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.

...I see. [He still seems annoyed, although it's for a different reason now.]

But do you realize the size of the target you just put on your back? If the VIPs kill you tonight, you won't be able to help anyone!

[Kurapika clenches his fists.]

[shortcutter]

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

[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 appreciate it, but I'd rather not get you involved.

I do have something I'd like you to do, though. Would you follow me for a second?

[chainjailer]

... [Kurapika look slightly apprehensive, but then nods his head.]

Are we going far?

[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!!]

[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.

switch to a private conversation?

[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.]

yes o7

[Just in case Levi watching out for followers wasn't enough, Kurapika does the same.]
