day seven - afternoon

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day seven 15 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 10 PM EST on October 10.

If you really feel like that'll make all of you feel better then... [ She shrugs. ] I really don't blame you.

[uncoincidental]

...I'll leave it up to the majority, I guess. Most of the others were closer to the people you killed.

But if it comes to a vote whether to blow you up or hang you, I'm voting for blowing you up.

[foetida]

Don't forget the MVP vote. We only get that if we execute a VIP - and whatever she is, she's not that.

[uncoincidental]

Exactly. It'll keep a lot of people much safer if we don't lynch her.

Can you do it? Can you blow her up right now?

[foetida]

We actually need a VIP to vote for first.

[uncoincidental]

I think we should reconsider Patchouli. She was suggested yesterday for a reason.

[foetida]

A reason we decided wasn't good enough when we wound up voting for Suoh instead. What's changed between yesterday and today?

[uncoincidental]

They're bound to have investigated her last night. If she was cleared as innocent, they would have passed another note to Gundam, don't you think?

Their silence is more telling than anything else.

[fanbase]

I'm sure whoever has the detonator's key will want to do that too, but... thanks for listening anyway.

[uncoincidental]

...actually, I've got one last question.

What you said about having things to say that you could only say here... that was a lie, right? Because if it's not, you better start talking fast. You could have said any of what you just said outside.

Or did you just want to change your clothes to make yourself even harder to forget?

[fanbase]

[ Clash's lips curl up into a little smile. ]

I did want the attention but... that wasn't a lie. I just didn't want you guys to feel sorry for me and see me as some pathetic helpless person. I'm tired of being seen like that by everyone else.

You've seen how people act toward the VIPs. They say blackmail... or that we should keep them alive enough to ask them even if they can't remember. Everyone likes the VIPs, even after what they've done. I really wanted to make you hate me until it was too late to treat me like everyone else has treated the VIPs.

[uncoincidental]

So you dragged it out because you didn't want pity and ended up killing Maya, too. If you really didn't want anyone else to die, you should have just let us blow you up or kill you right there, instead of saying, "I have something important to tell you at the trial, so you have to wait."

I don't pity you at all. You might not have been aware of the other things, but you consciously tried to make us wait once you became aware of it and Maya was killed as a result. That's selfish and cruel.

So... congratulations. You got exactly what you wanted.

[fanbase]

That's all I need to know.

[ Her smile is sad and one of someone who is unsure of themselves and their actions, but her words ring true. ]
