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
There's a good chance they were never there to start with. But also knowing this place, someone might have pulled that from the shelves before Siffleur could dehydrate himself and aerosolize the results.
no subject
no subject
"Figures his name would be Kevin. No wonder he wants us to use numbers. Kevin. I've known plenty of them, and they were all fucking assholes."
no subject
He can't help but to laugh. "Valdis did it. She started calling him Kevin. He renamed us, she renamed him. He doesn't like it one bit. Turns his tiny face red."
no subject
Siffleur snorts. "Good. She'll give him hell. Fucking asshole deserves everything she dishes out."
no subject
Ash stands up. "My clothes don't change with me. You mind if I leave my stuff here? When I changed in the woods someone moved my shit."
no subject
Siffleur nods and gestures for Ash to go ahead and put his stuff on the dresser. "Knock yourself out. I keep having to remember to take it off. I usually just let it get ripped up since I can grab a change from the TB's."
Speaking of which, he finally stubs out his cigarette in the very retro ashtray included in this bygone childhood memory and stands up, stripping off his shirt. "They're not replacing that shit nearly as fast here."
no subject
"Fucking khakis." Ash is pretty quick about getting undressed. He does neatly fold his clothes and set them aside before walking out the door. As soon as he is out of the house he changes forms into the horse sized gray wolf.
no subject
He drops his pants, leaving them on the carpet and transforms as he walks to the door, bones breaking and skin ripping apart, fur sprouting over him. By the time he hits the doorway, he's on all fours in cougar form, trotting out the door to join the horse-sized Ash.
As always, he's glad he never had to face down wolves this size back home. He grins (much as a cat does) and takes off running, leading the way - at least, until Ash overtakes him. Big strides, after all.
