dreamland day one 41 players remaining. There are no clocks in your dorm room to help you mark the passing of time, but at a certain point, in the early hours of the morning, a cheerful chime tune plays over the loudspeaker. Whether you're awake or asleep, the door to your dorm room is now unlocked. You'll have about a forty five minutes, in which you can get ready or grab some breakfast, before the door that allows you into the park unlocks. By this time, you may or may not have noticed that one of your number is missing. The chimes play again, to announce that the park is open, and the rides and music begin to come back to life as a voice plays over the loudspeaker. "Looks like it's time to get started after all! To all our guests, have a magical morning! Dream big and have fun, but don't forget to look for the body! We'll see you in the afternoon at the Hall of Mirrors when it's time to vote, okay?" You will have until 4 PM to explore the park and talk amongst yourselves. Somewhere in the park, you'll find the body of Malik Ishtar. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on Sept 24.

N-N-N-NOOOOOOO!

[Mahiru knew this would happen. Her shout is a lamentation instead of complete confusion. With shaking hands she takes a single photo of the corpse, then steps back as the bracelet starts beeping.

In such a large crowd, there was never any doubt that someone would die... or that someone else would perform guard duty.

Investigation Question #1: are there drag marks on the body? Or footprints, like Malik and someone else walked here? Maybe an impact like he's been dropped? Does he really look like his body appeared out of nowhere?]

[ WORDLESS SHRIEKING from Mahiru's side

Ibuki is so useful upon body discovery, it's true ]

[flatview]

Oh, taking pictures? [ there is now a nui next to her ] You should give them to that reporter woman, all she published was unflattering faces we made when we were eating!

[photonement]

I intend to, as a matter of fact! Where are all the smiling faces?

[flatview]

[ clapping ] Good, it's hardly an objective newspaper if everything is taken out of context. Seems more like hysteria mongering.

[ she also wonders how Aya even managed to mass-publish a newspaper in this place, but oh well ]

[photonement]

Well, Aya-chan's doing really important work here! Even if there are any liars out there, this makes it easier for us to figure out who would even say something like that in the first place. But making forty copies must be so tiring...

[flatview]

Not sure I'd call it 'important.' [ shrug ] But I guess it's entertaining.

[ to see everyone freaking out over a bunch of printed lies ]

[photonement]

More entertaining than these crappy excuses for rides and toys and games, that's for sure.
