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 explained my reasons.

[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.

Think what you want.

[edealistical]

Hmph.

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

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

[shortcutter]

Most likely. But it also depends on what I learn tonight.

[Another short silence before she shakes her head slightly, her motion stiff.]

It is impossible to succeed here without trust, I know... I'll believe your claims.

[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.]
