10 PM Meeting - Laundry Room

[eraser_rain]

[As your character may know if they'd been watching the network thread, Mikami and Light have plans to meet at 10PM in the laundry room. Mikami will end up being about 10 minutes late.]



[OOC: Intended multi-player thread. Feel free to jump in early and run threads until someone interrupts, feel free to interrupt the thread whenever your character does arrive. Since this game tends to move slowly and we're beta, consider going out of turn if appropriate (interruptiong, etc.) as we try to feel this group process out.]

The potential to be caught should stop them. The killer must also have circumstances. Probably, laid out in a separate communication. One that is five paragraphs long. Otherwise, we could all be killed at once as soon as our names are known with this paper.

[andeatit]

No one knows your name. I can't assure anyone else has given their real name. With copies of the note, there's no reason to let everyone to hold onto a potentially murderous weapon.

[takethecake]

I will agree if another communication from our captors is presented. If that happens, there will be no further argument. Shall we do as much first, then? If one isn't presented, we can discuss this further.

[eraser_rain]

If someone's given the privacy to get any other note--which may not even exist--then they'll have the opportunity to replicate their note and only destroy that fake one.

[takethecake]

Down to the type of paper, without taking enough time to be noticed?

[eraser_rain]

There are notebooks in the office. Likely with the same ruling. It'd be simple enough to print it out, if you can align the copied lines with the notebook's lines.

[andeatit]

Destroying as many of these sheets of paper as possible is the safest option. Keeping them won't take away a possible second sheet, but it will remove the first.

[eraser_rain]

No objections.

[takethecake]

As long as the other note turns up.

[andeatit]

A note we're not sure exists? It's not your life you're willing to gamble, but the rest of ours.

[takethecake]

We can argue about this once the note fails to show up.

[andeatit]

That would still require us to each leave with a deadly weapon. Destroying these should be priority.

[takethecake]

A deadly weapon that, if used, would be noticed immediately and the culprit known.

[eraser_rain]

Each of us can leave our note here with the Shinigami until our return.

[andeatit]

We've created an atmosphere in which a Shinigami is the most trusted among us. But, I'm fine with that much.

[eraser_rain]

If you can call it that. He has ample paper if he wants to kill us through that method, and he cannot be overpowered for these. [He reaches into his pocket and holds out his map and letter to Ryuk.]


Then, I'll head first to set an envelope.

[inthecolosseum]

[The shinigami's grin is invariably unwholesome, but he accepts the papers amicably.]

This is an interesting situation.
Juicy.

[andeatit]

Then, when he returns, I'll go next.

[eraser_rain]

[And Mikami's out. He'll either come back in a few posts or everyone can put in that they're quiet for the next 5 minutes.

Mod note: if your character decides to put anything in their envelope, when the characters check it (it can even just be "Apples rock" if your character wants to put something random in), post any contents in an anonymous/logged-out comment.

We can either wait 24 hours after the post checking envelopes and if nothing is posted assume all are empty, or everyone can PM sheep_dog that you don't have anything to post and if they have a PM from everyone they'll let me know we can move the thread on.

I'm assuming Haneoka-player is out of the game at this point so please hand-wave as much as possible regarding her.]

[In the brief silence that follows, a faint sweet-ish aroma diffuses around the room. The source is Atsushi, who is holding a self-rolled blunt that looks suspiciously like it's made out of note paper.]

[takethecake]

[A sucking noise as L enjoys the candy Mikami didn't want helps fill that sweet-smelly silence.]

[andeatit]

[Somebody save him.]

What paper is that made from?

[airlynx]

[Atsushi takes an extra-nice drag and then exhales loudly, drowning out L's candy-eating noises.]

Eh, this? This is that paper with the damn map on it.

[andeatit]

That's the notes we've been discussing. If you could put it out, there's more paper around the house.

[airlynx]

After I've taken fuckin' forever to roll it? I don' think so. Are ya wantin' one too? I can show ya how to fix it so it doesn't fall apart.
