Murder Mysterium - Night 3, Conservatory

[ SENSITIV and NECROMANTIC enter.

Outside the domed glass of the conservatory, night has fallen. The sky here is dark, clouded over with clouds so low as to feel claustrophobic-- the sort of weather and sort of place where a conservatory to retreat to would be welcome, to feel some sort of warmth that the sky stubbornly refuses to provide. Efforts have been made to make the place seem as bright and airy as possible, despite this: the sunburst pattern in the metal framework, the greening copper giving the place some brightness where wrought iron would make the place feel like a cage. Green and gold tiles circle an artificial pond, encircled themselves by shelves, lined with pots, overflowing with devil's ivy. Citrus perfumes the air. A small tea-table has been set up, with chairs for two or three to retreat to.

Beyond the usual decor of the room, several bladed weapons are embedded in the floors and walls—easily within access for anyone who wants to pull the weapons out and fight.

sensitIV will find the weapons heavier to use, however, regardless of their proficiency in them. Everyone in the room knows this: before the dawn comes, sensitIV will die. Even if it is not directly by necROMANTIC's hand, sensitIV lost the moment they entered. ]

With that other team... the doctors, right? Tenshi?
mathphysicsandzzz: (doing experimence on me)

[personal profile] mathphysicsandzzz 2021-05-17 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right. It's a good thing you ended up killing us and not them!
stayathome: (i don't fear it anymore)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I see... then you're not scared?
mathphysicsandzzz: (Upgrade to Runninng Band)

[personal profile] mathphysicsandzzz 2021-05-17 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm scared for 10IV, since we won't be able to help them now.
stayathome: (i'm sure)

1/2

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
... I see. You really care about then, huh?
stayathome: (But then something)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
... [ !!! IDEA! ]

What if we promise to protect them in your stead? Do you think they would agree to that?
mathphysicsandzzz: (cursed by a malevolent warlock at birth)

[personal profile] mathphysicsandzzz 2021-05-17 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
...They might, if you pass on a message from us.
stayathome: (and suddenly)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd be happy to do that. [ smiles, actually seeming very comfortable with this idea ]

I may not know them... but if I'm protecting them, then at least I will feel like I'm doing something worthwhile here.
mathphysicsandzzz: (you can't spell "pleasant" without "ant")

If you tell Nageki that Hitori sent you, he'll know you really made an agreement with us.
stayathome: (i don't fear it anymore)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 09:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hitori... that's your name? I don't know which one is Nageki, though.
mathphysicsandzzz: (NO NO NO NO NO I WANT TO GET OFF THIS RI)

[personal profile] mathphysicsandzzz 2021-05-17 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
He's the boy with green hair.

[pauses]

Ah, but... if the others vote you out, you won't be able to help.
stayathome: (shouldn't it come to you naturally?)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, him. I remember him. ... [ he's not going to say "he seemed really depressing" out loud, but man he was really depressing. ]

That's a problem though yeah... so far every murderer has been sniffed out easily because of the clues. I would have to ask your team to purposefully lead the others off-track. ... but then that would mean your loss.
mathphysicsandzzz: (display it in your own garbage pile)

[personal profile] mathphysicsandzzz 2021-05-17 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...So we'll have to make sure some unit other than you or 10IV is chosen.
stayathome: (you're losing your gift)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
... I don't like that much, either. But... it seems like the only way to make this happen. And I honestly don't want to lose, either.
mathphysicsandzzz: (pull out last night's homework)

[personal profile] mathphysicsandzzz 2021-05-17 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine. This isn't an ideal outcome at all, but we'll just have to make the best of it.
stayathome: (must have changed within me)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-17 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ bows low, ] Thank you for this opportunity. I promise you, we'll protect 10iv to the very end.
mathphysicsandzzz: (3500 year old gummy bear)

[personal profile] mathphysicsandzzz 2021-05-17 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[bows in return]

If you do protect them, I'll be the one indebted to you all.
