day four.

[foxhounds]

SHIP-TRAP day four 28 players remaining The sun rises, and with it comes the loud gong of a bell, which signals that you're able to return to the grounds of the mansion. In fact, it seems like that same unseen force is compelling you to, since the longer you stay in the jungle, the more you feel the unsettling feeling of being watched. When you arrive, Iván is waiting at the foot of the stairs to greet you. "Good morning. Breakfast is waiting in the dining room." You have until 6PM to explore the grounds of the mansion and talk amongst yourselves. In addition, you can see the paper votes from the previous night's trial laid out by the guestbook if you want to confirm what you saw yesterday. rulebook character statuses character profiles private conversations graveyard The trial will start on August 20th. Though a special post for discussion will go up for voting, you are encouraged to discuss who to vote for throughout the day.

I hope not... I really, really do. I'd hate for that to happen.

[ghettobatman]

[Gi-Ne can be assistant role caller]

We need to find him.

[unrulyprincess]

...No, I have not seen him. I know who it is you are speaking of, but...

[She can tell that he's tense, they're all tense over these murders, but...]

Is something wrong?

[Besides the...you know. Murder aspect of things.]

[meatery]

I will. Don't worry about me.

[Though if the pattern holds, she's perfectly safe during the day. And yes, she does want to go.]

[adornmental]

[The offer seems to surprise him a little, considering he'd gotten the general impression that Clarine was definitely not keen on heading out with the search party.]

...Thanks. [It's a very kind gesture and he'll acknowledge it as such, but still:] You should probably take a break after yesterday, though.

[Stocking had been pretty harsh on everyone.]

[dolosa]

W-Why Orion-san in particular...?

[ossifragant]

[He gives Matt a look, even though the man can't see it.]

You noticed too, huh?

[unrulyprincess]

I wish to see my brother again... Klein would know what to do. No matter how terrible this were to get, if Klein were here...

[She could have faith and hope again.

But he's not.

She's on her own.]

Rei... we mustn't give up. [She says, clearly already on the verge of giving up.]

[meatery]

Well, yeah, of course we do. [...] I'm sorry, was he- is he a friend of yours? We'll get looking right away.

[Since Matt can't look.]

[unrulyprincess]

[Stocking had definitely been hard on everyone, and Shijima as well...but especially hard on Kashuu.

So after a moment, she nods.]

I will. But... I am telling you that you must also take care of yourself. I will not...I will not accept losing you as well, so--that is an order.

[She says, in a completely un-imperious and un-Clarine tone.]

[hopefragment]

I haven't seen him. Or... that girl who found Detective Skye's body, Shimizu.

[hopefragment]

...Good point.

[He just goes quiet at that. What a good island of people we are.]

[unrulyprincess]

...Very well then.

[Somehow, it's hard not to have faith in Gi-ne, so she just nods and focuses on her food again.

She has to eat, if she's going to be scolding others about their eating habits.

As tough as it is.]

[ghettobatman]

[He's extra worried about helmet-chan... maybe they're buddies]

We need to find him.

[ghettobatman]

I spoke with him last night. I need to make sure he's alright.

[ghettobatman]

Something like that.

Let me know right away if you find him. Please.

[ghettobatman]

[Matt's hands tighten on the cane a little.]

[His voice stays level]

Have you seen him?

[meatery]

... Sure, of course I will.

[Damnit, why does everyone have friends... Times like this the usual saiyan philosophy of "form no attachments, care about no one but yourself" seems sensible.]

[ghettobatman]

... Let me know if you find them.

[Though he knows helmet-chan better than the girl]

[ossifragant]

No. I noticed he was missing earlier, but...

[Maybe Greed's buddies with Orion, too.]

We need to find him.

[unrulyprincess]

Um...yes, of course! We will search for him.

[She's never seen sidekick-chan so rattled....time to do some serious searching.]

[hopefragment]

Y-yeah. I will.

[Matt's anxiousness is clearly getting to him, though, and he puts a hand on Matt's shoulder. What a role-reversal.]

Matt, are... are you okay?

[adornmental]

[Ah, it's distressing to hear such a Clarine thing being said in such an un-Clarine tone...! Though of course he understands why it's like that.]

If it's an order, then I'll follow it, ab-so-lutely. [Injecting a little more energy into the conversation - or at least trying to.] So you don't have to worry, 'kay? I'll take care of myself, and you better do the same. Don't push yourself too hard or anything like that, got it?

[ If you're exploring the south side of the island and venture to the edges of the island where those sheer cliffs are, you'll see that one of them looks like it partially collapsed. If you're familiar with the area, you'll know that it was definitely not like this yesterday. Be careful if you approach to investigate further! ]

[hopefragment]

[Just... runs a hand through his hair and shakes his head. So much for "maybe they're just late," now he's really, really worried.

Maybe it's because Matt's clearly worried.]

Yeah. Yeah, me... me too.
