Week 0

[productions]

Who: Designated Killers and Mastermind
What: Assignments
When: Early Morning, Sunday

[Early this morning, several guests will be awoken before 6 AM by a loud alarm ringing in their room. Lying on their desk will be a telegram, signed The Producer, instructing them to go immediately to the billiards room.

Once they arrive at the billiards room, they will find the door in the back open. They will then be able to proceed into the smoking room, where others await.]

Comments

[speakveryclearly]

Oh, uh, weaknesses-- [Hadn't thought about that.] Like I told you before, my own album entry is accurate to the letter. I can handle a lot physically and can move very quickly. For weaknesses, though...

Fire would be the best way to kill me, as it so happens.

[souredsweet]

[K....ANAYA...]

I was referring to weaknesses that might make committing or covering a murder more difficult. The inability to carry or dispose of a body, for example. [Kaoru's brow creases just a little.] ...You're fortunate that isn't written down on your page, and more fortunate still that burning is a very messy and obvious way to kill a person. I doubt you would have to worry about such a thing happening to you.

[speakveryclearly]

That's a... reassuring analysis... [Whew]

S-so-oh, uh... well, on that front... I have never had to cover up a murder before in spite of my committal experience. And humans have told me before I'm a terrible liar.

[Singing like a canary here right now after all]

[souredsweet]

[a nod like "why yes, it is reassuring isn't it!!".]

Covering up a murder is something I have little experience with, as well. ["little"... Kaoru's circumstances are actually quite close to Kanaya in that there's never been a need for cover up.]

But I may be able to cover for your other weakness, at least.

[speakveryclearly]

That's promising... In fact, with our establishment of acquaintance before... [...being in... the DK group... together] this... [yeah...] we could even perhaps provide one another with an alibi.

[souredsweet]

[eloquently put...]

I would be willing to do that. I suppose it was fortunate that we met each other much earlier than today, yes?

[speakveryclearly]

Yeah. That's a positive way of thinking about it.

[souredsweet]

There is little else we can do but think "positively" about this situation. We have much to gain, at least... [and much to lose, which goes unsaid.]

[speakveryclearly]

There's nowhere to go but the finish line.

[Even though they hadn't gotten on their marks an hour ago.]
