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!) ]

That piques her curiosity! She waves her hands near it, flicks at it, and starts when it makes another sound.] Oh! [And yo, yooooooooo was that her voice???] ...Ooohhh? [That was her voice.
It makes her voice louder.
Holy shit.
Guess who wastes absolutely no time hopping up on the platform for maximum tallness and attention-grabbing? It's L'Arachel, who doesn't need any help being loud already—]
Attention! [HOPE YOU GUYS DIDN'T INTEND TO USE THOSE EARDRUMS IN THE LONG-TERM] If you could all direct your focus this way, please! Our efforts could serve to be better-organized, and it would do our investigation well! Though the wolves, it would seem, must be prevented from winning, we must not forget that there are two innocents among our suspects as well. What sort of righteousness would it be were they to condemned in the place of the wicked wolves? If our mission remains pure in intent I have no doubt we will be able to enact a mission of true justice and order, and smite these wolves before they can cause harm. Under my guidance, I assure you all that not a sheep shall be slain by a single sinner! [l'arachel what the fuck are you talking about] I believe this stage and this—tool of projection... [tapping her finger against the microphone; this thing is her new favorite forever, can she keep it] ...makes for an ample platform from which our accused may come and testify to their innocence so all may here, or for the rest of us to air our evidence and proposals.
[And she takes a step back, gesturing at the microphone to invite someone else up to it—and then, remembering something, comes forward again.]
Also! I am looking for a... [Squints at her phone.......] Kongwai Tao? Yes? [She tried.] You have been truly blessed to have been placed into an alliance with the beauteous wanderer and champion of divine grace, L'Arachel herself! And if we could meet properly and collaborate, it would benefit us all, I have no doubt.
[Okay, and now she's stepping aside—not off the platform entirely, because she likes being tall and important and in center stage, but she's out of the way. Anyone wanna step up to the microphone? Jeer her from the audience? Look uncomfortable enough for her to decide to drag you up to the podium herself???
Or you can ignore L'Arachel and go play with the horse, who is currently in the audience section, chewing on a seat.]

L'Arachel is too busy dealing with her, ahem, adoring public to beat Gumshoe away from her horse this time, so go get 'im, bro. The horse slows down its chewing and eyes Gumshoe but does not make any move to approach or otherwise interact with him.]

...No, no, maybe the Wonder Chef is weirder? Well, he'll have to think about that later. More importantly, he should figure out what to do about Miss Enthusiasm over there. Unfortunately for him, he can't simply ignore her, especially when she's called him out like that. So after steeling himself and his ears for the worst, he nonchalantly walks over to her, trying to hide any apprehension he might've felt.
He sorely hopes she's only that loud with that device in her hands. ]
Miss L'Arachel, I presume? Unless there's someone else by that name here, I'm sure I'm the Kongwai Tao you're looking for.
no subject
Princess L'Arachel of Rausten! The pleasure of our meeting is shared, I'm sure. [Her voice is definitely louder than a reasonable person's standard indoor voice, but y'know, it could be worse, like we literally just heard.] I have no doubt that adding your might to my own will make us an unstoppable pair in this campaign for righteousness!
[She absolutely is not getting down from her stage for the duration of this conversation, for the record, but he is free to join her.]
no subject
Yes, nice to be working with you, Princess. Was there anything in particular you wanted to ask or talk about?
[ Also, there's no way he's getting up on stage, since he actually values silence and tranquility. He doesn't want to stand out anymore than he is, thank you very much. (If he had his way, he'd just either be reading or trying to figure out the magic behind the mirrors, but alas, life's not fair.) ]
no subject
[so, no, to answer that question; instead of having any productive reason, she just called him out for fuckin funsiee]
In truth, I feel reluctant about the prospect of mistakenly voting against an innocent, with so little to go on...
no subject
[ And by that, he means stays on the sidelines unless necessary, since he's not good with staying in a crowd for large periods of time. Unfortunately, it's going to be hard to stay in the background if his partner decides microphones are her new best friend. Here's hoping that's not the case. ]
But with enough luck, perhaps we can pick out something that'll allow us to bypass all this and leave.
no subject
What is mildly relevant is his reception to the speech. He can appreciate it when people take charge and invest a healthy heaping of passion into investigation. That's why he starts clapping. Loudly. He's... probably the only person in the whole room who's doing that, but he doesn't even care.]
not actually here
also not here
still not here

Regardless of its size, an audience should receive appropriate fanfare, so she curtsies and waves and poses from her platform of immense importance.] Thank you, thank you! [don't ENCOURAGE her]
no subject
Hear hear! [............He's got nothing else to contribute, though, so he's not getting up on that stage.]
no subject
...should he just do what someone else is doing
...yes, he will also clap]
...yes! Bravo! A positively smashing idea, really!
no subject
Isn't it, though? If we can just get everyone here to work together as a teaaam, the pieces of the puzzle will snap together in no time. Yeaaah, nothing like it, baby.

Precisely, which is why I'm going to make sure they're a plentiful resource the moment I find some paper!
