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.

[Ah. He holds a hand up, as if trying to placate him.]

It's not to say I have anything against her. That's just my honest assessment of her character. She strikes me as the kind to keep her cards close to her chest. In a situation like this, she would be smart to do so.

[So! It's a thought.]

Asch-san... Doesn't he strike you as the type who would shout their secrets in the heat of the moment? I bet we could get anything out of him after he's sufficiently riled up.

[mammoney]

I guess...

[Don't go against his inhuman buddy(?) bro. >8(]

...He kind of does, now that you say it. Hey, let's do it! Let's tie him up and torture him a little for answers!!

[NO]

[miscakes]

[Look... Listen... He's just saying she's shady in a SMART way? Take that as a compliment, gosh.

At that, though. Um.]

—Are you insane? [BRUH.] We are not going to resort to torture! As a detective, I won't allow it!

[mammoney]

Awwww, why not? Sheesh, you're just like this human I know... [A pause.] We have to do this some dumb human way and ask questions? Not even a little torture?

[PWEASE???]

[miscakes]

Absolutely not! My sense of justice won't allow it. Furthermore, do you understand the amount of trouble you would be in after resorting to something so barbaric? We'll rely on our wits and nothing else.

[AKECHI, LIKE A HYPOCRITE: NO!!!]

[mammoney]

...Wow, you sound exactly like Satan, except Satan is actually fun sometimes.

[And he supports torture!!!]

[miscakes]

[.........................]

Excuse me?

[mammoney]

[i hate this]

You heard what I said. You and Satan are like, peas in a pod! Total stuck-up nerds!

[miscakes]

[............... CLOSES HIS EYES.]

... I suppose this means you have no other objections to checking Meltryllis-san.

[MOVING ON!!]

I should remind you we have to decide on an anonymous message to send, as well.

[mammoney]

Sure, go for it if you want. Still sucks I can't torture Asch...

[PARTY POOPER]

Oh, right. [Please don't ask him to think.] Uh. Do we think we need to let someone know somethin'? Like if they're in danger or not? I don't know what else I'd write if we want to keep ourselves secret...

[miscakes]

Why are you hung up on that...?

[Mammon, you're killing him.

But he nods.]

We have no choice but to play it by ear today, but perhaps it would be a good idea to prepare a message ahead of time in the future. That is, as long as we don't discover something of greater important after investigating someone.

[mammoney]

Because torture is fun!

[he is a demon]

I guess... [You are smart, Akechi, of course.] Anyways! Who we writin' to? What we writin'?

[miscakes]

No.

[NO.]

About that... Why don't we ask the staff to investigate someone for us first, and then decide the body and recipient for the note?

[mammoney]

You need to try it! I'm sure you'd have fun, too.

[NOOOOOOO]

Sure. Let's do it! Even though I'm still against it, but...I guess Melt is our best bet so far...

[miscakes]

Please stop suggesting illegal activities.

[YOU'RE A MISTAKE, MAMMON.

Sighs!! Aggressively!!]

Very well. If we get nothing out of this, then we'll simply have to do better next week.

[mammoney]

[Just. Sticks out his tongue at him.]

Sure thing. As long as I get stuff for this...I'm with ya, detective.

[Wow. So reassuring.]

[miscakes]

[........... WELL. Coming back to this once they have the notif.]

"Fluctuation levels"...?

[The fuck does that mean.]

[mammoney]

...

[Staring at it a long time.]

What does..."fluctuation" mean............

[miscakes]

[...]

Is that a serious question?

[mammoney]

[Shooting him a glare.]

Yeah, it is! What does it mean? I ain't got all day!

[miscakes]

[Mammon you are making him AGE a whole ass TEN YEARS by the SECOND.

He sighs. Slowly, like he's talking to a child:]

It's an irregular rising and falling in number. A variation. Problem is, I don't know what this is referring to.

[mammoney]

[Can you imagine that he's over 5000 years old?]

I...see. [He...kind of gets it. Maybe.] A number that goes up and down, like stocks...maybe its like, measuring how much they're likely to crash?

[stonks]

[miscakes]

[MAYBE... Hilariously, Akechi doesn't think that's half bad considering Mammon is a dumbass. He pauses, raising a hand to his chin.]

Or, perhaps, how likely they are to be affected by the oddity. A "crash" in a manner of speaking.

[STONKS!!]

But we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. Let's ask the staff for clarification.
