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. ]

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

If anyone can make heads or tails of it.

[scattershot]

Would you - would any of us object if we carried on with this line of questioning? I already know who killed sensitIV, and it was nobody here. I'd much rather know where the others have been taken.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I'm in if you are.

Like I said before, it ain't much of a whodunnit if the murders only happened cause of crappy luck, anyways.

[scattershot]

Absolutely. We hardly need the win.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I don't see anyone else around for this time, so - I guess we can turn in, if we wanna.

/2

[scattershot]

Very well. I'll let you know if we get something back.

[scattershot]

[She's back a few minutes later, and shows him this.]

What do you make of it? I was assuming it was a yes, but I'd really value your opinion.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Looks like a yes to me.

[scattershot]

Now what purpose would that serve, I wonder...?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Letting em all hang out together?

[scattershot]

But whatever for? Running commentary?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Must be more for the audience to wach, I guess.

[scattershot]

Speaking of which,. what do you make of this whole plan of - Pink's, was it? I confess it has its attractions, but I'm not certain it will work. Especially not if another unit chooses to abstain...

Wouldn't we effectively be sentencing that unit to death, simply for not feeling they could trust we'd keep to our word?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Ah - yeah. I guess - yeah.

So - do you not wanna go in on it, or...?

[scattershot]

I'd be happy to, if everyone left is involved. Otherwise, no. We have no right to endanger another unit's lives, simply to test out a theory.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Nods, slow]

Okay. So then what? Just, like... go with some random room?

[scattershot]

I would not presume to tell avante en garde what to do. As for ourselves... we can always go unarmed, I suppose. I suppose that may ensure our safety, if we can take the Producers at their word.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean, sure, but don't that mean it gets deflected somewhere random?

What if it ends up in the room with just about everyone?

[scattershot]

Would they be armed? What happens if the second room they enter also doesn't meet the criteria that would cause them to detonate?

[She looks back at her phone/tomestone/whatever.]

For people who like writing rules, they certainly don't seem to like making them clear ones.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Making em clear's too easy, I guess.

[leaveofabsence]

I would also treat that as an affirmative.

[scattershot]

Then they're all together, and it's reasonable to conclude they're not dead. Mayhap the game really is continuing on elsewhere.

[leaveofabsence]

While I am relieved to hear they are not dead. . .

[ And then he trails off.

Actually.

Let's not entertain those thoughts right now. ]

Do you think we might ask what they are doing wherever there are? That might be too difficult a question to ask with pictures.

[scattershot]

We could certainly try. It would have to wait until the next round, however, presuming there is another round...

[leaveofabsence]

Yes. Presuming there is another round.
