PROFESSORS RULEBOOK

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.

If we were unaware of Master Blue's reasoning for your job, Mr. Akechi, we wouldn't even be having this meeting with you. [:T] I do wonder what conclusions you'll come to though now with a bit more information at your fingertips.

[miscakes]

True. But that hardly answers my question about the announcements. [:T!!] Regardless, I assure you I won't disappoint. Your master made the right choice.

[cluedin]

Master Blue usually does. [She'll agree with that. Regardless...]

What happened to Nikki was, like, kind of a huge fluke but a total tragedy all the same...people here are upset and there's definitely a possibility that it'll happen again. And with these other factors on the line now, it's likely that others will possibly act out to hurt other people.

Your job would be to catch anyone who brings harm to the other guests at hand in an effort to assist those who remain. In some cases, it may not be so easy to tell when someone is guilty. That's where you come in.

[miscakes]

... I see. Then you could say we're a contingency plan.

[Not sure how he feels about that, but...]

You already know my reservations about the sixth rule. I believe it's more likely to incite than to prevent... However, if this is all I can do about it for now, then I will give it my all. Is there anything else we should be aware of?

[cluedin]

That's one way to look at it, yeah. [She thinks for a moment.] The rules can be altered if they're no longer needed for the house, sir. Figure out a way to solve that mystery and you'll have an answer.

...I guess the only other thing is to maybe keep this between us. I don't know how the others would respond right away to knowing you were outright spying on them, even if it's for their own good.

[miscakes]

[... He blinks.]

If we find a way to stop the blackmail and the oddities, will the sixth rule be eliminated?

[(x) doubt]

Don't worry. I know what it means to be discreet. I'll make sure this remains between the five of us.

[But five can keep a secret if one of them gets suplexed, ig.]

[cluedin]

It's entirely possible. Like I said, if the rules are no longer needed for the house, they may be altered. It's worth trying, isn't it?

[And she just. Smiles. Thanks for being a pal, Akechi.]

[miscakes]

[Let's pretend he considered that enough and nyoomed off to talk to Mammon after this, because he's coming back with A Question after the notification.]

Peach-san, what is the "Fluctuation Level" monitoring?

[cluedin]

[Hm. She'll just consider that for a moment before she blinks curiously.]

I'm pretty sure it's meant to monitor the subconscious dwellings of a person...after what happened to Haruka. [...hah...hah...hah.]

[miscakes]

The subconscious dwellings?

[why would you say this to a p5 character, peach... that just makes him look even more ??? about it, furrowing his brows at the explanation.]

Is it at all related to how likely they are to be affected by the oddity?

[cluedin]

Yeah, that's...that's a very reasonable assumption, sir.

[miscakes]

... I see.

[Bad.]

I'll let you know if we have any other questions.

[cluedin]

Of course. Take your time. [Ganba, Fred and Shaggy.]
