night three - kill log

[guestcontrol]

Who: Killers, Dipper, and Mahiru
What: "dipper and mabel would win any twinoff murder game just by virtue of not having one crazy twin and one sane twin." - aki
When: The third night
Where: The park...

[It's in the dead of the night when Dipper's door abruptly unlocks. His bracelet begins to beep. Something seems to be calling him, ordering him to leave his room. For every moment he delays, it beeps with more and more urgency, especially if he tries to bring anything. And besides, he feels groggy, not inclined to protest much. Shortly after, Mahiru's door also unlocks, and she's led to the park behind him.

As he steps outside, lights illuminate the path. The lights lead into the park. As soon as either one steps through the door into the park, the door slams shut. It won't open for again, and pounding on the door or calling for help will not yield any results. It's only once inside that the grogginess wears off.

You can run or try to hide, but there's not much use to it. Your bracelet is still beeping, the only obvious sound in the darkness. And though you're not restrained, you'll find there's no way you can strike a blow against the killers; the bracelet will tighten and you'll feel the grogginess return if you try to fight back.]

[terci]

[Dipper had been staying up, furiously looking over his notes, looking over profiles, thinking, calculating, about who had murdered Kuzuryuu. He failed the first time, when it was really important, but he was determined to come up with evidence to pin them down, and serve them the justice they deserved.

He was in the middle of making a Venn Diagram of strong, weak, and average fighters, when his door unlocked and his bracelet started beeping. Alarmed, he got to his feet and looked over to his door, a bad feeling in his gut. But, the beeping, grogginess, and curiosity had him inclined to leave, despite the fact that he knew it probably wasn't a good idea.

He follows the lights, each step filled with dread and making his stomach tighten the more he walked.]

D-don't worry, Dipper. You'll be fine! Y-you're probably just being paranoid, that's all. [He stepped through the door into the park, jumping at the sound of the door slamming shut, and he whips around and studies the door for a few minutes before realizing the urgency of the situation. There's a slight hesitation, before he backs away from the door and turns around to begin running, to where he wasn't sure. Anywhere was better than standing around in the plain open, he was sure.]

[Working on the newspaper with Aya is a great way to put Mahiru to sleep like a baby. Combined with whatever reason she has to not be wearing the camera around her neck, Mahiru's steps are light and easy. She has to still be dreaming. There's no way that she could be in the park at night.

Outside that door, the exhaustion leaves her limbs and the only feeling she has left is that headache, the aching scar, the black spot under those bandages she hasn't gotten to change again yet.

She thinks she can imagine silhouettes.]

Good evening...?
