Murder Mysterium - Day 5

[idolpro]

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. ]

...well, I guess that answers that on "what happens when we all take explosives."

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... I feel like something was off with someone not doing the plan. Cause if it was gonna kill some of us, it shoulda killed all of us. Right?

[widenessofthesea]

Mm—that's certainly possible. There's a lot of room for even things like simple mix-ups.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... not really? Pink laid out everything for everyone.

[widenessofthesea]

I don't know if you've noticed, but people have been wandering in and out all the time, talking about getting lost, and there's been new people dropped in very suddenly who I've never seen before.

I'd guess it's probably on the part of the Producers to try and increase the likelihood for mayhem.

But you think someone had an intentional scheme, then.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Just kinda seems hard for it to've been an accident. Y'know?

Like... every other round, there's been a chance for people to have wound up in a room with someone they didn't wanna meet and killed them just cause of bad RNG. But this time, like... everyone was in the same spot. Y'know? We all knew where we had to be, and where everyone else was, and where to send the explosives.

[widenessofthesea]

Strictly speaking, I suppose that idea has merit.

I suppose the question, then, is who actually has motive.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I ain't good at figuring out that kinda thing. I ain't good at any of this, honestly.

But it's Avante on the chopping block, so... I figure I better try, at least. Send em some questions, try and play detective.

[widenessofthesea]

...ah, are they close friends? I know a few of them, albeit I don't know if they'd call me a friend.

If you'd like to share information, then, I don't think anyone on my unit would mind.

[avestan]

You all took explosives and I missed it???

[widenessofthesea]

Doing science of a sort.

[avestan]

Science that gets people killed! The best kind!

[widenessofthesea]

I have some constructive criticisms.

[avestan]

Yeah, fair enough.

[widenessofthesea]

I'm glad the house collapsed, though.

[avestan]

Oh, yeah. More of these games involving houses and rooms should end with the place getting wrecked.

Give everyone at least a little bit of catharsis, y'know?

[widenessofthesea]

Oh, that's true. That's honestly a good one for the suggestion box.

[worldlyafflictions]

I can't... tell what fucked it up. Having one too many units with us or... someone going missing--haah... I need people's question slots.

[widenessofthesea]

There's a lot of moving parts, so I'm sure the mistake wasn't yours.

Is there anything you wanted to have asked? I admit I just asked ours.

[worldlyafflictions]

If Avante and Lilis were in the same room
If they were given the name of the unit who got them or if it seemed random
If there's a specific unit, breaking units down inta a few lists for them ta pick from
If it was random...

[He has a thought]

[widenessofthesea]

...you look like you have an idea.

[worldlyafflictions]

[Starts laughing]

It's. I don't know what the chances are. If them not listin' a motive means everybody's guilty or if it's still somebody specific. If the unit who got Lilis and Avante is the one we let go last round.. if they get away with it again, they have a free revive...

[widenessofthesea]

...ah, that makes it difficult. I also don't know if it's possible to enter a blank motive.

Perhaps it's easier to start with the simpler possibilities, though, and work our way up.

[worldlyafflictions]

[DOES SHE GET IT. DOES SHE UNDERSTAND?? PLEAS IS HE GOING INSANE--]

I didn't leave mine blank.

[widenessofthesea]

[ squints ]

...you think there was someone out of place?

.......or, hang on, that the unit from last round could be persuaded to use their revive in this case?
