special guests night five

28 players remaining.

There's no way to mark the passage of time after lights out, but it isn't long before the lightbulb in your bedroom flickers back to life, and your door unlocks. Make your way into the park; the door will unlock for you, and the path you need to take lights up with a dim red glow.

When you reach the foot of the treehouse, a ladder has been dropped for you. Climb up and come inside. The interior of the treehouse has been made comfortable for you. There's an old map of the park on the wall, as well as the mounted and stuffed heads of cartoon animal costumes on the wall. The decor seems like something of a parody of an upscale hunting lodge, and you're welcome to sit by the fire and enjoy snacks from back home, or relax in one of the outdoor hammocks.

Enjoy yourself as you decide who to kill. After all, you're in on a little secret - none of this is real, and it's all part of a fun little game from which everyone, winners and losers alike, will wake up.

Ibuki doesn't mind! She thinks the cop is among K-chan and Kaoru-chan, Sigma-chan, or Belgium! But, didn't K-chan wanting to go along with this help us? We...saved three more people.

[ Without. Even trying. Ibuki looks a little upset, too, mostly because Gundam made a target of himself, there...

But also, they killed a pair out of desperation. ]

The...faster we save them, the less it'll hurt everyone later on, after this, right?

[ He nods ]

Yes, and for that, we can thank him. But still... That "pinch" feels like too much to me. Accusing people randomly, then telling them that you hardly care with evidence presented? That's too far, in my opinion. And how everyone went along with it without question... That was upsetting, in truth.

[ Ciel sits back in his chair, much calmer by now ]

I agree with your assessment, in any case. K and Kaoru are at least a pair, so we'll strike down half the list, then tomorrow, we can strike Sigma or Belgium unless we need to pursue someone else. We can at least count on Gundam to recant his stances if pushed, it seems.

They all think it's real, right? And...none of them wanted to let us convert. They don't get that it'd be better if we could. Ibuki can see how it'd be scary - Gundam-chan made her and Peko-chan promise to vote after we didn't vote the first day, though.

[ She can't go back on that without being suspicious. ]

Though Ibuki thinks Ciel-chan is underestimating Gundam-chan's stubbornness!

It is scary. But to see it go this far was what I found truly frightening. It was little more than a mob mentality, and for that, I worry that they will destroy themselves first.

[ He shakes his head with a frown ]

Then would you suggest him? I would rather not target your classmates for a while, since we had been so aggressive at first that you and Peko staying alive would be somewhat suspicious.

No no no no no no way!!! Ibuki's already really lucky they don't think one of us is a VIP! People might be suspicious of Gundam-chan after last night, anyway.

[ CAN WE NOT KILL HER CLASSMATES FOR A WHILE. ]

If...they keep doing this, at least we'll have the numbers we need sooner rather than later, right?

[ Ibuki sounds oddly unsure. ]

[ He nods with a sigh ]

So it would seem... I can't believe it's happening this way. I honestly didn't anticipate that we would resort to a mob mentality so, er, soon.

...Ibuki's not that surprised. She was only in one class trial before this, but...that sort of situation...makes people react weird.

[ Like killing at all... ]

Then you had better foresight than I, as usual.

[ He sighs, then offers her a cookie, since he's sitting next to them and is feeling nice. ]

I would prefer not to strike any of your classmates, though. I don't like Gundam because of how he helps the dog, but... He's not quite as bad. And Peko is good for me to have now, since I can simply ask for her votes and mask my alliance that way.

[ Ibuki accepts the cookie, smiling - for the first time since they got up to the treehouse. Still standing as usual, she just leans against Ciel's chair, taking a bite of the cookie. ]

Ummm, Ibuki also would prefer not to. Peko-chan will defend Ibuki until and unless Ibuki is caught! Ibuki's pretty sure...they might start checking Ibuki's class soon. If that happens, Ibuki's gone gone gone!

[ Ciel nods ]

I think you're right about that. Gundam is known as innocent, I would say, and Peko... I don't know if she may have been investigated already, but it's possible. So when it's your turn, it'll be obvious, I suppose.

[ a sigh ]

Let's hope we can take out the detective and cops before that happens.

Even if she goes out, Ibuki has no regrets! ...Not a lot, anyway! She's done her best for everyone, so...

[ All they can do is their best. No one member of the team is any more important than the others; if she goes out, she won't take any of them down with her... ]

And Ciel-chan and the others know who Ibuki suspects!

[ He smiles, and though it's a small smile as usual, there's some amount of warmth there, at least. ]

Right. You'll just be going a bit before the rest of us, so it will be fine, really. And you truly have done your best, so we will at least be with good information.

Ehehe! And whoever goes next can keep Edea-chan company, anyway.

[ It isn't as though she would be alone...THOUGH SHE HAS TO GET MARRIED TOMORROW MORNING, AND CIEL IS OFFICIATING. MAYBE. ]

We're doing pretty well, right? We're...almost to the halfway mark, right?!

[ ...LMAO WAIT WHAT iBUKI NO ]

Yes, it would seem so. If our days continue to go like this, we'll succeed in no time at all.

[ His expression softens and Ciel shakes his head ]

I hope they don't, however. Today was particularly frustrating.

[ SHE IS MARRYING OZ AND U CAN'T STOP HER nor can oz who has accepted his fate... ]

Ibuki wouldn't want to win like this either, but...rather than how we win, just that we do is more important...before that question mark guy takes out a bunch of people.

[ wow excuse, oz and ciel are already boyfriends having meetings like every day gosh

which is to say, before you ask, I don't know how this happens to aki and I's characters, I really don't ]

Truly. They're all so focused on the VIPs as if we're some kind of incredible danger, but we're merely the more obvious one. I would push for them to focus on the other party, but I'm reluctant to say much of anything during trials.

[ TOO LATE honey actually has had oz meetings every day too......

ibuki just dibbsed him ok for stupid reasons ]

Well...they'll understand what they misunderstood later, at least!! For now, we just have to bear with it.

[ oz you harlot!!!! ]

It's not so hard, actually. I thought I might have more trouble with it, but pretending to be righteously outraged isn't hard when they're all imbeciles.

[ oz harem endgame tho ]

Ehehehe! Ciel-chan wasn't really pretending about that, though, right?!

[ I thought it was Ciel with a harem but it was actually Oz all along... ]

I was exaggerating, but no, for the most part, that was genuine. I hate injustice. There are excuses I am willing to make in this setting, but what we came to today did not feel right at all.

Ibuki...agrees. Hajime-chan wouldn't have liked that at alllllllll. Ibuki didn't like it, either, but we had to go with it, right? ...Even if that's an excuse, too, we need as many of them to be safe as fast as possible.

[ But the bodies always make her feel sick, even if they're not real. ]

We did, but I felt there were better ways to have reached a conclusion. It was argued to be logical, but... It wasn't. K and Gundam were simply so opposed to a conversion that they were willing to sacrifice innocents.

[ He shakes his head with a serious expression. ]

Their fear of conversion was understandable. But executing two people, one of which they knew was innocent, and with such weak proof against the other? I truly hope they reflect upon their actions.

Gundam-chan will. Ibuki doesn't know about K-chan. But...even so, Gundam-chan doesn't want to vote for no one, ever.

[ Because...well. ]

A lot of other people did, though. Ibuki can't, because she promised to vote, but...if they agree to no-vote again, everyone could get another helping hand.

Speaking of that... Nanami was really freaking out. Maybe she'll crack tonight.

...I noticed that as well.

[ He glances to the side with a soft laugh. ]

If she ever would, I think this would do it. It shows just how willing to kill for their own lives people are. Nanami doesn't know the truth, so it has to be terrifying to her especially.
