day five - aftermath

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day five 24 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 Ibuki Mioda 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, it doesn't, but it doesn't mean we should turn our backs on them either. I may not have voted for her, but I never acted like Ibuki was innocent either when any one of us could be a VIP.

[ She sighs again and lets her arms fall to her side. ]

All I'm saying is that there's no use between comparing us and them. Everyone was all up in arms after Dipper died, but barely anyone seemed upset at Levi's death... or even Yuya's. We should stop the VIPs, but we shouldn't act like we're not the ones at fault here either. Whoever's doing this to us is forcing us to do all of this for a reason.

[ Natalia also backs down slightly at the reminder that this is something that goes beyond just them vs. the VIPs. ]

... You're right. I promised Edea, before she died, that I would work to find a way to end this game. But we're no closer now to understanding any of this than we were when it started.

Wether we eliminate all the VIPs or not doesn't guarantee any answers, just "winning" and even that doesn't feel like it would be winning.

As much as we gotta focus on them and the bomber, we should at least try to think of a way to stop this thing without having to kill more people.
