Murder Mysterium - Day 3

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. ]

RULES | CHEATSHEET | DAY/NIGHT CYCLES | LOGISTICS & WINNING | ROOMS

That is very kind, but aside from my pride, I am uninjured. I would not mind some company though?
heavyliesthecrown: (Unsure about that...)

[ He'll take a seat on the edge of the fountain, then. ]

No. I wouldn't mind some right now either, truthfully.
tothosewhobait: (We don't need nobody)

It's a rough time. I was warned about games and yet....
heavyliesthecrown: (Kasa sad)

My baby cousin's unit was the first convicted, so I have found myself fairly distraught over the event. And now one of my good friends.

[ He closes his eyes. ]

I would like to say that it gets easier, but- that would be a lie. I think if we were to lose how upsetting the games are, it would be because we have lost something integral to our humanity.

[ Ah-- ]

That is... something that makes us all universally able to empathize with one another, and true to ourselves.

[ Since he isn't human. But hopefully, he understands the meaning behind his words. ]

What I try to remember about the games, is that every single person present is simply trying to survive. No one person can be faulted for that. The ones responsible for all of this- the ones who enjoy cruelly pitting us against one another are the producers of this production. And watching us break, or hurt the people we love...or come to resent a team or person, gives them exactly what they want.

It does not make the game easier. They are still frightening and painful.

[ He's covered in the injuries from the last two rounds still, as though evidence of this very fact. ]

But... it helps to remember when facing everyone else here, that they are feeling the same way, too.
tothosewhobait: (The right allocations)

Eloquently said... Mm, I can't say I would fault anyone were I to die. After all, truly, we are all just trying to live.
heavyliesthecrown: (Aftermath dokis)

I can imagine, though, that the situation feels that much more fraught for those of you on the temporary units.
tothosewhobait: (Y'might not wanna lose your power)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-17 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
...thank you. We are in a very unique and stressful position. Though I'm sure the permanent teams struggle terribly too. I do not envy you.
heavyliesthecrown: (Difficult moment)

[personal profile] heavyliesthecrown 2021-05-17 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
What will happen to you all if...

[ . . . ]

Where... will you go?
tothosewhobait: (No wonder why you didn't ask)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-17 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
I cannot discuss those details. It is not good though.
heavyliesthecrown: (Feeling down)

[personal profile] heavyliesthecrown 2021-05-17 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . ]

Then. How many of your units have the chance to leave? One for sure, certainly. But are two given the same luxury?
tothosewhobait: (I'd fool around and have a ball)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-17 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
We are not really allowed to discuss the details of our presence here. I am sorry, I know that is not particularly comforting.
heavyliesthecrown: (Not my look)

[personal profile] heavyliesthecrown 2021-05-17 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Shaking his head. ]

It isn't your fault if that is the way it is. As much as I would like to know, I realize that your positions here are difficult. I will cease trying to pry further.
tothosewhobait: (Y'might not wanna lose your power)

[personal profile] tothosewhobait 2021-05-17 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
That's very kind of you.
heavyliesthecrown: (Chivalric Order)

[personal profile] heavyliesthecrown 2021-05-21 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
I wish you luck in your future endeavors, at the very least.
