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.

Of course! Bandmates stick together no matter what! Even if we're not able to do all the fun parts here, Ibuki'll be there for Clash-chan through all the unfun parts, and all the fun parts we manage to make. It's a promise!

[ band is 4 life or until they try to make you play popular stuff for talent scouts........

but that hadn't been the music she'd wanted to play with them. ]

[edealistical]

Do you believe me so unscrupulous?

I would request that I be executed tomorrow, for I would have sent an innocent unjustly to his death.

[edealistical]

My argument, actually, is that Missile was aware of Levi's claims, but chose to investigate him first.

[edealistical]

((Same argument is happening in our other thread, I think, so I'll let it play out there!))

[edealistical]

If I'm innocent, then Legion is guilty by virtue of my argument. If I'm guilty, then he is innocent. That is the choice you will make today.

I still have my pride as a knight - today I argue for what I believe can be the only possibility. If I am wrong, then I will face the punishment for my crimes without protest. If I am correct... then I believe I will have been exonerated barring another conversion.

Regardless, I will not lay down and die today.

[edealistical]

Not remembering Missile's presence is hardly surprising given the news that Levi had announced. I don't know if I can really believe what Miss Miko says - her ears may be fine, but this was several days ago, and much has happened since.

[fanbase]

Exactly. That's the whole point of a band. If they're gonna turn around and run when suddenly things look bad, then what kinda person are they? Definitely not someone you can trust.

[edealistical]

...Yes.

[She's not really sure why everyone's so surprised that she wants to fight for her life...]

I would like not to die today. I have... much I need to do, still.

[Her response is simple.]

[godwhisperer]

Yet the fact of the matter is, whether he understood but chose to investigate first or whether he failed to understand, he simply did not make a commotion. So you cannot argue he would have!

Missile...he attempted something difficult for him. He brought those pictures to K. He must not have known how to play his role, but wanted to stay safe to better protect us...it was those he brought the pictures to who failed him. They failed to understand. And until it had been long enough in the trial, Missile could not have realized they would not speak.

Once he realized, he acted and put his own life in danger to save Legion.

[murimurimuri]

Hmm... all right. Thanks. I don't have any more questions.

[cheats]

[ Ciel stares back at her evenly, but intensely. ]

Your pride as a knight... I suppose I can understand that. I have my pride as a nobleman. But then let me ask you something else— If you are guilty, what would your pride say to that?

[crueltobekind]

[The lack of panic is the surprising part here.]

No one does. I don't want to . . . hurt anyone either.

[belgian]

I didn't see Missile around either. I could have missed him, though, I guess! It's still true that Missile never said he actually checked Levi, and even admitted he didn't, though. I thought our decision was mostly based on how he was lying about being the detective! Which he was, even if we don't have definite proof Missile is the actual detective.

[ionicwoman]

But you protected him from that creep... [Anise pls, respect the dead]

[mediumburgers]

Of course!

Thank you! I really worked hard on it, I wasn't sure anyone would notice. [ She spent a solid five minutes on it, what an effort. ] Though... I guess it won't really help. I'm not sure anyone who's killed already cares about why they shouldn't, anymore.

[sunshade]

....is it really that shocking? [ this has patchy frowning deeper than usual ] She's fighting for her life here. Would you stand up for a person you'd known for four days if it meant you would be killed?

[fanbase]

Depending on the person? Yeah, I would.

Just because someone's being accused of being a killer doesn't mean they should go back on their word, especially if they're trying to prove their innocence.

[mediumburgers]

Fighting for her life doesn't mean she should betray a friend like that... if we all turn on each other so fast, what's the point? We'll all be dead if we don't stick by each other!

[dotdotdotstare]

[silent approval]

[edealistical]

[Edea has done many things she is ashamed of in her life, but to panic and to cry and beg would be shameful beyond belief.]

I know.

...If, it is acceptable to you all that I be chosen today, then I will accept it as well. ...Someone must. I only seek to convince you of my innocence.

[foetida]

Are you both stupid?

Unless we're way off base with translating him, Missile's claiming that he investigated Edea and found her guilty. There's no way they can both be innocent, not unless you think there aren't any VIPs in the first place or that Missile isn't getting accurate results. And if that's the case, then we shouldn't be voting at all!

[edealistical]

It's not... betrayal if he wants me to die...

[She understands that there are potential logical gaps in her argument here, but this is kind of stupid.]

[foetida]

I'm not. If we're going to assume that a dog is smart enough to understand what's going on in this game and even investigate people, then there's not reason to think he wouldn't be smart enough to do all that other stuff you were talking about.

But if his goal is to get us to trust him, then why would he accuse someone of being a VIP this early? Once we executed them, we'd know he was lying.

[dotdotdotstare]

Yeah.

[he believes in that dog B|]

[sunshade]

I have to concur, Edea being guilty or not. It's a flaw in judgement likely to get you killed in the long run. It can hardly be called betrayal if the individual in question is taking actions to have you executed.
