GAME 2 - DAY 4

[protoshepherd]

[ Considering how there was very little food over the night, one might feel more tired than usual. The night is quiet much like how the day was, and everyone sleeps rather peacefully. The ousted team just disappears without anybody knowing what happened or where they went. Bam. Magic. Their mirrors have also cracked, and so have Grace and Tony's.

Come sunrise - nobody knows when sunrise is, though - there's a clicking sound coming from backstage. Nobody might have been around when it happened, but the other dressing room is now unlocked, and the door is open. "Roxanne" is still blasting through the speaker found in one of the corners of the room, too.

The dressing room is rather messy. Leather jackets on one side of the room, guitars on both corners, and some police uniforms near the speakers. There's a table with udon! It looks delicious, but… wait. It's made of plastic! HOW DARE! On the table are a pair of gloves, sunglasses, some coffee cups with coffee in them, and some postcards of a lady in a blue cloak and some words written in Wingdings-like characters.

There's make-up by the drawers, and some other rockstar paraphernalia in various areas of the room. There doesn' seem to be anything helpful, though.

… or is there?

If one decides to check the dresser, they might find that there's a badger standing behind them. Kind of like what happened on the first day. If one looks back, they won't see the badger, but the badger will be there… in the mirror. Feel free to talk to the creepy thing. It's about time to meet the game's actual host.

No… he talks to the person he sees through the glass, first. It's a rather itchy and hoarse voice, if one can figure it out when there's nothing auditory, anyway. ]

Game will end soon if wolf not oust.

[ Much like how he texts… his sentences are broken.

And once again, the poll has been updated. Check your cellphones! ]

Of course.

[ Kongwai tosses the keys over after he telegraphs the throw with a exaggerated gesture of the arm. Hopefully that warning suffices. Beaning Cabanela in the face with them would be somewhat embarrassing, so he'd like to avoid that. Probably. ]

[inspectormacarena]

[Did someone say exaggerated gestures? Cabanela does indeed catch the keys with one hand, only to twirl around on one foot and then raise that same hand high up in the air for a pose of sorts. Welcome to the wonderful world of Ghost Trick nonsense.

Once he's eased himself back into a normal stance, he examines the keychain up close. He flips the charm over in his hand and squeezes it, before turning his attention to the keys themselves.]

Hm... This one appears to be a car key, baby. And this one right here... Something similar. A scooter or a motorcycle, perhaaaps. [... Possibly a segway, but who drives one of those ridiculous things?] Nothing we can put to use here, thaaat's for sure. It's this third one that's the mystery.

[catmagnet]

I see, thank you for the insight.

[ Okay, no, he doesn't fully understand what Cabanela just said. Not that Kongwai will ever admit it out loud. Instead, he'll just smile and nod like it makes perfect sense. ]

Well, we can at least cross the vending machine off the list of possible locks. And the door to the other dressing room. And the door that I'm assuming is the exit out of here.

[ He takes the time to sigh once here before continuing. ]

Have you seen anything with a lock related to a guitar or music around by any chance?

[inspectormacarena]

[He holds the third key up between his thumb and index finger, twirling it around to examine it from all angles. A key for something that isn't too big... Related to music or a guitar... Hm. There are keys in music, but that doesn't help them any. It's probably not symbolic.]

Curious and cuuuriouser.... It might be for the cases of the instruments, but I don't remember seeing any of those. Most of the instruments around here are simply lying arooound.

[catmagnet]

[ Ah, yes, the instruments lying around. He'd know those. After all, he suggested smashing the vending machine opening with one. ]

Maybe it's something hidden in plain sight then... If so, my first guesses would be that piano and drum set on the stage.

[inspectormacarena]

Yeaaah, a scavenger hunt. Nothing like it, baby. Let's hope this key will unlock the final mysteries of the gaaame.

[He throws the key ring back towards Kongwai with another overdramatic flourishing motion of the arm.]

[catmagnet]

[ Kongwai reaches out to catch it...with his fingers only. (Ow.) Why not catch it in the palm of his hand like a normal person? Only Kongwai knows the answer to that, and it's debatable whether or not he'd give a straight, understandable answer. ]

Fufu, that'd be an almost poetic way of finding any last minute clues.

[inspectormacarena]

[After that little tiff from yesterday, Cabanela feels just a little bad about messing around with keys when there's a game to be played, but... Come on, it's keys. This has to mean something.]

Poetic and three days too late, but I'll take anything we can fiiind.

[catmagnet]

[ At least they're being productive! And who knows, that key could lead to a clue. ]

Agreed. I'll be sure to update you if I find out which lock this key belongs to.
