Murder Mysterium - Day 4

[idolpro]

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower
When: TBD - Day 2

[ 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 SENSITIV

[idolpro]

THE DETAILS

[idolpro]

[ You can see the reflection on the surface of the water: the members of sensitIV, or rather their corpses, in the Conservatory. Strewn about the room are also blades.

The motive is scrawled on the bottom in blood red:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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

Victim: sensitIV
Location: Conservatory
Weapon: Blades
Killer's motive: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

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. Ghosts, please hotlink the images instead of embedding them. ]

0 - No one: 8 votes

The mansion doors unlock. The night begins. ]

A SPECIAL MESSAGE

[idolpro]

[ You additionally receive a message on your phone: ]

PATCH UPDATE:
☆ Explosives can now be remotely sent. Units may choose a different room to enter from the room they send an explosive to.
☆ If the unit enters a room with another unit that has a weapon, the armed unit will die.
☆ If the unit enters a room with another unit that has no weapon, the explosives will go to a different room.
☆ If there are more than two units in the room, the explosives will kill everyone in the room except for the explosives-using unit.
☆ If the explosives enter an empty room, that room will be destroyed.

Thank you for your continued support of this game.

[ The rules have been updated with this addendum. ]

[WELL FUCK]

[irregular]

Shit.

... now what?

[stayathome]

... I suppose it's rude to ask "what happened", but... What happened?

[nothingtomourn]

[Nageki.exe has crashed, please reboot. To say he looks horrified would be an understatement.

On an OOC note, since the player also has a character in sIV + chores today please limit threads to emotional responses rather than problem solving because I will not/cannot be available for that, thank you!]

[irregular]

But we were in the Conservatory. Who the fuck did they meet?

Christ. How?

[stayathome]

[ .......... ooooh boy now does not seem like The Time, but. ]

I'm sorry... but Hitori told me to talk to you.

[agentgymstudent]

[Okay, he's just]

[Going to guide Nageki away from seeing the fountain.]

[scattershot]

Have we actually established what happens to the units we've lost? If they're able to receive our messages, they have to be in a condition to do so.

That being the case, where are they? Mayhap the game is continuing elsewhere.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... we got that answer to what we asked last time, yeah?

If anyone can make heads or tails of it.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Rrreading through the explosives stuff]

Man, weren't there enough rules already?

[irregular]

Guess we aren't dropping fast enough for their tastes, huh.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Welp. All the people and units he wanted to protect now are dead. ]

Tweaking the rules because people are not dying fast enough for their liking.

[leaveofabsence]

It seems they are attempting to make this game even more violent.

[worldlyafflictions]

[Pink attempts to get lost in the hedge maze several times but for some reason doesn't succeed.]

[worldlyafflictions]

[Pink has flopped somewhere (away from the fountain and the Worrying Bits) in defeat]

[skyshard]

[ FLOPS DOWN NEXT TO BECAUSE THIS MUST BE THE REST STOP. ]

[worldlyafflictions]

[o to be a stabbed unit instead of an exploded one right now...]

So probably lettin' it be possible ta do a 100% no weapons round is a taunt at this point. Still didn't remove it entirely though, so that's, y'know... [waves hands]



But also.

...There's gonna be eight units standing if we don't count the lucky shits who aren't here, and the poor bastards we end up executing today.

Also, there's nine rooms left...

...

Thinking out loud here--if we all pick the same room 'n bring explosives ta blow up every other room in the manor, would the game end or would they just have us Battle Royale it out?

[irregular]

You want a rerun of that stupid mansion game?

[protectshisown]

Really have no patience for the game, huh?

[Well, they're definitely not gonna get trapped here then.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Looks like it.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ All the units he wanted to protect are dead. So that's great. He's mostly irritated by this point. ]

Things weren't moving quickly enough for them.

[scattershot]

'twould appear so. Only one unit death a night must be so terribly boring for the audience at home.

OOPS ALL DYNAMITE

[worldlyafflictions]

[OKAY after a bunch of chatting people up about what they're hesitant about]

Alright since this is pretty much an all or nothing plan, we're gonna have ta publicly get everybody's buy in. If we don't get everybody here right now, we're callin' it off. So hand up if ya'd be in on the condition that everybody's in.

WILD CITY

[childeishly]

[ checking in. ]

EXECUTION OR MERCY???

[worldlyafflictions]

Ok and while we're on all this. uh, honestly, is there any unit who'd rather take a bunch of swords now 'n avoid uh... [waves hand] fuckin' around 'n finding out? Otherwise we might as well vote 'no one' for killer this round.

Re: EXECUTION OR MERCY???

[crossmyheartandhope]

We were gonna do no one, anyways.
