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.]]

[Thankfully it doesn't last long, mostly because it's hard to write while hugging somebody.]

You're nice
biqe: (you are what you love)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-16 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm glad you think so.

[ He wouldn't give himself even that much credit, but... ]

You're having a good time, then? I think we all sort of needed this.

[ After... everything.

...It hurts remembering that SQ doesn't get to be here with them, though. ]
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[love yourself, says fellow member of hates self club]

Yes
Everyone here is nice
I like Marcus
He's cool
biqe: (all those picturesque moments)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-16 10:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Everyone, huh...

That gets a nod and a fond smile. ]


Mm, he's very dependable. I don't know that I would have made it through the first week if he wasn't here with me.

[ And he would have been a lot more of a recluse if he did. ]

I'm glad that revelation from last weekend doesn't seem to have bothered anyone too much.

[ As far as he can tell, anyway... ]
gemuinemanagement: (in the dark)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think it bothered anyone
There was a second where I was worried I said something totally offensive because of it
But Marcus says it's not like that so it's fine
biqe: (i have no idea what's going on lately)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-16 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't recall you ever saying anything offensive, at least.
gemuinemanagement: ('cause for that instant)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Because Marcus told me not to say anything to you because he was worried you'd be upset?
biqe: (the clock is getting faster)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-16 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[ ??? While there are plenty of topics that might be upsetting to him, he has a hard time seeing how Marcus being a mirrite would make any of them seem offensive. ]

What... um, what was the general subject?
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Just the general subject should be okay, right?]

Romance
biqe: (it's a middle aged crisis type thing)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-16 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I see...

[ He really doesn't because his crushes on Ix and Mileena don't have anything to do with their mirrites, but— ]

W-well, anyway, I'm sure it wasn't that bad, so don't worry about it.
gemuinemanagement: (and pulse to pulse)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-16 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
OK

Your hair is pretty


[Logical leap for him to make.]
biqe: (the heart attacks i'm convinced i have)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-17 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, um.

[ He does not know where that came from and will chalk it up to alcohol... ]

T-thank you? I don't really do anything special with it, it's really just braided to keep it out of my face while I'm reading...
gemuinemanagement: (people come and people go I know)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-17 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Really
But it seems like it would be a lot to take care of


[Does Marcus help him wash all of it or something?]
biqe: (you'll fake it if you have to)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-17 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's really not that much...

[ have you seen some of the girls here ]
gemuinemanagement: (you're so worth it)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-17 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah but like yuri seems like she's better at personal grooming than you

Anyway. Suga considers this for a second before just kind of like. Poking the end of Phil's braid.]
biqe: (not what loves you back)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-17 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ that's 100% not wrong but also wow? ]

...Were you... thinking about growing yours out, or...?
gemuinemanagement: (remember me)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-17 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe
I thought it would take a lot of upkeep
But if you say it doesn't then
It looks nice
biqe: (all the pretty words we will never speak)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-17 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ shakes his head ]

Just basic shampoo and conditioner... and then I comb it, braid it, and forget about it.

[ it helps that his hair is just like, naturally very silky though ]
gemuinemanagement: (she makes the sound)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-17 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
OK
Someday I will be pretty like Phillip
biqe: (the heart attacks i'm convinced i have)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-17 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
I-I don't think that's a very high bar, but I'm sure you'll be able to pull off whatever you decide to do.

[ man just thank god you're not commenting on his hair color specifically ]
gemuinemanagement: (for which I paid dearly)

[personal profile] gemuinemanagement 2021-06-17 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Is black a weird hair color in JRPGland??]

OK
Thank you for the support
biqe: (and you love things just because)

[personal profile] biqe 2021-06-17 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[ NO BUT HE HAS THIS STALKER WHO'S CREEPILY INTO BLACK HAIR......... but we don't talk about him so!!

he smiles; you do indeed have his support! ]
