day three - afternoon

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day three 34 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 30.

[Belgium is her new favorite go away everybody else.

Edea will stare at the chocolate for a few moments before unapologetically swallowing as much as she can before she gets killed.]

...........thank you.

[mediumburgers]

[ Comforting words seem kind of pointless when they are executing someone, but. ]

I wish we knew a better way to stop this... and I promise, we'll do our best to find it. For you, and everyone else who's gone.

[ Maya throws her arms around Edea in a hug, because it feels like the thing to do. ]

[belgian]

I'm sorry I don't have more for you. Even if you're a VIP, you don't seem like a bad person.

[edealistical]

A-Ah...

[No one has known awkward small talk better than the girl who is 5 minutes from her execution.]

I... I liked the water guns. ...With Natalia. They were a great deal of fun.

...I'd never used a gun before.

[mediumburgers]

I know... and I wouldn't want you to! I just. I just wish no one was going to die at all. I'm sorry.

[edealistical]

[She seems surprised for a moment before she reciprocates.]

Please... do your best. Do not lose hope and try to believe in each other, every one.

That's all I can ask.

[jingler]

Yes. We will strive to fight against them however we can.

[cheats]

[ That seems to upset him, though, and his jaw sets angrily. ]

Preposterous. That's all you have to say? If you're guilty, you've killed people here no differently than a madman. Your hanging would be too kind.

[edealistical]

[swallows]

N-No, it's alright. ...You should actually probably keep it.

[returns half-eaten chocolate]

It's a bit pointless to feed someone who is about to die... Thank you, though.

[edealistical]

[She nods. ...She can believe that of him.]

...May I ask you something?

[a pause]

Did you know already, yesterday when we spoke, what Missile truly meant?

[royalizing]

[ Natalia musters a smile back. She refuses to abstain out of cowardice, and let the VIPs convert more people, which means she's going to vote no matter what. She is a princess, one day to be queen, and that means having responsibility for other people's lives on her hands. ]

That would be all the more reason to confirm it, wouldn't it? Everyone was convinced, yet Levi was innocent. If there was a possibility that someone [ or some dog, rather ] who we all trusted was actually lying, that seems more dangerous to me than wasting a night investigating the detective.

[sunshade]

...my condolences. But, if I am recalling, the most desirable trait of a knight is their integrity, correct?

[jingler]

...No. I truly believed you. Even now, I think I want to believe in you.

[edealistical]

Of course. The oaths we swear to serve and to protect... above all else.

[She isn't sure where Patchouli is going with this.]

[edealistical]

[A slight smile.]

I would have thanked you... for allowing me an easier night's sleep.

I would like to believe in myself as well...

[jingler]

No one can take belief away from you Edea. That much I feel confident in saying about your character.

[harepiece]

[Though Oz has been quiet for most of this trial because someone named aki has been away like a loser, HE WILL APPROACH EDEA NOW.]

...Regardless of the results tonight, I— want you to know that you seem like a good person to me. [Seem, rather than seemed.] And that even though I wasn't able to know you for long, I'm glad I got to meet you at all.

[royalizing]

[ Right in the heart... ]

I... enjoyed it, too. Especially when we were competing to get to the top.

[siggey]

[ I'm not going to talk to her about what's coming when everyone's made up their minds. I feel like walking on air myself, it's crazy enough to be talking to anyone knowing they'll probably be dead in a few minutes.

I do my best to push the feelings aside. ]

The toy ones are the best ones anyway, trust me on that one.

[ I manage to grin back, but what she said sinks in.

"I'd never used a gun before."

I believe her. ]

How'd you do?

[edealistical]

K...

[Some level of her feels that K understands her greatest fears... and for that, she is truly grateful.]

I'm glad you can still say that, even now. My... character - it's something that I've always taken pride in...

[edealistical]

Goodbye, Natalia.

[She will smile a little bit.]

Thank you for being a friend to me... You'll see it again tomorrow, I think, but - I'd like you to have my carnival tickets.

[edealistical]

Not... so good at first.

I managed to spray myself in the face in the first shot, but to be fair, I didn't really understand the concept of 'point and click' yet.

[She can understand what he's doing and appreciate it, anyway.]

[edealistical]

[Oz receives a warm smile.]

I feel the same way.

[because you showed her the candy]

I am truly glad I've been able to meet everyone here... regardless of the circumstances.

[royalizing]

[ This time Natalia will give her a determined look. ]

Edea... thank you. I promise, I'll put them to good use. For your sake, for all our sakes, to put an end to all of this.

[harepiece]

[HE SURE DID. remember him fondly as the harbinger of sweets...

He'll try to offer her a smile in return, either way, even though it falls kind of shy of his usual sunny ones.]

Me, too. I'm... sorry that things happened this way.
