I really don't want to do this to a kid... but my wife is right. There's something about them. I'm with her, we have to. We're going to vote.

"Oh, yeah, that's right. If Blue were a Rolecop, leaving that animatronic with the Coroner, Red would be lying unnecessarily. So I think that makes it easier for us to chose whom to throw under the bus. And the ghost is... a ghost, no matter how young, and he technically has no useful role. If there's anyone to sacrifice..."

Nothing amiss

Believe me, please. The Soul is innocent, what can one do to fix your backwards perceptions?!

[artsyGeek]

". .I can't bring myself to vote a child as young as them, and yet. . Nothing seems to indicate they're innocent. However, I doubt that anything really indicates they're scum either. Voting for Nellie is. . Way too harsh a response though. 'Suppose for now, I'll just. ."

I have no understanding of your position, given that you were given a binary choice. But if that is the route you wish to take, then take it.

[PointMaid]

...The longer this goes on, the more of us will die. We've narrowed it down, and if we do it this way, we have a good shot at ending this tomorrow at the latest, whether we're wrong or right.

Honey, I know you're trying to be logical. Maybe this whole thing has made you go numb. But regardless, nobody wants to execute somebody who might not deserve it. Heck, even if they do deserve it... I understand Kondraki's dilemma. Don't be too hard on him.

"My opinion still stands. I really don't want make myself any more suspicious, but the fact that you keep defending the Soul in particular rings suspicious to me."

[TenOfSwords13]

Given that you're accusing them, and that I know of their innocence, and that they are not speaking at the current moment, I have no choice.

[Kennifer]

"The thing is, Red, you are also under suspicion, so we can't just take you on your word. Yes, it's possible you're telling the truth, you're the Investigator now, yadda yadda yadda... though it's also possible you remembered being the Wannabe, the Soul inducted you into the cult and you're covering for them. But we should know which of these is true soon."

[PointMaid]

I understand your dilemma, Red, but... you understand why we can't take you at your word. Plus, while my wife may be a little more numb to things than is good for her... and I think I'm going to ask her to speak to a therapist after this, which maybe we all should do... if we haven't completely missed the mark at all, in the worst case scenario where we convict the Soul it takes until tomorrow to take care of all the cultists. In the best case scenario where we convict Nellie and he's not innocent, we're clear tonight... but in the worst case, or if we don't convict today at all, it takes at least two more days, all the while we can lost people.

[TenOfSwords13]

I know that you doubt me, that point has been brought up countless times. But what I am protesting is being labled as suspicious out of defence of who I deem innocent.

[PointMaid]

Are you all entirely sure you can remember no actions of Nellie or the Soul that would make no sense were they a cultist?

[PointMaid]

...Or even actions of Red, after he recovered from his amnesia.

[TenOfSwords13]

…

I am assuming the long silence indicates a negative response, no?

[Kennifer]

"None that can be backed up for sure by those we've seemingly cleared as innocents."

[PointMaid]

...We're running short on time.

[PointMaid]

Okay, here's one other point. How likely are we to get any actual verifiable information on Nellie, Red, or the Soul tonight? I'm not seeing that we have that good odds of getting anything that will help. The cultists aren't going to help us narrow down the pool by killing one of them, they're going to kill one of us that are verified innocent. And if the quality of the evidence is the same tomorrow as it was today... we won't have anything better to go on tomorrow. Just one more dead body.

[Kennifer]

"Yeah, and they're likely to go after someone with a more powerful role, rather than say... me. As much of a pain I'm trying to make myself to them, my night actions aren't exactly going to tell us anything."

[Magolor]

"...The question is, then, whether to risk eliminating the ghost unnecessarily... If we don't eliminate anyone tonight, it's more than likely the next murder would be an attempt to frame. At that point, we would be losing another one of us unnecessarily. It's... probably best that we eliminate the Soul tonight, since that means we have a large chance of getting out of here tomorrow."
