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. ]

Go fly?

[protectshisown]

Stress relief.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah. I mean... legit.

[protectshisown]

I may fly anyway, I am going to be full of a lot of something.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Fingers crossed it's something good.

[protectshisown]

I do prefer relieved mania.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Well... fingers crossed for that, then.

[protectshisown]

Hmm.

We should also do something when you're free. Just. After all this.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah.

But maybe, like. Maybe in a couple days.

[protectshisown]

...I figure she's the priority.

But after....

You don't have to be fine for us to be together, you know?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I got a feeling I'm gonna be bad company for a while.

But... when I get it together again. Okay?

[protectshisown]

Hurricane.

[Hey, he's grabbing the back of his neck again.]

[crossmyheartandhope]

Yeah?

[protectshisown]

You don't-

Please don't run away from me.

[His other hand reaches to take Hurricane's hand.]

You don't have to talk. You don't have to say anything.

But being alone hurts.

And it makes everything else hurt more.

I don't care if you're bad company. I just don't want you to hurt more than you have to.

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Okay, but counterpoint: what if he deserves that, actually,]



...no promises.

Just. Just gimme a couple days. Okay?

[protectshisown]

[No!]

....would you accept that from me?

[crossmyheartandhope]

Sure. I mean, I ain't saying we can't meet up or nothing.

I just - need a few.

[protectshisown]

.....that was the dumb question.

I mean, would you want to accept that. Knowing that agreeing meant I was hurt and alone.

[crossmyheartandhope]

Oh. Like.

...if it was you?

[protectshisown]

Yeah.

[crossmyheartandhope]

...I wouldn't want you being alone.

But that's different.

[protectshisown]

Why?

[crossmyheartandhope]

I dunno. I just is.

[protectshisown]

....do you think I care about you that much less? Because I assume that's why you'd want to be there for me.

[crossmyheartandhope]

I mean... that's why I'd wanna, yeah.

But it ain't that.
