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.

Moles? Are there many of them here? I haven't seen a single animal yet, to be honest...

[Also this sounds kind of like animal abuse just saying.]

[impheired]

[Kuzuryuu sighs frustratedly, running a hand over his hair.]

I don't know. Once again, the only thing we have to go on is somebody's word. There's no way of knowing if he's telling the truth or if this is some kind of ploy. But it's almost so incredibly stupid that I'm inclined to believe he's the genuine article.

[Yeah he still wants a redo on their detective. Assuming this is legit and not a ploy.]

Unfortunately, voting for Legion is the only way we can confirm Levi's claim. Unless the cops investigate Levi tonight and find some way of sharing their results with us in a way that leaves no room for doubt, but also doesn't out them.

[mediumburgers]

No, no it's a carnival game! There's holes and the mole pops up and you try to hit it with a mallet. It's not a real mole, though, just a toy.

[ Otherwise that would be really awful. ]

[ionicwoman]

They already know you're the detective... [Though she doesn't sound sure] You'd better be careful.

[shortcutter]

Just somewhere private.

[Seeing his apprehension, though.]

Wherever you want. [He snorts.] I can keep my hands behind my head. I'm not going to murder you.

[He has a dark sense of humor, sorry!!]

[shortcutter]

No. There's nothing else I can do. Trust me or don't.

[mediumburgers]

That's not very helpful! We need to find a way for you to without a doubt prove yourself and prove your info is true! Otherwise... we're still at square one.

[perfectstrike]

Koizumi. Calm down.

[While Kuzuryuu handles their more excitable classmate, Peko's going to step in to make sure it's not going to escalate further.]

For now, panicking only aids the VIPs and whomever is controlling them.

[edealistical]

[Ouch.]

Sentiment it may be, but I intend to carry my words through.

[But she knows Peko has no reason to trust or believe her.]

...Why were you so surprised by my description of your class, by the way? Aren't you all friendly with each other?

[photonement]

[Peko-chan telling her she's to violent makes Mahiru flush wow]

But... being passive helps them too... If Levi were right then what if we really did waste one whole day that way?

[edealistical]

Oh! I see - the aim is to improve your coordination and reaction speed? It seems like a useful game for training, actually.

[shortcutter]

Fine. I can talk to her.

[perfectstrike]

And? What of it?

It is too late now to go back. The only thing we can do is move forward.

If nothing else, be thankful that another innocent person was not killed tonight.

[shortcutter]

It's your choice. You have every right to be suspicious.

[And that's going to be the last thing he says before turning and walking away.]

[chainjailer]

[He lets out an unamused huff.]

I'm not worried about that. The rules state they meet in groups and kill at night. It's afternoon.

I'll follow, just keep your hands where I can see them.

[poyoyon]

I...Ibuki doesn't suppose anyone else had really good ideas about information sharing in the past hour or so?

[ ummm ]

[shortcutter]

You could call it that.

[mediumburgers]

I guess shouting it from the rooftops is always an option.

[siggey]

[ I open my mouth, but couldn't think of anything I really wanted to say, really right to say, so I ended up closing it. After a beat, I opened it again.

...

It's no good. I only feel frustration and helplessness building. What he said didn't really piss me off. It's this entire setting that I'm clenching my fist and teeth against.

...]

You...

You better still be here tomorrow, Levi. If you thought you did what you had to... You picked up that oar, and a real man wouldn't just drop it now!

switch to a private conversation?

[shortcutter]

[Levi does as he's told, keeping his hands up near his head. He briskly leads Kurapike to the tunnel under the castle, making sure they aren't being tailed.]

[shortcutter]

I can't control what you or anyone else thinks. If I haven't done enough to convince you, then vote next time as you did today.

[mediumburgers]

You haven't done anything to convince me besides talk. At least put some effort into it! Do you really not have any proof?

[shortcutter]

I have no intention of dying, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. Even as a detective, there's only so much I can do.

But I will do everything in my power to survive and to end this game with as few casualties as possible. That's the only thing I can promise.

[shortcutter]

I told you, there is no physical evidence to prove it. I have nothing else to say.

[terci]

Why did you out yourself like that, man?! We need your information and you can't honestly expect to be protected every single night from now on, can you?? [WHY LEVI WHY]
