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.

I am considering Ayabe-san. [A beat.] Or Akira.

[Because, uh, salt.]

One. I had an item that allowed me to check an additional person last week. That was a special case. Hunter was included in the previous note because we thought someone would become paranoid that he was still infected. Meltryllis... was a mistake. Our first note mentioned only one individual, but the person who received it refused to share.

Gimme your reasons for suspecting Ayabe and Akira.

[ and - hey, context! ] Oh. Man, we were wrong. Who was the first person who got a note?
miscakes: (125)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I fear Ayabe-san may target more than one person if he transforms. Akira... [...] He is well-regarded by everyone. People are easily fooled when they wish to believe the worst hasn't come to pass. Even Thymos-san suspected Lio this weekend, and failed to say anything. But, to be blunt, there is no one who is more easily infected than another. We are playing a game of chance.

[Context.........]

Kuji-kun. If he had shown the note, we may not have made as many mistakes as we did.

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-23 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...I agree. I... think it would ease a lot of people to know if Akira was safe. And if not... then...

[HAHAHA... let's not think about that]
disreguarded: (13)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-23 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ she scrubs at her face. ]

Yeah, honestly? I think Akira's a good choice. There's a few people here that everybody trusts, and we gotta make sure it stays that way. We can't just assume certain people will be fine just because we trust them.

He's a good voice during the trial too, so knowing that he is or isn't a monster makes it easier for us to let him speak up.
miscakes: (144)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. If we are settled, we can proceed to check Akira.

[It's... fine. It's fine.]

By the way, Beauregard-san, what items do you currently possess? We need to pool our resources together now that you have joined our team.
disreguarded: (13)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-23 07:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Fuck, right. Okay, um.

I've got a shield that's supposed to protect me from a hit, according to Nie Huaisang. I've got a medallion that lets me see into a place I can't reach. Brilith and I got a knife, few weeks ago, for participating in that challenge. She's got it, though. I know a couple of items other people have, too. Just in case you wanna know that.

Oh, and I can use my ki. Just once, though.
miscakes: (106)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Sharing what we know about other people's items would be useful. We don't know when it could become relevant during a trial.

[That said... he lifts an eyebrow at her.]

As your reward for voting correctly on Saturday, yes? What is your "ki" capable of?
disreguarded: [ᴏ̨ᴜᴇᴅᴅᴀᴊᴀᴡ] (42)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-23 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that was my reward. And it can do a couple things. Most importantly is I can theoretically punch the truth out of a person. They can just choose not to say anything, but - they can't lie for a minute.

Akira and Lio both have the same kind of medallion as me. Phoenix had a lie bracelet and a flute. Nie Huaisang also had something that let him detect the truth, but I think he used it. [ a pause, then, with a sigh: ] Jin Ling has explosives. Dynamite. I think he hid it somewhere.
miscakes: (051)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh? [He looks surprised... and then very pleased.] That's useful. How many people have you told about this?

[But also—]

Phoenix-san's bracelet is in my possession. Unfortunately, someone else claimed the flute before I could speak to Hunter. [This is why he wanted to hold onto the bag, before Agni cucked him.] It would have allowed one of us to stay awake between midnight and 7:00 on Fridays.
disreguarded: (13)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-23 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Nie Huaisang, and you. That's all I'm telling. I'm keeping it a secret to use during trials if I gotta.

[ as far as the flute: ] And yeah, I know. Phoenix told me before he died. [ SIGH. ] He was planning on trying to trap the monster. When they said his name, I thought he'd used it.

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-24 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Nodding at that, but at the second part... well. He deflates a little. Kind of. His skin isn't quite skin right now.]

We intended to come up with a plan to use it this week, but that's no longer possible. We need to find out who took it before they do something reckless.
disreguarded: (26)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-24 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ that's just - super creepy and she's disturbed by it. herugh. ]

We could just ask Hunter? I can ask Hunter.
miscakes: (144)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-24 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
I already asked. Apparently, he promised not to reveal that person's identity.
disreguarded: [ᴍᴇᴇʙʟᴏᴛᴛ] (05)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-24 04:21 pm (UTC)(link)
[ grumble. ] I'll ask too. Just in case.
miscakes: (121)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-25 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
You're welcome to do so.

[Shrugs!! He's pretty sure she'll get the same response he did.]
miscakes: (281)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[...]

If he isn't, we come up with a plan and take care of it. I won't allow him to become this house's puppet.

...Blue mentioned that the cure isn't a physical item we can craft, but rather a... a metaphysical one. They wouldn't explain it any more than that, but... they said we would be able to find it, given experience.
miscakes: (048)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Metaphysical...? [P5 KILL BILL SIRENS INTENSIFY...?] Do we need to retrace our steps to find the answer, as well?
brokethefirst: (⚙ holding your beating heart)

[personal profile] brokethefirst 2020-03-23 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
How did they put it, um...

"The cure to stop this game exists outside of your current experience. Being here and learning adds to your experience. You have more time to explore."

It... was about as helpful as usual.
disreguarded: (34)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-23 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the power of fucking friendship. I hate this place.
miscakes: (028)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[............. CLOSES HIS EYES.]

They want us to stop treating the symptoms, and go right for the source of the infection.
disreguarded: [ᴘᴏʀᴢɪᴏ_ᴀʀᴛ] (08)

[personal profile] disreguarded 2020-03-23 07:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's what I got when I talked to them. They want us to go for the heart and not worry about curing people. It's pragmatic, which is what they are.
miscakes: (020)

[personal profile] miscakes 2020-03-23 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not like I disagree. Dealing with the problem at its root is our best option. Only problem is that we have yet to find the house's heart.
