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.

Everyone, it seems that Missile is claiming to be detective over Levi. I have proof of this claim.

[He rustles in the inside of his robe and pulls out a newspaper picture from Aya's paper, with a torn picture of Levi.]

Earlier today after Yuya's death, I received this picture underneath my door. There was no message and it was torn up and damp as though water had touched it. At the time I wasn't certain, but now I am. The one who sent me this message was Missile. The dampness was drool and there was no message because Missile could not write one.

In addition, I went to Levi with this information and he told me there that he did not actually clear Missile last night as he claimed but instead received a report on Yuya. But how convenient it is, to receive a report about Yuya and make mention of it after Yuya was already dead.

Everything makes sense now. Levi sent the anonymous message and then voted for Legion, using it as his proof that he is the detective. He made a very lucky pick on his role -- Missile could not properly counter-claim it. That is why he sent me this picture: he wanted someone to know the truth.

[He looks to Missile and then shows off the torn image to the dog.]

You, sent this? Yes?

[photoshot]

Ah--I received the same.

Was Levi's the only photograph?

[jingler]

No, there was a second. But I do not think I should reveal who it was of in public. At the time I didn't understand why that picture was there, but now I see. Missile was showing the image of person he received results on last night.

However, I also know you received the photo as well. I spoke with the person in the second photo in private and they confirmed it to me.

[belgian]

He really is a clever dog! [They have an adorable detective!]

[jingler]

Yes. I feel only shame that I could not decipher the meaning of this sooner. But with this in mind, things are starting to come together.

[paws_and_rewind]

[ Oh! That picture is...

Missile dances around and barks! He sounds much less aggressive than he did in his earlier frantic fits.

Also a little more hoarse. He's been barking a great deal, after all! ]

[jingler]

So it was you! I thought as much, after speaking to the person in the second picture.

[photoshot]

[ PATS DOGE what a good boy!! ]

You did well in letting us know. Good work!

[belgian]

Missile! [Smiling! Come here cute puppy!] Just to make things clear. Did you investigate Levi last night? [She wonders if he understands investigate. Well, she'll find out.]

[godwhisperer]

[Scratches his ear.]

Good boy. You are so brave and noble. Yes, you are. Yes, you are.

[Tossing him a scrap of beef jerky.]

[shortcutter]

I don't deny it. I'm not the real detective.

But if Missile is really one of the buddy cops, then he should know that I'm not a VIP, either. My intention was to deceive the VIPs — to see how they would react. I gave Kurapika a written note explaining this, and told Aaya last night as well.

I'm not your enemy. I don't mind suffering the consequences for the risk I took, but you'll be wasting your vote killing me.

[photoshot]

I'll confirm that Mr. Levi did not know the symbol identifying the anonymous detective. He's not the note-sender. Whoever that is remains a mystery.

[jingler]

...Levi, I'm sorry, but this is far too much. You have been hindering us more than you have been helping and you have been misguiding us to lynch Legion under the pretense of being the detective.

Perhaps you aren't a VIP, but at this stage I feel as though it is foolish for you to continue in this game regardless. You are not helping.

[Cold, yes, but it's his honest opinion.]

[ionicwoman]

What the hell are you playing at?! You put us all in danger!

[foetida]

Are you serious? How dare you? [Nanami looks like she's about to slap Levi - the only thing that's holding her back is that he's old enough to still be intimidating to her.]

We wasted so much time because we thought you were telling the truth! What if we really had executed Legion and he was innocent? His blood would have been entirely on your hands!

[sparklyrichbastard]

Shame on you, toying with everyone like that!

[mediumburgers]

So you admit it! You're a lying liar who lies! We can't believe a word you say!

[siggey]

...

...

I've got just one question for you, Levi. What kind of soldier are you, in term of ranks?

[billows]

... You're kidding.

[terci]

I knew we couldn't trust Levi's claims! [OH MAN THIS IS KIND OF EXCITING he may have been off with his theory earlier, but he had a gut feeling Levi had been lying and seeing this evidence made him feel extremely proud.]

[sparklyrichbastard]

Missile.............. is a wonder dog.

[ionicwoman]

Ooooh! I knew he couldn't be trusted! He's been screwing with us the whole time!

[She mad!]

[5_9]

We are inclined to agree.

[ Legion offers gently, though its voice is still emotionless otherwise. ]

Calculations would suggest that Levi misleading us is likely a calculated move. He is likely to be a VIP.

Note

[chainjailer]

...You think he killed Yuya?

[Kurapika's eyes light up, the rage behind them barely contained. He can't deny this possibility. His reaches into his tabard and pulls out a folded up piece of paper.]

I'm sorry... I hadn't opened it until just a minute ago, and I was only told to open it once he died. I should have done it sooner.

Some of your claims don't match up, but it's possible that this note was only made to protect him... By manipulating me. He's admitted he handed it to me now, so there's no point in keeping it a secret, not that I planned to any longer. [Kurapika is furious, because he's not sure who to believe.]

[He will read the letter aloud.]

I am not the real detective. My intention was to cause confusion among the VIPs, to shield the true one, or at the very least to draw attention away from the other innocent people. I chose to trust you, so use this information however you want.

P.S. The newspaper woman also knows.

[ineptus]

Ah!! [Mabel jumps up and down, pointing at K while doing so.]

I knew he was innocent! I knew Legion was innocent!
