Designated Killer Meeting - Smoking Room, Sunday Night Week Five

[vytis]

[With all the Halloween festivities beginning to get underway, maybe Yuzu Aihara's corpse doesn't seem that out of place! Or maybe it does, but either way it's in here, of course. The Producer wears his pinstripe suit well, though the tommy gun has been placed to the side for the moment. He doesn't seem concerned about the corpse or the absence of yet another of the designated killers.]

Alright, everyone, I'm sure you know how this works. As for the dispensables this week, if you'd like an item beforehand to use, all you have to do is make it seem like a ghost committed the crime! Good luck!

If you believe that, why were you unable to free her from the room? Are you not the Producer - higher still than the Hostess in rank? You do not need to speak of Miss Aozaki, either; her reasons were not in the ratings.

[Kaoru will leave his question unaddressed for the time being, but it'll come as a surprise to no one that the answer will be "no not really".....]

The rules have to be followed. Everyone here should be especially aware of how important that is, even more than the others playing this game.

[right that SPEAKING OF:]

It is why her execution fell early, correct? Playing by the rules... May I ask one question, then?

[vytis]

Go ahead.

[souredsweet]

Are you the one who has set these rules, or are you simply following them as we are?

[vytis]

[He seems a little surprised at the question, but answers.]

This is my manor and my game, of course.

[Kaoru looks a little uncertain in turn. after a pause:]

...I have two more questions then, if you would indulge me. Why such an attachment to rules that you could rewrite on a whim, and why this game at all? I feel as though I can safely assume we are not the first group to play. Surely there is a reason for it?

[vytis]

That isn't really any of your concern. You should worry more about your incentives.

[souredsweet]

It is a concern, considering I would not need to be competing for such things in the first place if it weren't for you, or this game. [but Kaoru seems to relent after that, going back to a pissy, sulky silence.]
