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!!!
amygdalae: you sir have failed me (all of the disappoint)

I am sorry

[Well, Bruce can certainly agree with talking things over with familiar people. But considering that they can't, they'll just have to make do with the resources they have here, i.e each other.

...although that next line gets his attention. Confusion crosses Bruce's face, and he can't help but ask--]
'Blue creature'?

[What blue creature??]

[ Ah. Looks like he has some exposition to dispense. Somehow it feels like it's been a while since he had to do that. ]

I suggest checking the mirrors if you haven't already. But be warned--it's not a pleasant sight.

[ Understatement of the century, that. He almost regrets not having the reflexes to try to backhand the accursed thing. ]
amygdalae: the world is not a nice place (if only things are that simple)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2015-04-18 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
[The mirrors...? Bruce isn't entirely sure how the mirrors relate to this, but. Alright.]

I'll keep that in mind. [The mirror part and the warning that is. Bruce isn't fond of being spooked.] But I think trying to see what this all means should be the higher priority.
catmagnet: (cat herding in progress)

[personal profile] catmagnet 2015-04-18 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
I am trying in my own way.

[ He can't say with certainty there's no connection between a blue creature covered in blood and the crime scene. ]

Out of curiosity, what's the last thing you remember before coming here? All I remember is going through a door and finding a bottle.
amygdalae: remember that you are human (Default)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2015-04-18 09:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Now that is a pretty good question. Bruce racks his mind a little, trying to run through his memories. In everything that's happened, he hasn't thought about that.]

I was heading to a patient's house. [And then a piece of paper was thrown at his face, which he read and then...

Hm. Perhaps that bears more wonde ring.]
catmagnet: (not enough room to swing a cat)

[personal profile] catmagnet 2015-04-18 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Doctor.

[ He was hoping there'd be some obvious connection, but alas, that maybe that isn't the case. (Unless he's being lied to. Gotta always keep that possibility in mind for everyone here.) With a small sigh, Kongwai lets a hand rest under his chin as he mulls over his thoughts. ]

I'll keep this line of questioning in mind, but I suppose I should try to focus slightly more on game-related questions.
amygdalae: you're speaking as if I even have one (you're asking me to make a choice?)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2015-04-18 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well, that's not a wrong move there. Bruce hums his agreement, crossing his arms over his chest, thinking about all of this as well.]

Feel free to ask, but I doubt I know any more than you do.

[Bruce barely understands what's going on right now as it is.]
catmagnet: (the cat is out of the bag)

[personal profile] catmagnet 2015-04-18 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ It's rather frustrating, really. If only the level of technology here was the same as the World of Innocent Bonds, he'd have a better grasp of the situation. But no use crying over spilt milk. ]

Same for me. From the looks of it, I barely know how the technology in this world works, much less the inner workings of this game.
amygdalae: what do you mean we can't have blueberries (could you say that again)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2015-04-19 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
We're all just about as lost over this game as you are, I suspect. [Which is something Bruce doesn't like as well, but. One step at a time. Hopefully something will turn up then.

He frowns a bit at the part about technology, though.]


What don't you understand? [There's hardly anything fancy here, for him. Even he knows how to operate a vending machine.]
catmagnet: (curiosity killed the cat)

[personal profile] catmagnet 2015-04-19 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
The better question would be "what do you understand?".

[ Kongwai then takes out a cell phone out of...somewhere in his robes and holds it out for the other person to examine. ]

Do you happen to know how this works, by any chance?
amygdalae: even I don't get it (explain this to me)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2015-04-19 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah yes, the phone. Somehow it seems a lot of people don't know about it... which is weird.]

Yes. [Bruce nods as he replies.] It's a--phone.
catmagnet: (satisfaction brought it back)

[personal profile] catmagnet 2015-04-19 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ That's not exactly what he was asking, but hey, it's a start. ]

Unfortunately, technology such as this isn't around where I came from, so I can't say I can figure out what a phone does from the name alone.
amygdalae: remember that you are human (mega bullshit going on right there)

[personal profile] amygdalae 2015-04-20 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
You've never seen a phone before?

[Okay, that is a bit too much. If the guy looked like he came from some third world place, then maybe Bruce can accept it. But he looks pretty well-learned, and not like from some technologically backwater place--so it makes no sense why he wouldn't know what a phone is. Or not have seen one before, for that matter.]
catmagnet: (playing cat and mouse)

[personal profile] catmagnet 2015-04-20 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Not at all. I have traveled between worlds, but I do believe this world is the most technologically advanced I've seen.

[ He knows someone who'd have a ball with this world. Too bad they're not on speaking terms now. (Read: They've sworn to kill each other the next time they meet.) ]

If it weren't for the current situation, there'd be a lot here for me to study.
