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.

[terci]

Let's try thinking of this more thoroughly. Like, what kind of person out of the list do you think would use a sledge-hammer as a weapon? Assuming they were allowed to pick instead of being given a random one. [As for the other guy... he's trying to think of other angles about it, but it's hard when you don't have anything to go off of besides two bullet wounds.]

[ineptus]

Hmmm...

[Flipping back through the list.]

Well...Clash seems like she might. If she didn't pick something cool like a guitar or her symbols! And...

[Squints at the profiles this is hard when you don't know a lot about a lot of your suspects...]

...mmmmaybe Mori? Or maybe Sigma...I don't know. Some of these profiles say they use swords and stuff...

[terci]

Okay, then I'll mark those three. [Putting lil stars next to their names]


..hey, wait. Do any profiles say anything about being good with guns? [He's just going out on a limb here but..]

[ineptus]

Ummm.... [Flipping through the profiles, flipping through the profiles...]

Legion is the only one. And it says he likes sniper rifles most?

[And then she pauses for a moment, reading over something else.]

Dipper, a mace is a blunt weapon, right?

[terci]

[Quietly makes a mark next to Legions name]

Oh yeah, definitely.

[ineptus]

You should add Sheba too then. It says she's skilled with staves and maces.

[terci]

[He nods]

Okay, adding Sheba to the list. [Adding, adding]

[ineptus]

I think that's really it this time. [Crossing her arms and legs, she looks over Kuzuryuu's body again.]

...we'll definitely figure out who did this, Hiko. It's not going to be like last trial!

[terci]

[Dipper smiles, a little sadly, and nods in agreement.]

We should probably think about the guy with the gun, then. [Getting another piece of paper ready.]

This is going to be hard.. I mean, almost anyone could use a gun!

[ineptus]

Missile couldn't! [Mabel grins as if that one tiny piece of information will help them narrow it down further than 37 suspects.]

[terci]

Of course the dog couldn't! [Yes thank you Mabel it definitely helps.]

[ineptus]

[Aren't you glad she's on your team.]

Okay, okay. But I think we should start this list by figuring out who probably couldn't use a gun as well as others could instead.

[terci]

Yeah, that's a good idea! I think it was probably someone with at least a little experience with guns...

[ineptus]

Yeah! ...oh but wait, none of these list if they've had a little experience...like I don't think Ibuki would know how to use a gun, but what if she has fired one before? Even if only on accident?

[terci]

That's true.. [HMMM..]

Then I guess you'll have to make some guesses?

[ineptus]

Alright. [Pursing her lips, she starts flipping through the profiles again.]

Okay, so I still don't think Ibuki is likely. Patchouli probably not, because it says she's all about magic and stuff and magic people usually use magic, right? Tamaki definitely not. I don't think Amazing Anise is possible either...she's a puppeteer! Ummm...Maya and Simon don't have much written about them at all. So maybe not them either?

[terci]

Okay, that's a good start. [doot doot writing their names down under a list of "not-gun suspects"]

Ugh, if only there were more clues! How are we supposed to catch someone using a gun if we only have the wounds to go off of?

[ineptus]

[She's still going through the list as he asks that, humming in thought.]

Is there any way to tell when someone's used a gun? [She doesn't know if there is or isn't but.]

Oh, add Ciel to that list. I don't think he could hit Kuzuryuu's legs if he tried. No depth perception.

[terci]

I don't... think so? [Adds no-depth-perception Ciel to the list]

Unless, like, they got gunpowder on themselves or something. But I think they'd be smart to wash it off if that were the case.

[ineptus]

Hm...yeah...

[And it's not like it wouldn't be suspicious if they went around demanding to look at everyone's hands. And they were trying to avoid being suspicious.]

Kaoru maybe? Other than that, I think everyone else could probably use a gun...at least a little. Well except Missile, of course.

[terci]

I think Kaoru probably could use a gun... [He was kind of a rude guy, so Dipper could see it being a possibility.]

That leaves... a whole lot of suspects on the gun front.

[ineptus]

If you're sure! And hmmm...alright, so what else can we use to narrow this down? Is there anything else weird about this? Or maybe about the wounds?

[Just hopping to her feet to dawdle over to his leg. Gonna inspect these now!]

Other than the fact they didn't shoot him dead anyway.

[terci]

[He's gonna do the same and inspect the wounds with her]

...why did they only shoot one leg? [That's a little weird]

[ineptus]

...maybe it's because that's the side they were on? If they were on that side of their partner, they wouldn't want to shoot through their partner to hit his other leg...

[That is a little weird, yeah.]

[terci]

I guess that makes sense... [It's still hella weird]

What are the chances of them being able to hit his leg on their first try, though? And why the leg? I think they could've shot his shoulder or chest or something and he'd stop long enough to get hit..
