Day 10 - NEW FEAR'S EVE

[pandatrash]

THREE! TWO! ONE! HAPPPPPY NEW FEAR!

This is the last raccoon holiday for a while, so if you'd like a vacation from this murder game before the KILLING NIGHT, check your tablets! We'll even let you leave the campus, so you'd better praise our generosity!

[There's a new app on the tablets that cannot be removed. It will only activate when you are alone in your room, but click the cute carrot icon and you'll be given a simple prompt: "TAKE A VACATION?" with yes/no prompts. If you click "no," nothing happens; the app simply closes, ready for you to click on it again. But if you choose "yes," you'll become a bit lightheaded, and the next thing you know, you'll be back home. But not just any home: The home in which your murder carrot(s) (the best one, the newest one, or maybe even both of them? It's up to player discretion) has already been made reality. You'll be there for a full three hours before you're brought back to Nope's Peak, holding the tablet as if you never left. After that, the app will only say, "You know what to do."]

By the way, if it ain't obvious, that killing night is tonight! If you're thinking about doing a murder, rest assured: We will NOT let the dead mess up a trial like that again!

[In other news, the science lab has been restocked, and the raccoons made a HUGE mess eating out of the kitchen trash, like worse than usual.]

[Ichigo looks pretty emotionally tired, but he's going to come up to Baxter in the Cafeteria and gently pet him.]

Hey, Will-san. How're you doing?

[theyregooddogs]

Fine. Did you take a trip?

[suppressthedark]

[He pauses, taking in a breath and letting it out slowly.]

...Yeah. I did.

Did you?

[theyregooddogs]

I was curious.

[suppressthedark]

Seems kind of unfair to ask that and not answer mine.

[Puppy kisses are definitely helping right now, though.]

[theyregooddogs]

[Baxter can give all the kisses while also being a bit squirmy. What if play and kisses?]

[but will snorts at that] You can take that to mean "yes".

[suppressthedark]

[He's pretty sure Will wouldn't like roughhousing, so - he'll just grab the ball and send it off. Go get the ball, Baxter!]

Mmm.

[Eloquent.

He pauses, and then -]

How do you think they did it?

[Sent them on a trip, he means.]

[theyregooddogs]

[No, Will does not. Baxter runs for the ball, tumbles over it, tries a couple times to get it in his tiny mouth then starts dashing back.]

In all honesty? They implanted false memories that would be triggered by that specific sequence of events.

[suppressthedark]

False memories? How would they be able to do that?

[theyregooddogs]

It's sophisticated. It requires a number of sessions, specific drug therapy, and someone with enough skill to not be detected. —But it's not impossible.

[suppressthedark]

That would've taken time...but it's not like we know exactly when we were taken here. They've been pretty careful about not letting us actually know what date and year it is.

[theyregooddogs]

Mm. While is it could be useful and certainly interesting information, can you see any purpose to knowing it, Ichigo?

[suppressthedark]

If we knew, we might be able to figure out how long we've been here - not just for the days we've been awake. Plus, it might give us some insight into how they're able to do this.

[Like if it's 200-300 years in the future or something like that.]

[theyregooddogs]

Again, does any of that help us with the situation we're in now?
