DOCTOR RULEBOOK

[cluedin]

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, Doctor!"

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.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

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!

TALK TO PEACH

[cluedin]

[brokethefirst]

Oh, um... I'm sorry, am I intruding?

[Being called "doctor" isn't really the weird part here, after all.]

[cluedin]

Not at all, Luna! [She seems very pleased. ] We've been expecting you, after all.

Can we get you anything?

[brokethefirst]

N-no, I'm okay. [There was a LOT OF DEATH over the weekend please forgive her for not feeling horribly cheerful.]

I don't understand. Expecting me for... what, exactly?

[cluedin]

...we may not be able to change the rules so easily, but there are things you can do to help. We thought you might be one of the best people for the job after observation.

[brokethefirst]

That's a little vague.

Are you talking about the rules for murder?

[cluedin]

Yeah. Rules six and seven. We're...not really allowed to let you guys break those rules, but it seems fair to let you find a way to help out.

[brokethefirst]

...Do you mean there might be a way to... to keep people from being killed?

[THERE'S A GLIMMER OF HOPE

that fades in like ten seconds]

...But no, that doesn't make any sense. "At least one of your own will take the life of another." And you just said we can't break the rules. Which... means that someone still has to die.

Correct?

[cluedin]

Right. [Pouty kittycat...] But isn't it still better to be able to save one or two people than no one at all?

[brokethefirst]

[...]

You're... really going to let me do that?

TALK TO PLUM

[cluedin]

[brokethefirst]

[Hey so now that Peach gave her the rundown and she's NICE AND DEPRESSED let's go talk to our favorite monotone.]

...I... take it more medical supplies are still not going to be an option.

[if you're gonna call her doctor LET HER DO DOCTOR STUFF]

Would I be able to request anything else, um... specific while in here with the three of you?

[cluedin]

[ she considers ]

We may be able to provide more for you, in thanks for aiding us in this endeavor.

[brokethefirst]

[There's a fluttering sigh of relief as she offers Plum a careful smile.]

Okay. I'll keep it mind.

For right now, um... could I... actually ask for a pen light?

[cluedin]

[ she tilts her head ]

I thought you wished for medical supplies, Doctor?

[ which technically a pen light is but plum ..... is not a nurse ]

[brokethefirst]

It is. Or... well, it's an unobtrusive one. Many different medical tools require the use of light to properly examine different areas of the body, and... well, not that the house isn't well lit, but... candlelight and ceiling lamps are not quite what I need sometimes.

That aside, I think it might just be a safe thing to have for now.

[cluedin]

I see. I can't say anyone on staff knows very much about medical care, I'm afraid, but I will have it delivered to you promptly.

[ which is to say somehow, when walking out of this room, Luna is going to be holding a small box with a medical pen inside! it has infinite battery life somehow and it is the color of your choice for my own hilarity ]

Was there anything else?

[brokethefirst]

This is perfect, thank you.

I, um... I do want to ask if there are limitations on what I can request. Not for medical supplies... I mean, in general.

[cluedin]

[ she hums a little ]

Everyone has limitations, Doctor. This includes the house staff. We will do our best to meet your requests regardless.

[brokethefirst]

I appreciate it. I'll see what I can think of, then. There's not a lot I personally need, but...

...

Considering what I've been asked to prepare for, perhaps I should be a little more proactive.
