VIP Post

Hey there, VIPs! The actual night post won't go up until tomorrow, but we're throwing this up so you can look and check out how the killers are going to work in this game.

Our beautiful and attractive team of killers is: Ibuki Mioda, Tamaki Suoh, Patchouli Knowledge, Anise Tatlin and Royce Bracket (a buddy duo!), Ciel Phantomhive, and Edea Lee.

For now, everything is normal with you guys, but once night begins, brainwashing will take over. Whatever's been done to your brain (and it may present slightly differently in every single person!), it's intended to make you willing to kill, because this is all just a dream/virtual reality/a magic spell/ghosts and everything's okay!

You're able to figure out specifically how your brainwashing will work, but the main goals are to get the characters to participate in killing and to treat the game strategically, to have them have trouble telling fiction from reality and believing the deaths aren't real, and for them to pretend it is real during the day. Your character can believe the reward for winning is a prize, and it's up to you what they think that prize is. A few examples:

Variety A (Carefree) - This is actually a really fun competition! Part of the competition is successfully acting like everything is real! Everyone who dies actually just wakes up safe at home! And if you win, you're going to get a really wonderful prize. Money, three magic wishes, something you've been wanting for a long time.

Variety B (Heroic) - This is a little more serious, being stuck here isn't a good thing, and we need everyone to wake up so we can get home. But everyone who dies safely wakes up. You just need to make sure the VIPs win for the best outcome for everyone. For now, you need to pretend it's real to not draw attention to yourself.

Variety C (Selfish) - You know everyone thinks this is real, but you also know for a fact it isn't, and everyone who dies wakes up safe and sound. So you should really play to win so you can win the prize you want at the end, nothing that happens is going to cause permanent damage anyway.

Also, this particular type of brainwashing can lead to fuzzy thinking/forgetfulness. If it makes it easier for you for your character to just not be able to concentrate on certain trains of logic (like 'hey it's kind of fucked up everyone thinks the deaths are real and we aren't telling them') that's cool. If it's absolutely necessary to avoid giving themselves up, they can also temporarily lose track of their killer role or that deaths aren't real, but we'd rather them be able to play strategically.

Just do whatever seems fun for you, as long as it generally hits these notes and enables you to play your character as a killer. Feel free to brainstorm/ask questions here! We'll also throw together a plurk clique for you guys.

Tamaki is gonna be A and maybe a little bit of B if necessary. HE'S GONNA GET THAT HARUHI BENTO!!!

Bbbut I don't think he's a good enough actor to successfully hide the fact that he's crazy from his friends? Is that going to be a problem or should I figure out how to fudge that, too?

Well, I was thinking more for how they're all talking in private...

But yes feel free to kick him in the shins whenever necessary. That's why Tamaki has shins.

I'll think about it! I don't wanna go super forgetfulness route because I'd like to have as much consistency in his train of thoughts/strategy as possible, so maybe I can work out something better...

Of course, I also think it would be pretty fun to drop some subtle hints that something is Not Right with him, just to see what the hell the host club would do about it, but I don't wanna spoil things for the other mafia.

Okay! I think I'll have him be completely sure that everyone is acting (SUCH GOOD ACTORS 8O), and actively try to avoid really heavy emotions (YOU'RE PRETENDING TO BE SO SAD IT MAKES ME SAD LET'S RP SOMETHING ELSE). If/when he does get caught, then I can amp up the brainwashing and possibly conveniently forget who all the other mafia members are.

I can also volunteer Anise for kicking!! If she thinks he's going to squeal she would make it a point of keeping an eye on him and whatnot

He has no intentions of squealing. He'll be super excited. He's just also a loser and I will probably play him in a lot of private posts.

Still, I can only encourage kicking.
