Murder Mysterium - Day 3

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower
When: TBD - Day 3

[ When morning comes, you find yourselves more than freed from your rooms—you're completely kicked out of the mansion. You may access the twin garden mazes, 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. Players should comment to relevant private threads that are being eavesdropped.

But before you run off to discuss, you'll want to gather around the fountain (mind the executed bodies). Its water's stopped, though rather than any stillness in water you can instead see . . . murder.

The details of each murder, as well as the rules, are 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. ]

THE CASE OF ALCHEME!

[idolpro]

THE DETAILS

[idolpro]

[ You can see the reflection on the surface of the water: the members of AlcheME!, or rather what remains of their corpses, in the Conservatory. The room is also pretty destroyed.

The motive is scrawled on the bottom in blood red:

In order to die

This information is now available on your phone in the following format: ]

Victim: AlcheME!
Location: Conservatory
Weapon: Explosives
Killer's motive: In order to die

Q&A FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE

[idolpro]

[ You are allowed one question per living unit. Speak to the pool, and you'll get an answer back.

. . . But the answer might not be what you expect it to be.

Only the questioning unit may see the answer given. ]

VERDICT

[idolpro]

[ The votes are in:

0 - No one: 1 vote
9 - Heart Soldier Senshi: 1 vote
15 - necROMANTIC: 1 vote
16 - sea.Di - 7 votes

sea.Di will be herded to the center of the gardens, where the fountain pool is. The victims’ bodies are still on display in the fountain’s water, but—there's nothing that could jump out of the fountain, right . . . ?

But you can hear the sound. Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick.

Those with trained ears can tell the sound isn't coming from the pool, but rather, the . . . the previously-executed bodies. Those are. Oh—



The ticking stops, and the whole garden flashes white.

sea.Di will find themselves whisked away to another place just in time. However, to everyone else’s eyes, they'll see the remains of the sea.Di members on the ground, in . . . chunks.

The mansion doors unlock. The night begins. ]

[ . . . . . . . . . ]

[scattershot]

... and AlcheME!, too? Oh, no.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey.

You doing okay?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Explosives already, huh?

Man, this is gonna be a time.

[scattershot]

[... that's the unit of the boy who said he was her brother.

[At least, wherever he may be now, he was spared this much.]

Whoever it is who did this, they have a powerful motivation to win.

[mercifulharvest]

...One, again. I see.

[tothosewhobait]

Are they trying to build some kind of sick anticipation?

[salientfacts]

Ah—you weren't troubled, I see.

[irregular]

All right, are you guys fuckin' happy now?

[nothingtomourn]

...We should come up with a question. It needs to be something that's easy to answer with pictures.

[agentgymstudent]

.....we need to ask a question that can rule out a lot of suspects.

Out of everyone here, you're going to be believed on what we get.

[skyshard]

[ winces slightly at the gorey reflection, shoving his hands into the pockets of his bomber jacket as he tries to stave off a shudder of nerves.

Just killing people apparently wasn't enough for at least one Unit. ]

Ugh.

A GROUP EXPERIMENT: results

[worldlyafflictions]

Well... Good news bad news on the experiment?

[Looking toward Bad End]

Re: A GROUP EXPERIMENT: results

[widenessofthesea]

Well—we were in the bedroom, but it turned out we were alone. So it's not the worst result, but it has a lot of implications.

[protectshisown]

[On one hand, success.]

[Other hand-]

[Skylark.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey.

I didn't see you last round.

Welcome to the party, I guess.

[stayathome]

[ SIGHS!! ]

Alright, once again... where was everyone? What alliances were formed? NecROMANCER was alone in the Cloak Room. We don't have any alliances, and we know that it's suspicious, so if that's all you have to say I reserve the right to kick your ass.

[crossmyheartandhope]

We were hanging out with Avante again.

[tothosewhobait]

[Powers are OFF which means there is an ACTUAL MERPERSON being carried by his teammates because bitch don't got legs]

[rolebreaker]

[ hello he is teammate. you may know him from such classics as "the guy who burned his own clothes and called it a roast".

anyways, he's finally making himself useful this game by carrying one half of the tentacled mess. a few are probably wrapped around him. it's fine. ]

[junkheap]

[this idiot was not here before but he is now?? He's looking down at the reflection with exasperation.]

But I don't care about mysteries... Why can't we just kill everyone and go?

[stayathome]

"Everyone" is a bit much, but..... [ i mean he can't UNagree... ]

[purrrnicious]

[Looking out for Zrael, not paying a lot of attention to the rest of this until she’s confirmed Sabre is safe.]

[hissterics]

[ SHE'S HERE.

Mostly looking antsy, tail flicking back and forth -- but way calmer than she was last round, for obvious reasons.

She heads right over when she spots Kohime. ]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Izanagi's hanging around among the crowd this time! His hair is bleached white and his eyes are red thanks to contacts, along with the LiliS outfit to further disguise himself, but... he can be located, especially by those with a keen eye.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Hey... you got a sec?

A GROUP EXPERIMENT: PART 2

[vitainmorte]

In continuing Pink's plan, here are the rooms to avoid for this round, if you would please:

Billiards Room.
The Study.
The Lounge.
And the Garage, for safety reasons.

Entering any one of these rooms will potentially kill the entrant, so it would be lovely if you all could cooperate and avoid this as much as you are able. Should any one of the units cooperating be killed, it will be that much quicker to suss out.

Thank you for your time.

Re: A GROUP EXPERIMENT: PART 2

[bondsofsuffering]

Got it. I'll let the others know.

[hissterics]

[ The frantic energy from last round is gone, replaced by something more detached.

She looks at the results and watches the proceedings with a flicking tail, when she's not hunting down her people. ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey. You got a sec?
