Welcome To The Village
Who: Everyone who was signed-up for the excursion
What: The Village December Excursion
When: Dec 1st - Dec 23rd
Where: The Village
Warnings: Involuntary capture and confinement including immobilization and restraints, violence, injury, maiming, possibility of death, torture, coercion, gaslighting, mind control, drugging, scientific experiments, and extremely inaccurate depictions of mental health facilities/hospitals, among other potentially triggering themes. Please mark all threads appropriately.
"Good morning, good morning, good morning!" A voice that sounds very similar to Friday's chirps over a loudspeaker outside your character's home. Yes, their home.
Overnight, all the passengers who signed up for this excursion have been transported to their very own personal cottages. They will awake in a bed that is familiar to them. While this home of theirs does not necessarily have to resemble the place they were born or raised, it will be a perfect replica of a place they truly thought of as their home, down to the most minute details.
The cottages are self-contained, the size of a large studio apartment so, in some cases, they may only resemble the bedroom and living room of a person's home with a shrunken-down kitchenette and bathroom adjoined. But the heirlooms of their past are here. A favorite doll? A treasured family portrait? Trinkets you have long forgotten about? All of them will be here, somehow. (All except for weapons, that is.) They are indistinguishable from the real item, down to the molecule.
After that wake-up call, the voice continues on to express that the weather will be warm and sunny, with no rain forecasted. A brass band concert is announced, to start at noon on the lawn next to the living chess set. And once that bit of news is wrapped up, lively marching band music will begin to play. And it will continue to play. All day. From every speaker...including the ones hidden in their home.
Welcome to Your Village
It only gets stranger from here. Characters may be dismayed to find that they are without any of their original clothes or belongings. They awake in conservative button-up pajamas. The closet in their home is full of the latest Village Fashion to choose from. Everything is The Village label brand, including the tin cans of food that stock the kitchen and any of the groceries you could get at the General Store.
Your ship phone rings. When you answer it, you will be greeted, once again, by the voice of Friday. "Your number, please? Of course, you have a number. Look at your badge." If they look down at their chest, they will discover a small round number badge has been pinned to their pajamas. Was that there before? It bears the symbol of a Penny-farthing Bicycle, with a number in the spokes. This is their number.
"No names here," the voice of Friday chides, "Only numbers. Number 2 would like a word with you at the Green Dome. He requests you come for breakfast. Thank you!" Before they can protest further, the line goes dead.
Some Notes:
No matter how many times your character tries to take off and disregard their number badge, they will always find it re-attached to their clothes again the moment they look away and look back.
Your characters still have their phones but now they can only make calls instead of sending texts. They also do not take or store photographs anymore.
If your character destroys or damages anything in their home, or in The Village it will instantly repair the way things used to on the Serena Eterna.
The noise from the speakers can be muffled by covering it with pillows or other creative items, but cannot be stopped entirely. (Sorry Phil)

Some Notes:
no subject
And yet, one does have to be impressed with their stealth. It'd be great, something she could respect if it wasn't messing with people she likes.
"Makes me wonder if they can just teleport from here to there, anywhere they like to remain unseen."
no subject
"Huh. I guess I never considered that. If they can do all this other crap then why not teleport? Maybe that's why I keep seeing the same guy pop up over and over again wherever I go."
no subject
Not the man she needs to kill on sight, surely, if he's talking about it calmly. Someone else, then.
no subject
no subject
Just tell her where they stand, Crichton.
no subject
"Nah... let him live." Knowing Braca, this place is probably a dream come true for him. "Thing is, I get the sense sometimes if we'd grown up in the same hometown, he'd have been someone I could go for drinks with back when I was still drinkin'. I saw something... good in him, that never got the chance to grow. He never did more to me than he had to. He was never cruel, just impersonal."
no subject
"A man who just got into the wrong side of things, in the end. It's almost a shame you're still opposing each other here. You could finally have a talk with him for real." Her eyes flick down to the still very suspicious cake. "Though perhaps over some meal more appetizing than that. That's hardly going to do for building bridges."
no subject
He snorts and sticks a finger in the frosting. Then he pulls a disgusted face. "What the hell? This thing is even worse than I thought. It's made of... food cubes?"
no subject
Important questions, when discussing strange cakes.
no subject
no subject
There's several different expressions that go across her face while she processes the taste. And then she sets the rest of the cube back on the plate.
"No, that's...I'd eat it, but not if there were more appealing options."
no subject
"Yeah, that about sums it up. I ate plenty of 'em because it was that or starve, but what I'd really kill for is a pizza with all the toppings." Crichton. Phrasing??
