day two

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day two 40 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. "Rise and shine! Let's have a lot of fun today, or at least all of you who are left!" You will have until 4 PM to explore the park and talk amongst yourselves. Somewhere in the park, you'll find the body of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on September 27.

Interrogations!! And alibis. | AROUND...

[chainjailer]

[Kurapika decides he's had enough after seeing the kid he liked blown up. His head is pounding with fury and he's determined to get to the bottom of this. It's pretty clear how furious he really is.]

I want an alibi. From all of you. Whoever killed Yuya--I will find them.

[So...who wants to be interrogated by the kid who looks like he's gone off the deep end? Because he's pretty much searching out everyone he can to press them with the same damn questions.]

[fanbase]

Alright.

[ She did this yesterday with Malik, so why not answer openly today too? It's no big deal to her. ]

I woke up, grabbed the paper, heard screaming from where the body was. I talked to Ibuki after that, went to go see Missile, and... then the explosion happened.

[chainjailer]

[Unfortunately Kurapika is going to be a lot more harsh about the whole thing.]

What did you talk to Ibuki about? Did the dog have anything new with him?

[flatview]

[ nui answers unflinchingly ]

I woke up and read the paper--and I talked with Ibuki-chan and the newspaper woman, ask them if you want to. I was gonna go play ski-ball at the carnival, but before I could do that, I heard the explosion and ran over.

[chainjailer]

What did you talk with them about? And where were you last night?

[Because that's kind of when she would have gotten the key, if it were here.]

[eventhandler]

[He gives Kurapika a blank look, almost questioning, in response to his intense order.]

I do think that question is a little...well, consider this. If this is the work of the detonator, they give...a "key", no? That can, at any time, detonate another person's bracelet...

What I'm trying to say is that whatever the nature of this key, asking what people were doing will not help you. It could be a button one could press, or something of the like...and you have to consider distance too, no? Does it work over long distances? Can someone activate it at the other end of the park? How does the selection work, the selection for the victim...? You don't know these answers, right? Therefore, how does knowing what people were doing help you at all?

[chainjailer]

... [As much as a point he might have had, Kurapika seemed hellbent on what he was doing. He'd start with questions, and try to dig deeper.

The specifics didn't matter. He doesn't care how it works--he'll make the culprit crack if it's the last thing he does.]

I don't know and I don't care. Nobody's getting any closer to finding it out by just standing around!

[cakelover]

I've been with Takashi at the carnival all morning, after we saw... [ Kuzuryuu... ] After breakfast, until we heard the explosion.

[ You know, the really tall quiet kid that Honey seems to hang around - and off of - a lot. ]

We were collecting tickets, ne?

[dotdotdotstare]

That's right.

[they probably still have all the tickets tbh]

[chainjailer]

[Kurapika leers down at Honey's bracelet. Kitten...]

I want you to confirm whether or not Nui was the last one to go to bed in your dorm. Better yet, do you know who was?

[mediumburgers]

Oh, hey! Ibuki and I had the same idea! [ But you can do the hardwork, Kurapika. ]

Woke up and read Aya's paper. Tried to do the crossword, but it's a hard one. I was going to ride the teacups before playing some more carnival games, but then there was the explosion. So I ran over and that Yuya guy was dead. Which seems unfair, since Hiko already died today!

[chainjailer]

Is "unfair" the best word you have to describe it? [Kurapika looks like he's just barely containing his anger now.]

Tell me, Maya... Did you think he was disposable?

[sparklyrichbastard]

I was playing carnival games when I heard the explosion...

I'm sorry for your loss.

[chainjailer]

Not sorry enough. [Kurapika's just as intense, the apology doing nothing to dent his anger.]

Was anybody with you? Maybe the only game you were playing was this one.

[siggey]

[ That guy's really got a short fuse. There he goes again...

Not that I can blame him. Sakaki was a nice kid. Kurapika and I fought in front of him yesterday, but I appreciated what he tried to do. I just didn't think he had to get his hands dirty and tired, too.

It's hard to believe we only spoke so casually less than 24 hours ago. To be honest, I still don't feel like my feet are touching the ground now.

But I've taken my time aside to swear, and kicked an offending tree for some good measure. I still feel like shit, but even I can tell I'm in better shape than this guy. ]

You're not going to find much starting a witch hunt like that, Kurapika.

[chainjailer]

I'm going to find whoever killed him!

[His search hasn't been getting anywhere so far, and it's obviously just aggravating him further.]

You too. What's your alibi?!

[cheats]

[ When Kurapika approaches Ciel, Ciel gives him an even stare in return. His gaze is briefly sympathetic, but he sighs, bowing his head. ]

...I understand what you're trying to do here, but do you really think you're going to accomplish anything this way? We can all give you alibis, but honestly? You're welcome to keep trying, but everyone else is right. This is little more than bullying people in grief.

[ It's his line of work to go investigating and seeking out alibis. He knows this isn't the right way to go about it in the first place. ]

[ionicwoman]

[Anise is still rather shaken up, she's pale and she keeps staring in the direction Yuya is- was]

W.. We were all here, weren't we?

[murimurimuri]

[That guy sure looks mad. Well, when people are mad there's only one thing to do: Sneak off before I get yelled at.]

[edealistical]

Try to calm down.

[Edea is sympathetic, but her words are firm.]

Alibis are pointless if it was set off by a 'key' of some sort - what we need to do is search everybody for anything suspicious before they get far enough to get rid of it.

[jingler]

Kurapika, please. No one has an alibi for this crime. The only person who could tell you who set it off is the person who gave the key to begin with - the Detonator.

[royalizing]

[ She looks concerned for him, because though he's questioning everyone with a frightening intensity, it looks like he's not really processing any of the answers. He must have been really close with Yuya... ]

I promise you, we will bring his killer to justice. Please, ask me any questions you have.

[photoshot]

Ayaya, he looks furious...

Do you really think you'll be able to root out the killer like this? [ ... MAYBE not a great time to be questioning the guy but she can't help it. ]

[perfectstrike]

You do that. I have another killer to find.

[Yeah Peko doesn't seem all that impressed. Sorry, Kurapika, she's busy trying to figure out who killed the bocchan.]

[belgian]

I heard the screaming and saw Kuzuryuu's body pretty soon after I woke up. After that, I made food for everyone, and then I did some looking around the shops. I was heading back to the mess hall for lunch when the explosion happened.

Do you want some food, by the way? [You look like you could use some calming down.]
