GAME 1: FIRST DAY.


GAME ONE the first day

The elevator doors slide open with a gentle ping, and inexplicably, you find yourself inside a bar overlooking an impossible city view. Depending on your constitution, you may feel your knees begin to buckle, and fortunately several plush chairs are ready to accommodate both drunkards and weary travelers alike. Waist-high tables stocked with water and high-caliber champagne are dotted across the bar's lounge -- perhaps you will help yourself to some refreshments?

Small alcoves flow off the main interior of the lounge, leading to seventeen tiny, tiny rooms with an uncomfortable (but nice looking) cot for each person still in play. The rooms even have each player's name etched above them in delicate cursive, signaling who belongs where. if you feel like investigating your room, you may decide that its interior leaves much to be desired.

But most importantly, as you enter the lounge, a thin blond woman, who would perhaps be quite beautiful if it weren't for the permanent grimace across her face, will hand you a thick sheet of card stock with the game's rules stamped across it in gold foil.

"You have until this evening to cast your first suspicions," she says to you, her clipped tone markedly unpleasant. "The wolves will meet in secret, of course, and the veterinarian may leave their protection anonymously. The last special role in play, the lovers, are encouraged to keep their circumstances secret."

A champagne bucket sits on the bar top. Slips of paper and a pen are next to it. Will you take this time to cast your aspersions?

[Well he is indeed dashing, but.]

Why? If this is a comedy act, you're just gonna poke fun at me.

Great, you've already got the basic idea down then!

[If he doesn't want to be a part of this act, he really better be dashing soon!]

Question number one! What... is your name?
flamingprick: (I'm the best)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-14 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's...well, he's not running quite yet.]

Shima.

[But if someone is going to be made fun of, it might as well be the class clown.]

[personal profile] mayvin 2017-07-14 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Let's give a round of applause for the brave, the daring, Shima!

[No one claps, but Magilou continues on nonetheless.]

Question number two! You seem like a smart boy, Shima. There's something I've been wondering about that I hope you can help me with!

Why... did the pengyon cross the road?
flamingprick: (*raises eyebrow*)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-14 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Wait give him a moment he's sure he's heard this one-]

To get to the other side?
mayvin: (Default)

[personal profile] mayvin 2017-07-14 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope! The poor thing was actually pushed! It then ran into a ravenous daemon, who devoured it whole!

[A pause...]

Oh, I suppose it did get to the other side, huh?
flamingprick: (what's that over there?)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-14 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
What's this about demons eating shapes?

[No Rin that's a polygon.]

Our genius boy Shima doesn't seem to be too sharp, folks! But that's alright! I totally get it! Just the other day my friend was trying to show me the difference between a pengyon and an albatross!

But you know what? It's all geese to me!
flamingprick: (y-yeah whatever)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-15 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Something's quacking here alright.

[He's not as offended by the 'not sharp' comment, because he's totally pretending to be Shima. That makes the comment about Shima, not him. In his mind at least.]

[personal profile] mayvin 2017-07-15 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
But we're all quacking up, aren't we?
flamingprick: (what the fuck are you talking about)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-15 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
Quacking up the wrong tree, maybe.

[Mixed metaphors are lovely, get used to them.]

I gotta say, this comedy ain't cuttin' it so far.

--What are you doing, Okumura-kun?!
flamingprick: (toothy grin)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-15 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
[LA DE DA DON'T MIND HIM he's just attempting to shove Renzou away discreetly.]

You can't just steal my good name like this!
flamingprick: (grr)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-15 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
Oh come on, I didn't even use your given name! You have like a dozen brothers 'n sisters, I could be Kinzou for all you know!

[All lies. He absolutely is being Renzou right now.]

Don't drag my family's names like this either!

flamingprick: (*raises eyebrow*)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-15 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe I'm your new adopted older and better brother-

[Wait. IS he older than Shima?]

When's your birthday?
flamingprick: (oh snap!)

[personal profile] flamingprick 2017-07-15 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Wait really? Why didn't you tell us over the summer, we were in Kyoto then! We could've done something for your birthday.
