day two

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day two 40 players remaining. There are no clocks in your dorm room to help you mark the passing of time, but at a certain point, in the early hours of the morning, a cheerful chime tune plays over the loudspeaker. Whether you're awake or asleep, the door to your dorm room is now unlocked. You'll have about a forty five minutes, in which you can get ready or grab some breakfast, before the door that allows you into the park unlocks. By this time, you may or may not have noticed that one of your number is missing. The chimes play again, to announce that the park is open, and the rides and music begin to come back to life as a voice plays over the loudspeaker. "Rise and shine! Let's have a lot of fun today, or at least all of you who are left!" You will have until 4 PM to explore the park and talk amongst yourselves. Somewhere in the park, you'll find the body of Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on September 27.

I think the more important question is, why did they need to-- to smash his head in?

Something like that... is messy. Brutal. Difficult to hide. There would be blood splatter on clothes and on the ground.

[She sounds like she knows way too much about this.]

If they were low on ammunition, why two shots to the leg? That... is not an easy shot, especially if, as you imply, the target is running.

[billows]

If I recall—the last body also had the face sort of... [ Just motions vaguely around his face instead of saying destroyed. ] Granted, that was due to a bomb, but it seemed to be the icing of whatever they did to him.

[ This gets Legion to pipe up from wherever he's been— ]

To hide the cause of death, perhaps.

[perfectstrike]

[Zeroes in.]

And what do you think it could be hiding? Why hide the cause of death in such a way?

[5_9]

It is possible that something about his face may have been incriminating. Logically, this would need to be masked.

[ Legion looks at the body more closely, but otherwise, it's impossible to tell what it might be thinking. ]

We do not know what, however. We only offer it as a possibility.

[perfectstrike]

That is what killed him. He would not die from two shots. He... has survived much worse.

There was no explosive involved here. Why? Why the change in cause of death?

A blow to the head is as instant as an explosive in the chest. If their only intent was to cause pain, they had a firearm.

[eventhandler]

Perhaps the theory is correct that the first murder was the Detonator's work, not the VIPs? Since, due to the explosion and all...

[perfectstrike]

Perhaps... but does that get us any closer to finding Fuyuhiko--

[There's a noticeable catch to her voice, and she stops, breathes.]

--the killer?

[eventhandler]

I don't know. It bears thinking about.

[He says, frowning.]

...We will get to the bottom of this matter. We just need more...information.
