PROFESSORS RULEBOOK 2.0

PROFESSORS

It's an ordinary Tuesday. Whether you rose with the sun or enjoyed a little lie in, the day proceeds as it has just like the days before it. However, sometime in the early afternoon you soon feel an increasing sense of curiosity that compels you to open the nearest door. No matter where you are, this door leads you to a small, cozy office. The fireplace crackles, soft lights illuminate the furniture around the room, and the three members of Master Blue's staff immediately rise to their feet.

"Greetings, Professor!"

ROLE INFORMATION

Every Tuesday, Professors will be allowed to choose one guest to learn of their whereabouts and ongoings in the mansion. The Professors must agree on who this person is, as they are only allowed one choice per week. Once the Professors have selected a pick, the staff will provide them with a list of guests their pick has spoken with in the past week, locations they have visited, and other relevant information.

Professors will also be able to send one anonymous message to one guest in the game per week. This person may not be the same as their other pick, and the Professors do not have to agree on a recipient. Should a note not be sent that week, the opportunity will be lost.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

The Professors will be allowed to ask questions about the ongoings of the mansion. They will also be able to receive small hints should they perform well, including game mechanics, locations and more. However, the staff have final say as to what information is shared. Be sure to pick your questions wisely!

While teamwork is encouraged, it's not required. That decision is up to you.

Good afternoon, Plum-san.

[is she wearing a mask too...]

Now that Hunter has been spared from the oddity, is it necessary to worry about his fluctuation levels in the future?

[cluedin]

[ noooope! plum is looking completely normal, though she's keeping close to peach and is. braiding her hair? maybe it's a look thing. ]

No, I don't believe that will be necessary, sir. That seems to have done the trick...

[miscakes]

[It is absolutely not a look thing and he's watching them with growing concern, wtf.]

Wonderful. Those are excellent news. If we come across another dose, will the same apply to anyone else who is spared?

[cluedin]

[ THEYRE FINE ]

If, indeed. [ it's said a little softly, but she nods again ] I think so. It's what we were working towards, at least.

[miscakes]

Well... Let's remain cautiously optimistic for now, shall we?

[A very big "if" on the antidote.]

By the way, do you know why that syringe was in the morgue? Peach-san was adamant that the room had seen no use in a long time.

[cluedin]

It has not. [ she nods in agreement with peach, but-- ] Perhaps there are items we missed lying around. Objects do have a way of winding up places in this house.

[ she sounds even more deadpan than usual about it... ]

[miscakes]

Did you, or your master, know there was antidote at all? Even if things have a way to getting lost in this house, losing track of something so important sounds like too much...

[plum r u ok]

[cluedin]

[ is she ever. she hums and turns back to peach's hair ]

To be perfectly honest, Master Blue was also uncertain as to whether that antidote would work at the time. It might have been one of the Master's earlier attempts.

[miscakes]

... So it was entirely possible 45-san would have had to kill Hunter, regardless of our efforts. [YIKES.] How long ago did Master Blue create the first attempts?

[cluedin]

Yes... I assume she had figured out as much for herself when she volunteered.

[ aint that fun. she tilts her head ]

Around the time of your first monster, sir.

[miscakes]

[That's very fun! He grimaces, but. Yeah. That's fair.]

I see... [Hm. Well, then. With absolutely zero faith that this could ever happen:] Should circumstances ever allow it, what would happen if the creature's host was injected with a dose of the antidote before a murder could take place?

[cluedin]

[ she looks very dubious that could ever happen as well. team #doubt ]

... I am not certain. The antidote seemed to work because the transformation had taken place. I can't say if it would react to lower fluctuation levels. [ she hums a little ] Of course, all of this is strictly theoretical. We did not get to observe it for long.

[miscakes]

[team #doubt... he sighs, like he expected that.]

We truly are learning about this as we go, aren't we?

[cluedin]

I'm afraid so.

[ she opens her mouth as if to say something else but then looks at peach and closes her mouth, moving onto another braid ]

Still, despite the ... setbacks, you all did well this weekend.

[miscakes]

Thank you. [...] It won't change what happened to Mammon-san and Meltryllis-san, but I will prove that your master wasn't wrong to place their trust in us.

[Probably... Fucking up is frustrating.

He gives her a curious look.]

Was there something else you wanted to say?

[cluedin]

[ she shrugs lightly ]

... Only that the Master has not lost faith or trust in you yet.

[ that doesn't seem like that's what it was, but at least she seems to mean it!! ]

[miscakes]

[... no idea what to do with that, so moving on!!

he gestures at peach.]

Will she be alright? It's alarming to see one of you has become ill.

[cluedin]

Yes. Peach simply needs time and rest, and she'll be good as new.

[ is it directed at akechi or at peach? yes ]

Until then, I do not mind... picking up her slack, so to speak.

[miscakes]

[Please sneep, Peach, or else there will really be a fourth body this time...]

Haha, is that so...? I imagine this must be difficult for you. Maintaining the house clean is an arduous task as it is with this group.

[cluedin]

Please don't remind me, sir.

[ she's going to fight babo kim with her bare hands because of the music room ]

[miscakes]

My apologies. I didn't mean to dredge up unpleasant memories.

[plum could tpk them all and she would be justified.]

[cluedin]

It's fine, sir. You were not to blame for it. And I did manage to repair all of it.

[ even her PIPE ORGAN!!! :( ]

But Peach will be fine. I will take up any slack she needs.

[

not even pretending pumpkin will help ]
