CHAPTER 3

CHAPTER 3




The number of murders increased in the span of one week, and so did the number of deceased people. Four people dying in the span of a week is a noticeable change, reducing your numbers to 25. Though the bakery has been cleaned up and fixed back to the state it was in originally, now that the specter of murder has fully settled in, perhaps some of those currently alive wonder how many will be around at the end of the new week.

It's fortunate now everybody can ponder it with a colorful change of scenery. Despite the situation everyone has been in, the world around them were plausible, even perhaps mundane to some extent. The scenery that unfolds beyond a canyon to the east drives home a point:

You're in a world far perhaps, beyond your wildest imagination.

It's a land of sweets. Wherever you look you can see something that's both full of sugar and joy. You could reach anywhere and you could get something that will make your mood soar and your day get better! After all, there's something for everyone! What wonders will you find if you search hard enough? This is a paradise for a sweet tooth! The sight, though, may make one question pop up:

Will this candy land be dirtied with blood? Only time will tell.

[[Welcome to Week 3! 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.]]

[wink!!!!!!]

[Yeager's getting the bleariest squint here until Raven shrugs and goes for another sip.]

...Normally I'd need a citation on that one, but I'll let it slide just this once.
scythegun: (GREETING ⇝ guten tag motherfuckers)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-15 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? You're just going to let me get away with that? My, I'll have to try that more often~

[Raven deserves better. Anyway, he's refilling his glass.]

And here I thought you'd never let me get away with anything! Perhaps something good has come of all of this~!
reallyfishy: (★ at the bar)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-15 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm... [He makes an attempt to count on his fingers, but gives up quickly.] I dunno how many drinks in, I ain't got it in me ta be suspicious of ya right now.

[At least he's being honest.]

You're already makin' me question what I said though.
scythegun: (NOD ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-15 10:13 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know what I could have possibly said that was suspicious~

But at least you're honest! Do try not to pass out here, because I won't be carrying you all the way back to your room.
reallyfishy: (★ tired)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-15 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Whaaat?! But that's what drinkin' buddies do! They look out for each other an' carry each other home!

[Get with the program, Yeager!!]
scythegun: (OH MY ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-15 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You think I could carry you? Impossible! I'm dreadfully scrawny, you know! I'd undoubtedly injure myself even trying such a thing - and you wouldn't want to be responsible for that, now would you?

[You except him to do work?? Never.]
reallyfishy: (★ b-blushu)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-15 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
You carry that damn person-sized scythe around all the time!! Is this yer way of callin' me fat or somethin'?!

[HIS TAKEAWAY.]
scythegun: (UGH ⇝)

1/2

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-15 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[looks raven dead in the eyes

in the most serious tone imaginable:]
Yes.
scythegun: (FAKE ⇝)

2/2

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-15 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[and then he immediately ruins it by bursting into laughter but he attempted!!!!]
reallyfishy: (★ facepalm)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-16 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[G O D!!!!

But even he has to laugh at that performance.]


Y-Ya almost had me fer a second there...
scythegun: (HAIRFLIP ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-16 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
I am quite the skilled actor, in case you've forgotten~

[can anyone ever forget regaey, though. can they really.]
reallyfishy: (★ raven's hard life)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Fuckin' Regaey. Raven groans at that, reaching for the bottle to pour another glass to immediately drink from.]

Unfortunately, I haven't... Ta this day I have no idea how you pulled that off fer so long.
scythegun: (FAKE ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-16 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Exceptional talent and a drastically different personality and accent can get you anywhere~!

[Not like Raven would know anything about that!!]

Of course, I did do my research as well. I wasn't going to try something that grand without being fully prepared, after all~!

[yeager is actually a huge nerd he just pretends he isn't.]
reallyfishy: (★ stuck)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-16 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
[He wouldn't know a thing about it. This is very true.]

S'not yer talent I'm knockin'. All of that I could totally buy. It's just...

[He raises the glass to his lips against, giving Yeager the flattest stare.]

Regaey.
scythegun: (NOD ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-16 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
Do you know how hard it was to keep a straight face every single time I had to write that name down? It was so difficult, Raven.

[He looks so delighted. Regaey is peak comedy, he is literally never topping that one.]
reallyfishy: (★ laidback)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-16 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[With a snort,]

Oh, I can imagine.

You probably woulda liked the face I made the first time I saw it. And the first time I witnessed someone take it at face value. Then it just kept happenin! Fer years! After a certain point I just couldn't say anythin'.
scythegun: (NOD ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-16 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
Truthfully, I really did think someone would catch on much earlier... But if they were going to let me get away with it, I certainly wasn't going to complain~!

[either everyone failed the perception check or regaey was a nat 20.]

I'm so glad you allowed me to carry on my little charade~ It was quite fun and profitable! Did you know I once had the absolute joy of inflicting Regaey on the Commandant?
reallyfishy: (★ huh?)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-16 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Raven almost spits out the sip he was taking. He quickly finishes it before (unintentionally) slamming his glass onto the table.]

No way. Did he actually fall fer it?
scythegun: (COY ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-16 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
I know it may be difficult to believe, but...

[A long pause for dramatic effect while smirking—]

He didn't fall for it at all. Did you know it's possible for him to look even more unimpressed than his usual disappointed expression?

[This is an Achievement, from the sound of it.]
reallyfishy: (★ wink)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-16 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[All that suspense, only to be let down... Raven groans, but shakes his head.]

I expected that, but can ya imagine...

[Raven wouldn't be able to look at Alexei with a straight face for a while, quite honestly.]

I really wish I coulda been there ta see it. I wonder how much it matched up ta the look he gives me every time he has ta drag my ass outta a prison cell.
scythegun: (FAKE ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2021-06-16 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Ooh, it might have been the same! I can only imagine how deeply annoying he finds that! It's certainly more disappointed than the usual expression he has every time he talks to me, so compare it next time you see us talking!

[Yeager takes great pride in being a massive disappointment!!]
reallyfishy: (★ carefree)

[personal profile] reallyfishy 2021-06-16 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[YEAGER PLEASE... But no, Raven honestly gets it.]

Done an' done. Man, d'you think he'd get a tension headache if we both came up ta him at the same time?
