day two - aftermath

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day two 38 players remaining. As the voting period comes to an end, a bell goes off from the ticket machine, and the metal bars blocking the tunnel at the end of the Hall of Mirrors lifts. A voice speaks over the loudspeaker: "Attention, guests! Please make your way onto the ride! For your safety, keep your hands and arms inside and do not attempt to leave your seat!" Through the tunnel, single cars on a track stop and wait for each remaining player to step on. Don't dawdle, or your bracelet will begin to beep a warning. Once in a car, the safety bar locks you tightly inside, unable to move. The car trundles along a dark, twisting track, nearly veering into cartoonish obstacles, but veering away at the last moment. Music and cackling laughter echoes loudly through the ride as you drive faster and faster. Suddenly, your car veers off to the left, through a courtroom, where a towering cartoon judge threatens to bang a gavel. Your car jerks and evades, but somewhere, before one car can pass, the gavel comes down and the car spins off to the side, through a dark doorway. Each car comes to the end of the ride, but doesn't stop, and instead jerks into motion and, even faster, veers through the ride a second time. This time, your car does not enter the courtroom, but the doors to your left nonetheless open, showing instead of a courtroom a red room burning with cartoon flames. Above the flames hangs a corpse in a noose. The body of Levi hangs from a white rope noose, as a cackling voices pronounces: Innocent The ride turns away once more, and comes to a stop. A list of votes has been pinned on the wall for your perusal.

[Oh no, sad puppy.] It's okay! You did your best. He shouldn't have been claiming to be the detective anyway.

heeeeeeen

[ If he'd done his best, then they wouldn't have lost an innocent but not very nice person!

...And they still have to do this again and again and again! He doesn't know exactly how many times. He's a very smart dog, but once numbers get higher than three it kind of all sludges into "lots" and "lots and lots". ]

[Belgium will try to pet the sadness away!] The medical team will protect you [or they'd better] so you can keep trying to help us out. If you want, I can make you some dinner.

[ Keep trying... She's right!

He can't lie down and give up! ...Well, he can lie down for a while, but he can't give up.

He doesn't react beyond a reflexive ear twitch when she offers dinner - seeing a human body and going through the scariest ride in the world isn't all that good for his appetite. ]

I'll make you something you can take to your room with you. [She can put it in a cute little basket!]

[ Missile could probably understand that if he tried really hard, but his mental energy is pretty far down right now. Her tone is pleasant and not all that urgent so he just wags at her to show appreciation. ]
