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!

[ In theory, she is. That device given to her more or less says she's a competitor, but her skills and expertise aren't all easily translated to sports. ]

I suppose I am. You're so level-headed for someone so young. Your coaches must be delighted with you.

[For a moment, he watches her without blinking much less moving.]

More could do with being level-headed. [At least for the time it takes to do what they need to do.] You didn't say what you were competing in.

[ His mannerisms remind her of someone even if their personalities aren't the same. It makes her smile seem a little less for show. ]

I may not have the build for rowing, but I'm a bit impressive with the angle of my dives.

[ At least that's what her phone and media say. ]

[Shockingly, he actually looks a tad surprised.] You're the diver. [Well, the one he's been seeing here and there. He straightens a bit more.]

I'm a swimmer.

[ She smiles, but it's easier to catch her smiling than anything else. Hopefully, that's confirmation enough for Haku. ]

I saw. Do you think we can get along even if we're from different kingdoms?

[Now that she's given a slightly better smile, it's a tad easier for him to understand most of the other ones don't exactly reach her eyes.]

Others let their passion get away from them. I'm not here to make enemies.

Would you like to be friends?

[ Does she mean it? Is she being facetious? It's hard to tell. ]

[At first, he looks a little surprised, and then he looks both suspicious and skeptical. His lips continue to be thin.]

I'm not here for friends either.

[ She was hoping he wouldn't remind her of someone. ]

Is it such a suspicious thing to want to get along?

[ She sounds a little sad, a little sorry. ]

I didn't ask for insidious reasons. Friendship isn't supposed to be frightening.

It isn't normally.

[He doesn't drop his guard necessarily, but he does relax a little so he can make sure the ice cream isn't melting too bad.]

Why do you want to be friends with rivals during a competition? It just sounds suspicious.

If I asked you when the games aren't occurring, would you answer the same?

[ She doesn't care about the competition in and of itself. She cares what this overall world is supposed to mean. How is it to apply to her when she hasn't assimilated? ]

You reminded me of someone.

[ It's true even if she doesn't normally approach people like this just because they're like someone she knows. ]

That depends on what your answer is to my question.

[Which isn't a yes or a no, frustratingly enough. But he isn't sure he wants friends who might be fair weathered in regards to fame, not that he thinks he's super famous. Not enough to matter.]

Who?

[Should he be curious at all, he wonders.]

It's rude to answer a question with a question.

[ She smiles, but it's one of her more dangerous ones. ]

I wouldn't want any friends of mine to help me in any way that's not fair, in life, in competition, or anywhere else. You reminded me of someone I work with, an ally. He's a bit less socially aware than you.

[ Maybe a little more than a bit. ]
