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.

He just handed me that note, like I said. [He sounds tired.]

[photoshot]

Was that really all?

[chainjailer]

He said it might not be very useful if he wasn't killed that night. But besides that, I already said everything. The conversation wasn't very long.

[photoshot]

He was innocent, took an unneeded risk, and paid for it.

[chainjailer]

Had he been shielding the real detective, it would have been one thing. But we've accomplished nothing...

[ she seems about to say something, then stops, at a loss for words. a rarity for her. ]

[chainjailer]

Something on your mind?

[photoshot]

He told me that he'd made preparations for his death, but I suppose that note really was all it was after all.

[chainjailer]

I guess so. Since he's not a VIP, his intentions... I'm still not sure what he was thinking. I still don't know if he killed Yuya, but I assume now his intentions weren't to use me.

...I really don't know.

[photoshot]

He explained a bit of his reasoning for claiming detective to me. I'd like to publish it in tomorrow's issue, if possible.

[chainjailer]

Just don't sensationalize it.

[It's tasteless, is what he refrains from saying.]

[photoshot]

That won't be an issue.

[chainjailer]

Good.
