( HUNTERS - WEEK 3 )
 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! ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation hunter's handbook |

we can chalk it up to the paranoia night terror making her more closed-lipped]
...I'm going to be meeting Kaiba-san and Light-san later this evening.
britt beat me to it!!
[also staring at his hands, a scowl on his features, before he answers]
I have a few things to share with you guys, too.
I know Dave and Nagasone's roles, and have an educated guess as to Andersen's.
no subject
[ he sounds impressed. ]
I know Dipper's role, he's the Idealist. Apparently his telescope allows him to see secrets, which was how he found out about the trap door in the dark room.
no subject
[There's a nagging little voice at the back of her mind - if she doesn't share what little she does know (even if it is just a little), they might turn on her.
(She wants to believe they won't, but she can't shake the doubt that they might.)]
I saw to Tsurugi-san's wounds... and even after I bribed him, he said he didn't have anything to do with Hibiki-san's death. If he's really telling the truth about doing anything for money, then I believe him.
no subject
Nagasone is the Sailor. Harpoon gun. I don't know if there are any special conditions attached to his weapon or not.
Dave is the Convict. [and here he grins 'cause he still thinks this is hilarious] He's the one who opened up storage, and then he opened up one of the locked buildings in town. I didn't ask which one.
Andersen may be the Private Investigator. 'M not sure, but if he isn't, then he at least is connected with them. He wants to use the tape recorder to catch a killer in the act.
no subject
jay's blinks in surprise at kaito's reveal though. ]
That would explain what Omega said about Andersen. And... I supposed it'll also explain why Dave was so preoccupied with the missing items from the storage room, since he opened it.
no subject
[She would feel a little better knowing Dave is the Convict any other week - he's not likely to turn on them, after all. But this week, it leaves her a little unsettled.]
And that's... not a bad plan. He'd just need to figure out where to leave it running, right? Because... no one would see it.
no subject
Right, exactly. And. . . for what it's worth, I suggested he put it in the lobby. A central place that a lot of people pass through.
[and hopefully a murderer would have to pass through the lobby to kill someone else?? hopefully. . .]
I don't know how many times he can use the tape until it runs out or breaks or whatever, but if he uses it this week, then it might help us out if someone else dies on Friday.
no subject
[ he looks back down at his hands. ]
When someone else dies on Friday, you mean. I know we're planning on checking Kaiba tonight, but we should probably check Dave next week, unless someone else of higher priority comes along. That could be a very dangerous item he has there.
no subject
[She doesn't have much else to say there.]
Unless either of you think any of the roles you've discovered mean we should check someone else sooner, I think... that makes sense.
no subject
No. I think Kaiba, then Dave, makes sense.
[a beat]
Maybe Kurusu after that.
[Kaito don't be jealous]
no subject
Right. Also, regarding Dipper's role... He said that there are portals in the mirrors of our bedrooms. The mirror in the lobby is one as well. Craftly more or less said that we shouldn't worry about those in terms of the players in this game, which frankly I still find concerning?
no subject
[SHE DOESN'T GET IT. Like. At all. He seems nice, to her?
Not so nice, though, is the mirrors. Her expression contorts in a grimace and she shakes her head.] I don't like the sound of that, either. What would happen if we broke them?
[breaking mirrors is bad luck
don't do it]
no subject
Dave told me he was able to confirm that we're here through, uh. "Dimensional travel." D'you think those mirrors could be related to that?
'Cause if so, maybe they're our ticket outta here.
no subject
I'm not sure, but-- oh! [ he digs through his pocket, pulling out a semi-decent drawn version of this. dipper told him to burn it immediately but jay had to show it to the others first. ]
Apparently they lead to here.
no subject
Wherever... "there" is. [Her brows furrow and she tilts her head to one side.] There has to be... some reason, right? Even if we as... players in the game, aren't meant to use them, they aren't there just for decoration.
no subject
. . . not to mention there's a whole role in this game dedicated to finding secrets like this.
I think those portals are worth investigating, for sure.
no subject
I'll let the two of you know what else he discovers.
[ there's a bit of a pause before he says his next thing. ]
I also think that if we should learn anything between our meetings on Monday and Thursday, we should tell at least one of us what it is. There's always the chance that we might be targeted and killed, and don't want to lose any information that'll help the survivors. Kind of like when Yukina found us all last week.
no subject
[Even if it is just because he wants to make sure the information survives, even if they don't -
But, no, she doesn't want to think like that. No matter how many times she tells herself that Kaito and Jay are trustworthy, though, she can't get rid of that small, nagging doubt.
Yukina sort of hates that she's looking forward to Friday, if only so this will stop.]
I'm meeting with Kaiba-san and Light-san before curfew tonight. If I learn anything important from them, I'll let you two know tomorrow, when we...
[She hesitates.]
...are we still going to check out the library?
no subject
[another nod at Yukina]
And I want to, if you guys are still willing. Tomorrow, right? But before that, uh.
A picture of a cat sitting on a copier appeared in Dave and my room earlier this morning. [SHRUGS???] I'm pretty sure it's related to the Copycat role somehow, but 'm not sure how. And I promised Dave I wouldn't tell anyone else about it-- [a twinge of guilt, a spike of some paranoia of his own, what if Dave finds out I betrayed his trust] -- so. . . be careful with that information.
no subject
[ he is... uncomfortable with giving her one, because of the paranoia, but he ignores it. it'll be better if she's armed.
the mention about the copycat is alarming. ]
... So someone either now has a skeleton key or a gun.
no subject
[What use will a scalpel be against a horrorterror?]
I'd appreciate it, if you... wouldn't mind.
[There's something in her voice that indicates she knows exactly why he might mind.
She bites her lip as she mulls over what the news about the Copycat might mean.]
...I guess we'll just... have to wait and see. If we find out the Copycat's role by what we do here, do you think it would tell us what that person copied?
no subject
[if it helps]
Dave said he had a feeling that even if it was the Copycat, things would be okay. Like. . . I asked him if he knew who the Copycat was, and he wouldn't say if he did or not, but he seemed pretty confident. Y'know?
I trust him.
[he trusts him, but despite that, still hasn't told him about the Hunters. that pang of guilt worsens, and he can't help but wonder, however briefly, if Dave would betray him if he found out what kind of secrets Kaito was keeping]
Unless it comes up during the trial this weekend, it may not be anythin' we've gotta worry about.
no subject
jay... is not as convinced as kaito is, partly because he doesn't know dave as well as him. and partly because it's hard to trust anyone that completely at the moment. or, as "completely" as you can get in a game where you're pitted against one another like this. ]
We'll see then. And Yukina, I'll lend you the knife I got from the kitchen. It'll probably be more comfortable than the cleaver.
[ he... glances back at the bowl and instructional drawing. ]
Shall we vote for Kaiba then?
no subject
...I hope he's right.
[Not that hope accounts for much here.]
And... thank you, Jay-san. I'll take it once we get to the library.
[She doesn't expect him to let her have it early - she wouldn't, if she was him.]
I think... that would be for the best.
