Day 2: The Motives

[pandatrash]

[Your first "chillaxin day" comes and goes. No exits are found, no help has come, no real explanations are given. But all of a sudden, the tablets reboot and start showing... a spreadsheet. Well, that's something, at least.]

[Tycoon is out in full force today, dashing up to everyone he meets and handing each of them a cute envelope with their name written on the front in crayon. If they should look inside, they'll find their murder carrot written there, as well as, "FOR YOUR EYES ONLY." If your character is one of the ones who has no bribe for which they would kill an innocent person, they will instead find a picture of dickbutt, but with their own face crudely drawn on it, and helpful "DIS U" with an arrow, just in case the point was missed.]

((🔪 Setting
🔪 If you haven't filled out the character list and IC profiles yet, please do that. Until those are done, we have the aforementioned spreadsheet the raccoons are still fixing their tablet software, okay).
🔪 Trust sheets are due Sunday, 6pm PST
🔪If you decide to drop but would like to play out a death scene, you can comment here to volunteer to die.
🔪 We had two last-minute drops: Hiyoko, who did not intro, and Kaito, who would like to retcon having intro'd. The original sign still said 32... well, lbr, raccoons aren't that good at counting.

[Early in the morning, even before Tycoon can get to him, Akechi takes a book from the library to the kitchen. Once there, he fills a deep cooking pot up with cooking oil and lights up a burner on the stove. Lighting the book aflame, he drops it in the pot, which he then picks up with some adorable oven mitts and brings back to the library, along with a couple more bottles of oil wedged under his arms.

Once there, he begins methodically setting bookshelves on fire, one after the next, humming to himself the entire time.]

[worldcup]

What exactly are you doing?

[afailedmurder]

[somewhere between cheerful and manic:]

I'm burning down the library. You ought to steer clear. It's already starting to get smokey in here.

[pandatreasure]

Hey, hey, HEY!

[more than a few bookshelves are already actively smoldering by the time Raquelle storms in, stomping and waving her little arms around.]

Hey, you little prick, what's the big deal over here?!

[afailedmurder]

Oh, hello there. I'm burning down the library.

[splashes some oil around]

[flamingprick]

Hey!

[Yeah he's going over to Akechi to try and grab him to stop him. He doesn't seem at all worried about the fire currently in Akechi's hands btw.]

Watch what you're doing, that's dangerous!

[afailedmurder]

[Pauses what he's doing and turns to look at Rin]

Yes, you're absolutely right. For your own safety, I'd advise that you leave before the flames start to affect the structure of the room.

[cw_suicide]

[... well, thank fuck he already pulled his book.

grabbing the arsonist by the scruff of his collar.]

My! What an extreme reaction!

[afailedmurder]

[Looking rather irritated at being grabbed, but making no aggressive moves.]

It's very cathartic. You should give it a try.

[fineprinted]

[ NOT HIS PRECIOUS LIBRARY ]

Wh-Wh-WH--

What are you doing?!

[afailedmurder]

[getting a little tired of answering that question]

I thought I'd check out a book. This is the first step in the process, yes?

[eternalballad]

[ Why are you people like this. ]

[afailedmurder]

[don't ask]

Stand clear, please! There's a—

[cough, cough]

A fire in here!

[respendent]

[ Hiyori is going to hang back in the doorway and see if he can pick out the tune. he's not going any closer though, obviously? there's fire in there. ]

[afailedmurder]

[Probably not! But congratulations on having the sense not to run into a burning room.]

[wolfsbaneandtears]

[Is totally going to swing by once the fire suppression system triggers, with some paper towels held in front of her mouth and nose]

You know, you could have removed some of the books if you wanted to test if everyone would notice a fire. Or is this a 'go big or go home' sort of thing?

[afailedmurder]

[just kind of standing around in the foam]

Do all of you people really care more about books than your own freedom?

[liveronhersleeve]

Well that's not a suspicious course of action.

[Not that she cares particularly about books for their own sake, but well - libraries are full of information. If he's going out of his way to destroy it...]

[maege]

[after the fire's actually been put out, leeeaaning in from the safety of just outside the doorway:]

Wow, okay, guess this is just the kinda day this is gonna be.

[glaaances this way and that to anyone around]

Off to a great start, aren't we?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

You honestly couldn't make it 36 hours in before having a mental breakdown.

[amateurs]

[cluelesscavewoman]

[She's doing her normal routine of running when she notices the flames.

She runs straight into the room. Kicking the door open.]

It is dangerous, please vacate the area.

[Completely ignoring that he set the fire.]

[suppressthedark]

[WHAT THE FUCK AKECHI HE THOUGHT YOU WERE COOL

Yeah, he doesn't really come until after the fire's been put out (he was writing in his notebook at the time), but he sure does look MIGHTY FUCKING SHOCKED AND MAD.]

What the hell?! Who did this?!

[purrtagonist]

[practically pitching forward onto his face as he skids into a halt in front of the library, just kind of. watching everything that transpires, expression slack, eyes wide]

[and then--]

-- Akechi what the hell?!

[claiomhsolais]

Yeah! Down with the institution! Stick it to the man!

[Did you need a personal cheerleader/protester, Akechi? Now you have one.]

[theyregooddogs]

[Will was coming to heat up lukewarm instant coffee but will instead follow the trail of smoke to its natural conclusion, staying back from the crowd and taking a few sips of coffee. Once the foam turns on, Will starts to head off now that all questions have been answered.]
