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 addprotoshepherd 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!!!

Mmm, I suppose it goes by other names outside of the empire, yes.
To put it simply, it's the study of extending one's boundaries and influencing one's will on the area around themselves.
no subject
....... Excuse Cabanela's suddenly very serious facial expression. If he'd fully realized he was doing it, he'd try to cover it up, but he's a bit too busy trying to make sense of the concept.]
So I suppose you might say one would be... manipulating the surrounding area with their mind alone? [LIKE A MANIPULATOR???]
no subject
Not just their mind! It's a science, it involves a lot of calculations and arrays and such. If anyone were doing it- which I personally cannot, by the way- it would be very obvious that they were.
[It's not technically a lie if 95% of those who do it have to follow those rules, right? The powerful ones are just statistical outliers adn should not be counted.]
no subject
What about people and other living beings? Could you use it to influence them as well?
no subject
[He realizes something now.]
I think there may be a misunderstanding as to what sfeer theory is in the first place. It's magic. Creating lightning, and ice, and transforming intimate objects into other shapes, things like that. A Cyclist- er, someone who practices sfeer theory- they can only manipulate something if they either have weak borders or no borders at all. Humans have souls, which means their borders are very difficult to manipulate.
no subject
But.
Err. Words. What are words?]
What did you say?! There's no such thing as magic, baby! [...Or is there? If there's supernatural powers from outer space and manipulators, why not magic?]
no subject
Well, calling it 'magic' versus calling it a scientific process is a very common debate, but regardless of what you choose to call it, it still exists. I cannot show you an actual sfeer, but if it would help you understand, I could sketch out an array and explain it further? If you have a pen and paper, that is.
[Even if he weren't secretly studying sfeer theory on the side, it's hard not to pick up things while working around men and women experimenting day in and day out.]
no subject
This is getting to be one hell of a headache already, and he hasn't even successfully linked this whole story to the Manipulator- Or anything similar to his work. This 'sfeer' theory apparently has certain limitations that wouldn't allow Cyclists to do what the Manipulator's done.
Give him a second, he needs to... smack a hand against his forehead in a bad attempt to kickstart his brain again. How does he... Where does he even...???]
Got no such thing on me, man. ...Which empire is your little university located in, exactly?
no subject
So instead, he focuses on the question.]
Warassa? It's to the north, where it rains most days of the year.
If you know where Valence or Sevallia are, I can give you an approximate location in regards to one of them.
no subject
You are awaaare that you are in the United States of America at the moment, correct?
no subject
I mean, there is certainly a group of independent 'states' that have grouped together to function as a country- [AKA Sir Not Appearing In This Tag-merica, since America hasn't been named in Luca's canon.] -but it is not called 'America'.
no subject
It has been called America since the start of the sixteenth century, my good fellow. Eeeveryone knows this.
