Murder Mysterium - Day 1

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower
When: TBD - Day 1

[ When you come to the Game Tower, you find yourself in front of a large mansion couched in between two large garden mazes, and though you're not told to step inside the mansion yet you're free to roam around the gardens. Encouraged, even—there are alcoves in the gardens with flowers wrapping around the gates that are to your unit's color, and upon entering them you'll be able to speak to your unitmates without fear of being overheard, as though there were some sort of soundproofing barrier. You may only enter your unit-specific alcove. There are also plenty of other non-unit specific alcoves for you to enter and converse with someone, but it won't be entirely private—these pockets don't have soundproofing.

The rules are already available on your phones, and in fact, that and the photos app are the only things you can access on your phone right now. Your powers are off too, although you were allowed to bring whatever items are ordinarily on your person—provided they aren't any weapons.

Incidentally, your clothes have just changed in general—they're now distinctly early 1900s Americana, ranging anywhere from the Roaring 20s (Great Gadsby party-chic, flapper dresses, vintage and mobster suits) to Golden Age 30s (Hollywood regency glamour) to WWII 40s (bomber jackets, furcoats, oversized winter coats, sweatervests).

The game starts now. ]

ADDENDUM #1

[idolpro]

IF you are intending to have your character eavesdrop on information that's given in the Day cycles, PLEASE make comment to the relevant thread. Otherwise, please do not assume your character just Knows that information, and please do not make decisions based off of OOC knowledge that isn't ICly known.

Since this IS a murder mystery game, please try your very rubesty to not infomod. We're working on an honor system here and we understand accidents happen, but if we find out that people are intentionally info modding, you will be kicked from the game.

ADDENDUM #2

[idolpro]

☆ Explosives can now be remotely sent. Units may choose a different room to enter from the room they send an explosive to.
☆ If the unit enters a room with another unit that has a weapon, the armed unit will die.
☆ If the unit enters a room with another unit that has no weapon, the explosives will go to a different room.
☆ If there are more than two units in the room, the explosives will kill everyone in the room except for the explosives-using unit.
☆ If the explosives enter an empty room, that room will be destroyed.

NIGHTS

[idolpro]

[lionhurt]

So, who wants an alibi tomorrow? Let's plan a sleepover. 10IV gets first dibs, courtesy Kon-kun's request.

[salientfacts]

Ah, do you know someone on our unit...?

[stayathome]

-- what, you can just do that? Really? What if they stab you in the back?

[heavyliesthecrown]

I do hope that turns out to be a good strategy for you.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[About halfway through the first day, HSS is making a WHOLE lot of noise outside their alcove, calling for the other teams to come out]

[When everyone does:]

Hey. So.

We been talking. The long and short of it is, it sounds like the best way for everyone to come out on top in this one is for everyone to go in empty-handed.

If every team says they ain’t gonna bring a weapon, the whole round’s a tie and no one gets shanked.

[avestan]

Isn't it a bit late for this now? There's no way at least a couple units haven't already picked a weapon.

[sunflowering]

While I agree with that... and I'm not wanting to harm anyone, of course. If we do this every round, I don't think the game will end without them introducing new terms. Or forcing our hands in some way.

I'm not saying 'no'. Only that I'm unsure how viable this solution would be in the long run. Or that others haven't already chosen weapons and rooms.

[vitainmorte]

...

With how willing others are to attack certain units, even though we cannot choose properly, I'm not certain this is a realistic option.

Not accounting for those who have already chosen weapons.

[unbr8kable]

...

[heavenlyvisitor]

...

Haven't you been here since the very beginning?

You know that isn't how this works.

[overworker]

...I want this to be the answer. But realistically I don’t think...

I don’t think it’s reliable. I think there are units who won’t be able to put faith in something like this. Especially with the guest units involved...

[asonoficeandfire]

I know some units won't follow this.

[inspiteful]

[ Hey so, there's a lone AlcheME out in the common area. He seems to be looking for certain people in particular, so if you're a You-kai he'll approach.

That said, if anyone else wants to talk to him he's not going to ignore them either. ]

[caniscorde]

[ ah, ]

Good timing. Has your unit come to a decision?

[hissterics]

[ ON THE PROWL for any and all fins or avantes, thanks. ]

[asonoficeandfire]

[hi I'm a fin]

[childeishly]

How in~ter~esting~

[skyshard]

[ oh boy here we go. we will need a fire hose to clean Childe off. ]

[dumbjockenergy]

[ WONDERING IN LATE FROM THE GARDENS ]

Who makes a maze out of a garden?

[skyshard]

Garden Labyrinths are real popular, actually. Not so where you are from?
