WILD CITY

[idolpro]

[ Minus your missing unitmate, you emerge in this room. There's enough room for your whole team to crowd into a booth, and discuss and speculate on your missing unitmate's predicament. After all, the rules displaying on your phone has just informed you that it's up to you to figure out what happened to them, and their fate hangs in the balance of just how well you can figure it out in time.

A little hourglass in the center of the table informs you of each ten minutes that passes. It sits next to a "menu"-- a list of 36 possible terrible things, three of which are happening to your unitmate, right now. ]

[ An image ]

Drowning is seeming more and more likely...

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

Then let's see if we can narrow down the others.

[ blinking at the clown gate ]

That's... a thing.

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

That's...unsettling. It is about objects, so perhaps the toys...?

So... maybe shellfish?

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

Maybe? Toys, drowning, and shellfish?

... I am certain about the risk of drowning, but we should confirm the other two.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

Do we wanna use our last two yes/no questions for that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

...I think we need to use at least one of them. I would prefer to ask about the shellfish first, and we can decide whether to use the second yes/no once we have that answer. If he says no, we can return to open ended questions to try to identify the true third danger.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

[ considers it and nods ]

Yeah, alright, sounds like a plan.

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

I'll ask this time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

So, we can get some shrimp after the game then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

Hah.

[ Going back to look at the restaurant(???) picture ]

Perhaps the sign is the important part of this. You asked what there is to eat, and he sent an image with a word meaning forbidden.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

--Starvation.

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

Yes. Starvation and drowning, and perhaps the toys.

We have one yes/no question remaining. Before we use it, are there any other broad questions you can think of to ask?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

It's hard, trying to figure out ways to ask these questions.

Maybe we could ask if there's any toys around? Or something like that?

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

That would use one of the yes/no questions. ...We could ask how many? He may be able to give us an image suggesting 'none' if we're wrong.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

That one is definitely better. I can ask it, if you want.

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

Go ahead.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

The dock again...

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

It's empty. No toys.

[ Going back to the weird clown gate image to...stare at it... ]

Maybe he was trying to indicate the people in this picture? Instead of the bizarre gate.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

[ lets out a frustrated groan as he rakes his hands through his hair ]

--Time of day? We could eliminate the moonlight one that way.

Re: DISCUSSION

[iamverybadass]

—Yes. There won't be vampires in the daylight either.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollyourluck]

ALright, I'll ask that.
