READ ALL OF THIS I'm sure you all got tired waiting. It's been 6 weeks which is 1000 weeks in witch time. Your patience of over 19 witch years has given birth to my third gameboard. Behold! I give you my third gameboard! The rules shall follow as such: -Red Truth is absolute, but shall be reserved so as to keep things interesting -Blue shall be the weapon of the detective in order to lay down his theories. Please use this only as necessary, as the battle is not meant to be red vs. blue -Green is the color used to dictate the movement of your piece. You are a mortal detective, and must use reason and prior knowledge to solve the mystery. As such, please do not have your character know anything more than they could have, ie meta gaming. This also means you must not use the any source for knowledge other than what you know now (do not google information on how to make a bomb). -The detectives have been given the power to twice deny the entrance of other detectives to an area (use it as you wish) -Your reason for being on the island is as a friend of Krauss's, simply invited over as a guest. -I revoke the detective's authority. -I revoke searches that do not follow logical thought. -I revoke the idea of preemptively gathering materials. Finally, None of the detectives I know in real life (my brother Alice as well as my friends Lurker and Ooishi) are in any way related to the crime. I have not told them anything more than you know
You have arrived on the island. It is October 4th, and as you get off the boat you look around. Welcome to the island of Rokkenjima. You are led up past the rose garden and to the mansion. Everyone, you may begin now.
>>1483 No shoot wait I think it's the 4th (gets days mixed up). Either way, I'm sure everyone else knows what I mean
I look around to check the people and who got off the boat
Ill be joining in on this game. im new but im just letting you know im in on this too.
>>1485 When you got off on the boat you were met by Shannon. The people who got off the boat were all of the guests (detectives). It seems you were on the last boat to Rokkenjima for the day, and everyone else has already made it here >>1486 A new person? Very well.
After dinner, the guests spend their time on Rokkenjima talking to everyone else, drinking tea, and discussing business. Night comes, the guests go off to their rooms and sleep Morning comes, as it must. The guests are awoken by the servants for breakfast. As you sit down, you are greeted by an English breakfast good enough to make Poirot proud.
"The weather seems nice today." I look around at the table to see who exactly is here this morning.
>>1490 Krauss, Natsuhi, Eva, Hideyoshi, Jessica, George, Genji (not eating of course), Shannon, and Kumasawa, and Nanjo
".....Hey Krauss, can I talk with you alone? It's regarding the letter you sent me."
>>1492 I can't really control him, bud. Perhaps you can discuss this made up stuff later
>>1493 >Wants me to play a game, didn't give me any letter to begin and I'm left to wing it.
>>1494 Where are all the other detectives? You just need a reason to speak with him alone?
>>1495 Who knows? You pretty much rushed the beginning without even giving us time to introduce ourselves or anything, no background was given, no nothing. Just thrown straight onto the island for an aimless reason none of us know of. How do some of us know Krauss? Why would Krauss know us? Why would Krauss invite an eighteen year old kid over? Etcetera.
>>1496 That's for you to find out, bud. Do as you must.
Thinks about where the other people who are currently missing at the table are.
>>1497 That's not how a story flows together. You can't just expect random people going to an island on some stranger's request for no reason at all. I know for one I wouldn't unless given a real valid reason, but because I wasn't given one how am I suppose to react to this situation? Am I to assume I was clobbered over the head and kidnapped to the island? That's pretty much how the situation looks to me right now.
>>1499 As you must. But there is a legitimate reason for that. There is a mystery to be solved.
I eat my food.
>>1500 There's no mystery if there is no story. I'm not going to play a guessing game of "Guess my entire story and you get to know what it's about!". I wasn't given any golden ticket.
>Leans back into my chair enjoying the scenery of the room and the beautiful breakfast display before me.
>>1502 *sigh* If you search, I'm sure your mystery is easy to find.
>>1504 I reach into my pocket and feel around for what's inside.
(Protip: I carry a lighter, a journal, and a pen on me at all times. I don't even smoke)
>>1505 Your daily inventory is mine minus an Iphone and a hand wound pocket watch... Ya, you can have those 3 items.
I eat Kinjo's food.
>>1508 A meal is sacred But go ahead if he'll share
>>1507 (You're lucky I don't have my CCL yet)
>>1510 CCL? I'm afraid I don't know what you're referring to.
>>1511 (Carry and conceal license. I'd have to wait till I'm 21. Now where's that letter?)
>>1508 anon will eat my food.
>>1512 What letter? >>1513 K...
"Uh...everyone, this has been rather awkward the last few minutes, so I feel like we might as well introduce our self's. My name is Ozaki."
>>1514 (Obviously the one I was given as an invitation to the island, what, I wasn't given one?)
...anon will spoon-feed Kinjowith a silver spoon, check Krauss food is not over-poisoned.
>>1516 The reason for being here isn't as important as the fact that you are here. I believe you could have been invited via telephone. >>1517 I don't see why, but sure, why not.
>>1518 Ah, but it is for me. I would at least like to know why I'd be inclined to come to a remote island away from civilization.
>>1519 There are things besides why that need to be solved by you.
>>1515 "Hi I'm Kinj-" >>1517 I push the spoon away from me. "What are you doing?! D-don't you dare spoon feed me!" I will force anon to eat my food.
>>1520 "No comment". I will get up from my chair, having less than half of my plate been eaten. I'll turn toward the door and start for it.
>>1521 K... we're just roleplaying here... Let's get on topic
>>1522 K, where ya headed?
>>1524 Not a clue. Not knowing the layout of the mansion, I proceed in a completely random direction, entering the third door I see.
>>1525 It's a guest room. Might as well have been yours since your rooms on in the mansion (1st floor)
>>1526 I look at my bed.
>>1527 It's a bed, you slept in it last night, alone. You remade it this morning (as a good guest). Looking for something?
"I guess this isn't going anywhere." Takes a coin out of my pocket and starts to flip it. To use Meta's idea, the thing I tend to have the most in my pocket is usually only carry a coin(Canadian silver dollar to be precise).
>>1528 >Implying I would make my bed, hell no. "Why is my bed made?" I walk over to my bed, I push the pillows onto the ground and rip the blankets and sheets off the bed. I roll them around my arm and toss them back. "That's more like it, though for some strange reason I'm not even sure why I'm here. Must be having memory problems. Ah, oh well. Must be a reason for it." I turn around and exit my room, making sure to close the door good enough to hear a 'click'. I then proceed further down the hall assuming all the rooms near mine would be carbon copies. I turn down the hall via a left and head for the second door I see.
>>1529 Sure, you can have the coin.
>>1530 The only thing down the hall to the left is the stairs to the basement (boiler room).
(Yeah im carrying a pocket watch and a small box containing a pin for sewing)
>>1533 If that is what you carry on you normally, that is fine.
It's that so!? ... "If you excuse me, I feel like taking a morning walk." I stand up ignoring Kinjo's order, and go outside of the mansion. Make me walk around the mansion, visiting the chapel, the garden and the garden storage.
>>1532 I head down toward the basement and look around. (You're the second person to ask me that, so I'll just spoiler and copy-paste) Because I don't use pillows, but technically that isn't true. The pillow I use doesn't have any feathers in it. The reason for this is, I've had this pillow since I was 4. It's about as thick as a slim blanket. So I put my arm under my head. Because of this if I want to sleep without a pillow I just use the blanket and my arm.
After I eat i go to the garden to have a pleasant stroll, as i walked through the garden i notice some butterflies, but one seemed very different like it was shining. I really don't take notice.
>>1535 Denying searching the chapel and the garden storage because no reason to. Searching around the mansion reveals its a big mansion. The garden is pretty.
>>1537 Dictate what you are doing, not what is going on around you. The stroll is fine, the butterflies, eh w/e
>>1536 There appears to be a boiler that is working and hot. Nothing else down there.
>>1540 "What am I even doing here?" I turn around and walk back upstairs, I'm not sure what I should be doing though, so I lean against a wall and look around. Maybe someone will walk by and start a conversation....Like that cute blond girl.
after my stroll I go and talk politics with Rudolf.
>>1541 Is there anything important missing?
>>1542 You better find him, he wasn't at breakfast.
>>1543 Yeah, my reason for being there.
After checking the result of the coin I stand up to leave. I travel around trying to find the main entrance we first entered from.
>>1546 The main entrance, of course. What about it?
Gets up from the table and asks to be excused so that i can use the washroom and wash up. I bow and leave the room to head towards the nearest washroom i find
>>1548 You have a guest room on the first floor. You go there and to it's rest room.
>>1547 I look around to see what I see of course
>>1547 I don't roleplay so I can't do anything unless I can compare it as to how I'd act in the same situation. No story=no memory=no reason to do anything. And so I'll continue to lean against the wall thinking and waiting.
>>1550 What you see? You see a door, and a few walls, and a ceiling, and a floor.
>>1551 You better not meta game (know something your character doesn't because you read the other people's posts). Anything else is fine.
"Well, I'm bored." I randomly walk into the hallway and find Meta standing there doing nothing. I walk by and start a conversation with him. "Hello Meta. What are you doing standing all alone over here?"
>>1553 But I'm Meta.
>>1555 *prepares trigger*
but it kept bugging me that were people missing at breakfast... i was kind of unsettled so i went to the kitchen to get some coffee so i can think straight
>>1554 "Huh? I think you got me mistaken for someone else." I look at the stranger and look back down the hall.
>>1557 You find Kumasawa cleaning up from dinner. She says she will make coffee for you.
"Where is everyone? The fact that all the detectives have gone off on there own is odd" Time to try somewhere else. Leaves the main entrance and decides to head back my room.
i sit down in a chair in the dinning awaiting my coffee.. i start think where they might have gone to
>>1561 Kumasawa comes in and hands you the coffee. She offers you mackerel with it, if you would like.
I walk past the stranger and roam around for a bit, I'm hoping to find someone who works there or at least someone who isn't any of the guests like myself.
but i politely decline her offer, and proceed to ask her if she knew where anybody was.
>>1563 The Ushiromiyas present at breakfast are all in the parlor, discussing their business ventures. Jessica and George must be somewhere with Shannon playing cards or something.
>>1560 After being rejected ignored, I decide to go back to my room and think for a bit.
>>1565 After walking around a bit, I hear talking from within one of the rooms, I fling open the door to reveal the parlor room! I look at the adults to see what their reactions are to my brazen entrance.
>>1566 Go on a search if you must. Check rooms if you want.
so i decide to go the guesthouse to see the cousins and see if they have seen the missing people after breakfast.
>>1567 Do you yell anything in the process?
>>1569 The what? >>1567 They take notice of you and ask how your stay here has been so far. Krauss then mentions that he wants you to spend tonight in the soon-to-be-finished hotel.
Once inside my room I looked around to find my bag, inside I grabbed my pocket watch. After I go to the second floor to see if anyone is there and the number of rooms/doors.
>>1571 Ta...Tadaima?
>>1573 Nobody in plain sight
>>1572 "It's going fine I suppose, everything seems so extravagant and stuff...Question, do you guys happen to have a library someplace?"
Seeing nothing of interest I head to the next floor in search of the same thing.
>>1576 Natsuhi states that Kinzo has a library in his study, but that is off-limits. There isn't any other library per se.
>>1577 Not much here.
>>1578 I look at Krauss and wonder why he wants me to stay in a hotel. But I disregard the thought and comply. I turn my head toward Natsuhi. "Hm, it's off limits huh?...."
I leave my room and follow the sounds of chatter in the parlor. I open the door and walk in quietly to hear a couple of the conservations taking place inside.
>>1580 "Father has taken to being a recluse earlier this year."
I go to the kitchen and look for a bag of onions, and take them.
i tell the cousins that i have enjoyed my stay, being surprised by kraus, i continue to tell me about this hotel he is building
>>1582 "A recluse? That's terrible, with a beautiful woman like you around I'd never want to go back to my study!"
>>1583 You don't want the bag of potato chips instead?
Checks the waiting room and looks around, then tries to open the study door. Knocks if the door is locked afterwards.
>>1581 You are noticed (can't avoid that), and they ask the same thing (how is your stay so far, and you should stay in the soon to be finished hotel tonight) >>1583 Kumasawa catches you and you end up having to take mackerels instead. >>1584 "It's on the other side of the rose garden, and is amazing. There will be a bar on the main floor, all sorts of rooms including very large suites and such."
>>1587 A voice shouts back demanding to be left alone.
>>1585
once again i ask kraus if he has seen the missing people.
>>1591 What missing people?
>>1590
Having no reason not to i decided to except this offer and agree to staying in the hotel tonight.
>>1589 "Ah...sorry I was simply trying to find a place to quell my boredom. You wouldn't know any place around the mansion to do so would you?"
>>1594 "Sounds good! I'll stay in a room there tonight too then. There are plenty of rooms and I would like everyone to spend a night there."
surprised by kraus' answer it struck me that he wasn't at the table because he was taking to meta battler at the time!
Continuing my charm, I direct my next question at Natsuhi. "So love, mind showing me where this Kinzo's study is?"
>>1595 It must have been that the voice was unrecognized. An old man burst through the door from inside to see you. "A guest of Krauss's? You had better leave me alone."
>>1597 I don't follow what you're saying... >>1598 She says Father would not be happy to see any visitors.
>>1600 "Eh? Really? I bet I can make him reconsider."
>>1492 that is what im referring to. unless im mistaken
>>1601 She refuses to take you. It would seem nothing would change that.
>>1602 I denied the action because it was not necessary at the time. Plus Meta made up getting a letter.
Leaves the parlor and goes in search for a servant to ask for a cup of tea because I'm starting to become thirsty.
>>1599 "Again, Sorry. I'll leave you, oh before I go My name is Ozaki. Could I assume your the head of the family?"
>>1603 "E-eh? Okay then..." I leave the parlor room and roam around until I eventually find something that'll resemble a study door.
I leave the kitchen, standing outside the door, mackerel in hand.
>>1605 Kumasawa is still in the kitchen. Making easy things like tea and coffee are much preferred to her over helping Genji or Shannon do rounds.
>>1606 Of course, and judging by your clothes you are in the medical profession?
>>1607 You search and search, going up floors, etc. You finally reach the third floor, where you find Ozaki speaking with an old man. >>1608 That best not be a weapon...
heads to the kitchen and meets kumasawa and requests tea. Receives a cup of black tea from her and goes to my room to check on my things.
so i proceed to tell kraus that there were people missing at breakfast
>>1612 K, but your character will be moved to the hotel before sleeping. I won't kill you while you are gone >>1613 Who is missing? Show proof or its conjecture.
Good night, all. All actions shall be postponed for now.
>>1491 it seems there are six people missing from this list, kyrie, rudolf,maria and rosa and also gohda.
whoops and kannon
>>1482 >>1615 Gee thanks for telling me promptly that the gameboard is happening =.= I just found out pretty much right now.
>>1618 Next time, go check /teaparty/ where all recent chat-like posting resides.
hi Second thread https://archive.seacats.net/gameboard/res/1620.html
