idolpro | Murder Mysterium

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. ]

[pink is tired]

[Following. And once he's done screaming:]

We're almost done. Just this, and then whatever happens at the end, and we'll be free to go.

[And like sure that's potentially a Lot still but it's. Less than before??]

I shoulda realized what havin' too many teams would do.

That was the trade off, unfortunately.

I dunno, I coulda... insisted on evening things up--or...

Mayhap 'tis a foolish question, but... are you all right?

I am absolutely losin' it.

Do you wish to talk about it? I don't know all the details, but I'd be happy to try and pinpoint where we went wrong. I'm trying to work that out, too.

Haaaaaaaaaaaaah...... The most obvious thing that coulda gone wrong was havin' two units send a bomb to the same room 'cause we had an extra unit compared ta rooms we wanted ta blow up.

... of course. Mayhap in reality 'twould have made no difference, but there's no telling how the producers interpreted it. Although, we should have expected it to be 'in the worst way imaginable', perhaps.

I could see how ta prevent it--if somebody had taken me up on steppin' out via taking Sensitiv's stabbings instead of stickin' around ta see how this turned out, the numbers woulda been right... [BUT LIKE. THAT'S STILL GETTING EVERYBODY TO AGREE TO EXECUTE SOMEONE THOUGH.]

[ If he ever comes back out from behind the hedge ]

Might I sit here with you?

[eventually he will, just trying to breath calmly]

It was a good plan, considering the limited number of options available.

Kinda fucked over a team I was tryin' hard not ta fuck over, though... Haah..

Their victory is not yet impossible if I understand the rules right.

[ He probably does not understand the rules right ]

Ugh, right--not yet I guess. we could trade one unit for two if we could figure out which bomb outta eight bombs somehow got mixed inta billiards version one outta four [ugh]. Zrael didn't show so ya woulda expected the bomb ta go there instead but I guess..... a room was bein' eliminated every night anyway--did that happen before the bombs were sent out so there were seven rooms 'n eight bombs...?

Fuck.

Fuck--

Are we just lucky Zrael didn't show so it's only two teams dead instead of three or four??

Perhaps.

But I think our situation would remain the same. You are thinking about how to secure a win for as many dead units as possible, correct?

...hey.

--hey! Looks like I... [vague inarticulate gestures. probably means FUCKED UP?]

...we gave it a shot, though, yeah?

Couldn'ta done anything without any buy in, so... at least that much had a good turn...

Hey... it was a good idea.

Ain't your fault the guys who run this place are jerks.

Gotta figure out what ta do about Lilis 'n Avante though--right now there's still a chance...
