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.

[No, he'll never slow down. Never.]

I'm looking for the key.

Very well. Nonetheless, I've watched you harass and threaten a number of people over a clue that may very well not exist. You've seen whatever it is you've needed to see, so I suggest you stop this now.

[If they were back home, this would be the point he'd have Kurapika dragged off and taught some manners, but...]

I haven't seen what I've needed to see until I've search every one here. Yuya's killer is still amongst us!

I'm not just going to let them get away with this. Maybe you don't care that he died, but I do! [And he's yelling now. Kurapika is just letting his anger run away at this point.]

I certainly do care that he died. None of us want to see a killer acting in the day as well.

[But it looks like dad is choosing to be nice, so. Takes out wallet, flicks it open, and puts it away. Cell phone, pen, little black book. Immediately tucks everything back in the pockets.]

I assure you that none of us are responsible. Moreover, I would suggest you realize that everyone who cooperates with you does so at their own discretion, and modify your tone accordingly. You're bound to upset someone at this rate.

I don't want to see a killer acting at all.

[Just to clarify, even if it wasn't necessary. Kurapika eyes the items as they're taken out.]

It's too late for that. [He totally already upset someone, but he also doesn't care. Kurapika gestures again at his pockets.]

I want a closer look at your cellphone. "Key" could be non-literal. [Kurapika is sure a cellphone could be used as a remote detonator.]

[Completely unphased as he puts the phone away.]

That's a pity, because my phone contains private data and I won't have anyone perusing it.

[Whatever, bro. If Kurapika tries anything, he's confident the senpais will handle it.]

Run along, now.

Does it now? [That sets off more than enough red flags to have Kurapika pursue. He steps closer, but doesn't make a grab for him just yet. Instead he just holds out his hand.]

I mean it--give me the phone, or I'll take it myself.

[Kyouya's right - enough of this shit. Mori has been glaring down at him this entire time, still as a statue - but after the threat, he swiftly moves in to grab that extended arm of Kurapika's, pull him in, and flip him over his shoulder. It is extremely fluid, to contrast his earlier rigidity. Once he's on the ground, he keeps holding him in place.]

[He doesn't make any move or response when Kurapika gets up in his face, and, ah, there, right on cue. Without changing his expression, he casually steps to the side to avoid getting in Mori's way. But once Kurapika is pinned, crossing his arms and looking down at him.]

Well, now. You've officially tested my patience, and it seems I'm not alone.

[Kurapika moved to retaliate, but he was a second too late. Had Mori not been so much larger than him he might have been able to twist out of his grip before it was too late, but as it is he was pinned to the ground with the wind knocked out of of him.]

Ah... [Even if he was strong, once you were pinned down it wasn't an easy thing to reverse. He doesn't bother to struggle fruitlessly.]

Let go of me!

[He glances up at Kyouya, but then back to Kurapika. Of course he's not going to let him go right away.]

No more threats.

Yes. Oh, he won't hold you any longer than necessary, but I think this little exercise must come to an end now. The one committing murders won't be carrying a detonator in their pocket.

From now on, won't you leave the strategic thinking to those with some basic common sense?

[Kurapika tested the arm Mori had held, but he didn't want to risk injuring himself right now. His hands are shaking from adrenaline unchecked, but he can't say anything. Or rather, he refuses to. He's to angry over everything, and over the fact he's sure Kyouya is hiding something. Maybe it's unrelated, but what if it isn't?

They'll just have to take their chances letting him go, or spend a long time waiting. He doesn't seem bent on agreeing.]

[...This fucking guy.

Ok well Mori will keep holding him but. They're seriously done here. He addresses Kyouya and any of the hosts still in the area.]

Just go.

Edited 2014-09-27 19:17 (UTC)

Eh? Are you staying with him, Takashi?

[ :T :T :T ]

If I must.

[but seriously, this fucking guy.]

I don't want to leave you all alone with him...!

[ Oh, time for the waterworks. ]

Mitsukuni...

[NO DON'T CRY you can stay

besides what is he really going to do about it when he's gotta hold this chump.]

[ WELL GOOD because he had no real intention of leaving his cousin alone with crazy angry guy...

Even if Takashi can clearly handle himself. ]

We should stick together, ne? Especially with things as they are...

[What. An. Asshole.

He's tempted to suggest Mori go throw this guy off the top of the roller coaster, but it would probably reflect poorly on their reputation. So instead, taking out his cell phone, holding it out, and casually flicking through the applications. Not long enough to read anything, just long enough to see it's all pretty basic and seems business related.]

Satisfied now? I have absolutely no interest in killing anyone, and if I did, I wouldn't leave the evidence in my cell phone.

[Putting the phone back in his pocket.]

Go. But if you make a nuisance of yourself again, don't expect anyone to tolerate it a second time.

[Your call, Mori. If he's done fighting, let him go on his way.]

[It's hard for him to even concentrate on the cellphone when his face is half in the dirt and his head is pounding, but he gets the gist of it.]

Just remember, anyone can say that. [His voice is a low and bitter mutter.]

Words are meaningless.

[.... Well, he's still an ass, but Mori is watching him carefully and it seems like he gets the point anyway. So he cautiously lets go.]

[Waiting to see if he makes any wrong moves.

Don't try them, move along.]

[Kurapika immediately leaps to his feet as soon as he's freed, and then leaps again to put distance between the. He does it all fast enough to not give Mori a chance to change his mind.

He changes his stance to something more defensive, raising his fists.]

Don't touch me again.

[Not intimidated.]

I won't, if you back off.
