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. ]

[Cool]

[Literally the only way this game could have gotten worse]

[scattershot]

Is there anything at all I can do? I - well, I'm no good with words sometimes. But if I can help, please, tell me.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...we gotta try and figure out who did it, this time.

[scattershot]

[She just nods.]

Maybe we should have tried harder last time, after all... I don't know. I'm not sure what the right thing to do in these games is. Perhaps because there isn't one.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. There really ain't.

[scattershot]

What do you think happened? Do you believe this was intentional? There's no motive for either of the crimes.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... it has to've been. Right?

Every other round, it coulda been crappy RNG or whatever, but like. We all knew where everyone was, and what to do, and where to send our stuff. If it wasn't gonna work, it woulda not worked for everyone.

[scattershot]

I... I am not certain.

We had two units send an explosive to the same room. The assumption was they would both explode, but what if perchance they didn't? Mayhap but one of them did, and the second was sent to another room. The billiards room - or one of its copies - would have been the only place it could go.

[crossmyheartandhope]

So what -

What does that even mean?

[scattershot]

It could well mean that everybody kept their word, and stuck to the plan. But the producers found a loophole, and two units died anyway.

Do you know what you wish to ask?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I dunno. I guess - who did it?

If we're gonna ask.

[protectshisown]

[He is going to put an arm around Hurricane's shoulders.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Hesitates, then leans against him]

[protectshisown]

[Will wrap his arm around him more securely and just keeping hugging him.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Sounds like a plan, honestly]

[leaveofabsence]

[ Putting a hand on his shoulder ]

[crossmyheartandhope]

...hey.

[wow this smile is fake]

[leaveofabsence]

I am sorry that things turned out this way.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah, well. You and me both.

[leaveofabsence]

Why don't we take a moment to catch our bearing then? Before we jump straight into the investigation.

[crossmyheartandhope]

There's - there's probly a lot of ground to cover.
