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. ]

RULES | CHEATSHEET | DAY/NIGHT CYCLES | LOGISTICS & WINNING | ROOMS

MURDER 1 | MURDER 2 | BRING YOUR OWN TOPLEVELS

Then what is the situation? Because if you didn't wanna get out here and you don't care if you win, the fuck are you playing so fuckin' hard for?

[Christ, for a moment there he thought he got it. So much for trying to understand.]

[ sorry aether i know you're trying to like. calm the situation. but kousuke has been accused of things he doesn't like, so he is not calm. ]

We couldn't protect you in an alliance if we were executed! And we couldn't allow you to be implicated either, or what would be the point?? We were the ones who chose blades, and we were the ones who killed an unarmed team, so it fell to us to fulfill the team's wishes! I didn't think that we would be trusted immediately, and I am doing this more for sensitIV's sake than for yours, but you are making it very difficult to continue protecting you!

Right. So what you're saying is I shouldn't have tried to understand you. Or cutting you some fucking slack. I've been here for years, for Christ's sake, and most of it was way worse than this! I'm telling you because for about five seconds I had some bloody sympathy for your stupid ass getting out of the system is the smartest thing you can do. And if all it takes for you to decide I'm not worth the effort is me trying to get where you're coming from this whole thing was screwed from the jump. And you know, maybe it should be. I didn't ask for you to protect me, did I? None of us did. So you don't get to throw that back in my fuckin' face, sorry.

So the only reason you can POSSIBLY understand anyone trying to save someone in this game is to win? Are you seriously that cold!? I keep telling you over and over, I didn't have any ulterior motive for trying to enter an alliance with your team! I did so for Hitori's sake, and for the sake of the sensitIVs who wanted to protect you!

You may not care about that, being the cold-blooded idiot that you are, but they did and that's the only reason I need! You don't have to ask me to protect you because sensitIV already did! If you want to execute me for that, then do it! You'll have gotten through the game and I'll have fulfilled my promise, and then I'll never have to talk to you again!

irregular: at least one of us has some restraint (you are a terrible boyfriend)

You - Jesus Christ - you - shut up. Shut the fuck up!

Do you really think you're the only one here who's got people here you care about? Who you'd do anything to protect? How lucky you are you get to do that, you didn't see 'em blown to bits the second morning and have to keep playing and playing...?

And then you - you went and did it again. I wake up yesterday, more friends dead. And I couldn't do a goddamn thing that time either because your bloody unit took them away. You pulled them someplace else. We were keeping each other safe and now you wanna step in because you killed Nageki's brother and now you feel bad. Sorry for trying to understand why - Kaguya - you killed her, back five minutes and she's dead on the floor, and you ain't even doing it because they'll send you home? What the fuck!

YOU SHUT UP!! I DID IT BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO ARE YOU DEAF??

[ ugghHH ] Why am I even still talking to you!? If you don't understand why I did what I did, then that's fine! You don't have to! There is clearly something in your head that is BROKEN, and I'm not under any obligation to fix it for you! Fix it yourself!!

[ he's just gonna storm away from this conversation now he's donezo ]

[personal profile] irregular 2021-05-19 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
You killed my fucking friend!

[Just. Yelling it at his back there.

[Yeah. He's done with this.]

The situation is that we followed our original strategy, which was to go to each room that was the last place of murder in hopes no one would go there because none of of you were willing to trust us and try to help us coordinate to begin with.


Why is it so hard to understand? You said you're a regular, you are playing under the same rules. If even one group is left out of the loop, mistakes can and will happen.

Huh, playing hard? Is that how you see it? Because you and sensitIV refused to give anyone your room locations, but we definitely figured it out, anyway, and totally went to take a win?

How is that playing hard? Tell me, how can you stand there and be so obstinate about your opinion, claim you are a regular and you know how things work here, yet you can't see where really going on here?

One of my most important people is on sensitIV!

Are you and all these other regulars here really so black and white that everyone is malicious except when the misfortune of being in a "malicious" position happens to fall on your hands?! That's just an "accident?"

Shit. Sure is a whole lotta words you just put in my mouth.

Like I told your friend up there - I didn't think it was bad if you were playing hard to win. Because getting out of here? That's the dream ticket, fucking trust me on this, and if you were going hard to get that, you know what? That's fine. That's smart. But playing hard just because why the fuck not? That. That's what I got the problem with.

I don't care if you think it's bad or good, that's not what happened and you're upsetting my friend !

Just because you don't condemn it or blame that way of thinking doesn't mean that's how it happened!

There was no playing hard. We just picked badly.

[He's not sure why that's such an important distinction but TBH is not really at home to Mr. Logic right now anyway.

[Also, he's definitely yelling at Kousuke now.]

[ if only there was a bucket and water that wasn't gross to throw at them and hopefully diffuse it!! ]
