Yeah, I don't know how I feel about it being entirely random, either. That's a little too convenient. But there's no way to prove it either direction right now. [He'll shrug, reaching into the box to pull out... a coin? Weird. He'll flick it into the air for a second, catch it, and then tuck it right into one of his pockets for now.]
I have one guy that might decide to come bang down the door if he's feeling extra sour. Thankfully, he's almost always sour as it is, so I don't think he'll care enough most of the time. Besides, if he causes you guys trouble, I'll be more than happy to chew him out.
Well... whether this was truly random or intentional, I hope that the four of us can get along. It will help us all sleep a little easier at night if we are friends, will it not?
[She takes a moment to consider Steph's question, then shakes her head.]
I believe that anyone who would come looking for me would knock first.
[ he's whipped, isn't he. though, about sleeping well at night... ]
The locks obviously only match our respective keys, but do we know that they're impervious to other methods of trying to get in? The ones in the last place we were at very much weren't when it came down to it, so...
Yeah, it was the same with the temple. Pretty much everything would unlock after a certain point, so if someone was out when they weren't supposed to, there wasn't a whole lot any of us could do about it. If we really are just repeating events, then I don't expect that door to stay secure forever
[A beat. He exhales, running a hand against the back of his neck.]
Man... for as different as some of our situations were, it's still kind of unsettling to hear the similarities.
Sounds about right. We were all immediately locked into whatever room we were currently in at the time when the clock struck 11, and like clockwork all immediately lost consciousness at 12, even if we don't normally have to sleep at all.
We also later learned that at 12, all the doors automatically unlocked, so anyone still awake had free reign of the house.
...Same here, actually, though we didn't have any warning. Once it hit a certain time of night, we all just dropped wherever we were. Unless someone specifically had a power or an item to keep them awake, no one ever woke up until sometime the next morning. It was always on the day someone was found dead, too. Any other time, we could come and go as we pleased, and sleep whenever we felt like it.
[THIS WON'T STOP BEING CREEPY OKAY????]
Our "hosts" this time didn't mention anything about a curfew, did they?
Nine hours, a chance to examine the body, and visit the relevant locations. They weren't properly visible the day prior, and if, for example, a room was completely destroyed then we simply got a few traces of it being damaged. And that's only if you were one of a few arbitrarily decided persons to arrive on the scene- everyone else saw absolutely nothing out of place.
Same on every point except that part about trace evidence. Those that we'd lost would be out in frosted caskets the day prior, but there was nothing we could do to see what had happened in any way until the trial had started the next day. All the rooms were normal and we couldn't see exactly what had happened to the bodies through the glass.
We didn't vote for individuals in our trials, so self-votes were out of the question... but abstaining definitely got people killed more than once.

[ maybe. ]
Do any of you have people who would come barging in here?

No, I don't think there's anyone who would do that for me.

Or I'll tell him to shoo.

Did all of you drift off to sleep at about the same time each week, even if you were not tired beforehand?
no subject
So you wouldn't accidentally stumble on a murder. It makes it easier to get away with it, I guess.

It is... unsettling, to be made to sleep when you are not tired.

[ a pause ]
How was trials for you guys? I... am assuming we all had them. Nine hours, you got to check out the body, and if you didn't vote you were punished?
no subject
And yes, no self votes, no abstainee votes.
