[Fin] Murder in the Mountains (End)

[PointMaid]

...And the first night he claims to have swapped Lotus too. With Malakhiri. Lotus is the common denominator there. Except for the night he claims to have swapped us, Amy, which neither of us could confirm because nothing happened. Which is possible, but the only one who could confirm him at all seems to be... Lotus.

There's something else I thought of, honey. I'm as skeptical about the supposed Masons as anyone. But if one of them is found false... we'll know the other has to be false as well. That is a bit risky. Might be a risk they're willing to take, but... risky if they're cultists.

[Kennifer]

"Cultists covering for one another is definitely possible and to be expected… I do recall that Lloyd had mentioned jailing Kondraki the night he was switching us, and since apparently he could do that before he died… again it doesn't necessarily confirm whether or not an attempt was made."

[PointMaid]

True. Either that or just... not having anything happen to us that we would notice would explain it. I am thinking that Lloyd did jail him, but we might have had fairly boring nights anyway.

[Kennifer]

"Or... okay, now that I've been forced into roleclaiming I can admit I visited you two that night. Maybe we were in close enough proximity that if we did get switched we wouldn't have even noticed."

Amy pauses.

"...I just wanted an apple or something, I swear. I didn't eat much that day."

[PointMaid]

Huh. You could've just asked. I mean... we are sorry you didn't get the fruit basket that first night.

[Kennifer]

"...well, there's also the fact that people had suspected Chip at that point and I figured if you were cultists, you might... yeah. Sorry about that."

[PointMaid]

It's... look, I get it. Water under the bridge.

[Caret]

"Well... do we have any other evidence that we haven't considered yet? Also, I only roleclaimed because I felt like I was being pressured into doing so to prove my innocence, and... I worry that I made a grave mistake."

[TenOfSwords13]

... am I not thinking straight or am I not seeing any contradictions in anyone's stories? Everyone seems relatively believeable, is there really no way to see who is lying right now?

[Florien]

THERE'S A CONTRADICTION! THE SO-CALLED "AVATAR OF DEATH" ISN'T KILLING ANYONE! NOT MUCH OF AN AVATAR OF DEATH IF IT ISN'T KILLING ANYONE! I THINK IT'S LYING AND ISN'T REALLY MUCH OF AN AVATAR OF ANYTHING AT ALL!

[TenOfSwords13]

... I mean... that is not incorrect. Will it even let us kill it like this? Would it not hurt to try?

[psychedelicate]

"W-wait... a-are we, um, even allowed to do that?"

[TenOfSwords13]

I have no idea, but experimentation yields results.

[artsyGeek]

". .I-I know I just spaced out for some time, but for fuck's sake, did you just voted the avatar of death?! Is that even po- Well, seems like no one's reprimanded you just yet, yes, but! What do we even gain from doing this shit?"

[Cassie]

... I mean... that is not incorrect. Will it even let us kill it like this? Would it not hurt to try?

Bitchass idiot.

...that's all they say.

[TenOfSwords13]

… I am maintaining my vote on you.

[Cassie]

Votes (7/12 to confirm):

None

[artsyGeek]

“Speak of the devil, huh?”

“. .Other than that bullshit argument, what else do we have here?”

[PointMaid]

...Does this have any chance of working? Any? Are they going to execute... themselves? That doesn't seem likely.

[PointMaid]

...I took some notes on what Lotus said

"Allow me to explain my actions all these nights.
The first night, I intended to Stalk Malakhiri because he claimed to be a cultist. I was then switched to Red, who is definitely a Rickroller. That's why I, Kondraki, and Amy all heard that music.

However, the second night, Knuckles visited the self-proclaimed cultist. I verified this as the Stalker. I already explained that was to confirm he was telling the truth. He mentioned no music, and actually confirmed I didn't visit the crazy geezer.

I wanted to visit the one who claimed Bulletproof—Z—but confused them with Amy. That's how I was able to conclude Amy was either an unjester, or a Rolecop.

As it stands, most of us cannot confirm our roles without using them up. Commuter, CPR Doctor, Bulletproof, Masons, and the Amnesiac's new role come to mind... the Masons are particularly dangerous, while our CPR Doctor is particularly valuable.

I'm starting to get suspicious of how often you guys forget what I'm saying... Perhaps some of the ones who forgot are particularly crafty Cultists, or they're just braindead."

...I will admit to sometimes forgetting. It's a complicated case.

...I'm not sure what Lotus said there about trying to visit Z and getting Amy last night squares up with what Kondraki said, though, if it's supposed to be because of his powers she got confused. Kondraki said he switched Lotus and Z last night. So if she tried to go after Z and got confused because of his powers, she should have gotten... well, herself, strangely enough.

[Kennifer]

"...I nod off for a few minutes and people are trying to execute the Avatar of Death? Okay, I don't think I'm the alleged 'braindead' one around here just because I forgot something somebody said when they were trying to get me to roleclaim."

Amy laughs.

"But yes. I'd like to know how the hell I was mistaken either for Z by Lotus or for Lotus by Kondraki, because... one of those would have had to happen for those stories to line up."

[artsyGeek]

[Konny checked his notes.]

“. .nnnope. I did swapped Lotus and Z. Want me to show all the people I've swapped, or?”

[wingedcatgirl]

... I mean... that is not incorrect. Will it even let us kill it like this? Would it not hurt to try?

/vote Avatar of Death

"Believe me, I would end Death in an instant if I could. Unfortunately, that's not an option."

[Kennifer]

Amy nods to Kondraki. "Might be useful in getting everyone's stories straight, yes. Because if you switched Lotus and Z, I don't know how I got 'mixed up' with Z."

[Magolor]

"Ok, fine, I admit it, I forgot which one of you was the Bulletproof. Disappointing, I know. It's not like I would've lied! If I had visited myself, then... that's just confusing. Then I would conclude that I visited myself. Why wouldn't I want to reveal that information instead?"
