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!

Your rules be damned! I am already so tired... sitting, waiting to die...

[vytis]

Don't just wait to die, then--you've had several trials now to learn from the mistakes of others, and you've had one example of someone getting away with their murder. Don't forget your incentive.

[teenspirit]

Yes. As... as long as I do it, nothing bad will happen, right...

[vytis]

Right. That's what you should focus on.

[teenspirit]

...

And what's going to happen if the others begin suspecting you? You saw Touko... what she tried to do...

[vytis]

[Something ices over in the Producer's expression, though it doesn't seem to be aimed at Sonia.]

If that happens, I'll deal with it. It's nothing you have to concern yourself with.

[teenspirit]

...Had she tried exposing you prior to her execution... what would the punishment have been?

[vytis]

That would expose our group, wouldn't it? And you know the consequence for that.

[teenspirit]

[ She nods blankly, looking numb. ]

[pasodoble]

I agree.

( Unfortunately. Which is why a rather grumpy looking Spain will sit up a little straighter and, )

But after Kanaya and Miss Aozaki, the odds don't look like they're in our favor... ( This costume was really the last fucking straw. ) I'm tired of this 'game.'

( And he'll probably be more tired after these nightmares really kick in, great. )

... What happens to the others in this show when all of your killers are gone, producer?

[vytis]

Are you really that convinced you're all going to fail, Spain?

[pasodoble]

Are you convinced we'll keep playing even if we succeed?

[vytis]

You're not allowed to retire. [So, yes, pretty convinced.]

[pasodoble]

( ... )










That isn't fair!

[vytis]

Regardless, those are the rules.

[pasodoble]

Then change them!

[vytis]

They're rules for a reason. I'm sorry it upsets you.

[pasodoble]

You aren't sorry at all.

[vytis]

You can believe that, if you'd like.

[souredsweet]

[whoops the angry angel is back]

What? Why not? At the beginning, you stated that committing a murder and winning would earn us our prize. A murder.

[vytis]

[Welcome back.]

Because those are the rules. I explained what this group was necessary for in the beginning.

[souredsweet]

[sure is nice to be visiting again so soon...!]

If I succeed once and obtain my incentive then, what reason do I have to continue?

[vytis]

That would break the rules, and you know the consequences for that.

[souredsweet]

So we cannot retire or reveal the group, as it is against the rules... And we cannot obtain our incentives until we commit at least one successful murder, but the failure condition will be triggered if we do not continue to play regardless?

[WHY WAS THIS NOT MADE CLEAR EARLIER PRODUCER WHY!!]

[vytis]

[Lithuania nods.] And, of course, if none of you commit a murder on a week when we require your group to act, you all lose.
