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. ]

I just know nothing comes from giving up.
I'd rather always try to make things better then accept it's always going to be terrible. Sometimes better is faith in people being good. Sometimes better is just being crafty despite the bad ones.
I mean, its either be trying, or what?
Things still be just as terrible as they were gonna be anyway? Seems like I have more to gain by not being paralyzed at the chance of failure.

What will you do if you're wrong, Rye? Because I - I would love to be wrong. I would like nothing better than for everything to unfold exactly, precisely the way you think it will and if it does, I'll be glad to see it. But if I'm right? If there are just two murderers? If that's how they've settled the accomplice issue?
Then at least I know I'm prepared for it. At least I haven't hurt myself worse by being blind to a truth I'm going to have to accept whether I like it or not.

Then I will deal with the crushing disappointment. I'll go fly, go build something, do something else to keep my hands busy so I don't end up in a depressive spiral.
Probably get fussed at by someone. I might go to them, depending whose at where.
A lot of my life is high risk, high reward situations because its either engage them, or let terrible things happen. I know how much hope hurts, I know how much it can crush you. For weeks, I've had several people tell me a situation will turn out well in my past. That I'm capable of getting a good ending. And for weeks, I agonize on whether I should hope because I know if that hope is wrong, it could very well destroy me.
I know the risk of hope.
Its unfair of you to assume that I'm not prepared for both success and failure.

I also think this conversation has become frankly unproductive, but I'm sure you can find a supportive friend to keep you company while we wait instead. Good day.
no subject
I'm not sure what you were trying to accomplish because it sounded a lot like you...wanted me to not hope? Wanted me to say 'hey, it might be my team, I don't know, so kill us I guess?'
About the only thing productive I could see is maybe you wanted to be talked into being able to hope despite a terrible three weeks. I acknowledged it could fail, explained why it was worth trying anyway, and you just continued about how it was going to fail anyway without really offering up any alternate action.
I guess good day, but I honestly have no idea what productive were you looking for?

[Now Alisaie turns back again.]
Thal's balls I said I was leaving! Will you stop trying to have the last word!
[Seven hells she's going to get lost in the hedge maze. Maybe by the time she comes out they'll be fine either the inevitable letdown and can finally go back to the dorms.]
