day three

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day three 34 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 and look for the bodies, too!" You will have until 4 PM to explore the park and talk amongst yourselves. Somewhere in the park, you'll find the bodies of Dipper Pines and Mahiru Koizumi. rulebook character statuses private conversations graveyard Voting will close at 10 PM EST on September 30. Though a special post for discussion will go up shortly before voting, you are encouraged to discuss who to vote for throughout the day. Voting

He didn't do anything wrong. [ Like that matters. ] There are a few people with friends here, aren't there? It must be on purpose.

[photoshot]

[ ha ha that's cold. ]

I think friends of Mr. Kuzuryuu would have had all doubt of that erased yesterday.

[cheats]

[ Unsurprisingly (at least at this point), Ciel glances away, though he doesn't reject the compliment with his usual vigor. It's more like a roll of his eyes and a half-hearted grumble. ]

I can't do it for everyone, since I don't like the idea of doing something that important just because it's expected, but...

[ He shrugs, trying to play it off ] We can up with something decent, at least.

[crueltobekind]

Maybe all of this is getting to you too.

[sparklyrichbastard]

[Instantly deflating]

...Well. Of course it is.

[sparklyrichbastard]

[That's just fine with Tamaki. The hugging does not stop until Mabel decrees it to be so.]

I know it's not the same, but I'm here for you.

[royalizing]

[ Natalia will hug her tightly, rubbing her back in soothing circles. It wasn't the same, but still, she remembers being so young and so certain that her entire world was gone. ]

Will you tell me about him?

[crueltobekind]

. . . Sorry.

[eventhandler]

...Perhaps a neutral role, yes. One that is aimed on balancing the game?

I do not, well, think that they deal cotton candy, however.

[eventhandler]

...I'm afraid I can't tell you what you have to do.

[He steps back a little, just to give her some space, his hand withdrawn. Royce isn't a stranger to death, but...he always found it easier to just throw himself into his work after an event like that. Other people...they don't have that luxury.]

All we can do, really, is...find the person responsible. He will not have died in vain.

[eventhandler]

It would be very hard, I think, to bring one's self to vote to put a dog to death...so your statement has some merit.

But yes, our detective...he or she will be well hidden, if your theory is true.

[sparklyrichbastard]

There's no need to apologize. That's simply the way it is.

I would still recommend befriending Missile. He's very fluffy.

[ineptus]

A-about Dipper?

[That gets her to calm down her tears a little.]

[royalizing]

Yes. [ She sounds like she's calmed down a bit, so Natalia sits back on her heels and reaches out to wipe away some stray tears with her handkerchief. Then she'll offer it to Mabel. ]

As long as we remember him, he will never truly be gone.

[murimurimuri]

[Keyes tends to avoid crowds, particularly the ones looking at bodies (or parts of them), but he's been hovering on the outskirts of this one. Eventually, reluctantly, he approaches Francis.]

E-excuse me...

[crueltobekind]

. . . I still wish he were a cat instead.

[ineptus]

[She's quiet after that, sniffling and hiccuping a little as she thinks on that. She uses the handkerchief to wipe at her eyes - much better than her sweater - before finally speaking.]

Well...Dipper...D-Dipper was probably the best twin and brother a girl could ask for...we did everything together! We dressed up in m-matching costumes for Halloween and...we started a scrapbook to remember our Halloween adventures in. And we would sit around in our room reading together...or we'd watch cartoons and TV together.

This summer we were staying in this little town called Gravity Falls with our Grunkle Stan and he found this journal...and it detailed all these mysterious things about this town and he believed all of it, because he always believed in stuff like that. And he was right! Our first day after finding this journal, I almost got married to a bunch of gnomes! And when I refused to marry them, they attacked us! Dipper was really smart and brave though, and he used this golf cart to get away from them...

[She's smiling sadly, picking at her sweater a little.]

He's always been really smart and really brave. We went through so many really weird and dangerous things together, but he always knew how to get out of them...and he always protected me. Whenever we had to escape something, he always made sure I was r-right...r-r-right with him...

[Nope, here come the tears again.]

[ineptus]

[What if you're stuck with a baby koala for the rest of the "game", Tamaki? What if one day you're murdered and you have to deal with a baby koala stuck to your chest for that? What would you do then?

Are you sure you want to leave this up to Mabel?]

Th-thank you...thank you, Tamaki!

[sparklyrichbastard]

Hm... understood.

[There are some kind of wheels turning in that brain of his...]

[sparklyrichbastard]

[Didn't you know, my dear? I love koalas. And not just the kind filled with chocolate, either.]

Don't hesitate to ask me for anything, okay? And that goes for my friends, too.

[crueltobekind]

. . . What are you thinking about?

[chainjailer]

Exactly. It seems more than a little suspicious to me, but this could always be a set-up too. It might be best to verify if Edea is a VIP or not first, and vote for her tonight.

[sparklyrichbastard]

It's a secret!

[crueltobekind]

Please don't get into trouble.

[sparklyrichbastard]

I'm not going to!
