CHAPTER 2

CHAPTER 2




The first chapter was over. The stakes and mechanics of the system you're in have been shown to their full extent, and regardless of how you feel about the Samidare and Zola's deaths, the story must go on.

Clean-up is done with a perfection that'd make you wonder if there ever was a murder on that rooftop in the residential district. Everything is spotless and repaired, making it look like nothing ever happened. If it wasn't for the absence of two people among your number, you'd think it had all been a bad dream. But it wasn't. The brutality of the incident and the execution make that plainly clear.

Now, with the opening of a new week, something else opens. Lands beyond the area you spent seven days in. What will the new week bring? Will it be another murder?

Keep turning the pages and find out.

[[Welcome to Week 2! Feel free to make top levels at your discretion, and remember to note it in your header if you plan on investigating any locations. However, please try to keep investigations to Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday! You can also privately contact Hamelin at your leisure.

In addition, a reminder that any Murder Proposals for this week are due by Tuesday 3:00 PM EST/12:00 PM PST! However, please note that you have the option of submitting murder proposals for a later week as well.]]
gemuinemanagement: (of the business)

Oh
Thank you very much
biqe: (i'd be enough and you'd be enough)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-07 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
You're welcome.

Anyway, I'm glad you've got something like this to work on now. It's much easier not to dwell too hard on our situation when you have something to keep your mind occupied.

[ Like a birdapult. ]
gemuinemanagement: (where is the dream)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-07 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Is is
So how's the catapult coming
biqe: (projected endlessly)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-07 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
It's going well, I think. We finished drawing the plans up over the weekend and moved onto the construction phase, which is pretty straightforward in this case. If testing goes as planned, we may be able to use it as soon as tomorrow.
gemuinemanagement: (why don't you mind)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-07 07:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope we find something useful

[Otherwise we're catapulting poor Nageki for nothing.]
biqe: (not what loves you back)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-07 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
...Yes, as do I.

[ Not having regrets about something he does would be a nice change of pace! ]

It seems more likely that we might find something of use there than in other most of the other locations, at least, since there are so many notable curious things about it.

[ Or maybe that just means it's more likely to be a trap, but let's not think about that. ]
gemuinemanagement: (of indignation)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-07 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It's definitely weird

What did you make of that message in the slipper
biqe: (staying home can't be that bad for me)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-07 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
With the timing... what it was, I admittedly haven't given the words themselves much thought yet.

More generally, it seems odd that we were all given the same page, for one... Given the method of delivery, it seems unrealistic to think that it could have been an unknown party slipping it in without Hamelin's knowledge, and if he was aware of it, I don't know if we can assume it was intended to help us in any way.
gemuinemanagement: (you're so worth it)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-07 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems like our group was the only one who got it
Which makes me think it was a reward of some kind
biqe: (it's a middle aged crisis type thing)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-07 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
It did seem like that. It's hard to believe he'd give us any reward that would potentially put him at a disadvantage, though, so I don't know how much stock we should put in it.

...I'm also still really not sure how our group was the one to end up with this. [ You all saw him!! ] But then again, Yor's dancing was very nice...
gemuinemanagement: (of indignation)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
I thought everyone did well
Including you


[Phil was a fine Cinderella, don't sell yourself short!]
biqe: (the boy who could only give her less)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-08 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ah... w-well, I really don't think that's true in my case, but... thank you anyway.

Setting aside my performance skills or lack thereof, we really didn't make a bad group.
gemuinemanagement: ('cause for that instant)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
It was fun
Thank you for letting me do the camerawork


[Since he knew Phil was aiming for that before the issue of Suga, Acting came up.]
biqe: (i'll try to make it right)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-08 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Of course, that wasn't any problem.

[ ...Okay, it kind of was for him specifically, but that wasn't Suga's fault, so it's fine. ]
gemuinemanagement: (for which I paid dearly)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
[A nod, and a pause.]

Yor's dancing was definitely the best though
biqe: (all those picturesque moments)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-08 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
It was really amazing how graceful she was once she got into it... not that she's usually ungraceful, but. It was impressive.

[ what is it like to have grace... ]
gemuinemanagement: (remember me)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
Do you think she would teach me how to do that if I asked
biqe: (not what loves you back)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-08 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly? I don't think she'd mind being asked by you, at any rate.

[ It might be a welcome distraction after last weekend... ]
gemuinemanagement: (where is the dream)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-08 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
I think that would be nice
Yuri taught me how to dance with a partner
But that was much different


[And both of them involved surprisingly little wiggling.]
