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.

Yes. And that is why I think he was acting on his own.

If someone had trained him to try and clear Legion, and pin the blame on Edea, then he would have done so immediately and would not have waited until the last minute like he did, is that not so? Because the people training him would have known that we were still suspecting Legion and would have prompted him to act sooner.

I don't think that's true.

I think waiting until the last minute was crucial for Levi to be unable to swing things around his way. If he'd revealed himself at the very beginning of the trial, Levi could have explained everything, explained his reasons for believing Legion guilty... and Legion still would have been executed.

As it was, no one believed a single thing he said. The delay was strategically necessary.

[unbridledjoy]

I do not think we would have believed him if he had explained. Everyone was very mad that he was lying.

Trying to explain after he was confirmed to be a liar wouldn't make us believe him... because we would think that everything he was saying was only being said to keep himself safe.

[A pause, and Starfire looks a little uncomfortable.]

...that is sort of like what is happening to you right now.

Plus, Levi wasn't really the explaining type, was he? He was always like "believe me or not, do whatever, I don't care" and so on.

I think Missile just took a bit to catch on to what we were talking about, and it did take a while to decipher the barking.
