day three - aftermath

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day three 33 players remaining. As the voting period comes to an end, a bell goes off from the ticket machine, and the metal bars blocking the tunnel at the end of the Hall of Mirrors lifts. A voice speaks over the loudspeaker: "Attention, guests! Please make your way onto the ride! For your safety, keep your hands and arms inside and do not attempt to leave your seat!" Through the tunnel, single cars on a track stop and wait for each remaining player to step on. Don't dawdle, or your bracelet will begin to beep a warning. Once in a car, the safety bar locks you tightly inside, unable to move. The car trundles along a dark, twisting track, nearly veering into cartoonish obstacles, but veering away at the last moment. Music and cackling laughter echoes loudly through the ride as you drive faster and faster. Suddenly, your car veers off to the left, through a courtroom, where a towering cartoon judge threatens to bang a gavel. Your car jerks and evades, but somewhere, before one car can pass, the gavel comes down and the car spins off to the side, through a dark doorway. Each car comes to the end of the ride, but doesn't stop, and instead jerks into motion and, even faster, veers through the ride a second time. This time, your car does not enter the courtroom, but the doors to your left nonetheless open, showing instead of a courtroom a red room burning with cartoon flames. Above the flames hangs a corpse in a noose. The body of Edea Lee hangs from a red rope noose, as a cackling voices pronounces: Guilty! The ride turns away once more, and comes to a stop. A list of votes has been posted on the wall. You now have the rest of the evening to explore the park, before night comes again. One more thing: because of the successful execution of a VIP today, you now have a chance to vote for a MVP. MVP vote character statuses private conversations graveyard This is a general post-vote mingle encompassing the time from the end of the trial (about 5 PM until the fireworks at 11 PM). You are encouraged and welcome to backtag discussions in this post until the next day post, or to have afternoon private conversations.

Villains who believe themselves heroes, a Detonator who kills in the name of the VIPs, people disappearing in the middle of the day with nary an explanation... everything is being stacked against us.

[jingler]

Yes. Though we at least have the buddy cops and detective to assist and one of them is certainly confirmed now.

[shoutoku_administrator]

I wonder what's become of the buddy cops? I expect we'll find out when one of them dies.

[jingler]

Please don't make such dire predictions. I'm certain if they have something of note to say, they may come in contact with Missile now.

[shoutoku_administrator]

I didn't mean it as a dire prediction. It's sound strategy - when one of them dies, the other has nothing to lose, for they will die a day later. It's the best time for them to come forward.

[jingler]

Well we don't know if they will die within a day. The rulebook says "may be" able to survive, not that they will for certain.

Damnable rulebook. Why can't it be more clear on how they intend to kill us?
