MECHANICS

SCHEDULEThe game’s schedule will be split into different periods: Free time/downtime, Motive, Investigation, and the trial.✦《┊ Free time will last for 2 weeks.

Use this time to develop relationships towards other characters!✦《┊ Motives will last for** 2 weeks.** How much time that passes IC depends entirely on the motive, which will be specified!✦《┊ There will be downtime periods for mods, which will last 1-2 weeks! During this time, NO investigations will occur.✦《┊ There are TWO different types of investigations:✦《┊ HOTEL INVESTIGATION: During the free time and motive periods, the mods will open up investigation slots. Players will be able to sign up for slots. Once an investigation has started, you will have a week to complete that investigation. You don’t have to take the full week or even finish investigating the whole area by the end of the week, the investigation slot will just close! Your characters may revisit these rooms in roleplays and look around/interact, but investigation slots are specifically meant to find clues!✦《┊BODY DISCOVERIES: This marks the end of a motive period. You will have 3 days ooc (a few hours ic) to investigate the crime scene before the trial. These will always happen on a Wednesday.✦《┊ Trials will happen after the end of the BDA.

Currency can be gained by writing, art, role playing, and in-game events.✦《┊ If a character breaks a rule in game, they will be met with punishment.

Mods will notify you if you need to roll for a specific action.✦《┊ Rules still apply for these investigations, along with punishments!✦《┊ You’re basically allowed to interact with anything in the room. Do whatever your heart desires (as long as you aren’t breaking any rules).✦《┊ Once the investigation is finished, you will receive currency!

SUMMARY

Prologue - 5/19✦《┊ Everyone wakes up in their respective rooms with their roommates with collars around their necks! Unfamiliar with their surroundings, everyone decides to investigate and all end up in the lobby. There, a fight almost breaks out between Jhin, Kanda, and Imogene (Well. More like Imogene wanted to fight Jhin) before a gun was shot by the enforcer, Leif.
A plush cat named Salem proceeded to explain that everyone is here to kill each other! A killing game, where in order to get freedom, you need to murder. Of course, no one is happy with that. Everyone found out that they're all associated with a tarot card, a tattoo on their palm of their hand with a roman numeral. Without explaining much else, Salem dipped out leaving a scared and confused cast!Prologue End - 6/14 - 6/17
✦《┊ During the evening of the 14th, Salem excitedly invited everyone to come to the dining hall for something that he had prepared. Unbeknownst to everyone (including Salem), what laid beyond the doors was something horrible.On one of the tables laid the dead body of Watson, the hotel's butler. Salem forced the students to investigate the death, as he originally believed that one of the students caused it behind his back. While everyone investigated the body, Yuqi's unconscious body was found in the kitchen. It had turned out that she had hit her head, and left her with a nasty head injury.After the students investigated the body, Salem called a trial for them to figure out the killer. After a few hours of debating, it came to the conclusion that the hotel's nurse, Lucky, had murdered the butler. Lucky claimed that she was not in control of her actions, and did not recall why she did such a heinous act to the cat.Instead of killing or punishing Lucky, Salem decided to use this as an opportunity to show the students that he did fully intend to murder the students here. He ended up activating the collars, causing the head of the enforcer, Leif, to blow up.Salem then left everyone to their own devices to think about what happened that day, dismissing the students into a new sense of dread.
