Week 4

[foundationmods]

It finally happened. Someone murdered, and was punished for it. After a particularly grueling trial, one much worse than the games ever were, everyone definitely needed the rest of the weekend to rest up. But now it is Monday once more, and that means it is time to get back to 'work'.

The cameras have moved again, and the contestants will need to be careful where they say what until their new locations have been revealed. In addition to that, the house itself seems to have changed, with its usual colorful appearance suddenly a bit more grey. Even the weather seems to be gloomy, with those storm clouds from last week starting to overcast the area, threatening to drop rain.

Seventeen contestants remain in this game of death. How many more will fall before the game is over? And how many more will be driven to murder?

State of the Doezai

[darkremnants]

[ He's draped on the pool floatie. His face is aimed at the water as he propels himself from one end of the pool, to the other end. Like he's doing laps. ]

In case anyone doesn't know it yet, our Host's rooms are bugged. Cameras and mics. If you need to talk to him about anything, get clever about it or ask to meet him in the garage to talk about the Frog's stuff or something.

[ What are you even doing out there Ingway. ]

Secondly, our Host is wearing down. If his cover is blown, he will die.

[ there's a pause at that before he continues. ]

The Foundation will replace him. They still have a trial to finish up after all. I'm sure I don't have to explain why a new host would be bad news.

Or they might decide we have all been compromised spending so much time with him. That'll mean a full wipe and then they'll send replacements to start this trial all over again.

They could also decide they've seen enough and execute every last one of us.

My whole point is we have to be careful and to make sure the Foundation doesn't find out.

[ And to stop making him break character ]

[allmyfriendsaredead]

I've been trying to ignore him in front of the cameras, but...

[It's hard. She's nowhere near the liar that Satoru was when it comes to stuff like this.]

[darkremnants]

You're soft.

[ A little too soft. ]

They might be expecting some of that from you.

[allmyfriendsaredead]

[She makes a face, but it's not like she can easily deny it.]

I just hope it's enough of a cover. I'm really no good at this sort of thing...

[dereban]

[ that definitely isn't a surprise in the slightest bit.

not the fact that the rooms are bugged or that he's wearing down. because she's had that literal experience before. ]

. . . I talked to him on Saturday, before his rooms got bugged. I told him that I'll help him as much as I can to repair the 'mask' that he has. I can't fix it all the way because what he's done-- [ is basically done. none of them can change that. ] But he's been showing more and more of 'himself' and less of Dazai and that worries me.

[ there seems to be more to that, given the expression she makes on her face but she.

she doesn't say anything more on it. ]

[darkremnants]

[ aiming floatie towards her. jaws theme.

time to crash into her. ]

[dereban]

[ just stares at the floatie.

jiiiii. ]

[darkova]

What we need is a show.

[wtf are you talking about ingway?]

[prayerwheel]

...a show?

[dereban]

You're going to have to elaborate a little more on that.

[ she

thinks she has an idea on what he's talking about but... ]

[overconfidant]

You're absolutely right.

[Well, Akira seems to know what he's talking about.]

Probably more than one, really.

[He grins a little. It's been a while since he said-]

It's showtime~

[darkremnants]

Going to live up to your dreams of becoming the Looney Toons Frog?

[oceanicbutterfly]

A show, huh...

[She definitely sounds like she understands. She... sort of does?]

[prayerwheel]

[ Azura doesn't say anything, but she gives all of this a solemn nod. She's been talking to him less and less in public, so she hopes that will help a bit. ]

[iblistriggered]

So... what do you think we should do? How should we be treating him then? In front of the cameras that is.

[darkremnants]

Don't do any abrupt changes, but start treating him like the host instead of a friend.

[iblistriggered]

Mm, well. I'm not super close to him like some people. [is he making a jab at Vanitas? Judging by the transient shit eating grin...] Shouldn't be a problem.

[scarsnstripes]

[Atsushi's clinging to a random pool floatie, looking a little down.]

I probably should have refused that sleepover offer, huh...?

[He'd been excited and relieved, because if the Foundation really wanted there was nothing stopping them from doing whatever they liked to make the tiger happen. And that would have tanked the public opinion of them all, showing a real monster attacking people.]

...I've been trying to keep to the act that he's 'Dazai'. No one will believe his cover if I start reacting to him badly in view of cameras, I think. But he's been too kind on Camera... I'm not sure how to help fix that.

[dereban]

. . . I have an idea that could work.

"His kindness was all a facade in order to trick everyone into being nice to him while he was basically manipulating us all."

Something like that, maybe? He'd have to do something really terrible to make that happen.

[darkremnants]

[ He did tell him to think of other options before.

Honestly, he's split on how he feels about this. So he'll breathe out loudly before he continues kicking to nyoom the floatie around the pool. ]

The sleepover wasn't the issue. Like you said, it's his reaction.

[ It is hard cause Atsushi is loyal to Dozai but Doezai likes making people happy. ]

You can fix that by asking less of him.

[dereban]

I don't really want to suggest this as a worst case scenario, but I think I should bring it up regardless.

If he can't handle it. . . would it be possible for someone to make me switch places with him?

[ just going to throw that out there. ]

I might be able to pull off pretending to be Dazai than most people, and he might have it easier being 'me'.

[darkremnants]

[ ... looks at her boobs. ]

[darkova]

...?!

I mean... in theory the alteration I did for the cat potion may work with humans?

Herding those Cats

[darkremnants]

Alright, so we have a possible murder that we're tabling for now...

[ Just going to count with each finger. ]

...doing an argument to explain the Host is being nice as a way to manipulate others, asking the host or someone that looks like the host to beat up someone, ask for rule breakers to be forced to participate in the death game, or ask for him to change the rules to force someone else to execute others.

Keep in mind, we have time to brain this all out. We should probably wait and see how tomorrow and my talk with the host goes.

Am I missing anything?

[failsaw]

Who the fuck are you going to force to execute people? If you're gonna set that kinda shit up, you need to figure out who's gonna take that fall.
