DOCTECTIVES 2.0

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.

[Ah.

She closes her mouth immediately and just kind of. Nods along with him. Yeah, it's fine.]

It gives us an opportunity to plan in advance, far more than what the victims themselves are allowed.

[disreguarded]

[ yeah she super hates the whole sacrificial thing but - that makes sense. she nods a bit. ]

Yeah. Definitely. [ she - has to say it. ] You didn't know about Phoenix, though. [ :c ]

Anyway. Alright, I think I'm getting what's going on. Mostly. I'm a quick learner, I'll figure it out as I go.

[brokethefirst]

...U-um... [Is it possible for her to shrink more in on herself...]

We didn't before Friday, but...

[disreguarded]

[ a beat. ]

But?

[brokethefirst]

Um...

We... got a message from him on Friday... that told us who was attacking him...

[disreguarded]

WHAT?!

[brokethefirst]

That's... that's why he had his phone.

It was just a jumbled mess, but... Akechi and I were able to decode it. We knew it was a dragon. And we knew it was Lio.

1/2

[disreguarded]

[ her first instinct is to be fucking furious. it comes up, bright and angry in her expression, and for a second, her fists clench. for a second, she thinks about just destroying something -- ]

[disreguarded]

[ and then. she stops. she takes a deep breath. touches the beanie.

she waits. ]

... But you couldn't just outright say it was him. Because that would've been suspicious.

[brokethefirst]

[hahahahahah GUESS WHO FLINCHED BACKWARDS WITH HER HANDS IN FRONT OF HER FACE

She'll just. Nod.]

[miscakes]

[luna...................]

[brokethefirst]

[it's fine]

[miscakes]

[it's not and they will need to have A Talk.......... later, anyway.]

[disreguarded]

I - come on. [ she says, guiltily. ] Luna...

[brokethefirst]

It's...[Her voice trembles, but she lowers her hands, grasping them together tightly.] It's fine. I apologize.

[disreguarded]

Don't apologize for me losing my temper, Luna, you know that shit isn't okay.

I'm working on it.

[miscakes]

[Y... Yeah...]

... You will see after we have done our check, Beauregard-san. But as part of our special privileges, we can send and receive messages using our phones. No one else is able see them. There was nothing we could say early on without drawing suspicion to ourselves.

[disreguarded]

Yeah. I know, it makes sense. Look, I get angry easy but I'm not gonna do anything to fuck us over, so - so yeah.

Can you teach me how to use the phone?

[miscakes]

[... He sighs and nods.]

It's an older model than what I'm accustomed to, but we will teach you everything we know. It's rather intuitive once you know the basics.

[disreguarded]

Man, I wondered what that was all about. When I found it on Phoenix.

[miscakes]

You didn't know about Phoenix-san, either.

[SHOOTING HER A LOOK LIKE, WHY ARE YOU BRING THAT UP WITH LUNA...]

[disreguarded]

No, I didn't, I'm not fucking accusing anybody of anything, I'm just saying.

[miscakes]

[A pointed glance in Luna's direction, and back to Beau.]

Then be mindful of what you say.

[disreguarded]

She's a grown up. She can defend herself and tell me she's pissed if she has a problem, Akechi.

[miscakes]

[..........................................

It definitely looks like there's something he wants to say about that, but he will abstain for the sake of not setting this whole meeting on fire.]
