day one - afternoon

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day one 41 players remaining. [As the day wears on into the afternoon, the dead aren't getting any deader. It's late in the afternoon, and the air is beginning to cool, when the chimes play again over the park loudspeaker. "All of us here at Dreamland wish you luck, guests! Let's meet up in the Hall of Mirrors!" Wherever you are, it's time to make your way over to the House of Horrors, where you'll have to brave the funhouse to find the room on the top floor. Don't delay, or your guest identification bracelet will begin beeping. The House of Mirrors is a large room, more than capable of fitting a crowd. Tall mirrors line every wall, and the door you entered through seems to vanish into a mirror as well. The mirrors give the impression that many, many more are among your number, standing in the background. In the back is a jar filled with blank raffle tickets. You'll have to take a ticket, write down a name, and place it back in the jar. Hopefully you already know who you're voting for, but if not, you only have time for a brief discussion before you're out of time. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on Sept 24.

[ Clash is jealous that she's not painting her nails with Ibuki, but that's not important right now!! She's supposed to look competent about this kind of stuff. ]

Even if it is true, it's dumb to go on it without any further word or action from the detective.

There's no merit in that anonymous note anyway, any one of the roles could have slipped it there. Not to mention, it could just be another lame trick to try and get people to panic, but some of us are way smarter to not fall for it.

[impheired]

For all we know, it could even be something more sinister than just an attempt at rousing panic. It could be the VIPs trying to force a lynch.

[fanbase]

Makes sense to me. What's a better way to freak people out than having them vote for an innocent... [ She pauses. ] ...being?

It's true that we've gotta find the VIPs fast, but we've got barely anything to go on and trusting some note that could be from any one of us is a dumb idea.

[impheired]

That and they guarantee that they end up with two innocent people dead in one day. Potentially three, if Ishtar was part of a pair. Which he wasn't, luckily.

[Why does that seem at least halfway terrible to say...]

But you're right, going along with it without any concrete evidence one way or the other is just stupid.

[fanbase]

Take it you didn't find anything important after we spoke?

[ She doesn't sound completely smug... just a little bit. It's amazing. She sighs, sounding a little down. ]

Those interviews were a total bust too.

[impheired]

I didn't, no...

[He sounds vaguely disappointed in himself but not completely disheartened.]

Well I figured they wouldn't point right at any of our VIPs but were they really a total bust? There wasn't anything useful you learned from that?

[This possibly comes off as at least backhandedly rude but he's honestly just curious here. He didn't think Clash's plan was completely terrible after all, just that it wouldn't accomplish what she thought it would.]

[jingler]

Wouldn't it more advantageous for the VIPs to not force a lynch? They could recruit someone to their ranks if we do not vote today.

[impheired]

[He shrugs.]

Depends on which win condition they're going for. If they think it's easier to just kill us all off, then it would make more sense to try and kill as many people as possible every day and not bother with conversion.

[jingler]

That is true. We don't know what the VIPs plans are so we cannot be sure what they will do. And killing someone here today would speed up the process for them without a risk of the Conversion Busters stopping them.

[impheired]

And without the risk of them potentially converting somebody who might not play along. No matter which side you're on in this game, every move you can possibly make is incredibly risky. Especially this early on. So it's just a matter of cutting your risks and going for the best possible option at any given point.

So for now, they might think it's better to just keep their group as small as possible until they can figure out something more concrete. The fewer people who know a secret, the easier it is to keep, after all. I don't think it's a stretch to say something like that might be their line of thinking? Feel free to correct me if I'm way off here.

[ionicwoman]

You think it could be someone else just trying to mess with us...?

[poyoyon]

[ Clash, Ibuki will paint her nails with you anytime! She was investigating Legion!!! .........not really although Kuzuryuu told her to..........Ibuki was just having fun............. ]

Yeah yeah yeah! Ibuki just thinks if Legion-chan were really that sort of person, Legion-chan would be offering up a better, more serious argument! But as it is, Legion-chan trusts us to see the truth! Like about the robots totally being robots!

[ #trust

#ibuki you're gonna die ]

[fanbase]

Isn't there some law of robotics where they can't lie or kill people anyway? Unless they took that outta them.

[jingler]

You are speaking of Isaac Asimov's Laws or Robotics, Clash. However those laws are just a type of programming robots go under. Not all robots are necessarily programmed with them however.

[fanbase]

[ She shrugs. ]

I just remember what I've seen in movies and stuff, I've never run into actual robots before so I just assumed. So it's possible, but I still don't think even that's a good enough excuse to lynch them. It's way too obvious this early on anyway.

[5_9]

Asimov's Laws. These do exist. However, they exist only in fiction. They would not cover all cases. They were discarded as feasible in the development of VIs.

[ a pause, then, ]

We are not required to follow such protocols.

[poyoyon]

What about the sticker promise?! Legion-chan, you decided to go along with that, right?

[5_9]

Yes. We wished to learn more, so we acknowledged this promise.

[fanbase]

[ She is weirdly excited to be talking to robots. This is so awesome. ]

What kinda protocols do you follow?

[5_9]

We are familiar with and able to follow all known protocols used in Council Space. We have been recently updated with protocols to allow for massive multiplayer online gaming.

[ Legion is a gamer, as a matter of fact, surprise... ]

[harepiece]

I don't really understand any of this- [ROBOTS TO A YE OLDE VICTORIAN] -but if you say that you aren't one of the killers, I believe you.

[5_9]

This is a logical choice. We do not wish to incite organics.

[ "Thank you" ]

[siggey]

The three laws of robotics, yeah.

[ This sounds familiar... ]

"1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."

...

But there's the Zeroth Law, too.

[fanbase]

I only know it from science-fiction media. You know like A.I.s and holograms, that kinda stuff. What's the Zeroth Law?

[siggey]

Yeah, I know what you mean. The Zeroth law was made by Asimov too, the same guy who created the first three. It basically says that a robot can harm an individual human being, as long as that act benefits the concept of humanity as a whole. Like if a mass murderer is killed, for example, or someone who's carrying a really dangerous plague.
