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.]]

[ She agrees, though. ]
no subject
[ He'll turn a page, before setting the book down for a bit. ]
You know, I realize I don't know much about you. Can you tell me something? Like your most favorite thing to do back home?
no subject
No, no it's OK! I didn't mean to make this like, heavy or anything. [ She smiles, it's fine really. ]
But if we're paying 20 questions I'm OK with that too! But My favorite thing huh...I think it's just like, seeing whatever I can? Doing whatever I can and all that fun stuff.
What about you?
no subject
[ ... also, what kind of answer was that to his question! Well, okay, that's fine. Some people were like that.
Anyway, Huaisang could always answer and he should since he started this, but he wanted to make a teensy game out of it now. ]
Hmm...how about you guess? It's something I can do and it's on my profile.
no subject
Mmm I haven't look at that in a while though....? [ Jeopardy theme song ensues. ]
So I'll just take a guess. Is it being the best party host? ♥
no subject
[ He'll look decently proud for a second. Yes, feed his small ego. ]
But, that's not right. Painting landscapes and fans is my most favorite way to spend my time.
no subject
Ooh you gotta show me sometime! But wait, how are you good at fans?
no subject
I'm very good at painting fans. Though, I won't be able to show you until I get my hands on some materials...
no subject
no subject
I don't mind. Do you want a specific design or just any would do?
no subject
But hey, that means I should do something for you, right? I'm not really artistic...unless you wanted makeup done? ♥
no subject
Anyway, he's never really worn makeup, but he's sure he'd look alright in it. ]
I'm not sure if I want something like that or not. I'm going to guess you're good at doing that, though?
no subject
Some guys don't like it, but a little sparkle is good for everyone ♥. And it turns heads too!
no subject
...
....
Okay, he's done. ]
Maybe a little might be good, then? I'd need to also look in a mirror or something before I actually commit to something like that.
[ But looking a little cute might not be bad. He'll also turn down applying any lipstick; but a face glow couldn't be too bad. ]
no subject
[ They'll need proper makeup for that mind, but its a thought for the future anyway. ] Got anyone in mind you wanna look hot for? ♥
no subject
Yes, he might have a crush on a certain someone here. ]
Oh! Well, I don't know. Maybe?
[ Said in the exact tone someone would use if they would, in fact, have a crush. Even if the practical part of him knew it was ill advised in a situation like this, he's a romantic at heart. ]
no subject
[ She looks pretty pleased with herself tbh. ]
no subject
Except no it was a little more since this time he had associated with the person more instead of being just a troublemaker and...a terrible student, which meant he found out that the man had a charming personality too (to him, at least!). Granted McGillis did see his terrible goof up just like everyone else, but still!! ]
There's only one way to make that promise believable, SQ.
[ Serious (????) voice as he held out his pinky to her. ]
no subject
[ Grasping his pinkie with her own. ]
I totally, really, super swear that I won't tell anyone!
no subject
Anyway, now that I've told you, do you have an actual crush? I mean there are so many nice looking people, so I wouldn't be surprised.
no subject
Hehe, is he into that? If he is, I think you've got a chance! [ To the question though, she winks. ]
Compared to the last place I was at, this place is like, SO much better! But I wouldn't say I have like, crush on anyone? There's a lotta people I wouldn't mind spending the night with though ♥.
1/2
Both of them said, I don't know! to SQ's comment following the rhetorical question she made.
For the moment anyway. It's one thing to admit it than to find out...rip... ]
2/2
[ Outwardly he's clearly chill, it's all good. ]
I think that's a rather fair answer. I'm sure some of the others might feel the same way too.
[ They couldn't be the only ones!! He knew THAT one for sure, actually. ]
no subject
They have to, there's like so many hotties here? Guys, girls and I guess...birds? If you're into that! [ She tilts her head, jewelry jingling. ]
Hey, do you think we should actually find out who everyone likes?
no subject
[ He liked birds a lot but not to the point he'd date one... ]
There's an idea. But what did you have in mind to make it possible?
