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.

Just because of that, they kill a child?

The VIPs would really go that far just to keep him quiet...? Most of who he listed last night are way older than him and it's not like anybody actually believed there was any merit to that anyway!

He was only trying to help. It would have been impossible to narrow down.

Right and unless this is some sorta frame job to make one of those people look bad...

[ She looks uneasy upon remembering she's one of those people Dipper accused. ]

Surely no one would have been scared by that. Unless he narrowed down a few of them.

He had to, right? If it was just one then they could have ignored it, but if there were a few of them... that might have made them nervous. Even if a lot of people didn't take it seriously.

[ A frustrated look as he tries to think back to the names. ] Oh, it's useless. We can't distinguish one from the other. Only the detective is useful here.

Yeah, he listed at least eight or nine people, right? There's no way we can distinguish any of them as the VIP unless their alignment's been confirmed...

Still, I don't want someone thinking I killed a kid just because he thought I killed someone!

Is that what you're worried about? At least wait to see what everyone's thinking first.

Of course I'm worried about it! I don't even want to be thought of as a person who'd ever do something like this, especially after last night. Would you?

[ No but he can still pretend to be superior. ] This is all such a mess, I can only hope we won't execute based on nothing again. Who can prove themselves, really?

[ She sighs and crosses her arms. Clash turns her back toward the trains so she doesn't have to look what's inside. ]

The only person who can help us is the detective, but they can only look at one person each night... which means we're doomed if they find an innocent person rather than a VIP. If that note and the one announcement in the paper are right, then that's two out of possibly eight. There would still be six more to figure out...

Can't someone proven innocent be good for something? Confiding in them and all—though... [ Looking back in the direction of the bulletin board. ] I wonder if we have more problems than the VIP.

There would be a lot more trust, that's for sure. We'd know who could investigate certain things and talk to certain people without turning on us, but stopping this thing means we've got to know all of the VIPs. There's nothing we can do about the Detonator and who they've been giving keys to until we know who they are, that way we'd be able to stop them from allowing even more pointless deaths.

He was...a smart boy.

[Royce doesn't look pleased at all - his expression is turned downwards into a disapproving frown.]

These VIPS...they are truly, very truly...without moral. To kill a child, just because of his inquiries? It's despicable. Utterly despicable...

I think they're just trying to make this worse and worse for us, so we'll slip up and make another mistake like yesterday. It's been going in their favor the past two days.

Either Dipper mentioned one of those VIPs or they're just trying to make everyone suspicious of the people who he thought killed Fuyuhiko.

Or, perhaps, they...they are showing us how far they are willing to take this...

[A pause as he sighs.]

We need to be careful, now. If he was truly killed for his insights, then...we have to keep our own investigations a little less open. They would kill anyone who has information, it seems...

If we can't even investigate without fearing for our lives, that means they're just trying to take control of the situation and gain the upper hand.

I wonder who the detective and the buddy cops were protecting last night.

...I think you mean the medical team, don't you? The, uh, detective and buddy cop, they can only "investigate".

But I would suspect, perhaps, the dog was protected this time...

Right, yeah whatever. It's hard to remember everything.

[ She's too focused on seeing Dipper's body and feeling nervous about Mabel's reaction to keep her thoughts on the semantics of all the roles. She tears her eyes away to keep her mind on the conversation. ]

Guess that makes sense. I mean, I don't think he's the detective, but if he's the way to get the detective's findings across then it's a good idea to keep him alive.

Understandable.

[It's hard to look upon the scene of death, but for Royce, it's easy to let his mind wander into the realms of logic and reason instead of focusing on something like this. The last statement makes him raise an eyebrow.]

You don't think he is the detective? [He looks over, looking curious.] How come? Because the dog insinuated Levi, and Levi turned out to be innocent...?

Well, remember how we couldn't believe the anonymous note because it was too hard to figure out the legitimacy of it? What if the detective's using Missile to get their message across because there's no other way to do it?

Even I said that it'd be better if there was a way the detective could show their findings without using the newspaper. Missile just might be the messenger for the detective.

...That was something I had not considered, but there may be...there may be some, ah, merit to it, yes.

Do you truly believe that the first note was truly written by the detective? Because, if so, Legion is a VIP...

It's hard to tell. For all we know, someone could have sent that trying to lure out the detective. The detective laid low and kept watch, listening to what people were saying about needing a better way to communicate their findings.

So, they figured that by using Missile, they wouldn't have to compromise their situation. People like Missile, they're more willing to listen to him anyway.

And in that way, they would continue to be kept secret, and could do their work while the dog poses as them...

...How did the dog figure out who was the detective, however? Did the detective just tell them since there was...a very poor chance they would tell someone else...?
