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.]

[naturally, that is a chance Kaoru is wholly unwilling to take. it doesn't even need to be said aloud.]

I'll hold you accountable if you are lying, but Chizuru's life belongs to no one else. [Kaoru's posture straightens then, shoulders having hunched a little defensively over the course of the video.] If these are your incentives, it seems you've picked well indeed.

[vytis]

We've done our research, of course. It does help streamline the decision-making process.

[souredsweet]

Impressive. [said very flatly.]

Will you indulge me for a moment and answer a few questions, then?

[vytis]

I'll answer to the best of my ability.

[souredsweet]

[a nod.]

To be certain that I understand, each one of us has to commit and get away with a murder in order to achieve our incentives, correct? ...Will there be enough time for all five of us to do so? [Kaoru's main concern, though there's one more question:] Also, does the murder have to be committed by one's own hands in order for it to be considered theirs?

[vytis]

You have to commit and get away with a murder, yes. There should be enough time for each of you. As for the murder itself, whoever commits the murder most directly is considered the true culprit for purpose of our game. You can also have accomplices, but prizes are determined by the number of victims.

[souredsweet]

Is there an upward limit on the number of victims per week? [since it would really be quite nice if they could just get this all done in one week...]

[vytis]

No one can kill more than two people per week--and there can only be one crime every week.

[souredsweet]

Those are the only questions I have for the time being, then.
