Starter Post - Fall 2015

[All characters wake up alone from their latest sleep, or maybe from something a little deeper than that, or maybe just from a particularly spaced out moment. They're in one of the five bedrooms of an unfamiliar house with a piece of lined notebook paper in hand on which the house map is drawn on one side and the following typed on the other:]


Just so you know, you're not alone and one of you is a murderer. You might not want to focus too much on the method to find the murderer.

It's not like there won't be any clues. But it won't be finger prints or a weapon. Nothing useful as that. That wouldn't be fun. You're not a forensic scientist. The clue will make about as much sense as how you got here does.


But the killer will be weird, compulsively, couldn't be normal if they tried. That's because murderers are freaks. Today is Friday; on Saturdays, everyone should get together and write a name on the bulletin board out there. If more than half the people here agree on someone, that someone will go home. Yay. Once they're sent everybody will go home! Everyone who's still alive, anyway.

By the way, you, I borrowed your notebook. Hope that you don't mind. I needed paper for all their notes; try not to scare them too much when they see you. Hope they are not speciesist.

[The bedroom the character wakes up in is player's-choice. They will be alone in there; even if other characters wake up in the same room, it will be at another time.

Also in each room is a computer turned on with an intranet forum loaded up. There's a register button that requires filling in a user name and making up a password. In the user name field your character's full name is entered, but they can change that and register under another name if they like.

Once registered, characters will have an e-mail address and can exchange e-mails on the intranet.

The internet doesn't work if the character tries to go to an outside site. Intranet only. Same for any cell phone they may have on them; no service.

Despite the computer being set up and the website loaded on the computer in the Master Bedroom, it will not post or register from there as there is no connectivity in that room. The character will have to find another computer to register and browse.

Each computer has a microphone and a web cam for audio or video input as well as serving as a digital camera that can be unhooked from the computer and charged by USB. The forums will take audio and video posts or replies as well as text posts. Images can be uploaded to the intranet freely.


Do not respond to this post. Make your own posts of characters posting, wandering about doing things, etc. in this community. If they leave something behind, take something or change something, note it in the setting post. Thanks!]

Great Room, Laundry Room

[Mikami would like to think that, at worst, he looks like a businessman on business in an unfamiliar part of town holding a map in hand and referencing it against everything he sees. Maybe at best he'd look like a building inspector, checking that everything were up to code. He does have a blank, serious-by-default expression in place as he steps out from the south bedroom hallway with that introductory piece of paper in hand. Shame the baggy, pukey-sea foam green Japanese prison outfit kind of dashes either of those images and just makes him look like a particularly leisurely burglar.

That his first destination is that south east corner to stare up at the camera the map says is in place--yup, that's a camera all right--really doesn't help with that.

Eventually, if he gets through peering at the camera without being deferred, his goal will be the laundry room to check on that obviously suspicious blue door on the map.

As soon as he sees the clothing in that laundry room, he'll be changing on the spot out of that prison uniform and into the suit hanging there--his suit, damn it. In his defense, Mikami never was a fan of sit-coms and hasn't watched anime since his age hit the double digits, so the potential for any of those supposed others mentioned in the letter walking in on such a thing hasn't crossed his mind.

He also thinks nothing of nabbing Light's second outfit to bring with him after changing. It's about his size.

....Hell, beggars can't be choosers, he'll take L's too.]
