( TRIAL - WEEK 5 )



At exactly 11:30 am, all residents who are still asleep will be jolted awake by a sharp, burning pain that spreads across their whole body. A simple look will reveal no visible injuries, oddly enough, and the pain will fade away as soon as they're properly awake. Those early birds who are already up and about will feel nothing — except maybe a strange, mysterious sense of relief as they go on about their business. Lucky them.

Moments later, an announcement will come through the static-filled PA system:

"This is Craftly speaking. My apologies for the rude awakening, children. As the Dining Hall is still under reparations — today's trial will take place by the pool. Please do try to be there before noon. My staff members have simply too many duties to tend to, to be escorting each and every one of you out of your quarters. Good day."


And true to his words, anyone who doesn't make their way to the Outdoor Dining Area before noon will be dragged kicking and screaming regardless of where they've sequestered themselves. Sucks to be you, huh? Upon arriving there, however, residents will be given the menu, one copy of the rulebook, one pencil, one notepad, and a cheque folder. Due the Kitchen and Dining Hall getting wrecked, lunch and dinner will mostly consist of grilled and barbecued menu items. Hamburgers, hotdogs, salads, and items that require little preparation — all the residents have to do is ask in order to receive. Similarly, all beverages will be retrieved from a hundred quart cooler that has been placed by the side of the pool.

Not as fancy as usual, but at least the pool is clean now. Some inflatable pool toys lazily swim in the water, along with pool noodles. A single towel that still has sludge on it floats among the accessories in the pool. Looks like no one bothered to really clean it up from Friday. Every now and then, the waters will vibrate to the sound of buzz saws and assorted power tools. Looks like the Disposal Room, Dining Hall and Kitchen are under reparations still.

A tent has been placed over the area to shield the residents from the sun, and to make up from the lack of transparencies everyone will receive a small booklet containing each resident's profile. They look a little bit like shitty PowerPoint presentation handouts, but maybe it's part of the charm. The profiles of the deceased are included, as always.

A second tent has been set up in the parking lot, complete with an air conditioning on the inside. Its use will become rapidly apparent once the victims corpses have been wheeled in. Anyone who wishes to step into this area will be asked to wash their hands, and will be given a pair of latex-free gloves and a hairnet by a staff members who is stationed nearby. Residents are required to dispose of both items before returning to their table; a trash bin is available outside of the tent for this purpose.

Evidence found during the investigation, on the other hand, will be displayed in a table by the pool shed. Any items found by the residents on Friday will be displayed here for further examination.

Finally — one of the grandfather clocks has been kidnapped from its respective floor to show the current hour. Please do remember you have until 9:00 PM to figure out whodunit and cast your vote. And if anyone tries to leave the area before the trial is over? They'll discover an invisible wall blocking their path.

( victims )




Characters will be given nine (9) hours to discuss everything related to the investigation to hopefully solve the mystery behind this week's murder. No one will be allowed to leave the Pool/Outdoor Dining Area (the pool shed will also be locked), and all characters must cast their vote before 9PM EST. You may do so on this week's voting page.

If you have any questions or doubts, shoot us a PM or a PP over at [plurk.com profile] yuggoth.

[ a thought strikes her, then. ] Who gave you the info?

Also, I don't really care? I told you I survived nearly dying before. And I'm whole now, plus I would have my giant scissors.

Ford's great. He has seven PHDs, he's been to a gajillion dimensions, he fights monsters and studies the supernatural...

And this is not important right now.

Cool, so Cthulhu-lite [it's a pun] is willing to talk to us later today, but if you want to run anything by Craftly, he can try to chat her up for you in the intermediary. He has a direct line to her while we're at it.

If we kill Craftly, his killer has to become Innkeeper in his place and we lose all chance to revive the dead. If we kill everyone who is willing to kill, we lose all chance to revive the dead. The Unclean is willing to talk to us later if we sacrifice a blood price. Finger, ear, eye, whatever. Everyone will have to do it, and also it'll be a huge damn mindfuck.

We could ask Girge to take us tomorrow, but apparently that depends on his mood. We should maybe not count on that.

The Unclean's only motivation is sadistic amusement, so she's under no contractual obligation to respond to our wishes. No wish-fuckery option. The souls of the dead get turned into fucked up weirdass horrors of their own if we don't rescue them, so that's balls. Also, even if we kill all but three, we'd still have to do an execution.

[FUN FACTS FOR EVERYONE. MOVING ON.]

In my opinion, barring an option we manage to nail by talking to the Great Bitch in the Sky, we should focus on discussing the two options we know about. End the game at the expense of the dead by killing all those left who are still willing to kill. Or choose an Innkeeper from among volunteers, plus survivors who are down for murder, and willingly die today.

Or we could just keep doing this shit week after week until luck and ruthlessness decide who the last people are. That one will probably net you even more monologues at next week's trial, though.

[SO DO YOU REALLY WANT THAT. DO YOU.]

My vote is we pick an Innkeeper and end this for good now. I am super not into another week of plotting and murder and people being annoying as fuck.

I told him the truth, and gave him a choice. That's what you wanted, isn't it?

Just making sure. You can be kind of obtuse.

aside from the obvious state of nagasone's chainsawed body, are there any other wounds or bruises on any of his limbs?]

Well, my mood depends on what the Hunters want.

[because he's so done that honestly just convince the Hunters to tell Girge to do something and he'll do it??]

But my way, at least, wouldn't involve blood. Mostly. Maybe if you're careless and let go.

I agree on no more executions!!!! They're tiring and I hate making people watch them.

Can we not vote for her?

[Hi again. Light is Bored while everyone discusses a problem that has an obvious solution. Plus he's heard you wanna die, so.]

I obviously know your face, Craftly-san. But...

Did you have a name before you were "Craftly"? I assume you did.

You might get a nosebleed. Or. . . bleed from your ears.

And if you ask too many questions, she'll give you brain freeze.

Context is rather important. Did you tell him Thursday evening or Friday morning? Because if so, then no, it's not a choice. It's the same as bringing Andersen to a meeting the way you did. Intention is good, don't get me wrong. I'm glad you have good intentions. But your execution is shitty.
thawedheart: (i worry because you're dumb)

Craftly-san said the deal would allow whoever took it to save 41 souls so... I had thought that they would also be sent home.

I still vote Andersen as Innkeeper. He'll actually be suited for it, in every possible way. Otherwise, I die when you die, so whenever that's chosen is fine.

[personal profile] splinten 2017-06-24 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not. You can check with Craftly, but since the entire point of this thing seems to be 'it's funny' I doubt she'd listen.
