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.]]

[ He nods, running his fingers along the fabrics. ]

Yeah... I've worn plenty of amazing costumes, but I guess I never thought too much about all the hard work that goes into making them. I guess I have a lot to be really grateful for...
biyishuangfei: (β™ͺ I know it’s too late)

[personal profile] biyishuangfei 2021-06-09 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
I feel the same way, though just for my regular clothing.

[ Which, you know, didn't come all that cheap... ]

What did you wear the costumes for?
warmthbringer: (3402828 (1))

[personal profile] warmthbringer 2021-06-09 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, I can see that!

[ He laughs quietly. A fond expression crosses his face. ]

Remember how Tenn and I performed with Jack? Back home, we wore costumes for our performances. It's not uncommon to go through lots of different ones during a whole concert.
biyishuangfei: (β™ͺ 9)

[personal profile] biyishuangfei 2021-06-09 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, alright.

[ He certainly did remember that, especially so when he had essentially asked them to help out with the party... ]

Though, why would you change your costumes so many times during a concert? Is that to wow the crowd?

[personal profile] warmthbringer 2021-06-09 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, something like that. They usually match the song. It's fun to change outfits, but...

[ He laughs a bit. ]

It can get kind of chaotic.
biyishuangfei: (β™ͺ I know it’s too late)

[personal profile] biyishuangfei 2021-06-09 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ He tried to imagine changing at points in singing...he'd probably get tired or mess it up somehow. ]

Chaotic? How?
warmthbringer: (44)

[personal profile] warmthbringer 2021-06-09 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's all backstage... but we have to change outfits pretty quickly. That way, the fans aren't waiting too long.
biyishuangfei: (β™ͺ 9)

[personal profile] biyishuangfei 2021-06-09 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes sense.

[ Though now he's curious about another thing... ]

...how long have you and Tenn been doing this sort of thing?

warmthbringer: (44)

[personal profile] warmthbringer 2021-06-09 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, well...

[ His expression shifts, becoming a little more wistful. ]

He's been doing it for about two years. IDOLiSH7--my group--started almost a year ago.
biyishuangfei: (β™ͺ Alarm goes off)

[personal profile] biyishuangfei 2021-06-09 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
So you're already experienced, then.

[ A year was a experienced as far as he was concerned. ]

What's your favorite thing about performing, out of curiosity?
warmthbringer: (0-17)

[personal profile] warmthbringer 2021-06-09 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah-- I've still got a lot to learn and improve on, but...

[ He smiles. ]

As long as I can make people smile and be happy, that's more than enough for me. It makes me really happy when I bring happiness to whoever listens. That's my favorite thing.
biyishuangfei: (β™ͺ 3)

[personal profile] biyishuangfei 2021-06-09 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Aw. Riku sounded like a good person. His fans would be lucky to have him and vice-versa. ]

I'm sure your fans would say that you would. I remember witnessing the performance you and Tenn did back at the party, after all.
warmthbringer: (1-17)

[personal profile] warmthbringer 2021-06-09 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He beams at that. ]

I hope so. I wish you could see us perform with our groups, though... TRIGGER--that's Tenn's group--is really amazing. They're only three people, but watching them is like magic.

And as for me... I think I shine most with the rest of IDOLiSH7. It's not the same, performing without them.
biyishuangfei: (β™ͺ Yet I keep getting closer)

[personal profile] biyishuangfei 2021-06-09 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He didn't doubt it. Even though he wasn't an entertainer it was still easy for him to imagine it would be an incredible show when he saw those two work hard at one at the party. ]

I think I can understand. You're used to performing with those people, so it's easier to do those things with them than with anyone else, right?
