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.

[Looking over at Malik's body again like THE POOR GUY... sure he tried to get a dog's paw cut off but still]

...I guess it's a definite possibility. I just... I don't want to think that anyone here would do something like this intentionally.

No matter what side the killer was on... this happened purposefully.

[Even if someone got whipped up like Teruteru... there was still an idea that another person had to end up dead. Mahiru really ought not to get hella sad.]

Even if you struggled with someone, you'd be singed too... but nobody here is. They would have cl- [choking on the disgusting concept] -cleaned up.

Can't we check everyone for injuries? If he fought... there'd be a mark or something, right?

That'd take a very long time! There are forty-one of us! And we'd need really big groups to make sure there weren't VIPs reporting the results together! [COUGH, KUZURYUU AND NANAMI.] I don't think he looks like he was in a big struggle; where's, you know, blood under his fingernails? His explosive or bracelet might have been activated remotely anyway and then there'd be nothing on the culprit at all.

But somebody must have dragged him out from his room! Unless he went to the fence himself... how could he have gotten there?

[DO WE REALLY HAVE ANY BETTER IDEAS] We have to do something!

Sure, the culprit probably took him out somehow... but they had plenty of time to take a shower. Heck, they even could have changed their clothes.

If he fought back, shouldn't there be scratches? Or a bruise? He didn't seem like a complete wuss...

[Anise, pls]

Would you have time for anything like that if you suddenly exploded?

Look, I'm all for it if we really don't have any other leads.

Do we have any other leads?

There's... Legion...

[She doesn't want to say she'd totally kill a robot but

she'd totally kill a robot]

That's a lead? A hokey clue left to some kind of shady stalker who spends all night writing papers and creeps around in the morning to throw them under our doors?

Photojournalism... isn't stalking. Aya-chan worked for hours copying that out by hand, you know? What have you done?

[Oh, sensitive topic, huh] I don't creep around and try to stir up trouble! ♥

What kind of detective would leave a note to her saying "It's Legion" on the first day, anyway? It's way shady!

A lucky detective with an eye for self-defense.

What would you do if you were the detective? Tell everybody?

[OKAY, SURE...] If I was the detective, I'd find a better way to tell everyone. And some kind of evidence, "Legion is a VIP" in some tip

There are way more trustworthy people to pass on the info to.

[He lapses into silence, thinking that over.]

...They really don't want to get caught. [Which, duh. But it's a pretty unhappy realization after how hard Oz had tried to rationalize the game away just a day earlier.]

No, they don't -- unless a bunch of people acted independently, and that'd be even luckier than the medical team guessing right tonight -- why'd they desecrate him so much?

[Maybe it's game rules. Mahiru doubts it's an Egyptian ritual]

[He shakes his head once, because honestly, that's baffling to him, too.]

I don't understand that at all. Malik is dead, and he died in such a horrible way...

Maybe he was just gently strangled and all the other stuff happened... later... No, that's not much better, is it.

["JUST GENTLY STRANGLED".]

Not really. ...It would be a little better than if he had been alive during all of the rest of it, though.

I guess we have no way of finding out for sure... unless someone here can perform an autopsy.

[scrolling through her watch tbh]

[He will wait for her to finish scrolling...]

I know that a few people have medical knowledge, but I'm not sure about that.

Maybe Natalia-chan can... but...

[They've had such a damn long day at the carnival]

[He seems to... not be so keen on that idea.....]

Leaving the burden to Miss Natalia seems too unkind.

We'll see how she feels about it, I guess.
