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.]]

Apparently I never got this notif!

[H-hmm...

She looks over at them, uncertain.

Which one would you recommend...?
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

rude

[He considers this for a second, looking her over, before pulling out a ruby bracelet. Red looks good on her!]
laytorest: ([Smile] He holds great interest)

Re: rude

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-13 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh! She'll take it with a small smile, carefully placing it on her right wrist.]

It still doesn't feel right to just take it, but... I'll find something to make it up to you!

[Maybe if she can get the hang of cooking properly...]
gemuinemanagement: (she makes the sound)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-13 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about it
You can consider it a gift
laytorest: ([Determined] On the nape)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-13 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Did you make one for C-ta, too?
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-13 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes
How did you know
?
laytorest: ([Smile] I can smell cooking)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-14 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cute...]

You really are close friends, aren't you?
gemuinemanagement: (spoon as sleep starts)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-14 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope so
He's very important to me


[Hopefully C-ta feels the same...]
laytorest: ([Smile] They heated up the)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-16 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I can tell. I'm sure it will make him happy to receive it.
gemuinemanagement: (now all the late night bars)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
What if he doesn't like it
What if he doesn't wear jewelry
I should have asked him if he wore jewelry first


[Fret.]
laytorest: ([Fret] go in after…)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-16 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
[...These are very important concerns, yes.]

If you're worried about it, maybe you could make a set? A ring, a necklace, and a bracelet, that way he can pick a simpler one if he wants.
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'd need to find more emeralds that are the right shade
They have to match his eyes
It's very important
laytorest: ([Confused] the door)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-16 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Is it difficult to find emeralds like that?
gemuinemanagement: (why don't you mind)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Depends how picky you are

[But C-ta deserves the best!]
laytorest: ([Smile] I can smell cooking)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-16 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
So you're just picky about it.
gemuinemanagement: (I would I would I would I would)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Of course
He deserves the best
laytorest: ([Determined] Let me show you)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-16 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Would you like me to help you find more?
gemuinemanagement: (she makes the sound)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Would you
I'd really appreciate it
laytorest: ([Determined] On the nape)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-16 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! Do you have any extra ones that are the right color?
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Rooting around in his pile, please hold...

Here's an emerald that's the right shade, but it's pretty small.]
laytorest: ([Smile] like it's because)

[personal profile] laytorest 2021-06-16 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
[Taking it!]

I'll go find more, then! I'll be back later!
gemuinemanagement: (when you're not here)

wrapup

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Thumbs up! Surely this interaction will not become tragic by this weekend.]
