DOCTECTIVES RULEBOOK

PROFESSORS & THE DOCTOR

It's an ordinary Monday. 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.

"Hello everyone!"

ROLE INFORMATION

As the Doctor:
Every Monday, the Doctor will meet with the staff and be given the opportunity to grant two players protection for the week. One name may be submitted to protect a victim from a monstrous foe, and the other name may be submitted to protect a victim from a kill by human means. The Doctor may not grant these two forms of immunity to the same person, however.

Should the Doctor choose to protect someone and that person is selected as a victim, the Doctor's name will be provided as the victim and they will be given the change to fight back against the killer. They may or may not survive this encounter.

The choices must be made at the time of the meeting. The Doctor only gets one meeting per week and they must choose wisely who they wish to protect. The Doctor also has the option not to submit their choices.

As the Professor:
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 & the Doctor 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.

[master blue please give your employees pto so plum can go somewhere she doesn't have to clean up...]

I see. [HM.] By the way, I know the three of you have worked with Master Blue for quite some time. Have they always hosted parties in this property, or have you moved to different locations since you were hired?

[cluedin]

[ she blinks a bit, like the question surprises her ]

We have always been in this house, sir.

[miscakes]

Then, do you know if someone else worked in this house with Master Blue before you three were hired?

[cluedin]

[ she shakes her head. her ears go flop flop with it. ] No. The Master was alone until we were brought in.

[miscakes]

Really? [A little surprised.] ... Akira and I exchanged letters with Master Blue last week. We asked why someone would plant fake documents in the morgue. Their response was that "revenge is a dish best served cold"... I though they may have a feud with a former resident of this house.

[cluedin]

[ there's a deliberate pause... ]

Remind me again what else you found in the morgue, sir?

[miscakes]

[stares.]

Besides the very undead guests who shouldn't have been there?

[cluedin]

[ stares back, looking very tired. ]

Yes. I believe you also found some different objects.

[miscakes]

[zia why would you make me go back to read that thread]

The antidote, a bracelet, a camera, and files on the 15 individuals we found in the morgue.

[cluedin]

[ she continues to stare ]

Of those, one certainly proved itself useful, did it not?

[miscakes]

... Of course. Hunter wouldn't have survived without it. [?????] Do you mean to imply that note was planted because of the antidote?

[cluedin]

[ she shrugs, idly ]

If I was behind the cause of this affliction... I would certainly be annoyed at someone attempting to stop it.

[miscakes]

I see. [...] Yes, if I was behind this affliction, I would be extremely annoyed as well. I might even try to discredit the one actively working against me to make them seem less trustworthy.

[It's not exactly the answer he was looking for, but please don't get your lips sewn shut Plum.]

I noticed your rooms are all on the fifth floor. Will we gain access to a new area next week, or is this the last time?

[cluedin]

[ yeah listen she is doing her best to not be her sister rn u_u ]

I do not believe this is the last the house will open itself up further to you.

[miscakes]

Are you able to say how many floors there are left?

[without, uh, becoming peach.]

[cluedin]

[ ... she tilts her head ]

What is usually at the very top of a house, sir?

[miscakes]

[Ah.]

The roof. The house has one more area to show us, then.

[cluedin]

[ a beat ]

What comes before the roof?

[slobjection]

Hmm......... I wonder.... what's commonly used for storage.....

[ it's a fucking attic akechi ]

[miscakes]

[no the house is lame for not giving us roof access where's the dramatic five story fall death ://]

You weren't asked.

[slobjection]

Do you want a hint?

[ get roasted akechi ]

[ this is for luna and peach ]

[brokethefirst]

[please don't poke the snake with a stick!!!]
