Flicker: The Forum Game

"...is there even a lock? It could be on the outside."

Silas shrugs. "Let's find out!" He carefully inspects the door to see if there's any kind of locking mechanism accessible from this side.

I know Failure Is the Only Option here, but that's metagame knowledge Silas doesn't have :p

"Picking locks is illegal, but in this case, it seems like the only option. You may pick the lock."

"Well, forcing people to murder each other's illegal too, y'know!"

"That's why I said it is the only option."

“ Is there any food here? Maybe we could have a civilized dinner?”

Darwin looks for food.

...does this place even have doors to the outside world? The closest thing is that elevator over there.. [points at 2 elevators near the hall where we are at].. and that staircase nearby. Not sure if the elevators are working, and the staircase doesn't exactly lead to an exit. So yeah, it might be hard to escape from here, but at least we can try.

“ Maybe the doors open and we can leave once we kill the murderer!”

[Sho glares.] "Don't play dumb. You're the one who brought us here! There's no way you're actually gonna help us escape, are ya?"

I'm seriously clueless here.

"No, you're not! You brought us here so that you could force us to kill each other! Ask the fish over there, he said so!" [Sho points one of his katanas at Darwin.]

"Now, now, don't jump to conclusions. You know as much as everyone else does, and I doubt the person who brought us here is even with our group."

....look I seriously don't know. I was also brought here probably via the teleportation...thingy and woke up earlier than you guys. Those starting words of "Welcome to a game of Flicker"? ....that was from a script. That's it. I've only managed to read that part.

"Hmm, a script? Can I see it?"

Sure. [Tory then grabbed a piece of crumpled paper from their pocket.] Not too sure as to why I would have to read this thing.

[Sho grumbles to himself.]

“ I never said it was her fault! I was on her side!”

"Alright. Also, I get this strange feeling that someone named "Sylvia" is somehow linked to me...

What do I find in the script?

also, is that role revealing

The script reads some of the dialogues used in the actual game.

also dw it's subtle enough that it won't reveal it too much

"Hmm, there doesn't seem to be much useful information in here... Tell me, why were you reading this?"

Apparently, I was assigned the role of a host, which means I try to make sure the game won't spiral into some messed up madness. I'm not technically a player here, I suppose.

[Sho looks over to read the script himself.] "Does that say 'good and bad side'? So not only is there some crackhead forcing us to kill each other, they've got friends..."

"Well, that means you're working with whoever is running this game. Am I correct?"

Not here, I guess. There's only the murderer crackhead person.. for now. Let's just hope that that murderer isn't good at convincing someone that they're innocent.
