Week 1 [Day 1-Day 3]



[After a long stressful day like this has been, maybe you want to curl up in bed and try to sleep this whole thing off, or maybe you stay up all night desperately trying to find a way out of this town. Whether it be asking the cops for help, trying to steal a car, or just simply trying to walk out of town, you will unfortunately find your attempts to escape fruitless.

Even with it being obvious something strange is going on, no one has shown their face yet to even hint that they're the ones behind it. And you have no idea if or when they will.

However, in the very least you have a whole town to explore, and at the start of each day, and the beginning of every night, no matter where you are, you'll suddenly hear a radio crackle to life. Whether this is comforting or unsettling? Well, that's up to you to decide.

Just have a good time and try not think about the letter you got earlier, okay?]


< LOCATIONS | REGAINS | TAKEN >

[ DAY 1 (SUNDAY) || NIGHT 1 (MONDAY) || DAY 2 (TUESDAY) || NIGHT 2 (WEDNESDAY) || DAY 3 (THURSDAY) ]

((OOC: Welcome to Week 1 of Hotline! As you can probably tell by the fact that Day 2 and beyond are frozen, we will have no grace week so we can get right into the murder!

And if you want to investigate the town, you just need to write INVESTIGATION in your header! Have fun ;) ))

...Oh, that's not fair.
iote: (04.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-14 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Then I suggest you defeat me.
rangerslayer: (➻ i know i need to feel released)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-14 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
So that's how you play... [ There's a smirk on her lips, and she lets out a small laugh. ] Okay. I'll have to find some other way to get it out of you.
iote: (07.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-14 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Perhaps.

[...It likely goes without saying that you're going to kick his ass.]
rangerslayer: (we are breathing and letting go)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-14 06:07 am (UTC)(link)
You'll see.

[ Oh, she is absolutely going to kick his ass. ]
iote: (04.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-14 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
[All right, that...was a pretty solid, handwaved asskicking there, jesus. He may have been embarrassed if it was something he were actually good at, but...well. For now he's just kind of amused.]

I suppose you still want to know about Lena?
rangerslayer: (and you had best believe)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-14 04:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She stretches, not really basking in her victory, but more the fact that she's gotten to do this again. It's been...awhile. ]

Yeah, I do. But only if you want to tell it. It'd go against the bet, otherwise.
iote: (04.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-14 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Qualifications, primarily.

[...yep.]

I informed her that I thought she would be a satisfactory ruler, and I told her the reasons why. I also admitted that I wanted to keep her wisdom and beauty to myself. I told her that I wouldn't lie to her and say that I was in love with her, because it seems pointlessly cruel to lie about such things, but that overall it would be for the benefit of the country.
rangerslayer: (you think i'll apologize)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-14 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[ buddy

...buddy, oh my god ]


Really? [ She takes a moment to cover her face with her hand and then shrug helplessly. ] Well, if that's how you went about it, of course she said no.
iote: (02.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-14 09:43 pm (UTC)(link)
As I said, it was a fair rejection. However, I imagine it would have been worse for both of us if I'd lied about loving her; I'm capable of many things, but that isn't one of them.
rangerslayer: (➳ but i believe nothing that i'm told)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well, of course that would've been less than ideal... [ She casts him a slightly puzzled look. ] You don't mean you haven't fallen in love before. Do you?
iote: (03.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-15 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't, but I meant more that I don't believe myself capable of lying to people about loving them. That seems low.
rangerslayer: (take care to tell me on for the cause)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
It is, you're right there. ...It's incredibly low.

I suppose...I'm not familiar with royal practices. It sounds like a horrible proposal, but are marriages of convenience more...common, in those?
iote: (03.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-15 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Some are fortunate enough to love someone that would be acceptable for them to marry. Some do it for the sake of mergers or other conveniences. I suppose it depends on how fortunate one is.

I don't know whether my parents married for love or convenience; I never asked. I hear the ruler of Altea is interested in someone for love. I currently have no one that I would be interested in pursuing.
rangerslayer: (➳ and you had best believe)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well...for love or not, you went about it all wrong. Giving her compliments was a good idea, but saying you wanted to keep her beauty and smarts to herself? A bit of a warning sign. She may have been the kind of woman who wanted to find love herself.

I'm sure these are things you've gone over yourself, or thought about.
iote: (04.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-15 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't take the rejection out on her, if that's what you suspect happened.
rangerslayer: (➳ take care to tell it just as it was)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
I don't. But I can't imagine she saw it coming.
iote: (02.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-15 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Lena didn't fear anything about me. It's why I asked her in the first place - I like those that don't.

Either way, I wasn't angry with her. I do understand her feelings regarding it; she refused, and we both let it go. That's all.
rangerslayer: (no one tells us what is hard and is fair)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
...Most people fear you? Is it your...

[ Hm. ]

...attitude?
iote: (04.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-15 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Most people, when speaking to the ruler of their country, possess at least some fear of offending them. Now imagine how it must be for those believing they're speaking to the second coming of their people's savior.

I don't mind it if they fear me. But it's interesting to me when they don't.
rangerslayer: (and i'll go anywhere but there)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
...So they treat you like...a sort of god, unable to say their real opinions out of fear. Is that it?
iote: (04.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-15 04:55 am (UTC)(link)
Something like that.
rangerslayer: (➳ take care to tell it just as it was)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Do people seem to be afraid of you here too?
iote: (02.)

[personal profile] iote 2019-06-15 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you certainly aren't.
rangerslayer: (can you steady all the hands that you ho)

[personal profile] rangerslayer 2019-06-15 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
I meant besides me.

You're grouchy, but not scary.
