Murder Mysterium - Day 1

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. ]

crossmyheartandhope: (And if we only die once)

What?

We did it once before, didn't we? We figured it out so no one got trashed.
avestan: (what is where and how is who.)

[personal profile] avestan 2021-05-15 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That's really cute. In like a sad way.
caniscorde: (I'm gonna make sure that you)

[personal profile] caniscorde 2021-05-15 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah, ]

Good timing. Has your unit come to a decision?
heavyliesthecrown: (Unsure about that...)

[personal profile] heavyliesthecrown 2021-05-15 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Skylark-kun--

[ Approaching. ]

Is there anyone else from your unit here with you?
crossmyheartandhope: (Are we drowning?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-15 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If people picked already, they still got time to change their minds.

And even the teams that're stab-happy gotta know it'll be better for everyone in the long run if no one gets hurt.

As opposed to just hoping random chance gets us through the night and then having no alibi for the next part? It sucks but it's a waaay smarter play than trying nothing.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just the image of our maker?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-15 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Naw, dude. Since I been here from the beginning, I know it did work once.

We don't get to talk to each other much, in games like these, but the last time they let us, we worked it out so no one got punished.

[she is a little stiffer around Cypress but]

We figured we’d try at least this round.
crossmyheartandhope: (I wanna die with you)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-15 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude, c'mon! You been here forever. You know this worked once!
scattershot: (✶ tenacity)

[personal profile] scattershot 2021-05-15 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's a reason to simply accept it? Because it's happened before?

...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...
sunflowering: Do not take (So many regrets)

[personal profile] sunflowering 2021-05-15 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not going to happen. They'll just change the rules. And no matter how frustrating it might be, there will definitely be some units who will string bring weapons to the table no matter what.

I don't think there's enough trust for that here.
asonoficeandfire: (5)

[personal profile] asonoficeandfire 2021-05-15 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I know some units won't follow this.
inspiteful: (Just show off; hate; betray!)

[personal profile] inspiteful 2021-05-15 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
A choice hasn't been made yet, since ... well, I'd like to check in with you guys, so that there isn't any accidental murder.
salientfacts: (confounded though immortal)

[personal profile] salientfacts 2021-05-15 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I will, then... just let me check with my colleague.

[ after a moment of conferencing, he returns and nods. ]

We'll do it. Thank you.
inspiteful: (pic#13795175)

[personal profile] inspiteful 2021-05-15 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope!
vitainmorte: (I'm talkin to you)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2021-05-15 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
We'll have to see, then.

For Lilis' safety, I cannot promise anything.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just the image of our maker?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-15 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, sure, we got some stab-happy teams.

But even they gotta know this'll work out better for everyone in the long run.

Sides, you know as well as I do - they've never changed the rules mid-game before.
heavenlyvisitor: (017)

[personal profile] heavenlyvisitor 2021-05-15 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
And you think that the Production is just going to allow that to happen, again?

This is their stage. If you try to cut your strings while acting on it, they'll use them to strangle you.
heavyliesthecrown: (Not my look)

[personal profile] heavyliesthecrown 2021-05-15 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I do hope that turns out to be a good strategy for you.
crossmyheartandhope: (Just the image of our maker?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-15 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, sure, we got some stab-happy teams.

But even they gotta know this'll work out better for everyone in the long run. No one wants to die.
vitainmorte: (trying to comfort me)

[personal profile] vitainmorte 2021-05-15 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
How will you convince the units who are here who cannot afford to lose? They aren't like us. And I have no intention of letting Lilis die, either.
heavenlyvisitor: (004)

[personal profile] heavenlyvisitor 2021-05-15 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Because we don't hold the power, here.

They can, and will change the rules halfway through to see us squirm.
crossmyheartandhope: (Calm)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-15 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
We got away with it once before.

They didn't give us another chance like this for a real long time, becuase we got away with it. But we got a chance now.
avestan: for rats before. (I guess I've never really blamed God)

[personal profile] avestan 2021-05-15 05:19 pm (UTC)(link)
The reason it worked then is 'cause my unitmates were willing to go along with it.

But what if it's just me playing this time?
