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. ]

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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean. Nem's my best friend. She's -

[Pauses. Swallows]

So - so if we can figure out who did it, and get Avante a win, and like - I dunno. A revival that don't suck so much. I wanna try.

[widenessofthesea]

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.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Thanks, dude.

[widenessofthesea]

[ somewhat later: ]

...I suppose in anticipation of others asking the more straightforward questions and being similarly willing to share, I asked the departed "What do you want the outcome of this to be"?

avante en garde provided me with a door opening onto a bright place. Does that mean anything in particular to you, since you have a friend there?

[crossmyheartandhope]

...sounds like they wanna get out of here.

[widenessofthesea]

Reasonable. Well—it seems like there's ideas floating around, so perhaps we have a chance.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah... yeah.

And - from what Rye was saying, maybe no one did it on purpose, after all. So that's - good. Least it wasn't, like - you know. That.

[widenessofthesea]

Mm, well—I'd say I'm an optimist, even if some things have tarnished that a bit. So I like to think, at least, that there's always something we can do.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Fingers crossed, right?

I ain't smart at this kinda thing, so if Rye and Pink say there's a plan that'll work, I'm willing to try it.
