day two - afternoon

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day two 39 players remaining. [As the day wears on into the afternoon, the dead aren't getting any deader. It's late in the afternoon, and the air is beginning to cool, when the chimes play again over the park loudspeaker. "All of us here at Dreamland wish you luck, guests! Let's meet up in the Hall of Mirrors!" Wherever you are, it's time to make your way over to the House of Horrors, where you'll have to brave the funhouse to find the room on the top floor. Don't delay, or your guest identification bracelet will begin beeping. The House of Mirrors is a large room, more than capable of fitting a crowd. Tall mirrors line every wall, and the door you entered through seems to vanish into a mirror as well. The mirrors give the impression that many, many more are among your number, standing in the background. In the back is a jar filled with blank raffle tickets. You'll have to take a ticket, write down a name, and place it back in the jar. Hopefully you already know who you're voting for, but if not, you only have time for a brief discussion before you're out of time. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on September 27.

We have plenty of clues! You just have to look at the crime correctly! Like the fact that he has gunshot wounds, but whoever had the gun chose to shoot him in the leg rather than kill him. Wouldn't it be easier to shoot him dead? Why would they do that?

I'm not saying we don't have to vote tonight, but...I just don't think we should without looking at this first...

[edealistical]

I have to agree.

In the end, we might not come to any worthwhile conclusion, but we have several hours to make some more sense of what had happened. Sitting in silence contemplating Legion's fate isn't a good use of our time - even if we agree to vote for him now, we should at least give it some thought.

[a slight pause]

Although... I believe Legion is the only person said to use guns.

[chainjailer]

Natalia also knows archery but...that's a stretch. I just checked the profiles, and the only one that mentioned guns was Legion's.

[edealistical]

Archery is... very different from gunmanship.

[Coming from someone who knows some archery as well.]

Although the fact of the matter is, some of us come from places where there aren't guns - or they're exceedingly rare. I've never even seen one before the ones in the carnival.

[chainjailer]

I use nonlethal swords and marital arts myself, so I admit I'm not very familiar with the workings of either.

[A shrug. Kurapika generally didn't fight to kill.]

I've seen plenty of guns, but I don't like them. They're cheap.

[royalizing]

[ And like a true archer, she's offended by the comparison. ]

Guns are nothing like archery! Archery requires skill - strength and precision. One must be aware of your surroundings, applying the right amount of strength and aim while taking into account many other factors. You don't simply point and shoot!

[5_9]

[ robots don't get offended, but legion also feels the need to correct... ]

This is inaccurate. They are fairly similar. Especially with sniping. Complex calculations must be performed to be accurate.

[ a pause, then, ] For organics, this amounts to skill and strength.

[chainjailer]

Ahh... [He raises his hands apologetically.]

My mistake, of course. Like I said, I haven't used either.

[ionicwoman]

Don't lose your cool, Natalia.

[Sooo scaryyyy]

[ineptus]

It says Belgium can use a lot of different weapons. And you don't have to be experienced with a gun to use one...I can shoot a grappling hook really well, I'm sure I could probably shoot a gun too, and I'm only twelve!

[edealistical]

But you'd have to be at least a little experienced to shoot someone who was struggling, right?

[ineptus]

He wasn't struggling though! From the investigation we did, it looks like he didn't run and he wasn't fighting back. He was likely dodging his attacker and was probably shot to get him to stop it.

[chainjailer]

[Kurapika sighs and nods his head, pulling up the profiles.]

If they were using a gun to take him down first, they likely didn't have any hand-to-hand combat experience and instead were proficient with guns or simply found that was the best they could manage...

That gives us Ibuki, Constance, Oz, Royce, Ciel, ...the dog..., Francis, Charles, Maya, Simon, Mahiru, Natalia, Kenny, Kyouya, Gundam, Legion, Kaoru, you, Aya, Anna, Sigma, Dipper, and Tamaki.

[He lowers his wrist.]

[edealistical]

The dog? ...Really?

[chainjailer]

...I was listing them in order. [He just. Mumbles...] We shouldn't leave even the obvious ones out.

[edealistical]

Well. I don't think he can hold a gun and shoot it at the same time. He might be able to do one or the other...

[A slight cough.]

[poyoyon]

Ibuki's pretty sure Missile-chan can't use guns!

[ probably? ]

Unless he can transform into something with fingers!!

[edealistical]

That... would be incredibly bizarre and probably worth noting on his file.

[photoshot]

I've never shot anything besides a camera and danmaku.

[poyoyon]

Ibuki's never shot anything, either!

[chainjailer]

A danmaku?

[mediumburgers]

From that list, it sounds like you just have something against cute and good-looking people!

[chainjailer]

[He just...stares at her for a good minute.]

To each their own.

[photoshot]

That certainly seems so, right? [ MAYAYA HI5?? ]

[ionicwoman]

Boo! Why aren't I on that list?

[PRIORITIES, ANISE!!]
