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.

afternoon

[guestcontrol]

[At some point during the early afternoon before the trial starts, anyone in the northern area of the park will hear what sounds like a small explosion going off. If they head towards it, they'll find Yuya Sakaki's body nearby the carousel. His corpse is a mess; judging by the gaping chest wound, it looks like something embedded in there exploded.

His bracelet is attached to his wrist and seems to still be in working order despite the explosion. On it is displayed the words REGULAR GUEST.]

if this posted twice gomen, dw's being a shit for me

[flatview]

[ Nui arrives at the scene relatively quickly, dragging her parasol behind her as always. When she sees what's happened, for once, her cutesy facade fades completely.

For it isn't the gore that shocks her, but the fact that someone else is dead at all. ]

Wh...at...what's...what the hell?! What happened?! Why is he dead?!

[chronic]

[ Appearing out of nowhere like the tiny ridiculous Batman he is, Mysterion crouches near the body. ]

...Detonator. Maybe.

[flatview]

I--

[ rapidly, she flips through the rule book on her bracelet. ]

...shit.

[ in their rush to unearth the VIPs, they completely forgot about the detonator, didn't they? ]

[chainjailer]

[As soon as Kurapika heard the explosion he ran towards the source, stopping in his tracks when he saw who it was. He could feel a thick weight settle in his chest.]

Yuya--! [He rushed the rest of the way over and crouched down by the body, but there was nothing he could do. Yuya was beyond saving, and Kurapika's shoulders were shaking with rage.

Whoever did this was going to pay.]

[shortcutter]

[A hand falls on his shoulder.]

This makes me sick.

…I'm sorry. I couldn't do anything.

[chainjailer]

[Deep breathes, Kurapika. He can feel his temper slipping and knows that his eyes must be scarlet again, but he'll just keep his head down so hopefully Levi won't see.]

In the middle of the day...why?! He wasn't a VIP...

[Just keep taking deep breathes.]

[mediumburgers]

[ Maya hears the blast and does what anyone sane does when they hear an explosion: run towards it.

Wait whAT IS THAT A DEAD BODY. Maya stumbles backwards from it with a small screech. ]

But-- but we already lost someone today!

[ THAT'S JUST NOT FAIR ]

[poyoyon]

[ THAT IS TOTALLY WHAT YOU DO WHEN YOU HEAR AN EXPLOSION. Ibuki is the person Maya stumbles backwards into...luckily they don't topple over. ]

E-eh?! Someone - someone exploded?!

[mediumburgers]

[ At least there's no cute girl pileup next to the dead body. Maya jumps a bit because ahhh sudden person behind her but is relieved when it's Ibuki, not anyone murderous. ]

I guess so...! There's a special role that does that, right?

[edealistical]

No...!

[Edea is close behind and comes to a screeching halt as she clasp a hand over her mouth.]

This is just what I feared happening. People are beginning to give in to their panic...

[mediumburgers]

So someone panicked and blew a guy up..? That's insane!

[ How does that even happen, Maya is so confused right now. ]

[foetida]

[No. Nope. Nanami has just gotten used to people dying overnight, she is not prepared to handle another murder out of nowhere during the day. Her legs waver and she falls to the ground as she starts screaming hysterically.]

No! No! It's not--it's not supposed to happen like this!

[cheats]

[ Ciel comes running with everyone else when he hears the bang, even though he knows that he really shouldn't. It would be better to just stay and not see it, but he's going to worry every time he hears things like this now. He sees Yuya and grimaces, and he feels a pressure in his chest, because looking at things like this... It's difficult.

Nanami's screams at least draw him out of staring at the body in horror, and to distract himself more than her, truthfully, he approaches to try and calm her. ]

I— [ ciel sucks at comforting people though, sorry nanami ] We don't need to see this... This is cruel.

[foetida]

It's wrong! [She stomps her foot against the ground, trying to channel her terror and shock into anger.] The killers are supposed to target people during the night! They can't just break the rules like this!

[harepiece]

[Oz also rushes to the source of the explosive noise, because nobody in murderpark has any self-preservation skills, apparently?! BUT HERE HE IS, looking pretty horrified.]

Is— is that... Did Fuyuhiko have a partner?

[Because if not someone's probably got some explaining to do...]

[eventhandler]

[Royce also looks shocked - his eyes are wide and he seems to be puffing at his cigarette quicker now - what in the world...? It wasn't even night, yet. What was going on? Was this the work of the Detonator? But...why kill an innocent person? This game was getting more dangerous by the hour, it seemed.]

Wouldn't, ah, a partner be killed immediately? There was nothing anywhere about a delay...

[harepiece]

There's nothing to say it's immediate either, but...

[Very unfortunately, the opposite seems more likely - having two deaths in one go rather than having one delayed for a seemingly random number of hours.]

I don't understand...

[cakelover]

If that were the case he...Yuya would have died last night as well, right?

[ IT'S OKAY, OZ, Honey apparently runs towards explosive noises, too. He's clutching his stuffed rabbit to his chest, looking concerned. ]

[harepiece]

[GOOD JOB everyone here has such sterling survival skills. Oz turns to look at Honey once he hears his voice, expression caught somewhere between shock and disbelief.]

I'm... not sure. Does it say specifically? [He would really prefer to think that this isn't some random person blowing up another.]

[fanbase]

[ After playing with Missile for some time, the explosion makes her hair stand on end. When she comes rushing over, she's nearly shocked into silence until Oz speaks up. ]

...Maybe? We can't even distinguish if it's the Detonator or not anymore at this point!

[eventhandler]

[Royce shakes his head.]

It has to be the detonator. The VIPS...they meet at night to do their work, correct? While the detonator...well, the detonator and whoever they give their key to can use it at any time...if the rulebook is any indication, that is.

[cheats]

I suppose it's possible...

[ Ciel is also chiming in at this point, though everyone else's opinions seem possible too, really. ]

Nothing in the book said they would be killed immediately did it? But even then, he didn't say anything about being Kuzu— [ He gives up part of the way through pronouncing that ] Er, about being his partner. Wouldn't you be frightened if your partner had died, at least?

[perfectstrike]

He did not have a partner.

[Jade walks in three hours later with starbucks, sup. But Peko's very firm about this, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she stares directly at Oz.]

He would have told me.

[ionicwoman]

[Anise outright screams, jumping back from it]

What the hell just happened?!
