Murder Mysterium - Night 2, Lounge

[idolpro]

[ SENSITIV and 10IV enter.

Through the lounge’s golden lamps, the place looks to be preserved in amber. The chaise lounges and armchairs scattered about speak to an earlier age, but they show no wear from the time that’s passed. Everything shines, the side tables and the glasses atop them gleaming. The drinks cabinet is full of bottles and decanters, filled with liquids. At the far end of the room the wood steps up twice to a rounded stage, just large enough for a grand piano and a bench seat.

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

Comments

[ why is it alchohol again.

he's subdued and not commenting on it aloud though, after seeing YOU-kai's execution. he's just taking a seat on the piano bench, away from the armchairs and the drinks cabinet ]

[sunflowering]

[ Taking a seat beside him. ]

Doing alright?

[lionhurt]

[ piano benches will easily seat two, so he doesn't need to scoot to make room. ]

I mean, we got what we wanted.

[bondsofsuffering]

Doing okay over there?

[lionhurt]

Everything went exactly like it was supposed to?

[ plinks a key and then swings his legs back over to face the rest of the room ]

Wild City's firmly avoiding us, by the way. I got told what rooms to avoid to avoid them tonight. When this is all over we should like, work out a code with them.

[ time to talk about things that like, actually matter instead ]

[agentgymstudent]

....so, you play?

[mathphysicsandzzz]

[ONCE AGAIN SIGHING WITH RELIEF]

[nothingtomourn]

[Looks like it's quality non-murder time with bro again.]

[mathphysicsandzzz]

Hopefully we'll be able to keep this up through the whole game.

[agentgymstudent]

[Hello, he's here too.]

[He'll wave. Because making? Friends???]

[mathphysicsandzzz]

[waves back!]

[sunflowering]

I'd say we have a pretty good partnership going so far.

[irregular]

Kaguya...? Weren't you on Taisho? When'd you get back?

1/2

[sunflowering]

[ Blinks ]

. . . K-kun?

[ She could ask him the same thing. . . ]

2/2

[sunflowering]

[ . . . ]

Yeah. I was, but...

[ Aha. ]

I arrived back just the other day. And apparently, the producers didn't see fit to put me back on my proper team.

[nothingtomourn]

Thank you for agreeing to meet with us again.

[sunflowering]

Of course. I'm glad that we've been able to help. It will be nice if we can both make it through this untouched, right?

[agentgymstudent]

It seems so.

[irregular]

[Oh, hey, booze.

[K decides he's probably going to need it before all this is over.]

[nothingtomourn]

[He's staying by Khonsu but also watching like. You okay or.]

[salientfacts]

Ah, safe again...

...I suppose if the number of rooms keeps reducing it'll be difficult to keep this up, but I still appreciate it.

[irregular]

Thought it'd be something like that. They ain't gonna be happy without their pound of flesh. If we ain't giving it to 'em, just switch things up 'til we do.

[lionhurt]

Ugh. I super don't want to do the thing where we both bring weapons, though?

[bondsofsuffering]

Besides listening to see who might have committed the murder, we should try listening to see if people are talking about their arrangements so we can avoid them. Although I had to sit that last trial out, so even I'm not sure how feasible it is in practice...

DAWN

[ The door unlocks. Everyone is free to head on to the next day. ]
