an ace attorney cry wolf mini-game

[ 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! ]



---

[ No more clues! The 29th will be a quiet day.

00 EST 30 April: Suspicion poll comes to an end and Ousting poll gets put up.

00 EST 1 May: Ousting poll draws to a close. A new day begins…? ]

[ After ousting finishes, the bodies of Hans, Gina, York, and Bruce slowly turn into glass, starting from their feet and it works its way up until the glass covers the bodies. A few seconds after looking like a diamond statue, the glass shatters, leaving nothing but the broken pieces on the floor.

THERE CERTAINLY WERE HUMAN BODIES THERE EARLIER. WELL? NOT ANYMORE…!

Right after that, everyone will receive a text saying:

Congratulations on making it to the third day! Please get some rest now, as the game will continue tomorrow.
Had there been no wolf ousted the past two days, you all will be in grave danger as one more mistake would mean the wolves win. Oh no! :(
The poll has been updated. Please make sure to cast your votes on time.
Please remember that the game will be over once the number of remaining sheep is the same as the number of total wolves. That is three!

The twelve mirrors backstage will look pretty strange, too. Four of those mirrors have been broken as well, with only eight mirrors hung properly. If this isn't symbolic, then I don't know what is. Perhaps it would be best to clean the glass shards up. We wouldn't want anybody to get injured, right? And it would be best to get a lot of rest.

The loudspeakers seem to have been turned off now, and even the noise you could hear in the locked dressing room is gone… mysterious. But it's also helpful since you'd want to sleep peacefully at night, right?

Of course you do. Come morning, the stage will have Samurai Dogs YET AGAIN, coffee, Cheerios and milk. Have at it. ]

We'll be going on a break this weekend!

[ 00 EST 24 April: Clue/Activity!!* (change of plans, I'll drop a clue tomorrow so you guys can do something over the weekend.)

00 EST 27 April: Suspicion poll comes to an end and Ousting poll gets put up.

00 EST 28 April: Ousting poll draws to a close. A new day begins, with two teams out of the game. ]

[ Once the clock ticks midnight - then again, you wouldn't know since there aren't any clocks around - you hear a coughing sound from the loudspeakers positioned in various spots on the ceiling. ]

Ahem, ahem…! This concludes our first day. Please head back to the dressing rooms and get good night's rest. Breakfast will be served at 6am. Don't worry! We will wake you all up.

Both the men and women's washrooms have a shower stall. Feel free to use them at your own convenience. The dressing rooms should be cleaned up now, and there is now a selection of new clothing for everyone to use.

[ If one goes back to the dressing room they woke up in, they'll find that the room is clean. No more chalk outlines, all the furniture is in place, etc. There are now various clothing stands providing everyone with ~sleepwear~.

The seats in the audience area are comfortable, but if you look hard enough, you'll find that there are three mattresses in the broom closet. Which you can open. It's not locked!

Hours pass, and whether or not you sleep or stay up to explore, all phones beep a few hours later. Click on the message, and it shows you the new poll. ]



[ And once again, an announcement through the loudspeakers! ]

Good morning one and all! There are only ten teams left. Please do your best to identify all wolves.

[ Kelly, Emily, Doom, and Integra are nowhere to be found.

But… hey! The buffet table on stage now has new food served. There's bread and butter, hot coffee, more Samurai Dogs, some sugar and cream packets for the milk… it's a simple spread.

And… what's this? A bunch of keys with a heart-shaped charm? Maybe somebody lost it… ]

Mechanics
Shepherd info & what's been happening so far (wip)

[ Well, the game is over. Revivals have happened. How?

You already know.

You've tried entering the mirrors in the haunted house to try and see if you can go back to where you belong, but you couldn't. The mirrors aren't even mirrors anymore—they've become portraits of the team you represent. You don't even know who this person is...?

You don't belong here. You're from 2019, 2012, 2026, and it doesn't seem like you can go back. You have a new life now in 2027. How will you live it? ]

NOTE Welcome to Cry Badger's post game mingle! For those who didn't participate in the game and would like to play the originals (aka characters who REALLY BELONG TO 2027), here are two things to note:

1) a murder game of Cry Wolf happened in Gatewater Land unbeknown to anyone but these people.

2) setting is 2027, Dual Destinies-era. For convenience's sake, let's make it post-Turnabout for Tomorrow.

[ Welcome to Endgame, where it's the year 2027. The Dark Age of the Law has just begun to end, and, well… the ends definitely did not justify the means.

Phoenix Wright has paid his dues. Simon Blackquill has done his sentence, but committed no crime! And mistakes… everyone made a few! They are the champions, my friends. And the Wright Anything Agency will keep on fighting til the ends (justify the means). They are the champions. No time for losers like the allies of the bad badger — who, by the way were Simon Blackquill (oh the irony), Godot, Dahlia, Simon Keyes, and Matt Engarde.

As for the ousting… Dahlia didn't die tonight. Why? Well. No reason. It's done, after all.

Anyway, you wake up in your room in the haunted house as if it's a normal day. Or is it? You dreamt about being in a haunted house and being in a game. You remember vividly the deaths of Keyes, Engarde, Blackquill, Armando, and many others. It either a horrid nightmare, or it was all real. But the catch here is? Any injuries you may have had, you still have them. They're note fatal anymore, but it's there. If you didn't eat in your dream, you sure are starving to hell. Why, though? Why? You don't even remember falling off your bed in your sleep…

Where are you, you wonder? You look out the windo— No, there's no window. Just a mirror. Weren't you supposed to be in prison? Weren't you supposed to be dead?

You remember mirrors… Mirrors. And when you take a look at one for the first time in the day, you hear a screechy voice that makes your head itch. Allies of blue badgers win. Ousting overturned by Pearl Fey.

What are you doing at the Gatewater Land haunted house, exactly?

Then, it hits you. Hostages? What happened to them? Once you leave, you decide to check on Apollo, Iris, Athena, and Miles Edgeworth, and they will just give you blank looks. What are you talking about?

But, while you're still in the mansion, you may hear this over the intercom:

"Today marks the fifth anniversary of Maximus Protonomy Badger's death. He was died when he was fifty-two, and served the prestigious Gatewater Land as the very first man behind the mascot of the Proto Badger.

"Unfortunately, Proto was a very troubled man. At an early age, he showed signs of abnormality. It seemed he could talk to the dead, or to speak and possess other people through mirrors. I know that we've all had our share in spirit medium news, but this is all rather different, isn't it?

"Proto was admitted to the Los Angeles Mental Facility in 2001 for his epileptic fits, and his mentally deranged personality. He also had dissociative personality disorder, and borderline personality disorder. The man was known to pretend to be different kinds of people. He even pretended to be the chief of police once! And there were many times he pretended to be other people, and attempted to murder them.

"But today is a day of celebration! Today until the rest of the week, Gatewater Land has decided to open its gates for free to commemorate and remember Proto's contributions to society.

"May Proto rest in peace." ]

NOTE:
PSA if anyone wants to try killing someone in the endgame post
proto's glass magic doesn't work anymore since he's dead
so permadeath
ENJOY!!!

[ ONCE AGAIN, ousting has ended. Much like the three other nights... well, it just isn't safe.

Team The Phantom's room seems to have been ransacked. And... well, things just look VERY WEIRD. Godot, or Mr. Diego Armando is wearing a spacesuit of sorts, with a utility knife stuck in his chest. This seems to have been his cause of death. Why is he wearing a spacesuit, though?

Simon Blackquill, on the other hand, is missing. If you search the mansion hard enough, you'll find him in the hallway right next to the dining hall. His corpse is on a table. His chest is bleeding, and that might have been where the killer dealt the fatal blow.

But! It isn't just any table. It looks like that pink thing on the left side, and yes. It seems like he's ready to be dismantled. But fear not! The machine his body is resting on is turned off. There's a bloody katana on the floor.

Shelly de Killer, on the other hand, has been taken out by the allies of the bad badger. His body can be found in his room, a gunshot on his shoulder. It must have been a huge caliber gun, because the hole made by the bullet is pretty big. He likely died from blood loss. Revolvers... amirite?

The mirrors in the library are more like portraits now, especially when there are such few remaining teams left.

Good morning, allies of the blue and badger. You are almost at endgame.

[ 00:01 MARCH 9 EST: Day 6 begins, and a new suspicion poll pops up. ONLY SIX TEAMS REMAIN.

00 MARCH 10 EST: Nothing. No more clues.

00 MARCH 11 EST: Ousting poll gets put up! ]

[ Ousting has ended, and you're all prodded to go back to your rooms.

You hear the sound of glass, and maybe a scream. And a thud, as if something like a statue just fell and broke. Basically, there is a lot of noise in the middle of the night again.

The door to the Redd White room is swinging open, and you'll find Mia Fey's body on the floor. She's seated with her back against the mirror, blood flowing from the back of her head, into her clothes, and onto the floor. She seems to have died from a blow by a blunt object, and may have lived for a few minutes after being hit. Near her body is the word "blu", written in blood, with the same handwriting as the one you've seen when you received the letter.

Maya Fey's death seems to be… quite unique. It's not like any other crime scene Phoenix Wright has scene, for sure. Her body has ropes all around, and she's seated on a chair, posed like The Thinker. But just like her elder sister, she's got a huge wound on her head. Blood flowing, seeping, and dripping on the carpets.

Why did they die? Wasn't it Team The Phantom who was ousted?

… It seems one has overturned the ousting, and it was definitely one of you. And when you enter the Redd White room, you will hear the badger say it. Overturn oust. One of you. Team Phantom is not oust.

And just like the night before, another team has passed.

The door to the Kristoph Gavin room is also open, and you'll find Kristoph seated on a table with a deck of cards sprawled all over, as well as on the floor. There's blood spatter on the cards, and you can see a huge mark on his forehead. It seems he was hit from behind, since the direction of the blood was not going to his face, but rather, flowing through his blond locks that he meticulously curls every morning.

On the other side of the table is Colias Palaeno, his head resting on the table, with a yellow coffee mug in his hand. You may notice some blue residue from where he seems to have taken a sip of his coffee. Poison? Most definitely.

But if you decide to investigate further, it isn't just a deck of cards on the table. There is this, too. It seems the Kristoph Gavin team has found out more than they should have. Or, you know. The allies of the Bad Badger just to them.

The mirrors in the library now display an image of Redd White, where Maya and Mia's mirrors were supposed to be. And Kristoph Gavin's portrait where Kristoph and Palaeno's were supposed to be.

Good morning, allies of the bad and blue badgers. There are only eight teams now.

Upon checking the mirrors, you will hear Proto Badger talk again. Only one bad badger ally found. You are all guilty.]

[ 00:01 MARCH 6 EST: Day 3 begins, and a new suspicion poll pops up. ONLY EIGHT TEAMS REMAIN.

00 MARCH 7 EST: A clue will be given. Suspicion poll closes at MIDNIGHT.

00 MARCH 8 EST: Ousting poll gets put up! ]

CLUE!!

[ In the spirit of Ace Attorney, the game where murders happen but NO ONE ACTUALLY SEES THE ACTUAL THING EXCEPT FOR THE PERPETRATORS…

The night has ended. You might have ousted someone, but NOTHING HAPPENS. You go back to your rooms and you find some samurai dogs by your bedside. At least there's food. Better than nothing. But you feel tired. It's been a long and stressful day. Could you even sleep at that rate?

In the middle of the night, you might hear a loud thud. If you wake up (or if you were already awake) and check the hallway, you'll find a bust—or its remnants—by the mirror closer to the Hawthorne and Gavin rooms. The statue is coloured… pink? Magenta? Well, whatever.

Behind the bust is a body… a dead body. Yup, that's right.

If you approach it, you'll find the dead body of Myriam Scuttlebutt. There's no box, just the young girl. If you saw her without the guise of her box, you'll realise that she isn't wearing her school uniform. She has a green jumpsuit on. Her arms were raised and had some red markings on her wrist, as if her hands had been tied. An awl was lodged in her abdomen. Dried blood by her wound, as if the blood had seeped through from her wound.

Myriam Scuttlebutt has been taken out by the allies of the Bad Badger. You have all been warned. You should have expected this.

If you decide to do a headcount, you'll find that one team is missing. One team with two members in it. The room to the Engarde room is swinging open. Do you check it out?

Upon entering, you'll find Matt Engarde's corpse placed conveniently on a chair. You'd think it's Matt, anyway. He seems to be wearing the Nickel Samurai costume. He's seated with his head facing the ground. There's a scarf on his neck, placed rather too tightly. Did he did from strangulation…? By the chair is an open guitar case, and a vanity with a wine glass on top of it.

By the only mirror in the room is Simon Keye's body, hanging frrom the ceiling. Nearby is a coffee table, and an envelope with the police department's seal on it. Whoever opens it will read a letter that reads "proto badgr kill."

If you go back to the library, you'll find Myriam's mirror still standing, but it doesn't function as a mirror anymore. You'll find a portrait of Aristotle Means instead, like a huge picture frame. A huge X painted in red covers about half of the portrait. The same goes for Matt and Simon Keye's mirrors - except Simon's mirror also has Matt's face on it. L O L.

The other mirrors have names again… although if you count, there seems to be only ten teams now: ]



[ If you've still got an appetite, there are calzones (WHICH IS BASICALLY THE GRANDFATHER OF PIZZAS - THANK YOU PARKS AND RECREATION) and sushi (NOT BURGERS) that is edible in the dining hall. If you are thirsty, here is a water dispenser, as well as a bowl of punch. Not alcoholic. ]
