( HUNTERS - WEEK 2 )


For this week, there will be no sudden loss of control for those who have signed their souls away for the greater good. As long as they're in the Curio Shop by 6:05 PM on Monday, nothing out of the ordinary will happen. All they must do is knock on the shop's door, carefully as if to not draw attention towards themselves, and the door will creak open by itself much like the previous week.

As per usual, inside this strange room they'll find Craftly seated at a round table. Shelves of antiques line the walls and the smell of peppermint tea wafts through the air. A thin tendril slips across the table from Craftly's sleeve, hooking around his cup of tea. As smug as ever, he smiles to the group.

"Come in, Hunters. It's time for us to begin".



Welcome, Hunters! As of this week, you'll get the chance to either investigate one other character or arm them with a randomized weapon. If you have any questions, you can shoot us a quick PP or PM as always!

Dipper and Jake feel the same way.

[ he taps a finger against the table. ]

Jake's the Carpenter, by the way. He told me because he knew that since he's here with people from back home, they would be more suspicious in terms of starting an alliance so early. He didn't even ask me to reveal my own to him.
thawedheart: (i worry because you're dumb)

The Carpenter...?

[Yukina thinks back to the menu, trying to recall what that role did. She doesn't remember exactly, but...]

That was a weapon role... right?

[But... alliances.]

And, speaking of people grouping up... have either of you... been approached by anyone yet?

[lifts his head slightly to nod at Yukina]

It is. Although it'd be pretty dumb of him to use that nailgun to kill someone now.

[sine. they'd all know it was him if someone showed up with nails in their corpse]

I've been approached by Andersen and Kaiba for alliances. I even got a code name for one of 'em. [that code name bit is said lightly] What about you two?
ninjay: (my white flag willingly.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-05-30 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
Light, Dipper, and Jake. Possibly Chie? I'm on the fence of how useful she'll actually be.

[ jay that's mean. ]

Although Light is more of a trial basis alliance at this point, we're both still feeling each other out.
thawedheart: (well that was HIGHLY unexpected)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-05-30 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
...

[er]

Kaiba-san, Light-san and I have an alliance with each other.

[Did they two-time her? They did, didn't they? Then again, she kind of two-timed them, too.]

[personal profile] nowyouseeit 2017-05-30 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
[EVERYONE??? IS TWO-TIMING EACH OTHER???]

I still don't know how I feel about Light. [though he isn't sure if it's still the way he tried to explain away "murder" on his profile, the fact that he's a detective, or something else]

But Dipper, Jake 'n Andersen don't seem like Prophets to me. Neither does Dave. Ah-- which, even though we don't have an official alliances, we're still sharing information and stuff with each other.

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-05-30 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know Anderson very well, but I can definitely confirm that I don't think Dipper and Jake are Prophets. Granted, we won't know for sure until we check them, but...

[ listen. if jake ends up being a prophet then he is literally the best actor jay has ever met in his life. ]

I'm still on the fence about Light. However, I do understand why he's so defensive. I'm pretty sure the only reason he was voted as executioner is because of his profile. It's going to be infinitely much harder for people like him or me to get others to not point fingers at us because of that.

[ he tilts his head, looking between the both of them. ]

I'm actually surprised neither of you have asked me to explain mine.
thawedheart: (i won't be able to use this after week 2)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-05-30 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
...I like Light-san. He's... kind.

[She thinks a lot of the people here are kind, though, so that's. Definitely going to come back to bite her at some point. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when.]

And I think those profiles have always been meant to make us doubt each other. There's some truth to them, but... I've been friends with people who have killed before. Being skilled at killing doesn't make you a bad person. I prefer to make up my own mind after I get to know people.

[She smiles at Jay.]

And, I trust you. We're allies, after all.

[personal profile] nowyouseeit 2017-05-30 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
. . . yeah. What Yukina said.

[directed at Jay]

We're on the same side, here. We can't go around doubting each other. My focus is to get people outta here alive.

[I mean, he might have felt different about Jay if they weren't all Hunters, but. . .]

We probably need to start talking about who we wanna check this week. I imagine we've got no reason to arm anyone yet.
ninjay: (alive.)

[ while he has been calm throughout the conversation (aside from when he got tentacled, in which case he looked completely traumatized after), at their comments his eyes flickers very quickly between the two, his expression confused.

when kaito redirects the conversation to their jobs though, his averts his gaze from then and looks at the pliers instead. ]


Who do the two of you think we should investigate then?
thawedheart: (did no one tell her curiosity's a killer)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-05-30 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
I think...

[Yukina lets her voice trails off as she considers it.]

Probably... either Kaiba-san or Light-san. I don't distrust them, exactly, but I think it's... significant, that there's some overlap. And if we hadn't been talking with each other, we wouldn't have known about it.

[She hesitates.]

They're either... that adamant about catching killers and surviving this, in which case they might be strong allies, or they're... up to something, in which case we'll need to be careful around them. Checking one of them might help us figure that out.

[considers her suggestions for a moment, fingers drumming against the table]

. . . yeah. I think that's a good idea. I was gonna suggest Dave, just because-- [hesitation] Because I absolutely think he'll be on our side, no matter what, and I don't want my faith in him to be displaced.

[Dave had talked just like he had, after all. talked about getting everyone out alive, about how three people surviving just wasn't enough. he hates thinking about his roommate like this after some of the conversations they've shared, but. . .]

But that's mostly for my own piece of mind over anything else. S'probably smarter to check the people we're suspicious of, not the ones we aren't.

So out of those two, I'd pick Light.
ninjay: (sleep on it one more night.)

[personal profile] ninjay 2017-05-30 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ he nods his head. ]

I do think we should check Dave eventually, especially since like we stated last meeting, we all sort of agreed to share information with them. It's better to be safe than sorry. But for now... yes, let's go with Light.

[ look he's the obvious choice between the two. ]
thawedheart: (don't fuck with me)

[personal profile] thawedheart 2017-05-30 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[She nods, and gives the pliers a dubious look before... heading over there to cast her vote.

She isn't looking forward to this. She just hopes it will be worth it.]

[lifts his head from the table (with protest-- his wince is obvious) and pushes himself up to follow her]

[ jay watches them go, sighs, and then follows. this is going to be a Bad Time. ]
