Murder Mysterium - Day 5

Who: You!
Where: The Game Tower
When: TBD - Day 5

[ When morning comes, you find yourselves more than freed from your rooms—the mansion collapses behind the last person leaving, completely and utterly demolished. There might be a couple rooms left standing, but . . . you certainly can't have a murder mystery game like this.

The game isn't quite over yet, though.

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.

Its water's stopped, though rather than any stillness in water you can instead see . . .

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 want it to end.

I don't care about the win.

I just - if Avante wins, maybe the revive won't suck so much. Y'know?

[ wow, he wasn't expecting anyone to support him. ]

You are agreeing with me?
stayathome: (now i'm sure)

[personal profile] stayathome 2021-05-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
... it should end tonight, at least. I'm sure that my team will finally be executed for our past crimes.
crossmyheartandhope: (So far away away)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, dude.

Just like - aesthetic, or color or whatever. Soemthing that'll help us pin it down.

I mean. Ain't it?

Everyone said they were on the same page. But if we all did the same thing, how come we got different results?
widenessofthesea: (and every time god laughs at this)

[personal profile] widenessofthesea 2021-05-19 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's true. That's honestly a good one for the suggestion box.

Re: gets on the fountain soapbox ledge to throw a fit.

[personal profile] avestan 2021-05-19 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
For sure.

I mean, people are gonna do the people thing and I don't hold it against them? But it is still pretty fucked up if anyone's pretending this game's got anything to do with justice.
crossmyheartandhope: (Are we drowning?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-19 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Pretty sure we all do.
crossmyheartandhope: (Are we drowning?)

[personal profile] crossmyheartandhope 2021-05-19 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
...oh yeah?

You get bad RNG in another round or something?

What's the aesthetic of the unit that killed you?

Which means it definitely won't get listened to, right?

That's more or less what I meant.

[Thinking it over...]

We followed the instructions we gave out - take it as you will, but I don't have much stake in winning or losing, so I was mostly interested in seeing if we could "break" the game. Pink and I are the only ones here, so even if we died, someone from our unit should have been able to revive us.

The guest units would presumably have the most motivation to win, since that seems to be tied to their participation, and two of them have already been eliminated. Assuming they weren't sure they would get a Detective Win, this was their last chance for either a Killer or Serial Killer Win. Although that's also assuming one of them wasn't responsible for sensitIV, since their victory is already guaranteed, but... I suppose they could have decided that a Killer Win wasn't good enough.

Other than that... it's hard to say. A Serial Killer Win is a good motivation for most of the units because it comes with healing.

[ squints... considers but whatever, he's done. ] Then, I should be suspecting all of you because there was a bomb in our room when we got locked in?

That's what you're saying.
widenessofthesea: (the wheels go on praying)

[personal profile] widenessofthesea 2021-05-19 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Right. It makes sense, and it's a noble effort on your part.

Well, in that case, I'll let you know what we receive in reply from what we decide to ask.

[personal profile] nothingtomourn 2021-05-19 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Well, then.

He's falling silent once more.

widenessofthesea: (in their minds)

[personal profile] widenessofthesea 2021-05-19 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I suppose if there was ever a unit to put something like that together for the masses rather than wait on the Producers to do it, it's ours.
skyshard: (so either one of you weirdoes)

Re: gets on the fountain soapbox ledge to throw a fit.

[personal profile] skyshard 2021-05-19 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
... Thanks.

[personal profile] avestan 2021-05-19 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
You need to do it.

[After. All this.]

Okay. So, I really hate to say this, but...as it stands, we have to fix teams up after this anyway, more than likely. Last rounds, its been one for one. This time...well, its one team versus two.

Now what happened could have been four things, I figure.

One, the option I think is least likely, but bears saying, is someone deliberately did something on purpose to try and win.

Two, because we tried to destroy a room twice, the extra bomb for Master Bathroom got sent back to Billiards anyway, but since it wasn't a 'choice,' it only hit one iteration of the room.

Three, host is throwing in the chaos on purpose.

Four, some other weird loophole I haven't figured out, but its there.

So I guess step one for trying to figure this out is confirming at least people were where they said. This doesn't clear anyone, but at least it gives us more information to work with.

Wild City was with 10IV in the Billiards room.
