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.

[ no don't remind him that anise exists... Ciel just sighs. ]

...Let me guess. Money? There is only one reason people are so immediately interested in me.

[ Natalia's classier than to outright confirm or deny that but... ]

Don't worry, it isn't just you. She's been that way since the day I met her, clinging to the arm of my then-fiance. It was infuriating! [ There's a slightly fond if exasperated smile on her face even so. ]

It is irritating.

[ Ciel sighs more heavily as he shakes his head, but he's actually sort of pleased to hear of someone else being engaged, he finds. He was starting to feel weird that he was apparently the only one. ]

I told her I was already engaged, but she didn't seem to want to listen.

[ And Natalia also chided her for veering wildly off topic during a trial, but- ]

That's Anise for you. [ Then her smile turns slightly coy. ] Although... you two are the same age, aren't you?
