day four - afternoon

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day four 31 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 11 PM EST on October 3.

If that's true then I will recant, as promised.

Then who do you propose?

[flatview]

I still say we vote for the one person who seemed to be volunteering for the job. ♥ And she's a single, after all.

[ SORRY STARFIRE ]

[godwhisperer]

...if she volunteers, I would vote. I would not betray her choice. But u would hear her speak.

[flatview]

Well then, where is the little lady...?

[chronic]

You don't get to decide that! What's wrong with you?!

[flatview]

He asked my opinion. I gave it to him.

[chronic]

You're breaking my balls, Nui.

[ this sounds so stupid in his tiny Batman voice. he swooshes his cape and leaps away. ]

[crueltobekind]

No. If she were a VIP who wanted out, she'd say she was one. Just offering herself for sacrifice without claiming to be a VIP makes her sound like someone innocent trying to prevent more death. If we want to try to get a VIP out tonight, I don't think voting for her is the way to do it. Even flimsy evidence sounds better to me than that.

[fanbase]

You really don't mean that, do you?

[flatview]

She offered herself up. So many of you keep talking about saving as many people as possible. If you lynch one instead of two, there's a one person difference.

Granted, I don't know if Francis-kun is a VIP. I don't know if he has a role at all. But I'm a plain ol' regular guest. ♪

[eventhandler]

How do we know whether we can believe you? You could be, ah, a VIP trying to save her life...

[flatview]

I have some physical evidence. But K-san already said it doesn't matter to him if I'm innocent or not, if Francis-kun could be a VIP. If so many of you end up thinking that, it's functionally useless.

[eventhandler]

What is your physical evidence? It may not...matter to K, but it may matter to the rest of us.

[paws_and_rewind]

[ Did someone say evidence?! Missile barks. ]

[flatview]

Ohh...alright!

Sorry Tanaka and Missile-chan, you're probably gonna be mad at me. [ as she liked missile quite a lot........and it would screw doge over a little bit

Nui reaches in the folds of her dress to withdraw a paper and a photograph of herself. The letter is: ]

Listen, human, and tremble!

I, Calamity's Dark Blade: the Avenging Miss-L, Revered Demon Detective of the Spirit Realm, now speak unto you. Heed my words or fear my wrath!

I possess the images of all the beings who have trespassed into my park. On the images of those who are cleared of suspicion, I have emblazoned my own true symbol, made with the power of my sharpened and glistening fangs. Those possessing such an image have been examined by me, and have been deemed...acceptable. If you do need to compare the symbols, there is a photo of my own visage with these markings hidden under the cans of sweet potatoes in the kitchen.

Should you come to see a shredded photo, however, do not hesitate! That fiend has been judged, and has been found wanting!

These photos and this message are my totems of protection. Keep it secret, keep it safe. And above all, do not offend me, or you will know my dreadful wrath.

Now, feed me for my efforts, ensuring the meagre offering you bestow upon me contains neither overmuch sodium nor tiny bones upon which I could choke.

Tread carefully now,

[ at the bottom is a vaguely Satanic-looking symbol with a pawprint design. Nui's photo clearly has Missile-shaped bite marks in it, but is intact. ]

Missile-chan gave this to me earlier today.

[godwhisperer]

...!

[Looking at this. Wow. He's never seen this before. Huh. How unusual.]

Very well. I cannot speak for Francis, but you are innocent.

[crueltobekind]

Ah—right . . . there's no guarantee for him, is there?

[crueltobekind]

WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOW US THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?!

[chronic]

.......................Jesus fucking Christ Gundam.

[foetida]

Why didn't you pull this out earlier?

You idiot! Look at all this time we've wasted when we could have been talking about someone else!

[mediumburgers]

...! Why didn't you give this to us sooner!

[fanbase]

Even I know we can't save as many people as we want to. We've still gotta take out the VIPs though.

Look... I don't wanna kill two people either, but you're barely making an argument in trying to save yourself!

[flatview]

What do you want me to do, then? What would you do if your life was on the line?

[ mostly she's interested in stirring up shit tbh ]

[fanbase]

I wouldn't make myself look so guilty for one, that's obvious.

You're just assuming we'd vote for someone because she said she would rather be voted for if nothing turns up. You know we wouldn't be dumb enough to go along with that without questioning it.

[chainjailer]

What would executing somebody who's likely innocent solve? I'd rather have a conversion than this. We aren't helping ourselves by doing this.

If anything, you're sounding like a VIP suggesting that.
