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. ]

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.

[irregular]

What, like 'who did this'?

[nothingtomourn]

Like "what was the unit color?"

[irregular]

Shit. Yeah. That's a good one.

[nothingtomourn]

If we ask Khonsu, we can work with sensitIV to ask different questions to narrow it down. We both know our units our innocent, so there isn't a reason for either of us to lie about the results.

[irregular]

Yeah. Yeah, that's true...

[Deep breath.

[At least someone here has kept a clearer head.]

Then - we do color. What should they do?

[nothingtomourn]

..."Aesthetic" might be more useful if we can combine it with color. "New or old" unit only works if they have access to a picture that can clearly convey that.

[irregular]

So, color and aesthetic? As two questions, I mean.

[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.

[irregular]

Someone did 'color' last time, maybe we should--I what?

[agentgymstudent]

You were on Alcheme. You have an easily understood investment.

Color would be good. There's only so much overlap.

If you have any you trust here, we can also recruit them for narrowing it down further.

[irregular]

Mostly I trusted Skylark. Fuck!

[He finds something to kick. Kicks it.]

Christ. Might be able to get something out of sensitIV, now Kaguya's back... maybe Heart Soldier, too.

[agentgymstudent]

[Nodnod.]

...any idea on Wild City? Tea said Scone had been on their until recently.

[irregular]

Maybe?

[Talon. It was definitely Talon.

[That's the catch.]

I... dunno how far I trust 'em. I guess they'd have no reason to bullshit about this?

[agentgymstudent]

We can take what they say with a grain of salt.

[irregular]

Well, we got a clue back, at least.

[It might even be pretty useful.]

Looking a lot like sea.di, from this.

[protectshisown]

What question do you want us to ask?

[Listen, he knows K was on Alcheme and WHO DOESN'T LOVE ALCHEME, of course he can trust their team person.]

[And that reaction says probably not Another Twin.]

[irregular]

Huh? Oh, Rye...

[He tries to smile.]

We got 'color' covered and we're gonna ask sensitIV about aesthetics... old or new unit's kinda hard to do in pictures. I guess that's where we came unstuck last time.

[protectshisown]

[He nods.] Might need a quantifier, but it'd only be a choice between two new units anyway.

If we need to narrow it down more, we got our question.

[Because if he lets Alcheme be dead, his team will be sad, and he will also hate himself, SO]

[irregular]

I can tell you for a fact we didn't fuckin' do it. YOU-kai's already out. So if it's another one of the newbies, it's sea.Di or Necromancer or Necrodancer or whatever they're called and I don't like Necrodancer for it.

[protectshisown]

I imagine there would be a lot less angry and a lot more horror, yeah.

Did you already get your answer?

[irregular]

Yeah. Big orange octopus thing. And - Christ, if it had been us I'd have thrown us to the wolves myself.

[protectshisown]

....well, that is very telling if you just asked who the unit was.

[irregular]

I asked about the color, but maybe they went for a twofer. There was a bunch of red and browns and stuff too, but Taisho weren't playing and the only people I can see Heart Soldier willingly blowing up is themselves.
