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.

There is another option.

[Peko's standing with her arms crossed loosely across her body, leaning against a nearby wall. She looks exhausted and disgusted with the proceedings, shaking her head.]

We execute Knowledge. Tie Montgomery up and leave her near the fence. The bracelet will take care of the rest.

[cheats]

[ peko... peko no ]

...Miss Pekoyama, that is, er... I suppose it is an option, yes, but that would be...

[ awful??? ]

The murders on our hands thus far are somewhat figurative. I would prefer to not make it literal.

[perfectstrike]

[Bless you, Ciel.

Peko doesn't look fazed at all, just giving Ciel a bit of an even stare.]

I will take it upon myself if necessary.

[cheats]

Just—

[ As the discussions continue, Ciel has to pause in disbelief, because he cannot believe what he is hearing, then he shakes his head vehemently. ]

Just stop it! Listen to yourselves! Murdering her, telling her to commit suicide? We have a solution! Please don't say that you're going to take this burden upon yourself. It's not like that. We're all stuck here together, so we would have to share that equally! This is madness!

[perfectstrike]

Phantomhive...

[She pauses and meets his eye, a touch of uncertainty pulling at her lips for a moment before firming again.]

I have told you before. I take no shame in dirtying my hands for the sake of another.

[There's literally only two people left alive she would say that too... congrats Ciel... She's offering to take the blame for anything he doesn't want to.]

[cheats]

I understand... And I appreciate that you would be willing to do so.

[ He says that much earnestly, but looks at her imploringly. His face is full of concern, and maybe no small amount of fear mixed in. This is way more than just voting to send someone to the gallows or even detonating Clash, so he's very clearly upset. ]

But please, in respect of that, I ask that you do not. We do not need to do this. This would be cruel. We are better than that, at least.

[perfectstrike]

...

[Again, she just stares at him for a long moment, gaze flicking over his face as if trying to find something. Before inclining her head, shoulders sagging a bit before she looks up again.]

Very well.

[chronic]

I don't see why she doesn't just kill herself. [ another incredibly tactful suggestion from Mysterion ] She can just tamper with her own bracelet and set it off. Do us all a favor.

[fanbase]

I can't. That's not how it works.

[chronic]

Why not? Kill yourself. Do it.

[fanbase]

I can't. That isn't how it works! Have you been listening to anything I've said?

[chronic]

Nope, sorry. Haven't really been listening to the psycho bitch plead her case. Why can't you do it? It won't work? Then let someone else tamper with your bracelet.

[fanbase]

Oh, fuck off! You think if whoever brought us here gave that option that all of this would even be happening in the first place?

The whole point is that I didn't choose who to kill and I still can't choose who to kill. It'd be like the VIPs having the choice to kill whoever they want during the day.

[perfectstrike]

It would be the honorable way to atone for something like this.

[Peko agrees 100%.]

Where I am from... an apology should be accompanied by blood.

[chronic]

Totally. If you're that sorry, kill yourself. I don't think she is, though. All she's done is fuck around with us all day and delay things.

[foetida]

Oh, for goodness' sake!

There is a key. We can blow her up whenever she's ready. But if we do it in here, her guts are going to get everywhere, and these clothes they've given us are ugly enough without getting blood all over them!

[perfectstrike]

Someone who is an attention seeker as she is should not be given the stage she wants.

She should have been detonated before we were ever forced into this room.

[foetida]

This isn't about revenge, it's about survival. If she had information about the people who put us here, we needed to hear it.

Of course, it turned out to all be for a stupid reason, but none of us knew that except her. It's too late to regret what we should have done now.

[perfectstrike]

If she truly had information, she would have given it before forcing us here.

All she wanted was an audience and a stage. Disgusting. I have seen thugs with more dignity.

[foetida]

It's not like I'm disagreeing with you. I said it was for a stupid reason, didn't I?

But she's going to die today no matter what, so who cares when it happens? I don't want to be stuck in this room with a corpse for the next few hours, do you? [well...Peko probably wouldn't mind but she sure does]

[chronic]

Who cares. Just do it already. You can wear my cape if you want and shield your hair or whatever.

[foetida]

I don't want your nasty pervert cape, who knows where it's been! [SHE HASN'T FORGIVEN YOU YET KENNY]

[chronic]

I was hoping we could roll around in it together.

[ STILL INTO HER. ]

[foetida]

Go roll yourself off a cliff! How dare you talk to a lady that way! [she will slap you again which...probably is not a deterrent at all for him is it....]

[murimurimuri]

...This is worth considering. Particularly if the Detonator has the option not to give out any more keys.
