13-14; Ain't No Party Like A Murder Party
You're on a boat, a really big boat, the kind that might run into an iceberg. Don't worry that's not happening this time, the Deities have something a little different in store to make this ship party the best (worst) party their citizens have ever had. It's like a murder mystery game but with actual murders. [Death Exemption will apply to this event, stay tuned for more information!]

This voyage is not so bon. Once everyone is settled into their rooms each and every guest receive a discrete letter from a friend sent via the Network.

My Dear ________,

There is not much time. There is a way out of this City. The price is so simple. You must take a life. That is the trick. This is a place without death. Your selected person(s) will revive without harm like always. The so called deities give you this moral dilemma. They think you will shrink away. We are forced to play their game. All this time we have been tricked. Every death is another chance. Every chance is another step home.

Now is your chance.

I understand how this seems unbelievable. This is sent to you and you alone. I know that you are smart and won't dismiss important information. I have seen you and your strife. We all make mistakes. Don't let this be one of them!

I cannot say more. Tell no one. This is your chance and your chance alone. Do everything in your power to keep this a secret.

It's crazy enough to work. What other options do Citizens have? With so many guests on the ship, it is anyone's game! Anyone's! There are so many guests trapped together. This is a matter of life and death. Kill or be killed!

This post can be used to organize targets. There can be two-way arrangements like Person A and Person B who wants to get at Person C. This is a two day event, why not have more than one target? "Dead" characters of Saturday revive at 11:59pm to be in on the action for Sunday. NPCs are targets as well as out to get their own way out targeting their own victims. The stakes are high in this game of death. All participants must have a target and must be a target to someone else. Even if their eyes are not on the prize, this is the great opportunity for revenge, for blood, for blowing off steam and not claiming responsibility for your actions! It just would not be a murder party without so much opportunity you see. After a character is slain, your anonymous friend so helpfully will provide another through the device. Their coding is very efficient and unhackable by anyone else. They so nicely scramble the GPS setting to prevent technology from aiding the murder spree.

Characters are encouraged to keep their dirty deeds discrete. The Deities don't know about the letter or the content. Better not draw attention to yourself or your actions! Wait until the target alone, it is a big, big ship. Or better yet make it look like an accident. She really shouldn't keep her hair dryer so close to the bathtub. And wasn't he always clumsy? Who would have known you could fall into a knife more than once?

...what's the harm to it? Not like anyone is really dying now so there is no real crime...right?
