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. ]

[ 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

[ 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. ]

[ . . . . . . . . . ]

Explosives already, huh?

Man, this is gonna be a time.

...One, again. I see.

All right, are you guys fuckin' happy now?

Are they trying to build some kind of sick anticipation?

[ 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.

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

[Looking toward Bad End]

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.

[... 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.

There seems ta be several fucky things happening with regards ta grouping up...

Are they different bedrooms? What was the mural on the ceiling of?

[Slightly roughed up, but:]

It might be safer to just assume that only two units can share a room, or at the very least, two units with weapons.

It was... a city, set above dark water like a lake or an ocean, I believe. Was yours different?

Hm. In that case, that's good to know, since it changes some calculations—since in that case one unit could be telling the truth if they say they were in the same room as another, but alone.
