day zero - afternoon

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day zero 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.] rulebook character statuses private conversations 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.

I feel the same. I do not want to kill anybody here at all, but if people begin to die then we will have to begin finding the VIPs as well. However there are so many times we can stay our hand from voting. The VIPs have the advantage in knowing who they are among, but we are walking blindly through the dark. It is unsettling.

...At least the first time. To make a guess and have... a 7 out of 42 chance. That's just too low!

Unless our special roles guess correctly.

But after the first time... we'll have plenty of time to discover who these blackguards truly are. In fact, we shouldn't even be waiting.

Everyone should reveal as much as they can about themselves tonight! We need to not be strangers to each other if we're to have any chance of success!

I agree...to an extent. As much as I would like for us all to be open and honest, the truth is we cannot afford that when there are seven of us who could have ill intent on our lives. I do not wish to distrust anyone, but it may be safer for now to keep our cards closer to our chests.

Well, you don't have to say things like 'I'm mortally afraid of bees' or 'My weakness is fire' or anything. I just mean... we should get a sense for everyone here so we know who's acting strangely or who's being inconsistent about the way they represent themselves.

[Isn't fire everyone's weakness? Even he would probably die in a fire despite the suit.]

That makes sense. Well...I wish I could assist on that front, but I can't. I have amnesia and don't remember anything about myself, not even my own name. It seems whoever runs this game has no intent of letting me know my real name either, as my profile shows the name I gave myself: K.

[edealistical]

.........

Um.

So what you're saying is that your real identity really could be a merciless serial killer, huh?

[she's probably kidding...]

My name is Edea! Edea Lee. I'm a former Knight of the Eternian Army.

[jingler]

Ha Ha Ha. [His laugh is jovial but cold and machine like.] Yes, I suppose I could be. Let us hope that isn't the case, for both our sakes.

[He doesn't feel as though he's a serial killer, so he hopes that won't be the case if he regains his memories.]

Very well then Edea Lee. I hope we can cooperate together, provided we can trust one another enough.

[edealistical]

Well. If by some chance it turns out to be true, just say the word and I'll definitely put a stop to you before you can commit any crimes!

[Is this some weird offer of knight-friendship or something.]

But I swear I'll do everything in my power to protect everyone here - that's my duty above all else.

[jingler]

And I will do the same to you, should you be a VIP or a convert.

[True friendship is promising to bring the other friend to justice if they start killing...]

I will protect others the same. I may not be a knight, but this armor is useful in that I am large and strong.

[edealistical]

Maybe you were a knight in a past life.

I'm not going to be too overly optimistic, but there are 35 of us against 7. If we all do our part to keep a lookout for each other, I believe we'll be able to defeat them at this foul game.

[And then they find out about the rooms locking and being unable to do anything even close to patrol, but that's a nasty surprise for later.]
