[Fin] Murder in the Mountains (End)

[MadameButterflyKnife]

So...you're some sort of illusionist. That seems to be plausable. But we don't know what else your butterflies can do. If you even used them for that purpose last night. Now, the fact neither the writer or the cultist seemed to be involved in this game of roles and roleblocking is a point in all of your favor.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Well, yeah, four-eyes! It's because I jailed you two. Nothing would happen to you and you couldn't do a damn thing. So yeah... now you know the truth of the matter. I can at least confirm the newlywed's innocence. But not so much Billy Butterfly's.

[TalesofUnder]

Do you have any more compelling evidence, Kondraki? Or is it mere smoke and mirrors?

[artsyGeek]

[. .hooookkkkaaaay, yeah Kondraki's more than pissed off. He sighs, seemingly trying to calm himself down, before finally speaking up.]

". .well, before night came, I saw that echidna fella' at the library. Maybe he could prove it?"

[TalesofUnder]

Well, okay. Can this... echidna confirm?

[Caret]

"Please, let the echidna explain. This is a nightmare right now..."

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Even if the drowned rat does back him up, they could still be in on it too, you know. Can't rule out that possibility.

[Kennifer]

"Okay, so either you all are in cahoots and trying to distract me with all this fruit talk, or you're all telling the truth." Amy motions towards Lloyd, Chip, and Ada. Their stories did back each other up, but with no fruit in sight, they could also all be cultists and just... backing each other's stories up so as not to rouse suspicion. She'd keep an eye on this, but so far she wasn't suspicious enough of them to vote.

"And you... okay, that butterfly thing is pretty cool." She nods towards Kondraki, then sips her coffee again. "I'd like to hear if anyone involved in your little... switcharoo noticed anything unusual last night. And I do mean anything unusual. Did you feel anything, see anything, or hear anything? Or would they have even noticed?"

[door-kun]

"Yeah, I saw im. What's it to ya?"

[TalesofUnder]

...This complicates matters. Either he's lying to cover up for Kondraki, or Lloyd and... Chip? Lloyd and Chip could be lying to protect each other.

[PointMaid]

Well, what did you see? Because if the only ones of us with brown hair... well, let's say I'm quite sure it wasn't me.

[MadameButterflyKnife]

Or, some sort of third option. Everyone involved is telling the truth, and we could be chasing ourselves in circles. Knuckles, Kondraki, Lloyd, and Chip's stories don't inherently contradict. Unless I missed something.

[psychedelicate]

"Or... or maybe you're the one who's lying..." Mitsuha whimpers to Jean.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Using your head, Jean. I like that.

[PointMaid]

> Can we at least figure out exactly WHO would be considered brown haired?

[PointMaid]

...Explain, Jean. Somebody killed the bear.

[artsyGeek]

...This complicates matters. Either he's lying to cover up for Kondraki, or Lloyd and... Chip? Lloyd and Chip could be lying to protect each other.

"Good point, but also. Why the fuck would he? He greeted me with a pretty aggressive statement. Something about "this is my place" or somethin' of the like."

[Cassie]

> WHO MIGHT BE BROWN-HAIRED?

Off the top of your head, you got Kondraki and Chip under consideration on that.

[TalesofUnder]

I know that somebody killed the bear, Chip. What do you want to prove?

[PointMaid]

...How everyone can be telling the truth.

[TalesofUnder]

Gah.... this is too much of a mess to prove anything for certain. I'm gonna go ahead and...

/novote

[MadameButterflyKnife]

I was the one who stated that, Chip. And it could still be a possibility, although much less likely if Lloyd indeed did jail both of you. For one of you to have your hair there and for both of you to be truthful...it would be likely to have been some sort of plant. And the jailing makes that less likely anyone could have gotten to you.

[PointMaid]

...Sorry, I meant to say that to Blue. But the question still stands.

[PointMaid]

Mmm. It could be a plant. But yes, I do believe Lloyd jailed us.

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

> Anything other evidence near Freddy besides the hair?
