Murder Mysterium - Night 1, Wine Cellar

[idolpro]

[ SENSITIV and 10IV enter.

A chill air circulates through the wine cellar, resembling more of a vault than a vineyard’s storage. There are no wooden kegs, but instead crystalline glass cases hold row upon row of bottles of wine and champagne, held in place by golden pegs. Beneath waist-height are polished metal drawers and cabinets, with all the accoutrements necessary for enjoying the cellar’s wares. Everything has a keyhole, indicating that the place could be locked up tight-- for all that nothing is, right now. Right now, it’s opened for business, ready to entertain. Leather armchairs have been dragged from somewhere, arrayed in a circle facing inwards as if over some unseen conference table. It does little to make the place seem like a genuine entertainment area, crowding the cell without alleviating the stark impression the place gives off.

Beyond the usual decor, there's little else. It's just you guys here. ]

I like your idea for using numbers for locations. And perhaps shapes if, for some reason, either of us have to change how we play?

[lionhurt]

They're already numbered on the list, though? So we can just say, like, last night minus three or plus or whatever.

[softmarketing]

Oh, that's right. So you intend to keep up with this way of playing for as long as possible?

[lionhurt]

Who knows. Maybe everyone else will be dead tomorrow and we won't have to game it out. But it works fine for now, so.

[softmarketing]

It would be terribly convenient, if somewhat tragic. But very well.

[lionhurt]

You're saying it like you were looking forward to getting killed?

[softmarketing]

Oh, did I give that impression? [ Whoops. ] ...Well, while I'm not eager to die, I can't say dying by itself scares me in particular any more.

I meant that it would be convenient if the game simply ended by the next round with a majority of the other unit's deaths, for at least then we'll be spared the drama of people playing detective and the accusations that will almost certainly ensue.

[lionhurt]

I super don't see how dying is preferable to sitting through a q&a session. Even if you're not scared, that's a ton of death?
