day one - aftermath

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day one 41 players remaining. As the voting period comes to an end, a bell goes off from the ticket machine, and the metal bars blocking the tunnel at the end of the Hall of Mirrors lifts. A voice speaks over the loudspeaker: "Attention, guests! Please make your way onto the ride! For your safety, keep your hands and arms inside and do not attempt to leave your seat!" Through the tunnel, single cars on a track stop and wait for each remaining player to step on. Don't dawdle, or your bracelet will begin to beep a warning. Once in a car, the safety bar locks you tightly inside, unable to move. The car trundles along a dark, twisting track, nearly veering into cartoonish obstacles, but veering away at the last moment. Music and cackling laughter echoes loudly through the ride as you drive faster and faster. Suddenly, your car seems about to veer off to the left, through a set of tall doors, before abruptly spinning off to the right. With a powerful jerk, each car comes to the end of the ride. The safety bar lifts, and you can leave. It seems no one was executed tonight, but a list of votes has been pinned to the wall for your perusal. You now have the rest of the evening to explore the park, before night comes again. character statuses private conversations This is a general post-vote mingle encompassing the time from the end of the trial (about 5 PM until the fireworks at 11 PM). You are encouraged and welcome to backtag discussions in this post until the next day post, or to have afternoon private conversations.

[...He has a point. Hmm.]

Alright, let's say that I...believe you. Are the detective, I mean. What information did you get about Legion? Did you get that he was, er, VIP? Or a "special role" that you assumed was VIP...?

What exactly is the nature of the information you received?

[shortcutter]

I know. There's a good chance you'll have to dig the rest of the graves without me.

[mediumburgers]

Orrrr you just wanted to be a jerk? That doesn't prove really prove anything! Not that I don't believe you, but still. You could have done something besides let us ignore your dumb note!

[chainjailer]

I can guard you. [His words are firm.] Even without my Nen, I'm sure I can stand to fight anyone here.

[shortcutter]

I explained my reasons.

[shortcutter]

I had my reasons.

[edealistical]

[Thinks about it for 5 seconds.]

Those are bad reasons. If you wanted to prove you sent the note, all you had to do was draw the symbol that Aya redacted.

All you've done is prolong our trial and gain the VIPs a convert.

[siggey]

[ I wanted to yell something too, but so many people already beat me to the punch... ]

This is some sort of military strategy, right? Some kinda... grand reverse psychology mental warfare tactic.

[crueltobekind]

Seriously?!

[shortcutter]

I'm glad I listened to all of you before the vote instead of saying anything. I learned that you're a group of decent people. None of you were willing to kill someone based on such little evidence, even if it meant prolonging the game and making yourselves vulnerable to be converted.

[shortcutter]

The only thing I learned, specifically, was that Legion is a VIP.

[royalizing]

[ That was... dramatic. Natalia's taken back for a second before she takes a seat with a smile. ]

Clash then! Is that a title? It sounds quite formidable.

[mediumburgers]

Well... thanks? I think. [ Is that a compliment or. ] But does that mean you don't have any stronger evidence?

[belgian]

Did you get to leave your room to go check? That would be really dangerous! [Levi the super spy???]

[perfectstrike]

But is it something to our benefit? If they saw fit to make an entire rule about it.

[fanbase]

[ Clash sits back down, dangling her hands over her knees. Her eyes watch the fireworks, but half-way through she looks back over to her. ]

It's a nickname... a stage name actually! Constance is the name everyone from Mulberry uses, so I decided to stick with Clash when I started playing with the Misfits.

[royalizing]

We couldn't accept the note because we had no way of knowing who or why they sent it! If you had simply spoken up and explained yourself, it could have changed things!

[shortcutter]

I learned, specifically, that Legion is a VIP. Nothing else.

According to the rules, they'll also let me know if the VIPs are able to convert somebody. Of course, that hasn't happened yet. And I hope it doesn't.

[photonement]

You don't think... they put in a bomb or something, do you?

[photonement]

Levi voted for Legion, and he's saying that's because he's the detective who sent that note!

[shortcutter]

Think what you want.

[poyoyon]

E-eh?! But...why?! Does that mean if we vote for him tomorrow, Legion-chan really will...

[ but she trusted robobro ]

[edealistical]

Hmph.

[Edea is very, very quiet for a long few moments.]

You intend for us to vote for Legion tomorrow, then?

[eventhandler]

I see.

[He will keep that in mind.]

Ah, one other thing. If you are the detective who, well, wrote the note...I would ask you to talk to Aya. Produce the symbol from the note for her. If she can verify that it was...you who wrote the note, as she only knows the symbol, only she knows...then you would have more credence for your statement.
