Murder Mysterium - Night 1, Wine Cellar

[ 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: (As if... beckoning to me to come closer)

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

Oh, that's right. So you intend to keep up with this way of playing for as long as possible?
lionhurt: (Are you ready? Here we go)

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.

It would be terribly convenient, if somewhat tragic. But very well.
lionhurt: (Together with this sword)

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

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: ((Who you wearing?))

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?
