GAME 2 - DAY 1

[ You stir awake on the cold floor, and find yourself in a REALLY CROWDED dressing room with some other people. They may be strangers, they may be people you know, but then you wonder, where are you?

Then it hits you. The last thing that happened before waking up was that you found a message in a bottle. You read the note, blinked once, and someone behind you hit you in the head. You fell to the floor, but that was it. That was all you remember. You must have passed out, and now you're here. Wherever here is.

The room is what it is. It seems to have been a murder scene. Who was murdered, no one knows. Try not to destroy the crime scene, would you? There's only a couple of drops of blood by the outline - and that's a really huge outline, the guy must be at least 6 feet tall. A tile from the floor is missing. Well, whatever. Is that really important? (No, it's not! Not at the moment, anyway…) What may be of importance (?!?!?!?!) is the note written in lipstick on the mirror. It reads: MAKE FRIENDS.

If you exit the dressing room, you'll find yourself in a hallway. There's another room next to the one you came from, but it's locked. There's some noise coming from inside, though… If you put your ear to the door, you may hear a possibly familiar song. But you might even check that out later, because right on the wall in front of you hang twelve square mirrors - about twelve inches in length, and eight in width. Each mirror will reflect only one specific person, no matter how many people are standing in front of it. (Eg. if Person A stands in front of Mirror A, he'll see himself. If he stands in front of Mirror B, he won't see any reflection at all.)

Upon looking at your mirror, you'll find someone behind you. Before you could even react, you hear the words "find wolves, keep secrets" whispered in your ear like an itchy and spine tingling thing. If you look back, the beautiful creature is gone. Its reflection is gone, too.

And when the badger disappears, you'll feel something heavy in your pocket. Pull it out, and you get a Nokia 3210. It's a pretty bulky and heavy device, but hey. It's a cellphone. Although… there are only four features to the phone: Rules, Vote, Calculator, and Snake.

If you check out the vote feature, you'll find a list of names. It seems you can only choose just one pair of names. Once someone votes on it, the bar right below their name grows longer, and you can see how many people voted on it. Everyone should know who their partner is from this list alone.

Welcome to (one part of) the Sunshine Coliseum! The broom closet is locked, and so is the room with the red light. Don't go there, Roxanne. If you head to the stage, you can play with the instruments. Feel free to chill out in the audience area. The chairs are very comfortable to sit on. There isn't much to do, but one should be crafty enough to find means of entertainment. This is game, after all.

Lastly, YOU HAVE NO MONEY TO BUY ANYTHING IN THE VENDING MACHINE. (It has soda and potato chips, by the way. Please don't steal anything...! Or you can. You know. Whatever. It's not like there are cops around!) ]

(SUSPICION POLL)

---

CLUE
* only one member of each team may vote, so please coordinate with your partners!

Schedule:
[ 00 EST 18 April: Clue/Activity!!

00 EST 19 April: Suspicion poll comes to an end and Ousting poll gets put up.

00 EST 20 April: Ousting poll draws to a close. A new day begins, with two teams out of the game. ]


For any team posts or if your character(s) will be talking to another team in private, please remember to filter the post and add [personal profile] protoshepherd to it! Characters will have whatever they had on them, or if they have any pets, then they can have those, too.

Regarding pets/items: SURE GO AHEAD AND HAVE YOUR CHARACTER BRING THEM. If it's a magical item, then it will NOT work.

Hurting other characters is fine, but please ping @sytry on plurk if and when your character tries to kill somebody, or beat them up senseless. There will be an IC punishment for something like this, and they also can't kill anybody, so!!!

No way! When in doubt, you gotta pick the first one you see!! That's the key to good detective work, pal!
specialest_agent: (Huh...)

[personal profile] specialest_agent 2015-04-18 12:14 pm (UTC)(link)
... Are you a detective?
trenchdoting: (smug)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-18 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
That's right, pal! Detective Dick Gumshoe at your service!
specialest_agent: (Just call me York.)

[personal profile] specialest_agent 2015-04-18 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Time to FLASH HIS BADGE.]

I'm FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan. Call me York, that's what everyone calls me.
trenchdoting: (stunned disbelief)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-18 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa! The FBI! [He gasps.] Am I being recruited?!

In that case, you can call me Gumshoe, pal! Or even just 'Shoe'!!
specialest_agent: (Can you hear me?)

[personal profile] specialest_agent 2015-04-19 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
[He turns aside, muttering as he presses his fingers to his temple.]

It's almost like we're in a crime procedural, Zach. And we've found our bumbling detective.

[AND THEN BACK TO GUMSHOE.] Sorry, I don't recruit new agents.
trenchdoting: (real headscratcher)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-19 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
Aw man, and I was so close!

[He leans forward in confusion to get a look at him, thought, tryig to find some kind of communicator.]

Hey, who're you talking to, pal?
specialest_agent: (It's me. I'm the special agent.)

[personal profile] specialest_agent 2015-04-19 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Nope, he's just going to take a step back and try to redirect the conversation.]

So what do you make of the clues so far, Gumshoe? I'd like to hear your opinion.
trenchdoting: (animated thought)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-20 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh. Well that wasn't an answer.]

The clues, huh? I gotta admit... .... ... the wheels are still turning on this one!

Someone died, but there's no body. And... I guess we gotta figure out the best way to root out a wolf!

...Oh! And I did learn that if there's aliens involved, then they gotta be time travelers!
specialest_agent: (Huh...)

[personal profile] specialest_agent 2015-04-20 08:54 am (UTC)(link)
... What's that about the aliens?

Gumshoe D:

[personal profile] speedy_rabbit 2015-04-18 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[You know, she doesn't remember police of any sort being this... incompetent.

Might as well make the rounds and see what she can figure out.]


May I ask how long you've been a detective, sir...?
trenchdoting: (smug)

his life is hard

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-18 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hehe... It's been about seven years now! Time sure flies when you're fighting crime, right?
speedy_rabbit: (pic#)

He deserves a treat D:

[personal profile] speedy_rabbit 2015-04-18 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Seven years.

Seven.

Years.

Yeah, okay, wherever he's from is now on her "don't trust their police force ever" list.]


Tell me, how often has your method of... detectiving [That's not even a word, Kelly.] worked out for you?
trenchdoting: (animated thought)

He got a peanut butter cup!

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-18 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, pal, the answer to that question would probably be...

[He seems to spending far too much time in thought about it.]

...some...times...?
speedy_rabbit: (pic#)

Progress! \o/

[personal profile] speedy_rabbit 2015-04-18 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[...

She didn't think so, Gumshoe. That answers all of her questions.]


How about we just actually ask the people involved? I know I'd rather not end up in trouble with this thing simply because someone guessed without talking to me.
trenchdoting: (glint in eye)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-18 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Some good old-fashioned cross-examination, huh? Alright pal!! Let's make it happen!
speedy_rabbit: (pic#5986152)

[personal profile] speedy_rabbit 2015-04-18 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[A brief moment of pause before she removes her helmet, taking a deep breath once it's off for some fresh air and not having the yellow tint in her eyes anymore.]

So! Did you have any questions for me? [Guess what, Gumshoe, you actually have one of the accused in front of you.] Petty Officer Second Class Kelly-087 at your service.
trenchdoting: (startled animation)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-18 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa! [He's surprised both at her appearance and her name.]

Hey, pal, that name... You're one of those suspects we've been talking about!
speedy_rabbit: (pic#5986165)

[personal profile] speedy_rabbit 2015-04-18 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[She gets that a lot, unfortunately. But she's pretty used to being the odd girl out of a bunch of guys for the majority of it.]

Hm? I am, yes, that's kind of why I was hoping we wouldn't resort to just picking names out of a hat. I'd rather like to keep my name as clean as possible.
trenchdoting: (neutral face)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-18 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
When you put it like that, it makes a lot of sense! [She looks nice. Could she really be a wolf?]

So, um... You got anything to testify, pal?!
speedy_rabbit: (pic#5986159)

[personal profile] speedy_rabbit 2015-04-18 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmm, how does she explain her innocence when she doesn't have any evidence and this place doesn't give her an alibi?]

I can't say I have an alibi, but none of us really do at the moment, either. But I can tell you I'd never take a human life unless it was a scenario of fighting for my own or for one of my comrades. Spartans were created to protect people, we are humanity's last hope against an alien force. [A faint smile, trying to not be amused by herself.] I might have a weapon, but you can check the carts in it, none of it has been fired since I've been here.

No, no! The first one's always the trick answer that makes you doubt yourself! Or was that the third one... [ anyway. ]

... You're a detective? [ said quite flatly. as in, he doesn't believe someone as dense as gumshoe could ever have a job like that (hello pot, this is kettle). ]
trenchdoting: (animated thought)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-20 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
Now I'm starting to doubt everything! Where did I go wrong...?

...But, um, yeah! That's right pal! Detective Dick Gumshoe, at your service! [Time for a badge-flashing.]
boobily: (❚ 013)

[personal profile] boobily 2015-04-27 04:13 am (UTC)(link)
It all started somewhere around that hairstyle, I'm guessing.


[ oh... that's a silly name. ] Gumshoe, was it? You're human, right? [ after the hanger fiasco, how could he not be... but gumshoe kind of sounds like the name of a different species. the gumshoes. ]
trenchdoting: (cheery salute)

[personal profile] trenchdoting 2015-04-27 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Your name is Space Dandy.]

You're right on both counts, pal!! I'm as human as they get! [And as if this demonstrates that, he beats a fist against his chest.]
