The game kicked off with the announcement of the 16 members brave enough to face the challenge of ICB, but before the first task could even get underway, a late entrant in a Hulk costume from ASDAWalmart appeared at the front door, not acknowledging any of his fellow players, and mysteriously uttering “life in the city” every so often. Another eight weeks passed while the detectives failed to decide on who would be best for team leader (despite ukturtle’s best efforts at getting noticed) and eventually Shaun got pissed off with the wait, causing Saul to hurriedly choose Joan.
The first task required Joan to number the players from 1-17, with the first 5 needed to be interrogated on a series of questions concerning the game, divided into different sections. Unbeknownst to Joan, one of these numbers would put a detective in a very awkward position. Once this had been sorted, some of the older, “classier” members of the group began to discuss coffee flavoured vodka, with Shaun threatening to cancel the game for the second time already due to being more of a Ribena person. The mysterious late entrant, whose name was later revealed as Aiden, kicked off the task with a terrible attempt at answering some questions on the history of the game. The other members who were online at the time fully encouraged this, each secretly dreaming of watching Joan die painfully.
Joan was the next to be interrogated, and had the job of answering who said which Bowie song was their favourite. Unsurprisingly, only a handful of detectives had answered this properly, resulting in Joan getting absolutely none right. After that, it was Destiny’s turn to guess who had said what in their application about tactics. Despite being sassier than the entire forum put together, it was evident that Destiny wasn’t too clever, confusing things that fellow detectives Tina, Damien, Kara, Iris, Harriet, Robert, Faye and Ethan had said. At this point, the majority of the team were already feeling suicidal due to the appalling score they had so far, but nonetheless they continued.
Georgia was given a similar task as she attempted to decipher who had said what about their killing techniques. She managed to get only a relatively decent score, but after the previous 3 travesties, Georgia came out of the task looking like a hero to the rest of the group. One other person was after Georgia but it was more of the same; fails flying left, right and centre. Shaun had grown increasingly bored of the task and the group had failed, meaning Joan was automatically facing isolation.
As always, the group panicked about who would be sent with Joan, with some claiming it was “definitely going to be them” and some blaming others on the failure of the task. It was a tense and unfriendly period of waiting, whilst some members who had been absent logged in for the first time to see what had happened. Although most of them were too drunk to even understand what was happening. Before the second person going to isolation was announced, the conversation amongst the group once again turned to alcohol, making the place look more like an AA meeting than a group of detectives discussing a potential killer.
What felt like years passed, as random members came in to discuss that fat guy from The Chase and some other crap, until Shaun finally revealed that it was Tina who would be heading to isolation with Joan. Joan claimed it was purely random, but Joan was known for being a compulsive lying little slut. To add to that, Tina had been insulting members of the group who liked to drink, and Joan fit that category very well. She’s been shot twice already, but for some reason continued to pursue a dangerous career.
While Tina arrived at a closed hotel, feeling rather optimistic, Joan was taken to a derelict hospital in the west. She searched around for a bit, but shortly after the killer strangled the living crap out of her and there was nothing she could do. It was all over for Joan, and Tina was safe this time. Tina entered a bedroom suite to find an envelope, which contained a post-it note with just the letter X. Such a vague clue at this stage didn’t mean much, but Tina returned to the group to tell them what she had discovered.
As she returned to the building, she was met with the voice of the killer, telling her to come with them. The killer attacked her before she could even get anywhere. The innocent detectives, not in the mood for coffee vodka or The Chase any longer, were tied up and sat in fourteen individual chambers, with a wooden chest in front of them. Tina soon remembered she was the fifteenth person on the list.
The innocent detectives had all opened their chests to find nothing, and afterwards all of them watched what was happening to Tina. Tina had a box of her own, which the killer demanded she opened. As she did however, the detectives all witnessed her being shot, before the feed ended. Not expecting such a twist early on, the detectives were all distraught, but at the same time very appreciative of the excellent language used in Shaun’s description. No one actually bothered to discuss the clue as a group yet, but it was clear that behind the scenes certain members of the group had been working overtime to work out the clue.
I personally believe the second Killer is Marc, because he has evil eyes.
