[Fin] Murder in the Mountains 2: Everyone heads off to a beach somewhere (END)

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Ain't gonna lie to ya, Thamantha! I thought I wath gonna die wherever it wath they took me! But it wath juth a nightmare! Wath I really gone for dat long? Doethn't matter! I'm here and ith gonna take more than dat to bring me down! We got any more killerth yet?

[PointMaid]

After Yoshiko, who you know about, we caught Liz, who was also part of this Death cult. Unfortunately, earlier today we voted for Cass, but she was innocent.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Whoa! Can't believe Liz wath one of 'em I had my thuthpithionth and all, but she theemed cool. Wath hopin' she wathn't, but dath the bad thing. Who you think are your friendth could very well be a cultith! And Cath.... dang! Don't worry, we're gonna get da lath one! We're not goin' down dat eathily! You hear me, Death? We're gonna find dat lath one and 'em up like a cow fresh outta da farm! Long ath all of uth ith thill around, WE'RE... NOT... GOIN'... DOWN... DAT... EASILY!

Tyson proceeds to give a loud roar of defiance.

[PointMaid]

Samantha nods emphatically at that last part. We are indeed not going down easily, Mr. Tyson.

[Kennifer]

"I'm definitely going to do what I can to help." Felicia nods.

[wingedcatgirl]

Samantha's eyes go wide and she can only mouth, thanks.

Just to be sure and while we're on the subject... I'm understanding that a Wannabe is on the side of the Killers from the start, but doesn't know them. Do they have their own safeclaim?

Death starts to speak, but immediately falters. Shit, do they? I don't remember what I did. They pull out a notepad and start flipping through the pages.

There's plenty of box sets to choose from. Cable doesn't work anymore though.

Okay, it's looking like... wait, why should I help you with this? I want you to be lost and confused!

Life rolls their eyes. No, the Wannabe has no safeclaim.

Hey, how the hell do you know that?

I peeked over your shoulder when you were reading your notes.

[COLOR=7dbd230"Hi, Tython! Look, I'm dead!"[/COLOR] And Nico wiggles his ghostly feet at Mike Tyson.

[Oggy123]

> Look for some cute anime or manga. Perhaps that will take my mind off this situation...

[PointMaid]

So, a wannabe wouldn't have a safeclaim. That's good to know. Could be helpful.

Score! There's a stack of slice-of-life manga about someone running a cat cafe while also being a government spy. The title is in an unfamiliar language, but it seems like it might contain something like "Wildfire".

I'm gonna set the sun soon. I forgot I had to do that myself around here.

"Soon" here being some time tomorrow after 7:30 PM ET.

[TheOtherCG]

"Hello, Monsieur Tyson!" Marie greeted.

[Oggy123]

Yuuta goes to where Mike Tyson is, bringing the manga.

"Oh, you're back!"

Suzume chirps happily at him.

[Florien]

Oh, you didn't fall through the floor and into the eternal void warehouse where the mail that gets lost in the undelivered mail storage center goes to and where reside the foul pits of boiling envelope glue that are too good a place for Louis DeJoy to be condemned to? I assumed being two dimensional caused that.

Excellent! By the way, we're fairly sure you're innocent, and we're fairly sure Louis (the king not the postmaster general) and Marie are guilty. And someone else, of course. But we'll see what Giroro does tomorrow dawn, and I'll avoid being dead.

[PointMaid]

...Their getting confused doesn't look good, true. But given that it led to the correct apprehension of Yoshiko, after I pointed out the relevant clause in the rulebook, I'm skeptical of using it as the only mark against them. Is there anything else?

Consider that you, Overlynd, accused Nico of being a killer and setting himself up in a too-obvious manner when he was the heavy, you were wrong about Cass, and you were wrong about me. I'm getting a little tired of your hunches without something more to back them up.

Could they have made that bad of a mistake, though, as to immediately make them and their teammate suspicious? Possibly. In any case, we have the night to think things over and perhaps gather what information we can.

[PointMaid]

...I also realized something. It's possible I owe quite a debt of gratitude to Yuuta. If the killers had gone after me last night, they wouldn't have been able to kill me, since I was Jailed. Which would also explain there being no death last night.

[Oggy123]

"Well, perhaps that what happened, and i just chose the right target by accident... Anyway, perhaps we'll be getting closer to finding the other cultists tomorrow."

[Oggy123]

Yuuta looks toward the ceiling.

"I'm sorry, Cass..."

[Florien]

Don't be ridiculous. Nico wasn't a hunch, there was no information to go off there, so it was either Nico or literally anyone else. I decided it didn't matter, and Nico revealed himself as the heavy, giving us an enormous help. I was only wrong about you because it said nowhere that YOU had a safeclaim. Cass was not guaranteed, and current death, in fact, gave us an opportunity to check Giroro and save him.

To my knowledge, Louis and Marie never stopped claiming to be the Jailer, when we know Yuuta is the real jailer.

[PopcornPie]

"Well, I never heard anything different from anyone since the role claims." Nico shrugged.

[PointMaid]

Hmmm. Wracking my memories, I believe you're right about that. For some reason I'd thought they'd been claiming the Bus Driver role along with Yoshiko, which they did, but then they turned around and claimed Jailer, didn't they. Which... Oggy being that certainly does line up with what I've experienced.

This is why I need to write things down.

(OOC: And by wracking my memories, I mean reading back through that section of the thread)

[PointMaid]

* I meant to say Yuuta rather than Oggy, of course

[PointMaid]

I may owe you an apology, Overlynd.

[Kennifer]

"At any rate I have figured out what I think is best for me to do tonight, and informed Nico of this."

Pippin is now tugging at Felicia's pant leg. She picks him up and holds him, which seems to calm him down.

[Oggy123]

"I think we need to take a break. See you in the morning."

Yuuta then goes in his room and starts reading the manga.

[PopcornPie]

Nico nodded to Felicia, then went back to the Rec Room. Now that he's dead, he doesn't need to sleep in his own room anymore. Or even take his medicine. So, if you think about it, being dead is pretty sweet.
