The Murder Game: Day 003
[you drift in and out of consciousness, so damn tired, but not willing to entirely succumb to the allure of sleep.
you fear what will happen if you close your eyes too long.
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the ---- my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I ask the ---- my soul to take…
the words dance on the forefront of your mind, old childhood fears prowling under the surface starting to awaken. yet this nothing like your childhood; the things lurking in the darkness cannot be banished by the flicking of a light switch. they can hurt you in ways you cannot even begin to imagine. though the smallest inkling you do have…
--so much blood coalescing on the ground, mingling with tangled blond and brown hair, staining them mercilessly but what did such petty things matter now that they were dead.dead.dead--
well. it only serves to terrify you more.
but there's nothing you can do now. all you can do
is wait.
and wait
and wait
you ponder the gruesome history behind the stains in your room
and still you wait
and wait
and wait. . .
eventually, you hear the resounding noise you have come to associate with all the doors on the first floors unlocking. you take no time to clumsily put your stiff muscles to good use and stumble out of your room, your just as drowsy partner in tow. both of you are eager to get out of the enclosed space with the haunting past.
and...well, you're starting to think that being there too long is starting to affect you in worrisome ways. but you don't tell your partner that.
you both have more pressing matters at hand anyway.
but for now, you see others exiting their rooms, just as anxious to be out. you offer a few a curt nods and perhaps a halfhearted smile or two, yet you can't seem to manage anything more. the thought that will you have a hand in killing two of these people today - wolves or rabbits - severely dampens any sort of cheer you have at seeing the others.
wandering further into the common room, you belatedly realise that something has changed - a big something actually. in the dead center of the room there is a black booth.
the part of you desperately trying to make light of this horrible situation at once suggests a 'Port-O-Potty' and the other more serious sides of you reluctantly agree. it really does look like a twisted imitation of a portable toilet, complete with an OCCUPIED/UNOCCUPIED signboard. yet you still can't bring yourself to snicker at the image when you known what its presence means.
inside, if you dare to look, consists of ten pairs of pictures - yourself and your fellow players. under each pair is a scanner. you suppose right when figuring out that you're meant to use your barcode to choose whom you think is the wolf. the thought settles uneasily in your stomach and you struggle to contain the bile that's starting to rise.
today you would either condemn innocents to an irreversible fate or beat the wolves at their own game. your first blood, so to speak.
either way, tonight someone else would die.
and it could very well be you.]
ACCUSATION POLL #1
Poll Murder Game Accusation Poll #1
So. The time has come to vote. Along with that, this post is meant for accusations, pleading your case, further discussion of clues, talking about how you voted, making alliances, pondering on the results, potentially saying your last goodbyes, what have you. You can vote whenever you want, but it may prove wise (alternatively, it also might be detrimental) to listen to or engage with your fellow players before casting your vote. This post will only be open from 8:00 AM (PST) to 8:00 PM (PST) so try as hard as you can to vote during that time range.
The voting booth, to let you know, conceals the voter from view and is completely soundproof. There's no video camera, so your vote is really only known to you. Whether or not you share your vote (truthfully or otherwise) is completely up to you. Also one person is able to go in at a time, and there's no chance of breaking into the booth from the outside.
This will be a blind ballot, of course. So you can't see the results and use that to your advantage, sorry.
Also, it should be obvious now, please put down the PAIR you think are the wolves. The pairs in question MUST be partners.
Lastly, EVERYONE votes. That means wolves too. Please keep that in mind.
With that said, happy voting~
