Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth.
[there]
Well! You can consider 'em now, I guess, but some people get pretty attached to their sport, don't they?
no subject
Yeah, they do. But he's good-- I think he could be competitive in... well, anything I do.
no subject
[and he's trying to run through his mental catalogue of athletes...]
What's his name again?
[because galo can only - think of one he knows well enough that'd match that description?]
no subject
[this is the point where chuuya fINALLY realizes that 1. he never said specifically, and 2. galo doesn't actually know? fuck. as a sort of apology for not saying anything, he's just scooping up some of the snowcone & offering the spoon out to galo as he answers.]
His name's Lio.
no subject
and then
immediately starts choking when he hears the name]
no subject
[fuck he's not the doctor here don't choke on him
it's just shaved ice and it will melt but STILL]
Should've taken the smaller bite, genius...
