Game 95B | Trial 1 - The Music Made Them Lose Control

[Spell Craft]

"The performance? How did it go down? Thanks for asking!" Chimon says to nobody. "Let me see, my memory isn't the best, but..."

{The Performance}
Chimon sips on a sippy cup
Over watching so far

Sayaka walks up the stage and looks at the audience
“Good evening everyone!”

The lights blare, as Sayaka and Maya get on stage together.
"Hey hey!"
"My name is Maya, and this is Maizono-chan! Tonight we are going to be preforming almost non-stop for the next hour!"

Sayaka nods
“That is right! We will be taking request as well if you have any desires!”

Maya: "Without further ado, shall we get this started?"

Sayaka: “Of course!”
Sayaka gaves a little hope like a poppy girl group action and began

Maya: "First, we will be preforming Negaigoto Ensemble! Which is one of Maizono-Chan's own songs!"
Song 1: youtu.be/SjemAIE2yrQ

About half way through, Ace walks into the room

Maya glances at Sayaka, before nodding and continuing

Sayaka nods back

Ace is watching from the side of the hall.


As the song comes to an end, the girls walk back to centre stage and celebrate a bit
Maya: "Now, we aren't going to miss a moment, Maizono-chan I hope your ready, because next up is True Story!"

Sayaka: “Oh! That’s an awesome song! I can’t wait to perform that with you!!”

As the girls prepare themselves, Akise walks into the room

Song 2: youtu.be/Q1TSQnRY-R0


Sayaka stands behind Maya, as the song begins
She then begins to follow the beat and dance like back in her group

Chimon gives big claps so far

Chimon sweats and breakdances on stage.

Tody Craverse is enjoying the music so far while grabbing a drinks from one of the waiter serving the drinks.
He slows dance, kinda vibing to the current music playing.

He also looks around for other guests that are present at the time, and he raise his glass, and gave a nod.

Chimon finishes breakdancing.

Tody Craverse then give a claps at Chimon's wonderful breakdancing. He's like “WOOHOO”

Sayaka came out from her daze and ready with her dance steps

Chimon cheers her on!!

Sayaka smiles and gets back to the music groove

Maya: "Alright Maizono-chan, ready for the third in a row?"


Sayaka: "You bet'cha Maya-chan! Ready?"

Maya: "Always have been! It's time for I'm Not Typical!"
Song 3: youtu.be/Fu0ESxIHLus

Tody Craverse whistle at the performance.

"Alright everyone, it's time for a quick intermission, We will be back in fiveee minutes!"

During the intermission, Alec and Magnus walk in.

Sayaka waves at the crowd before heading backstage
"Oh my, Maya-chan! I can't wait for more...look at the turn out! It was unexpected!"

Maya: "I know! I didn't expect this many people to arrive!"

Sayaka: "Let's do our best and perform!"

Maya: "Right! Now Maizono-Chan, what do you want to preform?"

Sayaka: "Hmm, why not one of your songs? The one you practiced this morning?"

Maya: "Alright, I was practising Heaven earlier today, so without further ado!"
Song 4: youtu.be/zQ7H4tZa8-k

Sayaka nods
" Alright, then lets go!!"

Magnus whispers to Alec. Probably something rude.


After preforming a medley of songs, Maya and Sayaka prepare for one last song
Song 5: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdxPwAoJ_lnjGSc5MnWVr9fAwk49W6_jZ


Maya: "Alright everyone! We hope you have enjoyed our performance so far, We are going to preform one last song before taking requests!"
"This song will be Sky's The Limit, I hope everyone enjoys"
"Are you ready, Maizono-chan?"

Sayaka: "Ever ready Maya-chan! Let's dazzle our audience!"

The two girls get up, and begin to perform
Song 6: youtu.be/VZNggQFyEew

During the performance, Maya begins her solo. It all appears to be going well, until for some reason Sayaka runs towards Maya and grabs her, pulling her away from the X mark on the floor, where they had practised
Maya: "Hey- What are you?-"

Magnus becomes tense.

Suddenly, the pyrotechnics activate unplanned and would have burned Maya, had Sayaka not moved her. Immediately after, some of the lights fall from the baton lighting. They landed exactly on the X mark
A loud crashing sound could be heard, once the lights hit the floor.

Maya: "Wh- wh- What the hell?"
Suddenly, the lights turn back on. You can see Akise standing at the lights

Contemplating what had just occurred, Maya faints.
As she does, Capt H and Natasha rush into the Main Hall.

H: "Is everyone alright? What happened here?"
One of the people sounded like the captain, that had spoken to them yesterday

"Apparently not..." Magnus smirks.

Sayaka sighs with relief.
“You’re okay...Maya?”

Maya is alive and unhurt, but unconscious.

Natasha: "Can someone tell me what just happened here?"

Sayaka then looks at the crowd.
“Can someone help me...? Get Maya to her room”

Natasha rushes over to Sayaka and Maya

H: "Everyone. What has happened here. Tell me at once."

Natasha: "What happened to her?"

Magnus rushes to the girls as well.

Sayaka: “She’s not hurt, just unconscious...the pyro came on and the lights fell..”

Chimon runs around. “What’s going ooon!!?” Chimon goes over to Sakaya and Maya
“Good thing the doc is here, right?”

Magnus looks at Chimon, then looks at Maya.

Natasha: "Jesus...Maya needs to be taken to the Nurses Office immediately!"

Magnus: "This girl will be alright. She just needs some rest".

“N-no...Y-you’re right...s-she just needs some rest...”
Sayaka has tears rolling down her face
“I...f-felt it...”
She whispered softly


Natasha: "Go keep an eye on her Magnus and make sure she's okay."

Chimon: “F-felt...?”

Magnus: "One more question. Who is that dude, standing over there, Ms. Petrov?"

H: "I believe the people here are..."
The captain looks around and counts everyone here


Sayaka then stares at the ground

Sayaka: “No...it’s...it’s nothing...
“I’ll...look after Maya...I don’t trust any...of...you...


H: "Alec, Magnus, Lt. Petrov, Chimon, Akise, Ace, Tody, Sayaka, Maya, and myself."

Magnus: "It's my job to take care of her. She'll be fine..."

Sayaka: “Then I will follow you...if you do anything to her...I’ll hunt you down...”
Sayaka said coldly, gone was her happy cheerful self

Magnus: "... calm down, or I'll make you calm*

Sayaka: “...I am calm....someone on this ships just tried to kill one of my friend...what if they did that to...Alec?”
She looks at Magnus

H: "Magnus stand down. This girl nearly witnessed her friend die in front of her. She is clearly emotionally distressed."

Chimon: “Can we all just simmer down?”

Magnus: "Let me remind you, sweet girl, that a demon had already possessed him once. After that case, it becomes too mundane".
"It's not like you will understand, but... Nevermind".

Chimon visibly looks puzzled.

Natasha: "Everyone please all calm down! We have this under control."

Sayaka: “You are such an asshole, who think you’re better than anyone....just do your own job or I’ll do that for you!”
Sayaka screamed and ran at Magnus

Chimon: “Wooah!”
Chimon ducks and covers

Natasha tries to get in between Sayaka and Magnus and tries to separate them.

H: "Listen everyone please let us think rationally now. Now is not the time for anger or malice."

Magnus looks calmly at her.

Sayaka was stopped by Natasha

Natasha: "Pls stop fighting you two! I will not allow any kind of violence between our passengers and crew."

Magnus: "I didn't even intend to fight her. It would be foolish, and it would be a violation".

Chimon: “What should the rest of us do then?”

Natasha turns towards Sayaka. "If you have any problems regarding any of our staff. You can address them to me. I can assure you however that Maya will be okay and that the safety of all our passengers and crew is our utmost priority."

Sayaka stares at Natasha and walks back to Maya and stays by her side

Chimon slunks shoulders, feeling useless.
“That’s okay Natasha, I’m sure she’ll come around.” Chimon talks low

"I hope so." Natasha replied and then she goes over to the stage and inspects the damage.

Chimon joins her

In the middle of the stage, there is a giant hole, with painted wooden planks slanted in and broken. Inside the hole, there are a group of lights that have fallen off the baton lighting

Chimon inspects the lights

The lights appear to be damaged from the fall, the glass has shattered and the metal has distorted, the clamp used looks to be loosened

Chimon sees if there’s any mechanical tools in this area
Chimon heads backstage and finds a toolbox, cordless drill & a set of wires

Natasha appears deeply concerned as she looks over the scene. She then turns to Chimon "I have a few questions for you. You were in charge of managing the stage equipment. Did you absolutely make sure everything was in working order and that nothing had been tampered with?"

“It didn’t look that way to me when I was using it earlier today. It seems to be tempered with.”
Chimon goes because, and to the best of their knowledge, starts working on the lights. Not to fix them, just to get a better understand of what happened.


Natasha keeps a close watch on Chimon as they are working on the lights.

[Ktoasty]

”And then?” He asks Chimon.

[Spell Craft]

"As for what happened after that, let's see..." Chimon ponders, trying to remember.

SPOILER: Click to show

{What Happened in Main Hall after Performance}
Chimon looks around for the nurse, who is not here.
"I have bandages, but I... don't know how to use them..."

Alec: "Ok let's try doing pressure on the wound with the bandages! That will keep them alive for some time, but we really need the Nurse! Can someone go call them?"

Chimon hands the bandages to Alec.
Then goes to call Nurse.
For some reason, the device I was using is malfunctioning and cannot contact other people.

Alec takes the bandages and tries to put pressure on the wound

Chimon calls out, "For some reason, the device I'm is using is malfunctioning and cannot contact other people!"

Alec looked at Chimon "I am sure the nurse is still in the performance room. I think someone should go there and call them!"
[The nurse has already left the main hall, and is in the nurse's office, probably.]

Chimon: "Maya, don't move. Alec, please, the bandages now!"
[Maya was not here, oops]
"Damn it! We might need a makeshift tourniquet."

Alec: "Do you know how to do it?"

"From books, not from experience" Chimon stresses.

Alec looked at Chimon "better than nothing. Start doing it please!"

Chimon: "Hold the bandages while I get s-something."

Alec: "I will!"

Chimon looks around for some rod, or long sterdy something.
Also looking for something like a belt or long cloth
"Take off your belt, Alec."

Alec: "I don't this is the time for this Chimon, plus I have a boyfriend!"

Chimon: "Use it to hold the bandages to the wound, tight for pressure, but let her breathe as well."

Alec looked at Chimon "Oh..." Alec takes off his belt and does exactly what Chimon had asked for

Chimon surveys the area to make sure it's safe to work in.

Natasha watches in shock as Cobra lays on the ground bleeding... "Jesus what the hell going on here!?!? You two keep them stable. I will try to see if I can contact the nurse." Natasha attempts to contact the nurse with her radio device.

A voice could be hard on the other side
???: "Hello, Lieutenant? What is the situation?"

Natasha: "Someone was just attacked in the Main Hall! They have a large gash on their chest and are bleeding! Chimon and Alec are at the scene treating them right now. Requesting immediate medical assistance at once!"

???: "Yes. I was there. The lights fell on som- wait what."
"What do you mean?"
"Everything was alright a moment ago."

Natasha: "It was until the lights suddenly went out for some reason. I heard noises and rushed over to see what was happening and the when flickered back on, we saw someone in a cobra mask lying on the floor bleeding. Just get back here at once!"

???: "Right. I will be over as fast as possible."

Natasha: "Godspeed."

[Evie The Bat]

Zane goes over what Chimon said and begins asking a few questions

"I noticed a few things that seemed strange in that retelling of the performance. The first being Maya and Sayaka's reaction to Ace entering the room. There was something strange about Sayaka and Magnus. They both acted like they knew something bad was going to happen before it did. Sayaka seemed to prevent it before it happened while Magnus tensed up as if preparing for it. Can you two or three explain all of this? While you're at it Magnus, what was it you said to Alec?"

Zane gives off a very accusatory tone

Onus flexes for no apparent reason. He has very old cuts all over his body, but they're difficult to see.

"Hello. I had an interesting night. Would you like to hear? I will tell you.

I hopped on the lovers bed because I was feeling frisky after peeing so much. It was a real shame that nobody showed up, so I left. I wandered a bit and found the Luxury deck. Naturally, I drank too much and made a mess of the place. Lots of glass everywhere. It hurted because I wasnt very careful. Oh well. I ignore some kind of thuddy thing? like a noise. On my way there I saw duke walking out of the captain's room and going south. Anyway, so as I ruin the deck I notice a chocolate cake. It didn't survive for long. I think it was magic, my wounds suddenly felt a lot better. My hunger remains unsated so I go to bake brownies. As I bake my brown whities clover comes in from staff lounge and goes north and biker joins to tell me I cant bake my dark-orangies. Balacava goes in the clover direction, man I could use some baklava. Duke and dali show up and leave at some point. I find ecidna in the library and offer them poopiecolouries. We hang out. Eventually I go off the lunge B to relax because I need some relaxing me time. But then I realize I've barely eaten tonight. So I see dali in the casino and duke eating in the dining area. I eat food like a normal person. I ate my soup with a knife and my sugar with black tar heroin. So the heroin sorta does like a thing to me...

AS A RESULT I AM NOW THE ELEVATOR KING. IT BELONGS TO ME, IT IS MY DOMAIN. NONE MAY PASS, NONE SHALL USE THE ELEVATOR OR TAKE IT FROM THE ELEVATOR K I N G, THE ELEVATOR L O R D, THE ELEVATOR G O D! THAT IS ME, INDEED IT IS. INDEED IT WAS, AND IN DEED IT. SHALL. BE. FOR NOW AND FOREVER. AMEN TO THE LORD, AND THE LORD BE ME.

Eventually someone pulls me out for this little talk here im not really sure whats going on but id like to get back to my heroin and elevator. It was quite cozy."

"Also some weirdo took like 3 pairs of handcuffs from the boxes room but nothing else seems off."

Zane stares at Onus with mostly anger

"Yeah you "hung out" with me. You attacked after offering those brownies to me. I would suspect you for this murder if it wasnt impossible for you to have commited it. Aside from attacking me, did anything suspicious or strange happen during your night as you seemed to do the most, boisterous things during the night. I'm guessing you're hiding some details from your alibi"

[Hoody]

“I have an idea to find the Kookaburra mask, I’ll name what mask that every civilian had from the start that we know from alibis. I had the Zebra, Kou had the Dingo, Sayaka had the Husky, Maya had the Cobra, and Onus had the Hyena. We don’t know the others(unless I forgot like an idiot) so we find out every civilian mask at the start of the night.”

[Evie The Bat]

Zane says

"I started with Echidna. I never swapped masks but I got mine removed by Hyena after I was attacked"

[superkirbystar]

"There's nothing really to explain. What I said to Alec was a rude remark about Maya and Sayaka, I won't lie that I didn't say it. I tensed up because I felt something weird was about to happen. It's like a sixth sense. All warlocks have it. I feel that Sayaka exudes lots of energy. It can explain why she as a mundane felt that something was about to happen."

[Evie The Bat]

Aug 20, 2020 13:38:35 GMT -6 Evie The Bat said:

Zane speaks up and says

"I guess I'll recount my night to see if it helps at all. I started my night with the Echidna mask.

A0-I was in the Aquarium. I saw the Clover mask go from the elevator to the staff room. Hyena came into the aquarium from the south and exited out the west. Lastly I saw Double A and Masquerade enter from the east and head south. I also decided to feed the fish since they looked hungry

A1-After a while Double A and Masquerade came back and left through the east. Hyena also ran from the VIP lounge to the stairs. I went to the museum next and saw Dingo leave the VIP lounge. I admired the art for a while ignoring Dingo.

A2-I do have a bit of a smoking habit so I tried to access the smoking area through the VIP lounge. My key card didnt work however as it wasnt Gold. I then went to teh library to read so i could relax.

A3-While I was reading I noted the time being 20:35 or 8:35 pm. There was a loud noise and Hyena came in with brownies. I did eat some which I now regret. I ran to the bathroom after around 20 minutes.

A4-After using the bathroom, I was attacked by hyena on my way out. I do not know exactly what happened but I do know it was not something I'd like to recount in detail and I lost my mask afterward.

A5-I managed to escape and hid in my room to really think about what the hell happened.

A6-I was in my cabin when I heard the announcement to stay in our cabins. My curiosity got the better of me and I went to the Main Hall and saw Cobra's body.

As for my investigation, I checked out the stage and backstage. The stage looked recently used and the lights were still hot. There was a hole in the stage where a light had fallen. There was what appeared to be a marking as to where it landed. Backstage I found a toolbox, cordless power drill, a roll of cables and wires and some nuts and bolts. Under the toolbox I found a green keycard that was snapped in half."

Zane repeats his alibi as seen above

"Around the time of the murder I was recuperating from Onus's attack"

[Hoody]

“So Tody attacked Flynn with The Kookaburra mask then? Now why would Tody attack Flynn and steal his KeyCard?”

[Evie The Bat]

Zane thinks for a moment before saying two things

"Maybe Tody was the one who sabotaged the lights. They couldve tried to kill or injure someone. Mightve even been a traitor. There is one other thing I have to ask. Magnus what mask did you have when you left the room with Sayaka?"

[superkirbystar]

"I don't know."

[Hoody]

“I think I realize why no one saw Kookaburra, or Tody, after he hit them, he rushed up, and changed his mask to Octopus, and probably messed up the lights to fall, and set the cleaver in the tool box, then at some point they traded masks with Cobra, at that also explains the 8 masks, because Kookaburra was traded out with Octopus. Now, is there someone who had Cobra who traded masks with an Octopus.”

[Panda]

Alec looked at everyone!

"I decided to remain in the Main Hall to investigate, about 15 minutes into searching, one of the passengers, Cobra, claimed they were going to go to the bathroom. I paid no mind investigating, and suddenly I heard footsteps like someone was running? In a flash, the lights turned off, and a screeching roared throughout the main hall, followed by a loud THUD noise. I ran over to where the lights were, but it’s so dark. As I thought I was near the lights, my foot slips on something… I turned back the lights and looked around and saw Cobra, lying on the floor, trying to keep the blood in, as a massive gash across their chest bleeds out."

[mao]

OOC alibi + invest because Mao is a busy boy.

A0: VIP Lounge, saw Husky

A1: VIP Lounge, Husky runs off >>> On the way to the Casino, saw Echidna walk into Museum > Casino (30 minutes)

A2: Casino (30 minutes) >>> Viewing Room 1

A3: Sauna

A4: Sauna

A5: On the way to Library, saw Zebra in Aquarium >>> Library, Zebra walks in and eats Alu's (?) cookies, runs to the Bathroom

A6: I return to my room and hear following announcement: “Attention All Staff & Passenger. There has been an unrelated incident at the Main Hall. Could all passengers please return to their cabins, and all staff members attend the Main Hall as soon as possible.”

Note: Oops, I did remember there was indeed an announcement. The announcement told me to stay in my cabin, so that's what I did. Not sure if the B-Discovery thread mentioned this, but I was sleeping while y'all were meeting in the main hall after action phase.

Invest: Kitchen - Nothing worthwhile, room was almost untouched except SOMEONE baked some goody brownies, there's a box of laxatives in the trash, there is no missing equipment. Meat cleaver had to come from somewhere else, if that was not already established!
