( WEEK ONE - HUNTERS )
 At exactly 6:00 PM on Monday night, something very strange will happen to you. Regardless of whatever you were doing or whatever you were planning to do, you will find yourself stopping midway. Numbness spreads from your toes to the top of your head. You feel no control of your body. Thousands of shivers roam up your nerves, controlling your limbs like strings to a limp puppet. You're aware of your body moving - out of the room and into the first floor hallway. It's not until you stop in front of the unmarked room nestled between the Kitchen and Laundry that you regain control of your body. A soft click, and the door creaks open. Inside the room you'll find a small group of people and 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 you. "Come in, Hunter. It's time for us to begin". Welcome, Hunters! As you should have been told by now, you represent the "detective" faction of this game. It's your job to ICly suspect those around you and discover who belongs to the "mafia" faction before it's far too late. For this first mingle (and all others, really), we encourage your characters to get to know each other, shitpost to your heart's content, and share your personal roles. Remember to check the Hunter's Handbook for IC rules and information. We hope you have fun with your role! :) ic rulebook | locations | statuses | room assignments private conversations | ic profiles | graveyard | full navigation hunter's handbook |

If they did know about their role since the beginning then that would definitely make this more difficult for us, since it means they would have been instantly on guard about hiding their identities. Unless they're morons, anyway.
[ please be morons. they're probably not, but one can dream. ]
In the case of Suzaku... would he agree to it for a reward? If there's something you want badly enough, I'm sure killing a few people won't feel like an unfair exchange. It's like a business transaction.
no subject
[said with a note of dryness]
I don't know anything about Suzaku, but I'd want to keep an eye on Velvet Crowe. She was pretty vocal about being willing to kill us all to go home.
no subject
[Maybe she can get him on their side? If nothing else, it might be good to have someone on their side who's willing to kill so that if they don't want to risk their own necks, they can send him out to do their dirty work if they decide on a target.
...Yukina almost immediately feels guilty for thinking that, and she looks down at her lap.]
I don't think I've spoken with her yet. But... if she's been that vocal about it, then... [Yikes.] She might be worth investigating. Or would she be too obvious...? [Gosh, she doesn't know.] We might want to take a look at people who have questionable skills listed on their cards, too... although I've spoken with some of them already, and I think those profiles may be leaving out a lot of important context.
no subject
[ .... yes, yikes at velvet though. ]
We should check her out just to be safe. Sometimes ignoring the obvious choice can bite you later on. [ at the mention of the profiles though, jay actually snorts. ] To be fair, I'm one of the ones with questionable skills listed. So, yes, while I do think we should keep that information in mind because it may help us, we shouldn't be too dependent on them.
no subject
[he is worried about you Yukina :(]
[a nod at Jay this time]
My thoughts exactly, regarding both Velvet and the index cards. I think people's reactions to 'em are more telling than the information itself.
no subject
[It's fine, this is fine. She promises not to end up dead.]
You're right, about their reactions... And I think... [She hesitates. They're not investigating anyone this week, but... if everything that's been told to them is accurate, someone will be dying this week.] We'll need to watch carefully for people's reactions when someone... dies. And, during the trial, as well.
That should give us a pretty good idea of who to start looking at next week, I think.
no subject
[ unless they're a very good actor, but it's still better than nothing. ]
Just keep in mind that any of these people may be a skilled actor. [ ah, he just remembered something. ] What are your roommates like, anyway? We're likely to end up spending a lot of time with those individuals, which will give us a lot of opportunities to watch them.
no subject
[folds his hands on the table]
That said, Dave and Robin-- Jason-- seem pretty trustworthy so far. Especially Dave. We have a standing agreement to meet at least once a week to exchange information.
no subject
Ah... my roommate is Quer-san. She's a little... [Yukina hesitates, then nods to herself.] A little jumpy, but I think I may have startled her when we first met. She's not unkind, at least.
[...but what Kaito says about Dave-]
Eh? ...Dave-san and I have that sort of agreement too... I spoke with him yesterday, in fact.
no subject
[ well, in a lot more informal fashion than actual set meeting times. ]
My roommate is Jake. He's... actually one of the nicest people I've spoken to so far, which means he's either a phenomenal actor, or he truly doesn't want to kill anyone. Still, we shouldn't rule any of them out.
no subject
So in other words, he's good at networking.
[ha]
Having someone like him on our side would also be pretty helpful. And since he agreed to meet with all three of us, we can cross reference the information we get from him to make sure it's accurate.
no subject
I agree. I think he's trustworthy... but this way we can know for sure that he's telling us what he thinks is the truth, rather than what he thinks we'll want to hear.
[Because let's be real, none of them really seem to be the type that would all want the same thing, at first glance.]
...at any rate, when we spoke yesterday, he said that... three people surviving was nowhere near good enough. Even working on his own, I get the impression he wants the same thing we do.
i got busy at work rip
Three survivors out of forty-two is pretty terrible, yes. We can definitely keep an eye on him for information, but remember that he's also a potential suspect.
how dare
[3 OUT OF 42 IS LIKE 7% COME ON THAT IS A FAILING GRADE]
Right. So that's settled. Does anyone else stick out in either of your minds?
quit your job immediately (i'm sorry)
[would someone please stop her from befriending serial killers]
quits job 2 murder fulltime
[ goddamn hypocrite, but whatever. ]
Dipper is one of the small children running around. He's... to be honest, he annoys me, but he's very intent on solving things here. I can't vouch for his capabilities but we should probably keep an eye on him, even if it's just to make sure he doesn't accidentally stab himself.
everyone's dream tbh
Actually. . . I dunno how I feel about that Light guy. His card mentioned "murder" as a skill, and when I asked him about it, the explanation he came up with was pretty unsatisfactory.
[or maybe he's letting his detective biases get the best of him??? WHO KNOWS]
I agree about Dipper, though. He'd probably be a good ally, but I can envision him and his sister getting into a lot of trouble if we don't keep an eye on 'em.
if only, if only
[Maybe... she should...]
It would probably be best if we kept an eye on them in particular, and any of the other especially young children, too. Many of them seem capable, judging by their cards, but... I get the feeling those cards are meant to make us suspicious of each other, not to paint a completely accurate image of what we can and can't do.
[Hence why she still thinks Light "murder" Yagami is chill.]
I wouldn't want any of them to get in over their heads, and be hurt as a result.
no subject
[ he smiles grimly. ]
Normally, I'd like to say that people would be less likely to want to kill the children, but if these Prophets are as bloodthirsty as we've been lead to believe... I doubt that will be the case here.
Between the three of us, we should try to get to know everyone here. The more overlap the better so we can exchange notes more efficiently, but considering there's so many people to go through that probably won't be possible for every single person.
no subject
I planned on talking to Akane, Kurusu, Dave 'n Jason. I could let you guys know what they say, if ya want. It's a start.
no subject
[They will be a trio of social butterflies.]
no subject
[ he means figure out who's suspicious and also who seems like they'd be overall useless to their investigation but he keeps that insulting part to himself, whoops. ]
As for the three of us, we should be seen together to each other in public, but we shouldn't make it obvious that we're seeing each other more than other people are. We should just make it believable enough in case we ever have to defend each other in trials.
no subject
[is now the time for dumb jokes]
More seriously, we should meet each other in public one last time before our excursion next week. That way it won't look weird for us to be exploring together.
no subject
But yes, meeting again in front of other people is a good idea. Luckily, this place is small enough that it won't be difficult to make that happen.
no subject
[ listen they are definitely probably going to do slumber parties at some point, lbr. ]
Is there anything else either of you want to bring up?
