#dangancarnival

A student of unique talents, you are accepted to attend a very prestigious Academy! You’ve waited so long to hear you were noticed, and the day has finally come! At least, that’s what you think until you wake up in an eerie looking fair ground. On your person lies a card that identifies a specific sin (of the 7 deadly sins). What is this on about?  Who are the others lying there?  As you begin to walk around, the area in itself seems harmless at best. The clowns and mascots point you to any which way you must go, the signs also offer clear directions. There’s even a dining room, which is free to special guests! As you glance at your ticket again, you notice that you are more than a mere ‘special’ guest, but part of the show as well! And the show must go on, as they say!  At the same token, there’s something off about this place. There are guests who aren’t students, but they cannot see you if you accidentally bump into them. Furthermore, they are faceless. Like one’s own shadow, following behind without reason. If that wasn’t enough, when you attempt to pull the gates at the front loose, a few very stern looking guards pull you away. They explain that you can’t escape. Not until you go to the main attraction! Said main attraction is supposed to show up in a good 5 minutes, so you’d better hurry! You don’t want to lose a seat, do you? Besides, it would be rather rude to skip something that you, as a guest were offered for free, correct?  …At the same time, as you walk towards this ‘show’, the hostile manner at which the guards kept you from escaping has left you unnerved. Why do they need you to see this show so badly? Why are they keeping you here?  So yes…this will be an interesting rp with elements of Dangan Ronpa, The Devil’s Carnival, Aesop’s Fables and the seven deadly sins. Will you help us create a story?

Getting down he re-joined the others, thrusting a tin cup of change into the air to finish the arch as they all giggled behind their hands, or right in the faces of the kids passing by…

(OOC: The first trial is soon, this Friday really! Presently there isn't a decided time but for now try to keep that date open! If we can figure out a precise time we'll let you know!)

He went out into the hallway a bit of the way, on guard and saw some people in the hallway nearby. He stood there leaning against the wall, near his door observing the people down the hall for their behavior. He noticed they were talking about weapons. He then walked over to one of them and said sternly, not feeling as tired anymore "So I take it you have a weapon as well now?" he asks questioningly waiting for the persons reply.

A good hour or two passed. Upon Yoite Kasai's mention of it, a group of carnies in various clown costumes danced around the carousel! Their laughter fell upon the ears of every student in the area as they arrived. One of them, a clown with a sad expression, turned the carousel off. Even as one event ended, a new event was about to begin! After all, they were at a carnival. Could the 'fun' really end there?! As soon as the ride stopped, the carnies began to uncuff those who were still on the ride. To those who weren't cuffed any longer however, the carnies felt the need to antagonize them! Do you really think you could escape without their notice? You're the special guests, after all! Everyone has their eye on you! Those few who managed to escape the carousel prematurely received envelopes that had 'Loser' written in blood red ink.  As for those cuffed, they received an enveloped that had the words 'winner' written in blood red ink. What the hell separated the two, exactly? Winners and Losers of what? If you asked a carnies, they might answer, but of course, they could also be lying. Could you take a bunch of crazy antagonizing carnies that seriously?  Regardless of 'winner' or 'loser' status, you find a pair of keys labeled 'bedrooms', as well as your electronic student id card from Hope's Peak. The only difference of course, is that these now have nothing but the carnival rules:  1) You will not be permitted to leave.  2) The only way one could leave is if you successfully become a carnie yourself, or kill another student without issue 3) You may notice that something precious to you is lost. Do not be alarmed! It is missing because you haven't earned it yet, but your things are safely in our possession.  4) We have cut off all forms of communication. Don't even try to ask for help.  5) More rules may apply.  The carnies were there still, displaying different expressions each. They would have more instruction, but good luck having a serious conversation with them.  And now everything has really started, more or less! Another event should come shortly. If you wish to address any carnie, please send an ask to the ask box. We will get to it shortly. Please write an open, reacting to this event, but do not reblog this. And yes: You may continue current threads.

There were fourteen students in all. Fourteen young adults who were all invited to spend a day at the biggest attraction near Hope's Peak Academy: A carnival, meant to amaze! The carnival known as The Apelpisía! Once every year in the fall, this carnival came to town, near Hope's Peak in order to wow their audience! Even so, like the school, only a select class were ever invited to attend.  Rumor had it that these people were selected by top scores at school. Others would say that it depended upon their Super High School Level Title. Whatever the case, this was a tradition, which went on ever since the school was open to special Super High School Level Students. Was this a treat to those who worked hard, or a trick for those who were unfaithful to the school? Well, hopefully this new batch of students would find out!  The fourteen woke up to flashing lights and loud sound on a carousel. Each had a ticket in their pocket, along with a specific sin. As they awoke, many were alarmed, while some may have even appreciated this situation. They had memories of the school, but not of the students sitting on separate porcelain horses around them. And of course, they had no memories of how they came to be here either, save for the opportunity to attend alone.  But how would they react? Would everything be alright? Oh, and wait a minute! Why the hell were they handcuffed to the damned horses?  Welcome Students, to the Dangan's Carnival! Here's your mission, if you choose to accept it:  In a separate post, introduce yourselves to the others, react to your predicament. Will your character react violently or try to keep it calm?  Please tag your opens as carnivalopen or dcintro. We'll let you know as we add more tags!

After looking at the chars sins so far, we found that we have too many of certain sins. We'll discuss what needs to be changed tomorrow afternoon or so however, so please don't feel discouraged or anything. All will be fine! <3  ~Brekkie
