ROOK RULEBOOK

[retellers]

the rook On Thursday, at 1pm, Blanca will receive a message on his PHS. It'll be a bit of a trek, but please head to the castle now. I'll make it worth your while. ☆ Oh, and don't tell anyone. Upon receiving this message, Blanca will notice that the castle appears closer than usual. Should he head towards it, he will finally be able to reach its entrance. Inside is a large hall with various doors, along with a staircase, but he will be able to access only a single door. Once he steps inside, he will find his Leader waiting for him. After their meeting is over and he leaves the castle, he will no longer be able to reach the castle again. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ As the Rook: Every Thursday, the Rook will be given the chance to stay awake on Thursday night. They can select up to a certain number of locations, depending on the week, and the order in which to check them. Any area bolded in the Locations page is an option, but note that implicit locations, such as the river, can be selected as well. The mods will inform the player of what can be found at a glance (if anything) at the chosen locations, depending on the timing. From there, the character can choose to do nothing or take one of the following actions: ★ They can investigate an area of the scene further, if they believe more evidence to be hidden. ★ They can choose a piece of evidence to examine. They will receive a hint of what the evidence was involved in. ★ They can alter the scene, whether this means adding evidence or removing evidence (or any other misc. action). The total number of specific actions the Rook can take that night will depend on how many locations they originally chose to investigate, with fewer locations meaning more actions—they have only so many hours to check things out, after all! Therefore, the Rook will have to choose between increasing the likelihood of finding anything at all versus being able to take more actions should they succeed. If they come across the murder as it occurs, they will not be able to interfere, nor will they see the culprit's identity clearly. Likewise, the culprit will not be aware of the Rook's presence. ༶•┈┈⛧┈｡o°✥✣ 　　 ✣✥°o｡┈⛧┈┈•༶ Additional notes: The Rook will be allowed to ask questions about the on-goings of the game and communicate with their Leader in their weekly meetings. They may receive small hints should they perform well. However, the information received will be up to their Leader's discretion.

FOX

[retellers]

[ Fox is here to answer any questions. ]

[papasha]

[He offers Fox a small, but somewhat knowing smile. But that's it.]

[truthisms]

[ thank god blanca hates fox or else yesterday i would've had to awkwardly get around the fact that icly unmasking would've happened by now

looking very tired now that he can't hide his eyes, he just gives blanca a polite smile back? bye ]

[papasha]

[LMAO STOP HE DOESN'T HATE HIM he's just wary like any fox should be]

You could have covered your head if you honestly didn't want me to see. I wouldn't have questioned it.

[truthisms]

[ he blinks once, looking a little unfocused, before a dry note enters his tone. ]

That seems excessive.

[papasha]

I don't know. Is it really excessive if keeping your identity is important to you?

[truthisms]

[ it takes fox a few moments to respond.

cheerfully, ]

You're poking at this quite a bit for someone who got what he wanted.

[papasha]

Did I, if I was fine never knowing? It's just a bit funny, the way some things work.

My apologies for teasing you.

[truthisms]

[ another pause. as he moves away from the wall and heads to the coffee machine—]

Well, it's about what I expected from you. ♪

[papasha]

[He watches Fox.]

Do you know if it means anything? What happened to you all. [A pause.] Are you feeling all right?

[truthisms]

[ lightly, ]

No one has reported any adverse physical effects.

[ he grabs a cup. ]

Who knows? You're all cooperating and organizing with one another so well—maybe the Realm has accepted that we're not needed by this point.

[papasha]

I'm not exactly worried as much about the physical effects as the other ones, Fox.

[He frowns.]

You're still a part of all of this, though. You benefit just as much as the rest of us. Does this mean you've lost your previous connection to the Realm? In what you're able to do.

[truthisms]

[ the cup slips from fox's grip, shattering when it hits the floor. he just stares at the pieces blankly like he's not sure what to do now.

well. anyway. ]

... No need to worry about that. We still have our connection. So far, it doesn't seem as though anything's changed besides the new dress policy, or lack thereof...

[papasha]

Fox?!

[He looks slightly startled, and then a bit more worried. Without really hesitating, he moves over to put a hand on Fox's shoulder to step him back from thr shards.]

Did someone curse you...?

[truthisms]

I'm fine! I'm fine.

[






and then he just kind of fuckin faints ]

[papasha]

[?!?!?!

WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!

Blanca will catch him?! JESUS. He looks extremely fucking concerned!!!]

Fox? Fox!

[Patpatpatpat to the face.]

[truthisms]

Wh...?

[ he eventually blinks awake?? looking kind of disoriented, though. also, why the fuck are you still here blanca, you could've left?

after a few moments, he'll move away, albeit groggily. ]

... My apologies for startling you.

[ anyway, time to get up now! ]

[papasha]

[Wtf. Oh no you don't! He reaches out to grab Fox gently by the non busted arm.]

Fox. Were you cursed? Is this because of what happened, or...?

Please tell me what's going on, and then let me take you somewhere to rest.

[truthisms]

Nope, and nope!

[ said cheerfully, though more forced-sounding than usual because he just woke up from fainting. pls let go now ]

It's nothing that'll interfere with what's to come, so please don't worry about it.

[papasha]

It's too late for that. I'm worrying.

[And he's frustrated by the dismissal. :\ So he is just going to

fucking pick Fox up in a bridal carry. Fox'll just have to hit him, or something, he doesn't care. He at least tries to put him in a damn chair? He blocks most of the chance of getting up by squatting right in front of Fox's knees with both hands on either side of the chair.]

Why are you being so stubborn? Do you believe just because I was wary of everything from the beginning, I don't have any compassion for what happens to you? You're still my leader.

[truthisms]

H-Hey—!?

[ HE CAN'T EVEN HIT BLANCA ONE OF HIS ARMS IS BROKEN

also is blanca basically chair-kabedoning him. is this a thing that is happening right now? why. fox pauses for a long while. ]

... I assure you, it has nothing to do with you.

[papasha]

[Yeah, the jock himbo is kabedoning Fox in the office chair.]

Then what does it have to do with? You can keep it to yourself, if that's what you decide, but know tomorrow I will tell one of the others so they will come check on you instead.

[truthisms]

[ this is terrible. ]

Tomorrow is Friday, Blanca-san.

[papasha]

I know. There is Sunday.

[He gives Fox a look.]

You're not going to tell me, are you?

[truthisms]

... I told you, it's nothing. I just have trouble sleeping, sometimes. [ said lightly, though he still sounds almost pained to even say that much. ] You're making mountains out of molehills.
