42 players remaining.

[Once the announcements are over, there's no further response from the voice over the intercom. The afternoon wears on, demanding nothing more of you. The park will remain open until late in the evening, when the fireworks go off, but you can always go back earlier.

In fact, it might be wise to gather your fellow players and discuss what you've learned in the mess hall.]

This is a mingle following the plot revelations yesterday! Characters can gather in the mess hall and discuss what they've learned and make plans. Night will go up at the same time, and this post will be backdated.

Right!

[ She actually seems really happy that someone is agreeing with her. Clash grins. ]

42 people is a lot, it's hard for one person to keep an eye out on all of them and if we've got someone who knows how the VIPs might work, why not consider them too? That way everyone has an easier time working together to figure this out — if it really isn't a prank.

[Kurapika's own expression remains steady.]

I'm mostly interested in making sure our one "leader" doesn't end up being a VIP themselves. A minimum group of 8 will do the trick, but I'd prefer more.

I think just as long as we don't split up into more groups then we should consider more candidates.

We've got six barracks right? We can nominate a leader from each of those and then narrow the choices to pick two more.

Hmm... Then in the case of an emergency, each barrack has a leader. There's still the issue of the one in charge of a barrack being a VIP...

[He lets out a sigh. There's no winning.]

Nobody said that this is gonna be easy. We have to take a few risks — how else are we gonna figure things out?

These are more than just risk, they're ones of life or death--if everyone were here willingly and signed up to those risks, that would be one thing. But they weren't.

That's the whole point. Whoever's using that PA system is doing this because they know there's no way to avoid casualties. A night where no one dies still means someone being converted or getting that key.

That's why we've gotta work together and use all out best assets to stop this as quickly as we possibly can.

I know, I know. [He's frustrated, but not at her.]

There has to be an idea with lower risks. No leader at all, but maybe a set of rules...

We don't even know how they work yet. For all we know, they could try to pick out who they think is the weakest before they go for the strongest. Or do something completely different.

There's just a whole lotta factors to take into consideration and we can only do so much until this whole thing is put into action. That's why I suggested Levi, he might be able to help us with figuring out how they think.

A man like that is best an adviser, not a leader. He sounds like he would be too easy to convince to join their side, going by your description.

[Kurapika is definitely not voting Levi in anytime soon.]

What do you think we should do then?

We should work together. Assigning leaders right now, before we've had more time to get to know each other...I just don't like it. The natural leaders will show themselves if we give them time.

I know we don't have a lot to spare, but organizing rules among us, patrols, and teams so no one is alone... That might be best in the meantime.

I think talking about the leaders is at least a good idea. We can establish who might be good candidates, but having leaders has never been a bad idea.

What about at night? Only the people with roles are the ones who get the special parts of the park unlocked. It's not like we can go there to watch them and our rooms are only big enough for one person. We can't keep an eye on everyone at all times.

Right right right! Let's take all the risks!

[ Clash grins so much wider when she agrees with her over Kurapika agreeing with her. ]

At least someone gets it. How else are you gonna get ahead in the world without some risks?

Absolutely positively! Music and life are all about taking risks! ...Even though Ibuki's not sure what risks to take right now!!

[ Actually, she is not 100% sure what all they're talking about to be honest...she just doesn't want to rehash chapter one. ]

It might be too early to take one, but I guess we'll see what goes when we wake up tomorrow morning. Right now we don't know how it'll all turn out, or if it even will. It still just might be some dumb giant prank to spook us.

Right!! This time, for sure...the killing isn't ever starting!

[ She's been talking like it's going to happen for twenty minutes that she realizes it all just might be hypothetical in the first place. ]

Totally! Who expects us to believe this kinda stuff anyway?

...Ibuki's heard it before at the other place, but! Killing people definitely didn't work out there, either! Ibuki thinks our best plan is to not do that at all!!

[ hahahahha........... ]
